Judge in Los Angeles Implements Six Year Alternative Service Program
UPI report says U.S. District Court Judge A Andrew Hauk has sentenced draft resisters to two years of alternative service in the national interest or safety rather than three years in prison. The program, begun six years ago, lets convicts work jobs paying no more than Army wages, with potential six year terms and up to five years on a part time basis. The judge noted leniency until resisters straighten out their marbles and granted probation officials authority to shorten terms for rehabilitation.

Veterinarian Roy Larson linked lead poisoning to losses of about 25 horses annually in the Kellogg Idaho mining area. He traced exposure to emissions from the Bunker Hill Co. smelter and noted horses can roam from 15 to 20 miles away. The same pollution is tied to high blood lead in over 300 local children, according to the National Disease Control Center.
