straining Mont Belvieu from
taking over the water district's

ordinance adopted on Aug. 17.
The district will ask the dis-

tempted to adopt the provisions

Effects
On War
Debated
WASHINGTON (AP) — De-
feat of a plan to maintain an
all-volunteer army virtually
guarantees extension of the
(fraft, but the resulting pressure
could quicken U,S withdrawal
from Vietnam, senators say.
Chairman John Stennis, D-
Miss., of the Armed Services
Committee, who opposed the
all-volunteer plan, said the de-
feat ' ‘will make it simpler to get
the draft extended.”
“The draft didn’t get us into
Vietnam, but it may get us
out,” commented Sen. Jacob
Javits, R-N.Y., who opposes the
war but also fought the volun-
teer plan.
The Senate defeated 52-35
Tuesday the plan to raise sol-
diers' pay to a level that would
make military life more attrac-
tive and possibly eliminate the
need of the draft.
“I feel the Senate took a very
long step today toward commit-
ting the country toward the ex-
tension of the draft,” said Sen.
Mark O. Hatfield. R-Ore., who
co-sponsored the amendment
with Sen. Barry M Goldwa-
ter, R-Ariz.
“We face a June 30, 1971, Se-
lective Service expiration date
and if we do not have by that
time soma alternative plan, it's
very obvious the administra-
tion and the Congress will be
forced into the role of extend-

mendable response, they

their former comrades-in-
arms, Vietnamese as well as

English and was signed by the
prime minister and the di-
rector general for Administra-
tion.

Javits and Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy, D-Mass., who oppose
the war and have spoken out
against what they consider ineq-
uities in the draft system, voted
against the amendment.
“ft is unwise fo insulate from „
the horrors of war middle- and
tapper-class Americans who
might lead the protest against
senseless foreign adventures,”
Kennedy said. He contended ft '
