Little Charges Selective Service Paralyzed in Canada
Elliott M. Little resigned as director of National Selective Service and issued a seven page statement outlining his differences with Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell. He claims paralysis within Selective Service was caused by the government's approach and details proposals to offset it, arguing the structure should place the director under the labor minister. He cites a memorandum presented during Mitchell's England trip and defends his own four principles and resignation as necessary for national interest.
