...near Mayor Daley's home, Gregory is challenging the police claim that they had a right to disperse peaceful protesters simply because angry hecklers near by might have become violent. Among the draft-dissent cases, the most important is an appeal from James Oestereich, who was reclassified from 4D (divinity student) to 1A by his draft board last year after he turned his draft card in to the Justice Department. At least 18 other suits that question the Selective Service System's power to use the draft as punishment for antiwar activities are currently pending in federal courts...
...last week carried AK-47 automatic rifles and satchel charges. The men penetrated the northern edge of the base at a point where there was no fence. Thai guards responsible for base security flashed the alarm. By that time, however, the intruders had already damaged two planes, an F-4D Phantom fighter bomber and a C-141 jet transport fitted for medical evacuation. In the confusing half-hour firefight that ensued, a Thai guard was killed and four Americans were wounded, one critically. Two guerrillas were killed and two were captured.

From Udorn, just 40 minutes by air from Hanoi, supersonic, unarmed RF-101 and RF-4C reconnaissance jets streak into target areas immediately before and after a raid to click pictures. From Korat, Takhli and Ubon come the F-105 Thunderchiefs and F-4C and F-4D Phantoms that actually deliver the bombs. From U-Tapao airfield in the Gulf of Siam, the largest jet field in Southeast Asia, four-engine KC-135 refueling tankers take to the air and gas up the bombers just before and after they hit the North. From Takhli...
Ever since conscription was adopted by the U.S. during the Civil War, ministers, priests and seminarians have been automatically exempt from military draft. Today, 101,500 men are classified as 4D- exempt as ordained clerics or seminarians. President Johnson's proposed new selective service law, while tightening up on other categories of exemptions, maintains the clerical exception. Nonetheless, the ministry's draft immunity has recently come under attack-chiefly by churchmen themselves...
