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." rON (A')-President ched a drive yester- U.S. ratification of aper gold-the first n international cur- than two decades. message to Congress, the United States, as e five years of nego- h led to the plan, of the first nations iistration looks for he plan by Congress this will be greeted ress and have indi- t from both sides of d White House aide 0no, y 65 nations with an weighted vote in the bIt light, IR FORCE BASE, Former President isenhower has suf- heart attack and be hospitalized here eeks, the base said r-old soldier-states-' olf Monday morning home at Palm Ds south.

[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. World news roundup -By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Formal nego- tiations, in the nation-wide tele- phone strike resumed yesterday for the first time since the 13- day-old walkout began and pros- pects were reported hopeful for an agreement within 24 hours.
