Wheeler Scores
Draft

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 QNS)
Senator Wheeler Cd of Mon
tana charged today that failure
of House and Senate conferees to
agree on the revised draft act was
forcing thousands of fathers into
the armed services daily.
Unless the conference com
mittee can agree soon, there
won't he any need for revising
the draft law to take all single
men first" Wheeler said.
Wheeler said that the present
procedure of inducing fathers in
some areas while childless men
remain available in others was
undermining the entire selective
service system.
