Kinscherff said that some men were considering enlisting instead of waiting to be drafted. Men with pending induction orders can enlist for active duty, but can't join the Reserves or National Guard...
Lieut. Colonel Anthony B. Herbert wanted to be a soldier so badly that he ran away at age 14 to enlist. He was caught and sent home, but except for time out to finish high school and earn a college degree, he has been a soldier ever since. And no ordinary soldier. The most decorated enlisted man of the Korean War, he toured the U.S. and Allied capitals as the Army's symbol of the Perfect Fighting Man.

As Washington's man at last week's Persian Empire gala in Iran (see story, page 32), Spiro Agnew had a handy excuse to make stops in Ankara, Teheran and Athens to press for their support...
