Kinard, who manages Newberry’s local board, says the current Congressional im passe over extending the induc tion authority has created great uncertainly among area draft- age men. Mrs. Kinard continued, “Se lective Service Director Cur tis Tarr has recently stressed the importance of explaining to our draft-age men the high probability that draft calls will resume in the near future and that the current mipasse in the Congress is not likely to affect any registrant’s chance of be ing drafted.” “Our local board has been specificially instructed to con tinue to register and classify men, and to order for prein duction physical examinations those young men who may be needed to fill draft calls in the coming months,” Mrs. Kinard said. Men with lottery numbers through 125 were eligible for induction in June in order to The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, August 5, 1971—PAGE 3 fill draft calls. Since then, the Defense Department has asked Selective Service to draft 16,- 000 men in July-August. This request is being held by Selec tive Service headquarters pend ing final Congressional action on the draft bill, which is ex pected within several weeks. ‘Those young men with re latively low lottery numbers who are eligible for induction this year, particularly those with numbers below 175—the current processing ceiling—have a very good chance of being processed for induction after draft calls are restored,” Mrs. Kinard said. “Many young men,” said Mrs Kinard, “seem to think that the Selective Service Act has permanently expired and that they probably will never be drafted. Some of them also think that the entire system has stopped. They are wrong since it is only the induction authority that has expired. They, therefore, may be unin tentionally breaking the law by failing to register at age 18, by not keeping their local boards informed of their cur rent address, or by failing to report, if ordered, for their preinduction physical examina tions.” Mrs. Kinard also stressed that local boards are continuing to consider CO, hardship, and stu dent deferments and to take other classifications actions. “Young men who had planned to submit requests for defer ments or exemptions are en couraged to do so,” Mrs. Ki nard said. “The expiration of the induction authority does not affect our responsibility to clas sify young men,” Mrs. Kinard added. Mrs. Kinard may be contact ed at 1227 McKibben Street, the office of local board No. 36. Fretwell on naval cruise shipman Burlington A. Fretwell, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. B. A.
