1. f ..I a b e n v Draft WASHINGTON (AP) The National Commission on Selec tive Service will present a volumious study .of the draft to President Johnson within two weeks, sources said Friday. The commission had been ordered to report by Jan. 1. "We are late but I'm not embarrassed," one official said. "We've been looking over the issues pretty carefully." Many of the commission's key decisions were reached during meetings in Decem ber and early January, this informant said, but the actual writing of the report was de layed. "Several of the commission members said 'Let's go over this or that again;" this source said. "We've been tossing these things back and forth. "We've done what we think is a good job." Johnson set up the 20-mem-ber commission last summer in the wake of increasing student protests and growing dissat isfaction with the draft. He named Burke Marshall, former Justice Department official, as director and ordered the com mission to make an exhaus tive study of the Selective Service. Johnson already has made it clear he believes the law needs changing. He told Con gress in his State of the Union Craige Residence College conu bo party tonight featuring "The Sultans Seven."

After he receives the com mission's report, the President told the legislators, "I will send you new recommendat ions to meet our military man power needs, but let us re solve that this is to be the congress that made our draft laws as fair and as effective as possible." Sources said the commiss ion, in meetings last year, quickly ruled out any radical changes in the present system such as the proposed alter natives of a standing profes sional army or a widespread national service program. The report is known, how ever, to call for an extensive shakeup of the draft system and for the setting up of na tional standards for students and other deferments to reduce inequities But just what else will be re commended is not known . There have been reports that some form of a modified lot tery will be proposed. Sourc es indicated that if the com mission does make such a re commendations, the proposed lottery would be modest in scope involving only those youths classified 1 A.

THE DAILY On Bra fit And It's Opposition said. Secretary of Defense Rob ert S. McNamara told Con gress last week in his annual defense posture statement that draft calls over the next 18 months will continue strong. He said that about 17,000 youths will be inducted each month through this June, and about 24,000 will be drafted monthly in the following 12 , months. Draft calls reached a high nearly 41,000 a month in the August - through - Novem ber period last year. Since the Vietnam buildup began late in 1964, about 650,000 youths have been inducted into the armed services. Car Ban To Get Strict Enforcement The Dean of Men's Office Thursday announced a stiffen ing of car regulations regard ing ineligible students living off campus ; "Next year, students who are ineligible to own or oper ate a car here at the Univer sity will not be able to have one by virtue of living off cam pus unless they can show that they could not find available housing on campus, or within a twenty minute walk," said Alonzo Squires, the dean's aide in traffic matters. . This has always been the rule, Squires said, but it has not been strictly enforced since the housing shortage previously forced both eligible and ineligible students to seek offc-ampus accommodations. The addition of Granville Towers has alleviated the shortage though, Squires said, and the rule will be "strictly enforced" beginning in the fall.

The justices already have agreed to decide how far de monstrators may go in prac ticing "civil disobedience," and they soon will have to make other hard decisions in volving the war's unpopular ity among certain segments of the nation's youth. Three separate appeals now at the court's doorstep, awaiting invitation to be heard, challenge the government's right to imprison draft card burners and the legality of the draft and the war itself If four of the nine justic es give assent, the Vietnam war will, in effect, be tried by the Supreme Court. Major figures in the unfold ing drama are: David J. Miller, 24, self-described Roman Catholic paci fist convicted of setting fire to his draft classification no tice near the Army's induc tion center in downtown New York. David Henry Mitchell III, 24 - year - old Greenwich Vil 0) 0 resent Inventory Of Lien's ain Goats, ItortTime.

Howard Katz, 29, stock mar ket analyst, and David A- Bau mann, 20, now serving with the army in Korea, who have been blocked in lower court from challenging the draft law's constitutionality. The legal positions of these four young men are diverse. Miller, backed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, has said he is willing to go to jail rather than obtain a new draft card. He directly attacks the 1965 law that pro hibits draft card burning, claiming its purpose is to sup press dissent. None of the three others claims pacifism. And none claims that he is a conscien tious objector. The slender, soft - spoken Mitchell says he has a mor al and legal duty under the international charter which governed the trial of Nazi leaders after World War II to refuse to cooperate with t h e draft.

Under the constitution, the Mitchell appeal says, Congress not the President has the power to declare war. The brief goes on to question whe ther the President may legal ly "send the armed forces of the United States outside the continental limits ... if such action is in violation of . . . treaties and constitutional pro visions."
