State studies problem many fail draft tests
Iowa figures show 32.8 percent of Selective Service registrants fail to qualify for military service. The Health Referral Service aims to improve overall health, informing registrants of disqualifying conditions and treatment options. Dr Walter Eidbo notes the program’s goal is healthier citizens, with follow ups to ensure treatment, and about 90 percent of failers signed up last year. The service covers up to 10 dollars for initial counseling, with later visits paid by patients or local aid if needed.

Washington economists say federal spending may rise by 10 to 13 billion dollars in 1966 as the Viet Nam buildup expands. Current 12 month outlays reach 99.7 billion, with budget decisions due in January. If forecasts hold, tax cuts may be unlikely and the net economic impact could be small as spending roughly matches projected revenue gains.
