Without draft, forces need v,c:.:en
WASHINGTON The armed forces will
need to recruit more women in the next
decade unless there is a return to the draft, the
chairman of the House armed services subcom
mittee on military personnel said Sunday. Rep.
Les Aspin, a Wisconsin Democrat, said the
reduction in the birth rate and the improved
economy meant fewer men would be eligible
for or choose to join the military. The military
needs to recruit 37 percent of all eligible males
to meet the administration's plan for an increase
in armed forces enlisted personnel of 160,000
over five years, he said. He said the Air Force
had the worst record on hiring womcn!aAbout
23 percent of the jobs open to women in the
Navy are occupied by women. In the Army, it's
22 percent, and in the Air Force only 12
percent," Aspin said in a statement. Altogether
there are more than 200,000 women in the
armed forces about 10 percent of the active
force up from 45,000 in 1972, he said.
Congressmen: G end feed to Africa
WASHINGTON A bipartisan group of 96
congressmen Thursday urged President Reagan
to take emergency action to send food to 24
needy African countries. Rep. Byron Dorgan,
who organized the group, said the United
States must move quickly to prevent a repetition
of the 1973 African famine.
"We can't sit by and let millions of people die
from hunger when our own food bins are
overflowing many nations can send guns
and other weapons to these poor countries,
but few can match the surplus food aid of the
United States " Dorgan, a North Dakota Demo
crat, said. In a letter to Reagan, the youp
urged the president to rush feed shipments
already approved for distribution, use 300,000
tons of grain in the emergency vheat reserve,
work with Congress to c;: prove additional
food aid, and draw on the 50 million in
borrowing authority for the Office of Foreign
Disaster Assistance. '
Chemenlio fceua of elections
MOSCOW Soviet voters Thursday endorsed
officially chosen candidates to the Supreme
Soviet (parliament), in an election marked by
an emerging campaign to project the personality
of Communist Party Chief Konstantin Cher
nenko. Nearly 100 percent of the country's 160
million-strong electorate were expected to
cast their votes for 1,500 candidates to the
two-chamber house, which meets for short
sessions twice a year to approve laws.
Although all power remains in the hands of
the Communist Party leadership, the e lections
are treated as a major national event, with
thousands of party activists mobilized to ensure
a big turnout. As voters trooped to red-draped
polling stations scattered across the country
: from the Pacific coast to the Baltic republics,
the state media focused its coverage on one
man ' the 72-year-old new party leader.
Western diplomats have been struck by the
scale of official praise devoted to Chernenko as
well as by the uncertain style of his public
performances.
