Labor Head For
"Absolutely
Fair" Selection
Washington, D.C.—Secre
tary of Labor W. Willard
Wirtz calledifor an "abso
lutely fair" military draft
that the young
est men Qualified for ser
vice.
"1 support a method of se
lection for military service,"
he said, "that is FAlß—as
fair to the sons of economi- |
cally and politically weaker
parents as to the sons of
parents with more immediate j
influence."
Mr. Wirtz, testifying before
the Senate Subcommittee on
employment, Manpower and
Poverty, said the military
service system must also
include provisions for meet
ing a wide range of needs
of young men.
Discussing the effects of
the Selective Service Sys
tem on American youth, the
Secretary recommended as
a "sound" selective and
military service policy five
"essential elem.ents":
*That the draft call be made
on the youngest men con

19-year-Qlc} group),
♦That theiSjs no justifica

stances, especially in view
of the prospective shift to
a 19-year-age group induct
ion priority, for "occupa
tional deferments."
♦That any young man called
for military service and
found unqualified because
of a remediable inadequacy
be given whatever training
or treatment is required to
make him qualified.
♦That there be greater em
phasis in military service
on training which prepares
the iftdividual for both mili
tary and civilian usefulness.
♦That there be procedures
which assure the ex-service
men adequate civilian train

Nothing that many em
ployers are skeptical about
hiring draft-age youth, Mr.
Wirtz said:
"The induction of young
men at age 19 would not
only limit their 'period of
uncertainty,' but, in addit-

Ends 4 Years
Litigation
MONTGOMERY - Alabama
this week became the first
southern state ordered by a
federal court to desegregate
all its public school dis
tricts. The court ordered
99 school districts to end
segregation by next fall.
This unprecedented act
ion of the three judge fe
deral court came in response
to four years of litigation
by attorneys of the NAACP
Legal Defense and Educa
tional Fund, Inc. (LDF).
Alabama Gov. Lurleen B.
Wallace, State School Su
perintendent Ernest Stone
and 10 other state officials
were directed by the U.S.
District Court in Mont
gomery to "take affirmative
action to disestablish all
state-enforced or encou
raged public segregation."
They were also told to
"eliminate the effects of
past...discrimination."
LDF * Director Counsel
Jack Greenberg called the
decision, "an important
step in closing the doors
to evasion of the Consti
tution and the desegrega
tion guidelines of the De
partment of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare.
