Washington is facing another ser- ious problem in its prosecution of the” Viet Nam war. This is the inequities in the American conscription system,

“ which have given rise to mounting ‘protests from both the major political parties and are due, soon, for a

thorough tongressional~ airing: Phat—-~

Among leading opponents of~the -draft system during the past decade was Adlai Stevenson, who advocated its abolition in his 1956 presidential campaign. So, too, did Barry Gold- water in 1964. Milton Friedman, a leading conservative and University of Chicago economist; has argued that it would be more equitable “just to pay large enough salaries to attract the 3,000,000 soldiers we need,’ and Senator. “Edward Kennedy, a Mas- sachusetts Democrat, has proposed a national lottery, in which names of 18 and 19 year old youths who have
