...service. They will not have automatic deferral, however, and instead of one standard rule from Washington, noted Senator Edward Kennedy, there will now be 4,000 rules laid down by the 4,000 different local boards. There is, however, one certainty as a result of last week's edict. Hundreds of thousands of men and their families-hitherto affected in only small ways-will soon feel the full dimensions of the war in Viet...
...average level of such expenditures in 1965 and 1966. In Latin America, Africa and Asia, investments will be held to 110% of the 1965-66 average without regard to the source of funds. Anxious not to deal the British pound another blow, the President in his edict allowed U.S. business investment in the U.K., Canada, Australia and oil-producing countries up to a maximum of 65% of the 1965-66 base period.

The Center must collect for every job done on its computers, and for what technical assistance it give those who use its facilities...
...effect of Hershey's edict is not limited to students actually inducted, nor even to students who obstruct army recruiters. Draft policy, as Gen. Hershey likes so frequently to point out, has a great deterrent impact on all men of draft age. Selective Service has made much of the 2-S deferment as an inducement to higher education. Presumably Gen. Hershey now sees his recent statement in a similar vein, as a means of discouraging student protest against the military...
