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. I By HOWARD BRICK 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.

LIBERTIES UNIT: Board endorses research proposal -Daily-Robert Wargo Sinclair rally: Rock and Rubin -Daily-Jim Wallace 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. Indians By The Associated Press Indian forces hurdled the last barrier to Dacca yesterday by reaching the west bank of the Meghna River 36 miles from D a c c a, an army spokesman claimed, while o t h e r Indian forces reportedly reached Daud- kandi, 22 miles southeast of the East Pakistan capital. Indian army officers suggested their forces might be in Dacca within a few days. Meanwhile, in New Delhi, cross i Prime Minister Indira Gandhi answered a United Nations call for a cease-fire, saying, "We shall never shirk our responsi- bility and the enemy shall be 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 iver near Dacca tion at Ashuganj by Indian troops crossing the three mile wide river in steamers and helicop- ters. The only serious fighting yes- terday was reported in the north where an Indian army spokes- man said 3,500 Pakistanis had 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." ~Projects OK'd despite CRC vote By TAMMY JACOBS Two proposals for classified research projects have been accepted by A.
