Washington dispatch reports five Republican lawmakers propose a uniform draft standard to replace deferments and increase selectivity. They would create a lottery style selection with younger students eligible for early call up and end most deferments, while urging a broader university involvement and a Pulitzer linked advisory panel. The plan, led by Hershey, Horton and Shriver, is unlikely to advance this session given Armed Services Chairman Rivers' opposition.
