WASHINGTON (- The Se-
lective Service yesterday"
stopped the draft until at least
late next month and suspend-
ed all deferment hearings be-
fore state and local boards.
Citing criticism that some pro-
posed new deferment rules were
unfair, Selective Service Director
Curtis Tarr said he wants to re-
evaluate the reclassification pro-
visions before reinstating the hear-I
ings.
Meanwhile, the Army yesterday
announced that thousands of first-
term draftees and volunteers due
for discharge next year will be re-
leased up to six months early,
bringing Army strength down to
892,000 by June 30 as ordered by
Congress.
About 60,000 GI's are believed
to be affected by the new policy
which went into effect immediately
and will remain in effect until
June 30.
The discharges will be manda-
tory except for those men and wo-
men who indicate in writing that
they plan to re-enlist for a second
term, the Army said.
Tarr announced the draft halt
in formally putting into effect most
of the new deferment provisions.
These provisions include:
-Ending undergraduate student
deferments except for those eligi-
ble during the last quarter or se-
mester of the 1970-71 academic,
year;
-Establishment of a Uniform
National Call System for issuing
draft calls so that all men with,
the same lottery number will re-
ceive induction notices at approxi-
mately the same time; and
-Establishment of classificationj
1-H as a "holding" category for
those registrants not currently
subject to active processing for
induction.
The suspension of induction for
those awaiting hearings was spur-
red by congressional and public
criticisms that came after the new
regulations appeared Nov. 3, 4
and 5 in the Federal Register,
Tarr said. Such proposed rules
become legal within 30 days unless
they are challenged.
Members of Congress had pro-
tested that newnrules proposed by
Tarr last month violate the spirit
of Congress' intent in the new draft
law by making it more difficult
to get deferments.
Many members of Congress said
the 30-day limit for appealing the
proposed changes made it more
difficult for some registrants to
get deferments.
Local boards, however, will con-
tinue to register, classify, and
examine young men, Tarr said.

Over 15,000 people packed
Crisler Arena last night for a
benefit rally for John Sinclair,
head of the locally - based
Rainbow People's Party, who
is currently serving a 9/Z-10
year sentence for marijuana
possession.
Headlining the event were John
and Yoko Lennon, Black Panther
Party chairman Bobby Seale and
Chicago Seven defendants Jerry
Rubin, Rennie Davis and David
Dellinger.
Sinclair, currently serving his
term in Jackson State Prison,
snake to the rally over the phone.
"I'm just wiped out. I don't know
what to say," he told the crowd
Speakers throughout the even-
ing called for the release of Sin-
clair and other political prisoners,
legalization of marijuana and the
defeat of President Richard Nixon
-as the arena shook to the beat
of rock music, provided by a num-
ber of bands.
The Lennons entered the arena
at 1:25 a.m. and observed the
show for about three minutes.
Sitting on the steps below the
audience, John and Yoko Lennon
watched a large color television
screen as dozens of newsmen and
photographers crowded around
them. Then, without explanation,
they got up and left the arena to
await the time of their perform-
ance.
As The Daily went to press this
morning, the Lennons had not
yet appeared on the stage.
"We are calling for 500,000 to
one million people to turn up at
the Republican National Conven-
tion in San Diego this summer to
humiliate and defeat Richard Nix-
on." Rubin said.
"What we are doing here," he
added, "is uniting music and revo-
lutionary politics to build a revo-
lution around the country."
A giant video color projection of
the performers vied with the
speakers and music for the at-
tention of the audience.
As one spectator put it, "It's
just like being in a drive-in movie
with the band on your dashboard."
David Sinclair, John's brother
and a member of the Rainbow
People's Party, took the stage to
read a statement from Ann Arbor
Mayor Robert Harris. In the state-
ment, Harris praised the State
Legislature's action in lowering
marijuana penalties Thursday,
but said there still is a long way
to go in reforming marijuana laws.
Harris also assailed the sentence
given to Sinclair and had harsh
words for the judge who imposed
the sentence, Detroit Recorder's
Court Judge Robert Colombo.

REJECT CEASE-FIRE:
The University's Civil Liber-
ties Board yesterdayrendorsed
Senate Assembly's proposal to
ban most federally sponsored
classified research, with a ma-
jority of the board agreeing that
the proposed policies do not
threaten academic freedom.
Although recognizing that
serious questions regarding aca-
demic freedom are involved in
the recommendations, a major-
y of the board concluded that
"to the extent that research
contracts and grants are free of
limitations upon publication,
freedom of access is advanced
and the capacity of the student,
teacher, and scholar to learn
and evaluate what others have
discovered is increased."
A minority of the board said
the proposals are open to the
charge that their real goal is to
thwart the political objectives
of the federal government, and
that procedures for reviewing
research proposals are ambigu-
ous.

Meghna River 36 miles from
D a c c a, an army spokesman
claimed, while o t h e r Indian

Indian army officers suggested
their forces might be in Dacca

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
answered a United Nations call
for a cease-fire, saying, "We
shall never shirk our responsi-

crushed."
In another development, a
spokesman for the Indian gov-
ernment said India and Bangla
Desh-the Bengal nation pro-
claimed by East Pakistani rebels
-reached an understanding for
the return of an estimated 10
mulion refugees to East Paki-
stan.
It was also reported that the
Bangla Desh government is ex-
pected to establish adprovisional
capital in Jessore today.
Despite the Indian advance
Radio Pakistan claimed that "in
East Pakistan, all important
towns are under our control."
The radio, quoting a Pakistan
armyspokesman, did not men-
tion India's claim of crossing the
Meghna River or the reported
Indian advance from the south-
east.
The Indian forces at Daud-
kandi must cross three arms of

The only serious fighting yes-

been surrounded but were still
resisting.
This was the region where
Radio Pakistan s a i d Indian
troops penetrated deep into Paki-
stani ranks at Hilli. It reported
that after fierce fighting the
Pakistanis repulsed the attack
and destroyed seven Soviet-built
tanks.
On the western front, an In-
dian spokesman said heavy fight-
ing flared again in the Chhamb
region in southwestern Kashmir,
with the Pakistanis launching
two attacks yesterday on Indian
defensive positions. He said the
attacks were repulsed.
In the five days since the Paki-
stanis first attacked, he said,
"we have suffered heavy casual-
ties, but their casualties have
been heavier."
