Local Board 105 Details 1970 Draft Rules and Extensions
Local Board No. 105 executive secretary Trena T. Murphy announces that random selection number 161 is the highest reached in 1970. The board expects no beyond this high number, with late registrants unlikely to push it higher. An Executive Order allows carryover of certain 1-A registrants into early 1971. Some 1-A classifications as of December 31, 1970, face extended liability into March. Contact Murphy at the Pecos Selective Service Office for more information. Also reported are three local thefts: a coin machine break-in at Taylor Shell Station, a burglarized home on S. Pecan Avenue, and a missing brown plastic billfold near Alamo by the Lone Star Motel.
