Pentagon to phase out Project 100000 under draft shift
Washington AP reports the Pentagon is cutting back and phasing out Project 100000, Johnson era antipoverty program for men with lower physical and mental standards. Fewer than 50,000 are expected to enter this year as draft calls decline and the armed forces shrink. The program began in 1966 to salvage poverty-scarred youth for military service and civilian life, with a long term goal of ending quota controls as draft calls fall.

Old Act Raises Furor In Detention Debate In Congress
Washington lawmakers clash over the 1950 Emergency Detention Act as supporters push to keep the law but tighten safeguards while opponents warn of political detention. Rep Richard Schord and Rep Robert Kastenmeier lead the debate amid fears of abuse and echoes of Japanese American internment. The Justice Department notes prior camps were abandoned or repurposed, and the Nixon administration backs repeal to curb mass detention fears.
