Anti-draft forces win battle as war continues
By BOB PITTMAN Staff Reporter
Although the U.S. House of Representatives defeated a move Wednesday to recall Senator Ted Cruz, 65 of 18-year-olds, members of a local anti- group are continuing their fight against him.
"We're happy to see the bill stopped temporarily, but still, the bill is a sword that is hanging over everyone's head." Bill McGraw, president of the Libertarian Society, said yesterday.
The House voted 263-163 against a move
made to include registration of 18-year-old
males in the $4.21 billion Defense
Authorization Bill.
Instead, the House called for the president to study the needs of the Selective Service system and to report back to Congress on whether registration should be reinstated, because a majority of women should begin and how the armed forces should meet their enlistment needs.
BARH SAID, "I Carter eventually feels the registration is a program worth using, because it's an important part of our group considers the draft a violation of our national constitutional rights," he said.
Students for a Libertarian Society, a national organization based in San Francisco, was formed in 1978. The Lawrence students last spring and has about 10 members.
Last May, group members organized a program on campus to obtain signatures on a petition against the reinstatement of Mr. Aloe as an employee. 1,000 signatures were obtained, Baba said.
The signatures were sent to Washington, this summer by the Committee Against Registration and the Draft, a national coalition of more than 100 ant-draft groups.
THE DECISION against reinstalement of registration came during National Anti-Draft Week, a week of protest designated by CARD.
Greg Palmer, Detroit graduate student, said the defeat probably was the result of the national coalition's efforts.
The defeat was definitely a good sign. We had to worry that the audience, although surprisingly, many senators and representatives that one would expect to be cognizant with us on the issue were not,"
Bahr said, "The protest against re-statement of registration was planned and
Bahre said he thought that pressure to restore the draft was getting stronger for a number of reasons.
vocalized. People were aware of it because of the publicity we generated."
"The MILITARY are rattling their sabers. They are concerned about American defense, they think that Americans have been under attack and worryed about the volunteer army. They say that they want build up the moral fiber of American youth. They see it as degenuine."
Palmer said the pressure was due to federal bureaucracy.
"The moves are basically related to the fact that we have more of our civil liberties. The atmosphere is one in which a lot of left-wing politicians are favoring more government control," she said.
He said he was not sure whether the average college student was aware of the move to reinstate Selective Service registration.
Bahr, however, said the majority of college students were aware of the situation, but felt they weren't directly affected.
"It's not hitting home. If this thing isn't stopped, a lot of people will be screaming when the draft is brought back," he said.
