Deferment Suspensions Boost
Opposition to Selective Service
By PHIL SEMAS
WASHINGTON (CPS)-Genera
Hershey continues to be a big hel
to the anti-draft movement.
Last fall he helped consolidat
opposition to the draft with hi
recommendation that local draf
boards reclassify and induct anti
war protesters as soon as possible
That order resulted in three col

the war and especially against the
draf t.
It has long been a goal of such
groups as SDS to see an end to all
student deferments. SDS has right-
ly argued that such deferments are
unfair. But SDS's basic reason for
wanting deferments ended is that
they "cushion" students against
the impact of the war.
Privileged Status
Although students are more
likely to oppose the war than other
draft-age youth, their opposition
is likely to be less active because
their privileged draft status means
the war does not touch them di-
rectly. Opposition to the war is
strongest on college campuses, but
anti-draft workers have reasoned
that it would be even stronger if
students lost their privileged draft
bay through graduate deferments.
The first test of this impact will
come April 20-30 when draft re-
sistance groups have planned theirI
third anti-draft week. The first.
last October, was fairly successful,
with several hundred men turning
in draft cards. The second pretty
much flopped except for a big
demonstration in Boston. This
third effort, drawing on students'
discontent with the war and the
greater likelihood of their being
drafted, could be the most suc-
cessful yet.
Reach New High
Other war opponents have also
called for a national student strike
against the war during that period.
Earlier this strike had scant
chances of success. Now, with

direct instructions on the com-
puter systems themselves.
The existing Freedom of Infor-
mation Act, Miller noted, was
passed "in furtherance of the
public's right to know - a mar-
velous cliche effectively manipu-
lated by the mass communica-
tions media."
But it may have the effect "of
forcing disclosure of a great deal
of information that originally
was given the government with
the understanding that it would
be kept confidential, and a con-
siderable amount of personal data
that many a sensitive citizen
would consider private."
The act, he said, represented a
"complete reversal of our past
presumption in favor of privacy"
in that it requires disclosure of
personal data within specified
categories "unless it would consti-
tute a clearly unwarranted in-
vasion of personal privacy."
If individual privacy is to be
given any meaningful protection
against the computer, Miller as-
serted, "it must be available at
the point of information gather-
ing. The key is appropriate limi-
tations on input" rather than the
development of legal remedies
after the fact.
"What is essential is the devel-
opment of a comprehensive set of b
rules of information gathering,
disclosure and confidentiality, as
well as legislative standards of
care for information processing
that will supplant, to the extent
feasible, the existing crazy-quilt
of regulations and fill the existing
statutory gaps."
Miller called on Congress to es-
tablish "reasonably precise stand-
ards regarding the information
that a federal data center can re-
cord . . . Information gathered
without specific Congressional
authorization should be denied
access to a data center."
And without an absolutely over-
powering demonstration that the
preservation of sensitive highly
personal information is essential
to national policy, "the data
should be permitted to be lost to
man's memory or simply be re-
tained on a decentralized confi-
dential basis."
