...widening shadow cast by the Vietnam war. Because of the war's expense, Bryant says, the President probably "doesn't want to introduce new programs that have to be financed in novo." It is not clear just what the Commission's report will recommend, but it is sure to call for big increases in federal expenditures on libraries. And Johnson gave this kind of expenditure a distant second priority in his Education message to Congress, so the immediate prospects for pushing federal construction of massive new research centers look thoroughly bleak...
...colleagues are left in a delicate position by the sluggish official progress of their recommendations. They are anxious to spread their view of the needs of American research libraries, but relucant to undercut the punch of the report by speculating what the Commission should say. The report may call for federally supported regional research centers, and Harvard would of course be a logical location for a New England center. But the legislation for such a project can't be considered until the Commission's report is released...
...plan. Advocated by President Pusey among others, this plan would draft men according to the percentages of the seven age groups in the total eligible pool. If, for example, 22-year-olds constituted ten per cent of the pool, they would fill that percentage of each month's draft call-oldest men within each group inducted first...
Without an extension of graduate deferments, a change in call became particularly important because oldest first would induct nearly all of this years able-bodied male college graduates and first-year graduate students. Johnson was well aware of the effects no change would have on the graduate schools. The American Council on Education, President Pusey, and other education officials had done a thorough job of informing him through personal meetings with Defense Secretary McNamara and Presidential aide Douglass Cater, public testimony before representative Edith Green's (D-Ore.) Special House Subcommittee on Education, and personal conversations behind the scenes...
Rivers is probably already getting pressure from his army friends to do something about a system that will deliver groups of inductees that are two-third college graduates. Apparently responding to pressure, Rivers last week publicly demanded to know why Johnson had not changed the order of call as all the study groups suggested. If anyone can push the bill through a reluctant election-year Congress, Rivers is the man, but even the possibility of his help is little cause for hope...
