Pentagon aims to end draft inductions by December
The Pentagon seeks to halt draft inductions by December six months before Nixon’s target to end conscription. Melvin Laird told Nixon the January to July 1973 period could see zero drafts with current authority expiring, as the push to a volunteer armed forces continues. The report notes reduced active forces and higher voluntary enlistments, with U.S. manpower around 2.3 million, 1.2 million below Vietnam peak. Congressional action on bonuses and enlistment incentives is urged to complete the all volunteer force. Army and Marine bonuses aided recruitment, signing 5,400 in June, above average needs.

White corn prices may rise on small 1972 crop
USDA says white corn acreage this year totaled about 450 000 acres, less than half of 1.1 million in 1971, with white corn production uncertain for 1971. Prices may move up later this year due to the sharp acreage cutback and smaller overall harvest, while white corn typically commands a small premium over yellow corn. Kentucky accounts for about a quarter of white corn output, with Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio also producing the crop.

Stray Dogs Inherit $14 Million In Broward County Will
In Broward County Court the estate of Eleanor Ritchey totaling about $18 million after gains was settled. Ritchey left her dogs to receive roughly $14 million of the estate, to be held for up to 20 years or until the last dog dies, then pass to Auburn University for small animal disease study. The dogs reside on a 180 acre Deerfield Beach ranch and are cared for with biweekly medical checkups and extensive food costs. Relatives had contested the will citing Ritchey’s detachment from reality after neighbors’ lawsuit over barking forced relocation of the dogs.
