Officials predict smaller 1971 draft pool despite calls
Selective Service Director Curtis Tarr said the 1971 pool of 19 year olds will be smaller than 1970, even with a lottery system. He cited reports that total draftees may fall between 80,000 and 120,000, amid plans to end college deferments and adopt a uniform national call pending Congress approval. Tarr noted local boards set varied ceilings, with 190 as a typical 1970 average, and warned extended liability could push 1972 drafts.
