Three GIs Describe Beatings Death in Viet Cong Camps
Three Special Forces soldiers testified at a foreign affairs subcommittee hearing about beatings and deaths in Viet Cong prisoner camps in South Vietnam. They urged U S rescue raids, saying such actions would boost morale even if raides failed, and cited better prisoner morale as a key motive. The prisoners recounted severe conditions, including cramped cages and rifles cocked above, with several deaths and missing Americans noted by lawmakers.

House blocks aid to Greece and Pakistan
The House voted to suspend Greek and Pakistani military governments from US aid to push reforms. Greek aid reduced to $90 million with a potential $118 million cap, while Pakistan aid is suspended up to $295 million plus already approved funds until East Pakistan turmoil and refugee rights are resolved. The bill sets $3.4 billion annually for two years, including $2 billion for military assistance and $1.4 billion for economic development.

U S sets draft lottery Thursday
UPI reports Selective Service officials prepared 730 capsules for the third annual draft lottery. The process aims to order military induction for about two million men born in 1982, though authority lapsed as Congress debated extending the Selective Service Act. The random drawing uses scrambled dates and numbers, with drums rotated to ensure fairness.

Congress opens first hearings on national birth control policy
Senate labor subcommittee chaired by Sen. Cranston will consider a resolution declaring voluntary population stabilization as U.S. policy. Cranston says action before the Population Commission report due in March 1972 may be warranted and cites a moon landing parable. A witness proposes a permanent national council of population advisers to guide policy including education, jobs for women, and research.
