Candidate Porter Speaks, Blasts Present Draft Laws By CINDY (1LA880W Kinrrxlcl SUIT Wrltrr Charles Porter, Democratic can didate for the Fourth District Congress seat, spoke Thursday night on the draft question. Porter based his talk on the premise “that draft laws are un fair; they arc constructed on the idea of a large army and com pulsory service.” The Democratic hopeful said that the need for this type of mil itary is now outmoded and pro posed several changes that would update the draft system. His first reform would be to do away with the draft altogether except In time of national emer gency. Porter stressed that "a person should fight for his country, but that active military service for many is needless unless the coun try is involved in a national emergency. "A smaller, more elite armed force would benefit the U.S.” is another proposal of Porter’s. He suggested more pay and better means of compensation to at tract the better-qualified. Porter also suggested a change in military academy appointments in order that a higher caliber of students would attend such institutions. Porter stated that a federally set-up, state-supervised military system would be most efficient. It would provide a decentralized and more organized means for defense. “The program would include one or two years of training and then up to six years reserve serv ice for each individual. The train ing, which would be geared to each individual’s talent, would be done on a part-time basis.” The reserve system would fulfill the U.S.’s need for more civil de fense, Porter indicated.
