The draft commands compli-
ance to its rules without tell-
ing everyone concerned what all
those rules are. It is entitled
to compliance but not through
ignorance of those affected. We
discovered how little is known
about the draft law and how dif-
ficult it is to find any infor-
mation and decided something
had to be done. We have spent
months researching the law and
have found a lot of facts that
are not generally known out-
side the Selective Service Head-
quarters.
1. MANY persons are NOT
EVEN REQUIRED TO REGIS-
TER for the draft.
2. If you are not required
to register and volunteer, you
will be registered WITHOUT
being told you do not
have to register.
3. Few persons have seen the
draft law.
4. The government does not
give out copies of the law to
the public.
5. A "GLASSBLOWER" is a
“critical occupation” subject to
deferment, there are dozens of
other “critical occupations”.
6. There are two “services”
which FULFILL your military
obligation besides the Army,
Navy, Coast Guard, Marines
and the Air Force.
7. If you are scheduled for
induction there are many post-
ponements available.
8. It is possible to appeal
classifications to the Presi-
dent.

(Ed. NOTE: We shall overcome is a moving statement
which demands needed thought. This newsletter is from
Congressman Bob Poage of Texas. After reading these com-
ments from a man who should add to this thought, the question
surges concerning what we should overcome first.
9. There are 22 other
classifications available be-
sides “IA”.
10. The American Council
On Education says: “Enroll-
ment iii the first two years of
graduate and professional
schools next fall will be limited
to women, veterans, men physi-
cally disqualified and those over
the age of 25.”
11. Beginning in July, 1968,
almost 75 per cent of all men
inducted by Selective Service
will be college graduates.

Did You Know?
President William Howard
Taft weighing 332 pounds at his
inauguration, got stuck in the
White House bathtub and had to
have a specially constructed ex-
tra-large one installed. The new
one comfortably held four aver-
age-size men.
The tallest structure in the
world is the KTHI-TV Tower,
near Fargo, N. Dak., 2,063
feet high.
The word “nicotine” is de-
rived from the name of Jean
Nicot, French ambassador to
Portugal, who helped in bringing
the tobacco plant from the
Americas to Europe in 1558.
SUPPOSING man could travel
at the speed of light, that is,
186,000 miles per sec., how long
would it take him to reach the
nearest star - Alpha Centauri?
It would take four and a half
years!
Theodore Francis Greene of
Rhode Island, who died on May
19, 1966, was the oldest man
ever to serve in the Senate. He
retired in 1960 at the age of 92.
“There’s a sucker born every
minute” The expression was
coined when Pheneas Taylor
Barnum (1810-91), the showman
who exhibited, among other cur-
iosities, Tom Thumb, unabash-
edly proclaimed his faith,
American gullibility.

I
4-43 :
For the past two weeks the Newsletter has been written
for me by members of my staff. I know you have found them
interesting. As I will be in Texas for several days this week,
I had intended that the letter for this week be so written.
I want to speak out against what has occurred at home and
especially in Washington while we were gone, so I am sending
this special account.
I deplore the murder of Dr. King, but I also deplore the
murder of other citizens, both black and white, in many of
the large cities of our country. Many of these unsung dead
had done nothing to incite ill feeling. I deplore the destruction
and theft of millions of dollars* worth of private property
across the land (some of which occurred in the very block
where Mrs. Poage and I live in Washington). When government
cannot or will not protect property rights, the lives of its
citizens are not very safe.
No matter what the merits of any complaints may be,
government cannot exist without enforcement of the laws—
all the laws. If individuals are to decide what laws they may
violate we have anarchy-not government. If the minority is to
ever secure its rights it must do so with the help of government
through the enforcement of the law. Those who urge dis-
obedience of our laws are pulling down the only protection of
the weak—the strong will take care of themselves. Such
characters as Stokley Carmichael are the worst enemies of
the black as well as of the white people.
The use of misleading slogans don’t fool anyone except
the people who use them. The “non-violent” demonstrators
are just as violent in the United States as they were in India
(where they originated) and they are producing the same crop
of murder, arson, and looting. They invite and require a vio-
lent response.
If the self-advertised political friends of the Negroes
have any sincere interest in their welfare or any real in-
terest in the welfare of our country, they will immediately
call off all of the proposed “non-violent” marches and demon-
strations which are now planned. These are certain to pro-
duce more bloodshed. Surely, our government is not going to
continue to let looters and murderers run loose without letting
our police officers protect our people.
In Washington, D. C., police were ordered not to shoot,
and the troops were not allowed to carry loaded guns. The
result was that the looters and burners carried away their
stolen goods in the very face of the police officers. This sort
of practice but invites a repetition of the disgraceful proce-
dure of last week. In my judgment, those who violate our laws
should be arrested, tried, convicted, and punished. If they
resist arrest, police should be at liberty to use all force
necessary. I know of no other way to stop these outrageous
abuses of mass burglary. It is obvious that many of the so-
called rioters were much more interested in what they could
steal than in what “rights” they could secure.
Finally, I must take this occasion to publicly congratu-
late all the people of the Elenventh Congressional District
of Texas — black and white alike. You have set an example
which should be followed throughout the land. I am proud of
you. With this kind of attitude we have in Central Texas, we
are going to show some other sections how much better it is
for all if we will live together obeying all the laws - even bad
iiinlaws till we can get them, changed. ■ - ■ -5 - - . i
