Draft Study Puts Emphasis on Young Draft
Washington AP A Defense Department study recommends inducting the youngest eligible men first focusing on the 1920 age bracket. Combat commanders favor the younger group and about eight of ten volunteers are under 20. The report presented to the House Armed Services Committee says ending the draft in the next decade requires world condition changes. An all volunteer force would cost between 4 and 17 billion dollars to attract needed personnel. Over 3 million are in service now. The deferment system is described as basically sound. The study was ordered by President Johnson two years ago and was released amid hearings into Selective Service operations. The panel hears that civilians should replace military men where possible and remedial training techniques should be perfected. (Continued on Page 2).
