POLL PREDICTS DRAFTS IMPACT
By MELINDA TONKS Assistant Night Editor
The Graduate School can expect to lose about 165 first-year students to the draft, reports a survey conducted by Robert Jones, director of the Testing Bureau.
This statistic was revealed as part of a report made by the Council on Selective Service Impact on Graduate Enrollments, headed by Dr. Allred Ingersoll. dean of the School of Engineering, to Dr. Milton Kloetzel, dean of the Graduate School.
The survey was conducted in two parts, one dealing with first-year graduates enrolled in the Graduate School and the other dealing with students
who graduated in January.
Of the sample taken, Jones estimated that losses among first-year graduate students would be about 220 men.
“I would then say about one quarter would fail the physical, Jones said. “In Southern California. 50.2 percent fail because they have come here to
cure respiratory defects.”
This would leave about 165 men draftable, if the Selective Service were
to draft all of them.
The statistics were derived from questionnaires sent to first-year graduate students asking whether the students would continue next fall if the Selective Service intervened.
‘‘Of the 286 women who were polled, 179 replied, of which 126 said they would continue another year. This would be important to the total enrollment
because, let’s say, if the husband is drafted, the wife will go with him,” Jones said.
Out of 777 men sent questionnaires, 457 replied with 72 stating they would not return in the fall. The remainder said they would return if the Selective Service does not interfere.
Of those considered vulnerable, nine had 1-A status, six were not classified or did not reveal their classification, and 119 were 2-S.
Forty-one were considered safe because they were either on active duty, in the ROTC or in the reserves.
A telephone survey was conducted among those who did not respond and indications showed a parallel with those who did respond.
The second phase dealt with the plans of seniors graduating in June. It was estimated through a survey taken of January graduates.
“We called 124 women and of the 66 we talked to, 46 planned to go on to graduate school,” Jones said.
‘The survey among men was less successful than the one in phase one. Thirty queries were returned undeliverable, while 160 were unanswered.
“Of the 122 who replied, 73 said they would continue at USC. Of these, “8 were classified 2-S and nine 1-A. On a phone survey of some of those who did not reply, 45 were 2-S and 14 were 1-A, but there were many cross classifications,” he said.
“It's difficult to project in regards to the national draft pool that consists of I1--million men. At current levels, from 400.000 to 500,000 men would
be taken, or approximately one-third of the men in the pool,” Jones said.
‘‘But the military doesn't want companies of graduate students. Thers will probably be a certain quota of older and younger men.
It is on this basis that the losses next year could be at worst 500 men out of 2,500 full-time graduate students. This would be a projection of the surveys. Then with one-fourth failing the physical, the number would be reduced to 375,” he said.
“Other factors that might also have an effect on the Graduate School enrollment include the tuition increase, where enrollment always dips slightly, or the tendency to have an increase after a successful athletic season,” Jones said.
Also in the report were two earlier surveys, one by Jones and one by Registrar William Hall, which supported Jones’ most recent conclusions.
The council also recommended that the university counter the impact of the Selective Service with a seven point-program, already used by the Graduate School of Business Administration.
They include: (1) putting a drive on doctoral students, (2) advertising graduate programs through educational advisers at western military bases,
(3)	recruiting part-time graduate students who have occupational deferments.
(4)	increasing undergraduate enrollments to balance graduate deficiencies,
(5)	recruiting actively throughout all western business schools not having graduate programs, (6) working with ROTC to institute new programs and (7) working up active military programs essential to the war effort.

William Kirstein speaks to fraternity
Nazi advocates total white rule
By NANCY FERLITO
William Kirstein could have been mistaken for one of the brothers as he sat down to dinner at the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house last night. The correct sports coat, button-down collar and boyish smile fit the Monday night meeting, except that on Kirstein’s lapel was not the usual fraternal insignia, but a gold-plated swastika.
And for an hour Kirstein did not discuss Greek Week, but the international Jewish-Communist conspiracy, the American Nazi Party's goal of total and absolute geographic separation of the races and white power.
‘‘There are facts too fantastic to believe about the Jewi?h involvement in the Russian Bolshevik revolution,” he said.
“The nature of communism in the Bolshevik movement is Jewish.”
He cited an Army report from the U.S. National Archives that was written after the Soviet revolt. It stated that there were over 300 Jews in government positions after the Communists took over. Kirstein said that this explains why Hitler was anti-Semitic. He wrote “Mein Kampf” after investigating the political leaders of the left and their thought processes. The German Nazi went to the ghettos in Vienna to debate and argue the Communist position.
“Hitler became anti-Jewish simply because he understood the Jewish mind and thought processes,” he said.
“To say that one loves the Jews and hates communism is as if saying that you love to swim but hate to get wet.” Kirstein claims to have gained an insight, too. into the Jewish mind by publications and the writings of the lats George Lincoln Rockwell.
“I wanted to get the truth, not some lies from perverted history books,” he said.
The American Nazi Party, which is changing its name to the National Socialist White People s Party, has been stifled in exercising its freedom of speech because of the opposition it has encountered when trying to hold a rally, Kirstein said. He anticipates that the Nazi Party will become a world-wide organization, restricted to only white-dominated countries.
“The Aryan nations must stop fratricidal wars and promote white interests," he said. “We need to protect the Aryan race. We plan on forming a type of NATO alliance among the Aryan nations to look out for white interest.”
Kirstein, a lieutenant in the party, revealed the “shocking fact” that the white race is outnumbered ten to one internationally, and that in 20 years it will be outnumbered 49 to 1.
“Unless we stop our insane policies. we will see the white race go down under in 20 years. It will be the death of the white race.”
In Kirstein’s definition, Jews were not part of the white race, but left-wing, liberal race-mixers.

Brooke hits LBJ silence; asks $30-billion on riots
By STAN METZLER Editor
Sen. Edward Brooketold a largely-Republican audience last night that the “nonreaction of the White House" to the Riot Commission report has been the group's most frustrating disappointment.
Moments later he called upon a gathering of Trojan business supporters to spend $30-billion a year to implement the commission's recommendations.
The many-pronged comments by Sen. Brooke, a Negro Republican from Massachusetts and a member of the 11-man President’s Commission on Civil Disorders, were given as the views of a concerned man addressing the closing banquet of the School of Business Administration’s Institute on Finance at the Ambassador Hotel.
“Taken together, these conclusions and recommendations point to the priorities which should command America’s attention for the coming generation,” he began his talk.
“These conclusions and recommendations were not delivered by Negro militants haranguing a crowd from a makeshift platform.
“On the contrary, this report was prepared by individuals wrho represent the mainstream of American society, individuals who have every reason to be satisfied with that society.
“It is honest self-criticism by the ins, not a tirade by the outs; as such, it is psychologically difficult to ignore.”
Legislator speaks out on the war
The United States has lost its senses on the war in Vietnam, California Congressman John Tunney implied at a gathering of Trojan political scientists late last week, and it may be in danger of losing “the great democratic ideals that have meant so much to this country.”
Speaking at Pi Sigma Alpha’s annual awards banquet last Thursday night, the young congressman, a Democrat from Riverside County, charged the current administration with misunderstanding the war in Vietnam.
It is a revolutionary war,” he explained, “not a war of aggression, not a civil war in traditional terms.”
Admitting that he understands what the administration means when it says we are in Vietnam to fight communism, he agreed that the stated goals are laudable.
“But the people there apparently don’t care,” he said.
“The problem is that we can't fight their war for them, and I don’t think we would win a military victory if we had a million men.”
“The problem is that we can’t fight their war for them, and I don’t think we would win a military victory if we had a million men.”
Tunny said that although 60,000 Hanoi troops are now fighting in the south, another 300,000 enemy troops are native to that land.
And w'hile he estimated that the Communists would pull only 15 to 20 percent of the vote in an open South Vietnam election, he charged that their own government is also very unpopular.
Brooke continued his talk before the distinguished gathering of USC friends and supporters with an account of the encouraging signs of acceptance he has seen in Congress, within city governments and in the private scctor.
“But unfortunately, there are discouraging signs as well/’ he noted.
“The most frustrating disappointment has been the reaction or, to be more accurate, the nonreaction of the White House.”
Calling for strong, energetic and imaginative leadership to meet the crisis outlined in the report. Sen. Brooke appeared dismayed by the two weeks of silence since its issue.
“With the exception of a few words of thanks for the labors of individual commissioners. America is still defended by the President's silence," he said.
“This is not casual reading for the President to examine when time permits, or when items of greater priority have been treated.
“As the commission reported: ‘There can be no greater priority for national action and no higher claim on the nation's conscience.’
“I commend this to the President, for without his commitment and leadership the cause is lost.”
Sen. Brooke then revealed that although they were not released, the commission prepared partial estimates for cost of the efforts it recommended.
“They were not published because we thought the substantive merit of the proposal should be
considered initially without the distractions of an argument over dollars and cents." he said.
“But it is not unreasonable to believe that they could involve the annual expenditure of sums approaching our current investment in the Vietnam conflict, on the order of $30-billion.
“The difference is that many of these efforts are true investments and, within the foreseeable future, will return an ample profit to the society in terms of increased output, expanded tax base and the individual happiness we value so highly.” The senator also advocated the immediate enactment of such free programs as fair housing, equal opportunity in unions and many educational reforms, but noted that any real headway will require a trimming of "nonessenti?! domestic spending in favor of the more compelling items on our agenda.”
In this light he called for an income tax surcharge of 10 percent, cutbacks on the supersonic transport and space programs, reduction of current expenses on agricultural subsidies and individual efforts to reverse the gold flow.
Placing the final riot blame on militants “who hope for inaction by the moderatoes.” and do-nothings “who hope responsive social action will never come,” Sen. Brooke said each citizen should realize the consequences of not ending the civil disorders.
“We must ask ourselves,” he explained, “if we wish to leave these problems to our children or begin to deal with them ourselves.”
