The resolution-and supporting material was submitted by Prof. E. Lowell Kelley of the psychology department. Facts on Military Manpower Needs 1. More than 1.6 million able- bodied males become 18 each year. This figure is expected to in- crease to about 2 million by 1974. 2. There are 1.2 million men in the Army at present. One out of three (400,000) are draftees., 3. Manpower needs for Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard are fully met by volunteers. 4. The present probability of be- Ing drafted is roughly 1 in 4. 5. An unknown but very signifi- cant proportion of all current en- listments is attributable to selec- tive service, i.e., draft eligible young men enlist to get t1}eir choice of services. It is doubtful that voluntary enlistments would provide more than 50% of mili- tary manpower needs without se- lective service. 6. Of the men drafted during a 3-month period (Dec. 1065-Feb.' 1966), only 2.1% were college graduates, 12.2% had some col-' lege, and 85.7% no college. 7. There are 4,088 local draft boards in the United States. 8. A Gallup poll last year showed that only 43% of U.S. citizens re- gard the present system as "fair." 9. (a) In 1950, there were 2.2 million undergraduate students- 18% of the 18-21 year olds. (b) In 1966, there were 5.4 million undergraduate students- 30% of the 18-21 year olds. 10. One-fifth of all undergrad- uates attend the relatively new community colleges. 11. (a) In 1950, only 11% of. graduating seniors went on to graduate school. (b) In 1966, about 25% of graduating seniors go on to grad- uate school. 12. There are some fields in which there is a definite shortage of trained specialists: e.g. phar- macists, needed by both the armed ibe To GAN DA IILY forces and by the civilian econo- my. Many schools of pharmacy report an inadequate number of qualified applicants for their freshman classes. A large propor- tion of young M.D.'s are subject to a period of con'ipulsory military service-as officers. Text of Substitute Resolution on Student Deferment Because of widespread and in-f tense debates on the campus of The University of Michigan on the issue of basing student defer- ment in part on academic per- formance, the Faculty of the Col- lege of Literature, Science and the Arts has engaged in extended dis- cussions both of this and the more basic question of whether there should be any student defer- ment, given the current situationI with respect to the relative needs for military and specialized civil- ian manpower. In the course of these deliberations, we have also noted the several alternatives to selective service as a means of meeting the manpower require- ments of all the armed forces. Without presuming to be suffi- ciently well informed to make firm recommendations on many aspects of this important and complex national problem, as college pro- fessors who have observed the practice of student deferment over the past 15 years, we have grave doubts about the desirability of continuing the present practice of deferring college students , during periods when draft calls are rela- tively small. These doubts are based on the following considera- tions: a. Because the abilities to at- tend college, both intellectual and financial, are so closely associated with the socio-economic status of the family; b. Because for a very large pro- portion of college students, con- tinued deferment results in actual exemption from any military serv- ice; c. Because we believe that college attendance and performance in college should be based on posi- tive motivations rather than the negative one of avoiding military service; d. Because we believe that the reservoir of able young people is such that the needs for trained civilian manpower can be met without deferring college students as a category; e. 'Because most of the able young men who would be called to service can complete their col- lege education after their tour of duty. (Admittedly, they will be two years older, but our experi- ence in teaching veterans of World War II leads us to regard them' as good prospective stu- dents.) While expressing our grave doubts about the justification of continuing the current practice )raft of student deferment, we urge: 1. That any change of be made applicable only to men becoming 18 (or 19) old, thus permitting colleg dents who meet the criter deferment to complete the grees. 2. That each young man I 'vised as soon as possible reaching the age of 18 whet not he will be required to se the armed forces, thereby pi ting him to make firm plan, respect to attending college cepting a job, and marriag 3. That, if selective serv continued, the present progr II-S deferment be retained ( books for use, if and whe needs for military man should increase to the point a policy of no student defe would seriously threaten th tion's supply of specialized < trained personnel. 'FBI REPORTS: Draft Convictions Increase; Result of New, Stricter.

In that year there were 234 convictions. In 1963 there wereI 251 and in 1964 there were 227. An official said the big in- reau's Washington headquarters. Many Draft Dodges Hoover said the FBI, in investi- gating SelectiveService Act viola- tions had "encountered virtually every type of draft dodging." Hoover devoted six of his state- ment's 19 pages to the Communist party in this country. He dealt with last year's anti- war demonstrations in a section of the report titled "Communist Party, U.S.A. - Front Activities." But he did not call the demon- strations Communist-inspired. victions in any previous year for crease in 1966 was due partly to which records were immediately larger draft calls and partly to available was in 1954 when 434 strengthening of draft laws.

Japanesesdispatches reported this, and also put a footnote to Mao's eight-month absence from Peking that ended last July. Ky- odo news service said the reason given was that Mao had been balked by his own Central Com- mittee from putting the current purge into operation. Propaganda Chief Tao, named chief of propaganda only four months ago, had de- nounced party Chairman Mao's chief antagonists, President Liu Shao-chi and Teng Hsiao-ping, the party general secretary. Now the Red Guard is lumping all three as opposing Mao's thoughts. The inference is that the Mao- Lin Piao faction made an error in advancing Tao, 60, the south China party chief, until he ranked behind only Mao, Lin and Pre- mier Chou En-lai. The Peking correspondents of the newspapers Asahi and Yomuiri said that after being led through the streets by Red Guards, Tao was subjected to a Red Guard curbside kangaroo court. Neither gave any details. Kangaroo Court While the kangaroo court was in progress, a Red Guard car moved through the streets with a loudspeaker telling the people that Tao was a counterrevolutionary who supported Liu and Teng, Yomiuri said. Tao was accused of spreading the Liu-Teng line in central and south China and har- boring bourgeois elements in his new propaganda organization. Posters in Peking's wall told of Tao's denunciation by Chiang Ching, Mao's actress wife, at a Red Guard rally Wednesday. "Tao Chu attended the Central Committee party meetings," she said, "but never sided with the proletarian revolutionary line rep- resented by Mao Tse-tung. In fact, he remained loyal to the line rep- resented by Liu Shao-chi and Teng Hsiao-ping and is connected with enlarging the Lin-Teng faction. Story of Mao's Absence The Japanese newsagency Ky- odo said the story about Mao's absence was told for the first time in wall posters appearing in Peking. It was the second time in three days that Mao, often pictured as all-powerful in China, was reveal- ed as having lost out to the Cen- tral Committee. Wall posters put up Tuesday said Mao relinquished the presi- dency to Liu Shao-chi against his will in 1958. The latest posters said Mao told the Central Committee in Peking last Oct. 25 that he left the cap- ital in November of 1965 because he could not put into practice his opinions on the great proletarian cultural revolution-as the current purge is called. country," he said. In a section titled "Communist Influence in Racial Matters," Hoover said the "civil rights move- ment during the past year has undergone a sharp division among its leaders as to objectives to be attained and, more specifically, the means by which these objectives would be reached.. Black Power He said "several of the more militant Negro leaders have begun to espouse a line of black power. Some of these have openly advo- cated violence as a means of at- taining their objectives." The report said Communists "recognized the opportunities in- herent in this situation and are always looking for political, social and economic inequities to propa- gandize and use as the basis for creating disorder in our society." 4 Britain Encounters Difficulties Practicing Economic Restraint ., HAPPY NEW YEAR CHICKEN IN THE ROUGH! ot Aos the r. w Also Turkey and Ham By LAWRENCE MALKIN LONDON (P) - The new year ended the first period of total freeze on wages, prices and in- comes. The next six months of credit squeeze and "severe re- straint" may be harder for Prime Minister Harold Wilson's Labor government to enforce. Unions, growing restive, talk, of refusing to cooperate when the thaw is due to begin in July. Busi- ness is afraid the economy may be permanently squeezed out of shape by lack of investment for retool- ing. The government still has not worked out its policy for getting the economy moving again. Wilson's austerity program suc- ceeded in its short-run objective of stabilizing the pound sterling, boosting the gold reserves, and pulling the trade balance out of the red.
