WASHINGTON — (UP)—
The Air Force said today
it may have to ask Con-
gress for authority to draft
some of its veterans of
World-War II. Almost all
veterans now are exempt
from the draft.
Colonel Harland P a r^e-d~
told the House Armed Ser-
vices Committee the Air
Force hopes to avoid re-
course to a draft of veter-
ans, if it can get the men it
needs through volunteers
and from its reserves.
