Talmadge Doubts
Wisdom Ot Draft
Lottery System
ATLANTA (GPS)—Urging care
ful study of the administration’s
proposal for revisions in the Se
lective Service System, U. S. Ser-
Herman E. Talmadge declared
that “in any matter as important
as the draft, local control over its
operations should be preserved.”
His comments cn the subject
came in the latest of a monthly
sei e= of radio programs sponsor
ed by the Georgia Moose Associa
tion featuring his views cn state
and national issues.
Discussing the Selective Serv
ice System, Sen. Talmadge ex
pressed strong reservations about
the proposed lottery or random-
, selection system. Said he:
| “I personally have serious doubts
about rhe lottery system. Despite
all the trouble we are having with
. the administration of the draft at :
the local level, it is still much to be
preferred over a highly centraliz-1
.ed operation in Washington.
“There are many shortcomings
I and inequities in the administra
| tion of the draft. It is not always ;
operated on a basis that is com-
I pleteiy fair to everyone, and I
> doubt that it ever could be in a (
| nation as large and diverse as
; ours. Regardless of how it is op
; erated, it is bound to work hard
ships.
“No one likes to be told that i
he must serve :n the armed for- ■
ces. No one likes to lose valuable
j lime in the pursuit of his business ,
or professional career, and have

Also pa rents do not like to see |
their sons sent to battlefields such j
' as Vietnam.”
Sen. Talmadge expressed the j
hope “that some of the faults of |
the Selective Service System can j
be corrected, and I am sure that ■
the Congress will make every at- ■
tempt to do so. However, seme of i
the recommendations for charges j
' that have been made by the ad-;
’ ministration and the President’s i
Advisory Commission need to be
; very carefully studied.**
On another issue, he was se
verely critical of the Senate’s rati- .
fixation of the Consular Treaty i
with the Soviet Union without
first removing provisions for total
exemption i-om. all criminal pros-J
ecution of Soviet con rular office’s
arc employees. Terming ;t “a
: grieve u ; error,’’ Talmadge, who
'sponsored an unsuccessful amend-1
ment to strike this provision from
the treaty, asserted that the Sen
ate “set a dangerous precedent.’’
; Pointing out that the U. S. has,
; never granted complete diplomat- ■
is immunity to consular personnel,
he said “it is inconceivable to me
how we could single out the So
viet Union for special privileges
when we have never before
granted this immunity to even
our allies.”
, Sen. Talmadge said the effect
of the immunity provision was to
grant Soviet consular -personnel
j “carte blanche authority to rob
■ and steal and corxiuct far-flung
i espionage activities to heart's de
sire. And if we caught them at
J it, all we could do would be to ,
; bid them fond farewell and send
‘ them home.”
