WASHINGTON (iP)-Draft chief
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey revealed
Monday that President Johnson's
recent rejection of proposed
sweeping changes in the Selective
Service System followed the re-
port of a special task force ap-
pointed by the President.
The task force-composed of
Hershey, former Secretary of De-
Fense Robert S. McNamara and
former Budget Director Charles
L. Schultze-was created to study
the system after the report of a
White House advisory commission.
1967 ENDORSEMENT
Johnson originally endorsed the
commission's operational plans for
Thanges in March, 1967, in a mes-
sage to Congress. The suggestions
included a youngest-first reversal
of the order of induction and a
return to a lottery-type system of
selection.
But he withheld endorsement of
the structural proposals: to cen-
ralize the system, replacing its
4,000 local boards with 300 to 500
area boards; to replace its 56 state
and territorial headquarters with
eight regional offices; and to mod-
ernize and standardize it with
nechanized data processing.
Next, Johnson appointed the
task force to study the system. Al-
though the group completed its
report last January, and the Pres-
ident has seen and approved it,
the report was not made public
until Monday, Hershey said.
'NOT NEWSWORTHY'
' Hershey said the only reason it
was withheld was that he "didn't
think it was newsworthy."
The task force did recommend
some 20 improvements in the
draft system, mainly in procedure.-
Some are being implemented, Her-

shey said, but most are stalled for
lack of money.
Congress in June renewed and
revised the basic draft law-which
spells out the national-state-local
structure-leaving that structure
intact.
By October, Hershey said Mon-
lay, the Task Force had worked
out its position that the present
system should be continued... .
Hershey said his agency had
great influence on the task force.
"We had the best kind of repre-
sentation. We were able to sell
them, to tell them, to educate
them, whatever you want to call
it."

[nternational Monetary Fund, the
agreement will represent the first
3asic change in IMF operations
since the Fund was established by
;he Bretton Woods conference of
1944.
The new money would take the
form of a bookkeeping entry on
government and IMF books and
would be called officially a Spe-
3ial Drawing Right, or SDR in the
Fund. Individual citizens would
never see it.
It would be created when and as
needed to supplement convention-
al world money-gold, dollars and
British pounds-and the Upited
States would receive one fourth of
any money created.
The new international money
plan would set up only the ma-
chinery for cranking out SDR's or
paper gold.
FOR WORLD TRADE
An 85 per cent vote of the 107
member nations which make up
the IMF would be required to cre-
ate the money when it is needed
to finance wbrld trade.
\ The United States, with a 2
per cent vote, and the six Euro-
pean Common Market nations,
with more than 16 per cent, would
have veto power.
Officials expect formal ratifica-
tion of the plan by the required
95 governments early next year
but declined to predict when the
new money might be created.
$1 OR $2 BILLION
Frederick L. Deming, under sec-
retary of the Treasury for mone-
-ary affairs, said the United States
foresees a need for $1 billion to $2
billion yearly in paper gold.
France has thus far been cool to
the new plan but officials said the
agreement can go into effect with-
out the French, who control 4.27
per cent of the IMF's weighted
vote.
This would be the first time
that a new type of money was de-
liberately created by international
edict.
Secretary of the Treasury Hen-
ry H. Fowler is scheduled to ap-
pear tomorrow before the House
Banking Committee to urge adop-
tion of the plan.
Johnson coupled his request for
the new money with a fresh ap-
peal to Congress for approval of
the 10 per cent tax surcharge.
But Sen. William E. Proxmire,
D-Wis., chairman of the Senate-
House Economic Committee, call-
ed for vigorous spending cuts in-
stead of a tax increase.
