Bombing Suspect Charged in San Francisco Bank Plot
Attorney General John Mitchell and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover identified Ronald Kaufman, a 33 year old AWOL Army private with a Stanford PhD, as the suspect in planting time bombs in three San Francisco banks. He remains at large as a federal warrant charges him with malicious attempts to destroy the banks. Authorities say bombs were linked to letters postmarked in Chicago and targeting multiple cities as part of a plan to free political prisoners. The FBI released a composite photo and noted Kaufman’s past SDS connections and various enlistment names. If convicted, he faces up to 81 years in prison and fines up to 90 thousand dollars. He is described as armed and dangerous.

Washington AP reports voluntary enlistments lagged in the July December 1971 period, threatening Nixon plans to end the draft by 1973. Navy and Army underperformed against goals, Marine and Air Force fared better, while military pay boosts may fail to attract enough volunteers as Selective Service calls stayed light. The Defense Department faces deeper cuts and potential draft reliance in 1972 if trends do not improve.
