11000 Men Now Off Draft Hook
Washington AP More than 11 000 young men who have received induction notices but haven't yet reported for duty were given a reprieve today by Selective Service Director Curtis W Tarr. He directed local draft boards to place the men who had draft orders and 115 000 members of the 1972 Extended Priority Selection Group into the less vulnerable Second Priority Selection Group. The action means they won't be drafted unless there is a national emergency. Affected are men whose 1971 induction dates were postponed until the first call of 1972 or until further notice, as well as those with postponements ending before April 1. The 1972 Extended Priority Selection Group consists of men who became eligible for induction in 1971 but did not receive induction notices. These men had to be at least 20 and 1-A on Dec 31, 1971 with lottery numbers below 126. Under directives, registrants with lottery numbers below the highest number reached during the year who become 1-A too late to fill draft calls have liability extended for the first three months of the year. Since there will be no draft calls in January to March 1972, there will be no inductions from the 1972 Extended Priority Selection Group, Tarr also set lottery number 200 as a temporary ceiling for men facing possible induction during the remainder of 1972. SCOTT'S CORNER The sewer is fixed at Community R-6 and school will be in tomorrow after a temporary stoppage canceled today. A basketball game tonight will be played.
