commissioned officer in. charge
of a reserve unit in Miami.
"I'm planning to duck into the
Reserves," said Paul Lipson, a
Brooklyn college student, who is
number 80 in the lottery list. "A
lot of my friends are thinking of
doing that."
Others plan to join ROTC,
among them Raymond Argila of
Seaford, N.Y., who explained:
"That means I can get deferred
while I go to law school. Then
maybe I can be an Air Force
lawyer during my term of serv-
ice."
"It looks like the lottery will
lead to an increase in o u r
ranks," said Maj. David Har-
bach, of the ROTC at St. John's
university in New York.
Meanwhile, the telephones
continue to ring at draft head-
quarters.
"We tell them their numbers
were published in the paper and
they could look up their status
as well as we could," said Geor-
gia's Selective Service direct-
or, Brig. Gen. Mike Y. Hen-
drix.
One exception was noted in
an Associated Press sampling.
In two South Dakota counties
not a single call has been receiv-
ed about the lottery. Said a
spokesman: "Good thing- I
don't know anything about it
either."
Unable to get through to their
draftboards, SouthernC a i-
fomnians inundated the draft
counseling serviceat the Uni-
versity of Southern California
with queries.
The Charleston, W. Va., draft
headquarters received a long-
distance call from a youth in
Miami, due for induction in
West Virginia in January under
a delayed enlistment program.
His was number 366 and last in
the lottery and he implored:
"Can't we back this deal up?"
The answer, with sympathy,
was no.
A mother called Col. James L.
Hays, Maryland director of Se-
lective Service, demanding to
know the draft status of her 17-
year-old son so she could plan
for his future. There was no
answer to that one, since the
minimum lottery age is 19.
Stewart Perry, chairman of
a Rochester, N.Y., board said he
called police after an irate youth
was was number 43 in the lot-
tery threatened to blow up
Perry's house.
"We have wives calling to see
if their husbands will be draft-
ed, deferred men asking if de-
ferments will continue - you
name a question, we've got it,"
said Helen Bowers, executive
secretary of the Albuquerque,
N.M., draft board.
"The phones are lit up, prac-
tically all the time," said Lilyan
C. Cook, executive secretary of
a Miami draft board. "I have a
boy sitting at my desk now who
couldn't get through the other
day. As a rule you can look at
all of our lines and they're all
red."*
Said Mrs. Juanita Armstrong,
supervising executive secre-
tary of Phoenix, Ariz., boards:
"We have had continuous calls
since the dates were drawn. As
soon as one line clears, it rings
again. We know the regulations,
but have not been informed of
the procedures."
Cleveland draft boards report-
ed themselves snowed u n d e r
with calls - including some
who simply want the board to
settle arguments over the lot-
tery setup. But their questions
often go unanswered, for lack
of infor'mation.
Ohio Selective Service head-
quarters said calls have aver-
aged 500 per day and a spokes-
man said: "The press has done
a real nice job. Without them,
we would have had a million
calls.'
Additional phone lines had to
be installed in West Virginia
draft headquarters, in Charles-
ton.
"About half of the calls we get
involve the lottery," said Col.
John W. Brokaw, upstate New
York Selective Service direc-
tor in Albany. "There's a cur-
iosity about where they stand
I have no way of knowing
at this point exactly how many
people I have who were born
on Sept. 14, for example."
Armed forces recruiting al1s o
has been affected. A Navy re-
cruiter in Albany said s o m e
youths with a high lottery prior-
ity have volunteered, w h i l e
others with a low priority have
dropped out of the recruiting
procedure,
"There really hasn't been any
meaningful change - they've
kind of equalized each other
out," he added.
Army recruiters in Seattle re-
ported a 300 per cent increase
in telephone inquiries, while the
Air Force reported a 50 per
cent rise.
Air Force and Coast Guard
recruiters i n Massachusetts
noted increased calls from
youths shopping around for a
program requiring the shortest
term of active duty. Some ex-
pressed willingness to drop out
of school temporarily to fulfill
active duty requirements and
thus be free of the draft.
Callers also include youths
already under orders to report
for induction. They want to
know if a low priority lottery
number means a reprieve. The
answer was no.
Others with a high priority
lottery number ask if they can
enlist, or if they have to wait
until they are called. They are
told they don't have to wait.
In Minneapolis, many callers
ask about deferments, and are
told there has been no change
in deferment status as a result
of the lottery. Others with low
priority lottery numbers want
to drop deferments and take
1-A status, on the theory they
von't be called during their
period of eligibility, and thus
will be free of the threat now
hanging over them when their
deferments end.
"They're being told, take it
easy," said Col. Robert P.
Knight. Minnesota state director
of selective service. "It's too
early to tell how things will
work out. We don't know yet
how far it will go."
The Sioux Falls, S.D., draft
board reported a flurry of calls
from young fathers who wanted
to know if they are liable under
the lottery drawing. They were
told the point has not been
made clear, but the assumption
is draft-age fathers will be de-
ferred.
In all the hubbub, Kevin
Hughes of New York, is high
and dry on his own little island
of security. His birthday is June
8, and his number came up
366th and last in the lottery.
"I view it with mixed emo-
tions," he said. "Although I
had nothing to do with it, I feel
almost like a draft dodger. But
don't get me wrong. I don't
plan to sign up."

Herbert von Korojon's new recording
WAGNER'S "SIEGFRIED"
On DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON
"'YES A MONSTER'S ON THE LOOSE." I+
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope
Ike good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some bought slaves to gather riches
And still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she patiently smiled, and then bore them a child I JLlj
To be their spirit and guiding light
And when the ties with crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from the near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
But she patiently smiled and bore them a child
To be their spirit and guiding light.
The Blue and Grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog
But though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey
The spirit was freedom and justice
Its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
Now they don't pay it no mind
Cause the people got fat and grew lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
But it's just the echo of what they've been told
Yes a monster's on the loose DS 50066 / MONSTER includes MOVE OVER, POWER PLAY,
It's put our heads into the noose DRAFT RESISTOR AND FROM HERE TO THERE EVENTUALLY
And just sits there watching
The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is strangling the land l J J l J J \ U L 1 i2 JV 1
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand A FINE NEW ALBUM WITH WONDERFUL
We don't know how to mind our own business NEW SONGS AND TH E GOOD SOUNDS
The whole world has to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there THAT HAVE .MAD E THE GROUP
No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost THE UNCOMPROMISING BLUNT SPOKESMEN
Yes a monster's on the loose
It's put our heads in a noose OF THEIR GENERATION.
