FRIDAY, MAY 5. 1967 Founded February 23. 1893 w7 Senate Committee Asks Draft Extension i WASHINGTON (AP) A four-year extension of the military draft law with authority for a lottery-type system of selection was recommended to the Senate today. Chairman Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., said the Armed Services Committee unanimously approved the legislation, although some senators may propose amendments later in the Senate. The Senate Committee recommended: Induction of younger men first, starting at age 19. Retention of full authority for the more than 4,000 local draft boards to register, classify and induct. Continuation of student deferments for college students until they receive undergraduate degrees or reach 24 years of age. Permission for use of a lottery or random se lection system for inducting youths although the Sen ate panel questioned that this would end inequities or complaints. Key provisions of the present draft act expire June 30. Russell said he is confident that Congress can agree on extending legislation before then. Fulbright Fears Military, Industry GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) Newsday reported today that Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., has charged that some leading Vietnam war hawks in Congress represent areas with big defense plants and he fears the influence of the "military-industrial complex." Frank Lynn reported in a dispatch from Washing ton that Fulbright said in an interview that "he no longer believes statements on Vietnam by President Johnson, Secretary Rusk and Secretary McNamara." The report said Fulbright feels "Johnson is now determined to win a military victory in Vietnam, and, as a result, there is little chance for peace negotia tions." Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee, said that some businessmen and pos sibly even government officials view the conflict as "a nice little war, not too much killing, but still a big help to the economy," according to the report in the Long Island newspaper. Officials Dispute Invasion Threat In DMZ , WASHINGTON (AP) A strange and shadowy batr tie has been fought this week between faceless mili tary men and faceless diplomats over the degree of danger the United States faces because of Communist troop concentrations around Vietnam's demilitarized zone. The dispute has centered over the specific threat of a direct invasion of South Vietnam by tne forces of North Vietnam, striking through the boundary zone separating the countries. This has focused fresh atten tion on one of the most dangerous situations in Viet nam without determining exactly how dangerous it is. : Some observers thought they saw an effort on the part of military men to take issue with diplomats they regard as interfering in their business of defining stra tegic problems. Some thought anonymous diplomats were trying to present military facts in a way to in fluence the debate over political issues associated with the war, particularly the bombing of North Vietnam. ' Officials who are supposed to be familiar with the views of Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Secretary "of Defense Robert S. McNamara say they are in no disagreement that the zone between North and South' Vietnam is a troublesome hotspot which could become far more explosive, depending on what the Commu nists do.

It also asked the OEO for funds to carry a daily hour long program over local radio stations. "We want to demonstrate that many of the isola tion problems of rural poor people can be solved through mass communication written by and di rected specifically toward the poor," Ernest D. Eppley, director of WAMY said. : "We have found that poverty in rural areas is directly connected to ignorance and isolation, and that the existing media do not reach the rural poor, he said. at Dailii aar rrl World News BRIEFS By The Associated Press . .

Bob Powell, former student body president, said he has a rough draft copy of a letter drawn up by more than 100 student body presidents which will be sent to the President later this month. . The letter is thought to rei terate the concern expressed in the first letter over the President's alleged lack of con sideration of student feelings on the Vietnam war. Although the final form of the letter has not been deter mined, it may contain a pass age requesting the govern ment to "clarify" its goals in Southeast Asia in the interest of resolving domestic conflict within the United States over the war issue. Powell, who signed the first letter, indicated Thursday he will wait to see the final form of the second document be fore signing it. Al Lowenstein, who debated the war issue with a State Department official Wednes day night, commented that the second letter will "reflect the concern of the student leaders that the President is risking a great chasm with the gen eration of youths which has to fight this war." Lowenstein, who has been working closely with the 100 student leaders, also outlined plans for a movement to carry similar Vietnam "debates "off the campus into the communi ty level. He said plans were being made to send student volun teers into local communities across the nation in an effort to stimulate anti-war senti ment. In connection with this move is an attempt presently under way on several campuses to have all draft-eligible male On Show . ! I FV. f X : if -"f! n : 1.
