New Army Training Program May Hurt Selective Service
James Marlow reports on the Army plan allowing draft age youths 18 26 to volunteer for six months active duty then enter ready reserves for five plus years and standby reserves for three years while others face changes in the draft rules.

New Senator Blakley to Vote Democrat in Senate
William A Blakley, newly appointed Texas senator, will vote with Democrats on moves to reorganize the Senate. The 58 year old Democrat said he would back Democratic efforts, diminishing Republican hopes to seize control. Blakley was named by Gov Allan Shivers to replace resigned Democrat Price Daniel. Daniel succeeded Shivers as Texas governor. With Blakley sworn in, the Senate stands 48 Democrats to 47 Republicans, risking a Nixon tie on any further shifts.
