Draft calls extend fair draft to 19 year olds
President Johnson urged Congress to extend the Selective Service law and use executive orders to draft 19-year-olds first via a lottery. Lt. Gen. Hershey announced immediate steps to implement the younger-callup while reviewing all classifications for fairness. Johnson sent a special message asking Congress to avoid halting student deferments or drastically constricting the system, deferring thorny questions to lawmakers. Senate and House members reacted cautiously, with emphasis on fairness, while Senator Mansfield urged equalizing the draft to lessen the burden on the poor.

State Lawmaker Seeks New Courts and Transport Bond
State Senator Hughes urged creation of new judgeships in New York City and across the state to cost about 1 million, arguing elimination of funding issues could push factions toward appointments. He noted a broader 10 year program and said the governor’s 2.5 billion mass transit bond would need a strong selling effort to win upstate votes. He has not backed Gov Rockefeller strongly and caused GOP concern last year.
