Hershey Urges Elf Volunteer Army In Dissent Gap
Former Selective Service head Gen Louis B Hershey spoke at his granddaughter’s wedding about preferring an elf volunteer army yet fearing the pool of applicants would be average. He defended the draft system as fair if universally applied and criticized exemptions for dissenters. He argued youths struggle with Vietnam’s complexities and foreign affairs. A separate local incident involved Patty Voss and Frank Canibane arrested for public indecency after kissing while waiting at a street light. The judge released them, noting the kiss was harmless.
