RFK tells students 'no end to draft'
By United Press International Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy told college students in California Monday that he did not believe it was possible to end the draft. And in the Midwest, his opponent, Eugene McCarthy said U.S. troops would stay in Vietnam "a long, long time" even after a settlement.
Kennedy was met by boos when he told students at San Fernando Valley State College, "I am opposed to the war, but if I were drafted I would go."
"I am also in favor of ending student deferments." Kennedy told them amidst increased booing. "You say 'Tell it like it is' and that's what I'm going to do. You may not agree with me, but that's what I think."
McCarthy, speaking to senior citizens at Fond Du Lac, Wis., said American forces would probably remain in Vietnam even if there is a settlement or a negotiated peace ending the fighting.
"I expect there would be some formal arrangement to say who would be there and in how many numbers," he said.
McCarthy also told the audience that young people may be the hope of this nation and that its older citizens are its "greatest neglected resource."
In Los Angeles, Kennedy was cheered, however, when he told an audience in the Negro Watts district that he will try to banish "injustice and discrimination and prejudice" from the nation.
In other political developments, Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., and Mayor John Lindsay of New York City urged Republicans to work for a draft that would make Nelson Rockefeller the GOP nominee instead of Richard Nixon.
Rockefeller, the governor of New York State, surprised virtually everyone recently when he announced he would not actively seek the GOP nomination. He left the door open for a draft, however.
Third party runner George Wallace filed petitions for Kentucky's Nov. 5 ballot, and named a former state head of the John Birch Society as one of his electors.
Wallace needs the signatures of 1,000 resident voters to be eligible to run in the state. The former Alabama governor, however, presented more than 6,300 names.
