Laird defends
volunteer army
before committeel
WASHINGTON F -- Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird
rejected yesterday the idea that frontline soldiers in an all
volunteer Army would consist primarily of blacks and other
disadvantaged minority citizens.
"This will not be the major problem," he said. "We will
have a well rounded, well-trained military service" if Con-
gress provides sufficient pay and education incentives.
He estimated it would cost an additional $5 billion a year
for servicemen's salaries if the nation is to attract and keep
sufficient volunteers so the draft can be ended safely.
Laird gave his views before a skeptical Senate Armed
Services Committee as he presented the administration's plea
for a two-year extension of the draft and 5 per cent pay hike
for lower-grade enlisted menl +-
as part of the plan to elimi-
nate the draft by mid 1973. s1
Committee Chairman John C.Jd a
Stennis (D-Miss.) said going into
the marketplace to compete on a
salary basis for men would attract
a great number of "dropouts, mis-
fits, ne'er-do-wells, whatever you
want to call them."t l f
