U. . extends
draft liabilit
through March
WASHINGTON (UP) - Still plugging holes in the draft lot-
tery system, the administration is trying to eliminate the
chance of someone escaping induction by becoiing 1-A
late in the year.
The Selective Service System announced yesterday a
three-month extension of draft liability for any 1-A man
whose draft board has reached his lottery number but who
has not been drafted by the end of the year.
The aim is to prevent the unfairness of drafting one man
according to the lottery of last December; and then passing
up another man with a lower lottery number just because
he became available along with a crowd of other low-num-
bered men after the manpower needs were filled.
That is the kind of situation - --

mission on roriiograpny recom-
mended yesterday that they be re-
pealed.
It supported state laws against
public display of obscene picturesj
or their sale to children, but no
similar ban on written matter.
And it asked mass sex education
so Americans can frankly and
openly deal with sexual matters|I
on an informed basis. t
"The commission believes that
there is no warrant for continued
governmental interference," said
the commission's 12-member ma-
jority, "with the full freedom of
adults to read;' obtain or view
whatever material they wish."
The commission was named in[

and has, in effect, disavowed its.
findings in advance. This indicates
that few, if any, of its recom-
mendations will 1e submitted as
administration-sponsored legisla-
tion.
The 18-member commission's'
majority, led by Chairman Wil-
liam B: Lockhart, said "the spirit
and letter of our Constitution"
prohibit governmental interfer-
ence unless there is a clear threat
of harm-and extensive investiga-
tion has produced no evidence
either that smut is a significant
cause of sex crimes or deviancy or
that it corrupt's the nation's
moral climate.
But three dissenting commis-j

sioners accused the majority of
recommending moral anarchy and
slanting its report in favor of the
pornography business.
The dissenters, including Nixon's
only appointee, Charles H. Keating
Jr., said the purpose of anti-ob-
scenity laws is to protect the pub-
lic, iot individual,'morality and
never N as based on what they;
called the impossible task of prov-
ing specific harmful effects. "The
commission's majority report."
they asserted, "is a Magna Carta
for the pornographer."
"What the American people do1
not know," the dissenters said,I
"is that the scanty and manipu-F
lated evidence contained within
this report is wholly inadequate to
support the conclusions and sus-
tain the recommendations. Thus,
both conclusions and recommen-
dations are, in our view, fraud-
ulent."
Keating and his fellow dissen-
ters, the Rev. Morton A. Hill of
New York City and Winfrey C.
Link of Hermitage, Tenn., rec-
ommended federal laws against
smut, vigorous Justice Department
prosecution of offenders and state
film censorship boards across the
country.
The majority recommended re-

created by the mid-year gradua-
tion of hundreds of thousands of
college students, many holding
lower numbers than those already
called.
The time it takes to process such
men into 1-A status leaves them
unavailable for a draft call until
late in the year, and the Pentagon
has been unwililng to wait that
long for recruits.
The move leaves unsolved, how-
ever, a related fairness problem
- that of the men already ,draft-
ed to meet Pentagon needs be-.
cause the latecomers were not
available sooner.
The carryover men will tend to
benefit, the new manpower pool
facing next year's draft, while this
year's pool sends extra men in
their place. -
The carryovers will, in fact, be
drafted for 1971 calls evep before
the regular 1971 manpower pool
is touched. Their draft priority
will be second only to that of vol-
unteers during next January, Feb-
ruary and March.
Selective Service officials said
they have no estimate of how
many men will be carried over
Iwiththis three-month extended
liability, but Tarr said "relative-
ly small numbers" would be af-
fected.
'The move also leaves unsolved
the problems of when one man '
is drafted under extended liability
while another man in exactly sim-
ilar circumstances escapes extend-
ed liability - and military serv-
ice - because he is registered with
a different draft board which has
not reached his number.
Selective Service has placed a
ceiling of No. 195 nationwide this
year, meaning the more than 4,-
000 local boards may not call men
with higher numbers. But below
that ceiling the boards have reach-
ed widely varying upper numb-
ers.
Some have not yet called num-
bers higher than 170, a draft
spokesman said. A few are even
lower. .
Thus, a number such as 180
could mean extended liability for a
man whose draft b o a r d has
reached 180, but not for a man
whose board only reached 179.
The new regulations, contained
in an executive order signed 1 a s t
Saturday by President Nixon, also
clarified the induction of men
who have reached age 26.'
They may be inducted, the or-
der said, only if their draft lia-
bility extends to age 35. and if the
induction order is issued before
the 26th birthday.

CSJ trial
of SDS
continues
F By MARK DILLEN
Engineering Placement Com-
mittee and the Engineering Coun-
cil moved their case against Stu-
dents for a Democratic Society
(SDS) into its final stages be-
fore Central Student Judiciary
(CSJ) last night, preparing t h e
way for what SDS members say
will be a 'political' defense.
The trial results from charges
by the placement committee and
the council that SDS violated
Stucent Government Council
(SGC) rules during a Jan. 29
lock-in of a DuPont recruiter in
West Engineering Bldg.
SGC student conduct rules pro-
hibit "individual or mass a c t s
that destroy property or signifi-
cantly interfere with the free
movement of persons or things on
the campus," and, "intentional
disruption of a function by de-
priving needed quiet, light, heat,
or, other physical conditions of
work."
If found guilty, SDS faces a
maximum penalty of four months
suspension of its privileges as a
student organization and a $250
fine. In addition, three SDS mem-
bers-Richard Feldman, William
Sacks and, Jerome Goldberg, are
co-defendants in the case and
could be fined up to $50 if con-
victed.
Last night's testimony in the
three week-old tria, centered on
director of engineering placement
service John Young. Young cor-
roborated earlier testimony about
the demonstration, made to pro-
test policies of the DuPont cor-
poration, stating that a "noisy
group of 60 to 70 formed a block-
ade" in front of th office in
which the recruiter was interview-
ing.
Two students also testified that
the demonstration kept them from
their interviews.
"We just couldn't accomplish
the interview," said James War-
ner. "A mob of people outside
were shouting 'DuPont gets rich,
GI's die' outside the door and
others were pounding on the back
window."

BEDL.WRO start new sit-in;
seek church funds for poor

By CHRIS PARKS
Representatives of two 1 o c a 1'
groups who are seeking "money
for the 'county's poor from local
churches, began a sit-in yesterday
at the First Presbyterian Church.
The Black Economic Develop-
ment League (BEDL) and the
W e 1 f a r e Rights Organization
(WRO) are pressing demands for
$50.000 from the church as part

A delegation of five people began
a sit-in in the second floor foyer
yesterday afternoon until the
church's attorney read a state-
ment asserting the demonstrators
were in violation of a court in-
junction forbidding the disruption
of church services or business.
The group left the main office
at its 5 p.m. closing time, but
remained in the church,tclaiming
that mere occupation didn't con-
stitute disruption.
Later, the group moved to the
youth center in the church's base-
ment. At 10:30 last night the
church was locked up with the

But the main reason, said Bry-

it is the wealthiest church in the

New student aid

By SARA FITZGERALD
Economists are not the only ones con-
cerned with the impact of the United Auto
Workers strike this fall. Ngw, the Office
of Financial Aids is exploring the effects
the strike may have on the financial aid
requirements of University students.
"If prolonged, the strike may add to the
many factors leading to greater financial
need among students," said Ronald M.
Brown, director of the financial aids of-
fice.
"We have had a few students who have
come in and asked for an increase in aid
because of the strike." Daniel S.Roe

concerned" over the consequences of the
strike. "We have been meeting frequently
to discuss the possible effects of the
strike," he explained. "If we see the prob-
lem growing, we will take steps to secure
additional aid for students who require
it."
In general, the office applies the Col-
lege Scholastic Services Need Analysis
System to determine the extent of a stu-
dent's financial needs.
"In respect to students whose needs have
changed because of the strike,. our ap-
proach thus far has been to determine the
facts in each situation andi provide 4m-

eds seen
The office has had applications for aid
from approximately 5,000 students for this
year, Brown reported. "I think we have
done the best we could, but we have not
done as well as we would like," he added.
"So far," Brown continued, "we have
been able to meet the needs of most of
the applicants who, in our judgment, re-
quire financial assistance. However, there
are several hundred students who have
received some aid but who still have unmet
financial need."
A substantial amount of money remains,
Brown said, which is administered outside

S Although they say they won't
disrupt the church, group minm-
bers declare they will stay in the
church until either their demands
are met or they are forced out by
police action. Bryant said he hopes
that fear of the adverse publicity !
of forcible ejection of the group
by police may influence the
church to agree to the dlemands.
Seventeen local churches form-
ed a coalition last week with the
aim of distributing aid to the
county's poor, apparently in re-
sponse to BEDL-WRO demonstra-
tions. The organization-the In-
terfaith Coalition of Congregations
-has pledged to allow the /poor
to participate in the "study, deci-
