Asks for Change WASHINGTON UPI — The Defense Department r e c o mmended Thursday that draft machinerybe overhauled to take younger men first, but it turned aside proposals for a Selective Service lottery. In a long-awaited report to Congress, the Pentagon said there was little hope of ending the draft for at least 10 years, but that changes were needed to put emphasis on the 19 and 20-year-olds. The report, ordered by President Johnson in 1964 and completed in 1965, was presented to the House Armed Services Committee by Assistant Defense Secretary Thomas D. Morris, the Pentagon’s manpower authority. Committee reaction to the'

study varied. Chairman L. Mendel Rivers, D-S.C., praised the report. But Rep. Otis Pike, DN.T., said it did not go into the most frequently heard complaint—that because of the absence of national guidelines, “people are not treated .equally by draft boards across the country.” The report did not mention a draft lottery, but Morris, in a reply to Rep. Edward Hebert, D-La., confirmed that the idea had been considered. The major conclusion reached by the Pentagon study was that present policy should be reversed so that men 19 and 20 years old should be called first. Now, older men are called first to obtain their service before they reach the cutoff age of 26. “Looking to the future,” Morris said, “the draft selection system should be redesigned to concentrate military service among the younger age classes —and older students when they leave school—when force levels are reduced and stabilized.” Morris was speaking of the time when the armed forces could cut back from the Viet Nam War buildup of 3.1 million men to their normal authorization of 2.7 million. To get the younger men first, Morris suggested this plan: All men would continue to be classified by local boards and present deferment rules would stay in effect. But in any one year, men drafted from the 1A pool would be taken from a “priority category” consisting mainly of those 19 and 20 years

old.

Deferments still would be granted for completing college, but afterward those who obtained them “would have equal exposure along wtih the 19 or 20-year-olds of that year.” Mother Drowns Children 2nd Time FAIRFIELD, Maine UPI — On March 8, 1954, Carl Fisher returned home from work to discover his three small children had been drowned by his wife. A psychiatrist declared the woman insane. Five years later, when she was released from a mental hospital, the Fishers began raising a family again. Three other children were born. Fisher returned home from his same railroad job Thursday to find that they had also been drowned. The circumstances appeared strikingly similar to those of 12 years ago. Once again, Fisher’s wife Constance has been charged with murder. The 37-year-old woman, found unconscious from an apparent overdose of drugs, was hospitalized under police guard. She was described in good condition, and a policeman at the hospital said the woman told him: "My children are in heaven and Jesus will take care of me.” Police said that when Mrs. Fisher drowned her three children in 1954 she tried then to take her life, and left a note which said: “God told me it was the only way to save them. They are in heaven safe from evil forever . . . maybe you don’t think I love them but I did, and I love you.” When Fisher entered his bungalow home Thursday, he found his 9-month-old daughter Nathalie Rose lying face down in a tub filled with about an inch and a half of water. He ran to a neighbor’s home to ask aid. Then returned home to find the bodies of Kathleen Louise, 6, and Michael Jon, 4, tucked beneath a blanket in

bed.

In another bed, was the unconscious form of Fisher’s wife. Police said a note was also found but refused to divulge its contents. Fisher, who works at the Maine Central Railroad Co. shop in Waterville lived in that nearby Industry community in 1954. He then found the body of his son, Richard, 6, in a tub and those of Daniel, 4, and Deborah, 11 months, in bed. Funeral services for the Fisher children are scheduled Saturday. The Fishers had no other children.

Dillon Rules On Certification Fees INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Atty. Gen. John J. Dillon said Thursday that county clerks and justices of the peace may not keep a 25 cent certification fee collected from convicted motorists. Since 1957, the fee has been turned over to counties and townships to cover the cost of certifying conviction abstracts to the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles. But before that, the money went into the pockets of the clerks and justices under terms of an old law. Dillon acknowledged that the 1965 Legislature enacted a law providing for a 50-cent increase and picked up language from the older law which entitled the clerks and justices to keep the 25-cent fee. However, legislators who sponsored the bill last year said it was not their intent to divert the quarters from government treasuries to officials’ pockets, and Dillon confirmed this by ruling that the latest law did not re-enact the fee system for public officials. Georgia Racial Violence Tense OORDELE, Ga. UPI — This racially tense town in south Georgia had the appearance early today of a wartime occupation zone with deserted streets, a strict curfew and police patrols. Travel in the town, from dusk to dawn, was restricted to motorists passing through on highways. The 10,000 citizens of Cordele were confined to their homes from 8 p. m. EST until 5 a. m. under an emergency curfew imposed Wednesday by the city commission following three straight nights of racial vio-

lence.

The climax was a 90-minute bloodless shootout between white and Negroes Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Negro leader James Burch said the ban would be observed for the present, but he said demonstrations involving about 200 persons were planned for Sunday and Monday, Independence Day, at the nearby Veteran’s Stote Park. He said he would request protection from city police and state troopers for the demonstrations.

A local Teenager's View By JANET STAUB Pet is defined as (1) an animal kept as a favorite and treated with affection. (2) yield to the wishes of; stroke, pat; touch lovingly and gently. When this word was originally defined, maybe dogs, cats and other small animals were the only ones kept for pets. But today, with pets ranging from fleas to elephants, stroking or touching them lovingly may be a task to be undertaken only when a fence is nearby. Some people say that they would never want a pet but after they have once had one they realize that nothing is bet-

ter.

The black spot in the mind of any pet owner is losing them. The pet may wander off on its own, or be encouraged by outside help. Residents of Greencastle have a very good resource to tap when in need of assistance in finding a lost pet. That is the radio station WXTAFM. The station doesn’t hesitate a moment in announcing a lost pet. The police are always glad to keep an eye out for the animal as they go out on their beats. Advertisements are seen daily in the newspapers telling of pets that have wandered. BY THE WAY — Most of the flowers people planted in the
