...most valid criticism of the draft as now operated is that it is inequitable. Of the nation's 2,200,000 physically fit men in the 18½-to-26-year-old bracket, only 120,000 get grabbed by the draft each year. Thousands of others volunteer, but the fact is that in the skimpy-quota peacetime era it requires little imagination to think up a reason to be deferred, e.g., as a student, a farmer, a scientist or a hardship case.

In addition to providing more housing in the lower-middle income bracket, the venture "will accomplish a real purpose by showing that building of this sort can be done here," John W. Teele, Planning Coordinator, stated yesterday...
...control might be needed to discourage any doctors from overcharging insured patients. As a start, it might prove most practical if state insurance covered any medical expenses which exceeded a certain percentage of a patient's income.
