Military 'Pick Up Pieces'
Plans Prove Successful
v/M
Remember back to 1966 when Secre-
tary of Defense Robert McNamara an-
nounced a plan to salvage some of the
600,000 men who were being rejected
every year by the draft because of
physical or mental unfitness?
The armed forces would accept 100,-
000 of these annual castoffs and at-
tempt to remedy their educational and
physical deficiencies and give at least
some of them the basic education they
did Bot get Jn school, ..........., , ^
“Prttject 100,000” is now more than
three years old and has Involved more
than 250,000 men in all branches of the
services, about equally divided between
draftees and volunteers.
in 20 months of the program at Fort
Dix, over 1,400 men had entered the
course (90 per cent of them with a
third-grade or lower reading level) and
about 78 per cent of them had success-
fully completed it.
“We were favorably impressed with
the Fort Dix program,” says the coun-
cil, “and with ‘Project 100,000’ as a
whole ... It seems to us that there are
some lessons here for the public schools.
Most persons, In the right atmosphere,
want"to leam-and can. learn,’!.....

Sure Of
Victory
AUSTIN (AP) - Five state
senatorsandSl representative*,
more than a third of the Texas
Legislature, are sure bets for
re-election.
The reason? They are unop-
posed in both the primaries and
the Nov. 3 geperal election.
Despite warnings from organ-
ised labor that “wrong” votes
on taxes last summer would
doom many lawmaker* to de-
feat, four of the five unopposed
senators and half the represent-
atives without opponents cast
crucial votes for new consumer
levies. / '
The four senators voted for a
sales tax on groceries, and 30
of the unopposed representa-
tives voted for a tax bill that
weighed even more heavily on
consumers than the one that fin-
paoflftd. • ni| |

It found that 45 per cent of the men
accepted into the services under “Proj-
ect 100,000” are high school graduates,
but oniy 20 per cent tested at 8th grade
or above in reading, and only 7, per
cent tested at 8th grade or above in ,
arithmetic. (Which says something
about the .value of a high school diploma
in terms of actual accomplishment.)
The Army is now giving about 20 per
cent of these “Project 100,000” men a
literacy course; another 10 per cent
are receiving such training in the Air
Force and Navy.
Eighty per cent of the men satisfac-
torily finished a crash reading course
of up to eight weeks. The average Im-
provement in reading ability is almost
two grade levels.
