End to Draft Predicted
By RICHARD LARIMORE
Kansan Staff Writer
An end to the national draft was predicted by Fred Lord, travelling speaker for the council for the Draft (NCRD) in a discussion held Friday afternoon in the Kansas Union. About 30 persons attended Lord's talk titled "What Country" and What to do about it.
Lord is a former naval officer and was an insurance executive prior to devoting his energies to NCRD activities. His visit to the University was sponsored by the United Nations and the Lawrence Peace Center.

Speaking of the possibility of an all-veteran army, Lord said he would have to organize it in the future, but not noted that "in the long run, it will be more expensive to his armies than to ours." He said the current Congress was probably not of a mind to increase the budget of Department of War.

power would succeed, but only a 25 per cent chance for total repeal.
During his talk, Lord threw verbal punches at various public figures including Ted Kennedy and Eric Hartmann, the "liberal bag." He said Kennedy had been on the inside too long and really be scared of freedom."
Throughout his talk Lord stressed "old fashioned lobbying" as the best direct action

for persons opposed to the draft.
He suggested that citizens could effectively stop the draft by making them pay for telegrams to their congressmen.
The Rev. Otto Zingg, of the United Ministries, said he planned to have postcards and stamps available this week at a table in the Union for those who can write their congressmen.
The high point of Lord's midwestern speaking tour came, he said, when a schoolgirl in Akron, Ohio, gave him a hand-written card which said, "Draft My Brothers, I Love You." The words felt feelings about the draft were summed up by the girl's card.
