Draft— Such problems are related to a "new view of the military commit ment,” he said. ‘‘Basically, they changed the approach in recruiting of person nel for the service," says Gen. David C. Jones, Air Force chief of staff. “We've moved away from the normative values of a calling of profession embodied in the words of duty, honor and country,' to ward an appeal based on monet ary compensation and the values of the marketplace.” The House Armed Services Committee also met in February 1978 to discuss military posture Committee members and defense department representatives dis cussed a 1977 report proposing a wartime draft system, which sug gested that substantial improve ments presently are needed in the Selective Service. Selective Service staff con cluded in 1977 that such im provements could be made with out additional resources or peacetime registration. But staf fers added that extra resources would be needed to meet the de mands of a national emergency. (Continued from Page 1) The present capability for a war time draft is considered unsatis factory by the defense depart ment, the report said. Thus, detailed peacetime plan ning and preparation are essen tial, it stated. "Peacetime publicity will serve to raise public con sciousness of the liability of each citizen to serve in wartime,” it added. The basic wartime draft system, the report continued, is not suita ble for peacetime, but it is possible to implement such a system "in crementally in a pre-mobilization situation to demonstrate to a po tential adversary increasing stages of resolve and readiness." The report also said deferment from a draft could be granted in special cases, but that the gov ernment would use very strict guidelines in order to maintain and project the image of equity. Though the report at one point said a peacetime draft was not desirable, it offered one alterna tive which suggested peacetime draft registration of 20-year-okJ women and men. Draft registra tion is a precautionary alternative. differing from actual induction, the report held. Earlier this fall, in discussing the funding level of the Selective Ser vice, many members of Congress expressed support for universal compulsory service, draft registra tion for women and the induction of doctors. In addition, the Congressional Budget Office has recommended that the age for draft registration be lowered to 16. CCCO members say they have found that an increasing number of young people are concerned about the possible return of draft registration. In light of recent discussion of reinstatement of draft registration, the organization suggests that all young people—women and men—begin thinking about what they would do if faced with that possibility. CCCO awaits the release of a December defense department report, which will evaluate the all volunteer force. Members say they expect the study's conclu sions will spark debate in Con gress next year over reinstate ment of the draft. Bond study will receive $56,000 The major U S. trade association representing security deal ers and brokers, the Security Industry Association, has awarded $56,000 to the University’s Center for Capital Market Research for a study of a controversial topic in the world of finance. The project will explore the impact of allowing U S. commer cial banks to underwrite newly issued municipal revenue bonds, according to George Kaufman, director of the center. Kaufman said commencal banks have been prohibited from underwriting revenue bonds since the 1930s. However, he said state and local governments are issuing the bonds with increas ing frequency and bills to lift the restriction have been introduced in recent Congressional sessions with the hope of reducing in terest costs to issuers. Opponents of the proposed procedure have argued that bank underwriting would increase the power of commercial banks without reducing interest rates, Kaufman said, noting that Con gress has delayed action on the issue until additional evidence is presented. The UO study is scheduled for completion in the spring of 1979. Directing the project with Kaufman will be G.O. Bierwag, associate directa of the Center fa Capital Market Research, and Michael Hopewell, a professa in the College of Business Ad ministration and the department of economics.
