SELECTIVE SERVICE
GOPs ask draft study
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A group of House Republicans, citing what they termed "mounting evidence of gross inefficiency," today called for a congressional investigation of the Selective Service System.
"The search to provide manpower to fight the war in Viet Nam should be equitable and efficient. We are concerned that it is neither," the 30 GOP representatives said in a statement issued in advance of a news conference.
THE REPUBLICANS cited several points they said warranted an investigation. Among them:
- The administration of the draft is inefficient. The papers of thousands of men are bottled up in "the bureaucratic pipeline."
- Nearly 445,000 physically and mentally qualified men will be available through June 30. Why then, they ask, is it necessary to re-examine previously disqualified men, a step draft director Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey recently announced.
- "THERE DOES not appear to be a clear order of priority in which the administration is considering calling the various manpower groups for service."
- Tests designed to aid local draft boards in deciding whether a college student should receive a deferment are—by the admission of Hershey—easier for science students than those taking liberal arts courses.
closed that the services were employing about 9,000 enlisted men in such non-military activities as clerking in supermarkets and bowling alleys and tending bar and waiting on tables in officers' clubs.
- A RECENT report by the General Accounting Office dis-
"It is ridiculous for the Department of Defense to insist upon drafting young men to be hurried into combat when it is not making maximum efficient use of the trained personnel it already has," the GOP statement said.
