THE J Kentuck Funeral services for Dr. Daniel Russell, prominent Baptist Church layman and retired Texas A&M professor who died at his home here Sunday, were conduct ed Tuesday in the Callaway-Jones Funeral Chapel. Burial was in Bryan City Cem etery. Dr. Russell, 70, was a 38-year member of the Agricultural Eco nomics and Sociology Department until his retirement in 1964. Survivors are his wife; one brother, Gordon Russell of Bryan; and three sisters, Miss Lou Rus sell of Prescott, Ariz., Miss Dean Russell of Los Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. Ralph Brown of Pasa dena, Calif. Dr. Russell was a member of the Southwide Baptist Rural Church Committee, a chairman of the Texas Baptist Rural Church Committee, and a member of the Texas Baptist Executive Board and the Texas Baptist Christian Education Committee. He also was president of the Christian Rural Overseas Program (CROP) for five years. He founded the Crippled Chil dren’s Clinic of Bryan, a project of the Kiwanis Club of which he was a member. R. L. Skrabanek, a former stu dent of Mr. Russell’s and now a professor in the A&M Agricul tural Economics and Sociology Department, said the teacher was known as “Dr. Dan’’ by his col leagues and pupils. He said a lasting memorial to Dr. Dan was the A&M Housing Project, which the sociologist helped to establish. The system provided housing and meals on a cooperative basis to about 4,000 Depression-hit s u d e n t s from 1932-43. Skrabanek termed the project “a successful experiment in liv ing.” Dr. Russell, who resided at 106 Lee Ave.-S, headed the A&M De- DR. DANIEL RUSSELL partment of Rural Sociology from 1926 to 1946, at which time it Was merged with agricutlural economics. He taught the first course in agricultural journalism, the forerunner of the current De partment of Journalism. Dr. Russell was born in Missis sippi in 1899 but was reared at Crockett, Texas, and was gradu ated from high school three in 1918. He enrolled at Baylor Uni versity in 1919 and graduated in 1922. Further education came at the University of Chicago, which he attended on scholarships, and graduated with an MA degree. He returned to Baylor in 1925, taught sociology for a year, and came to Texas A&M in 1926. Tonight on KBTX 6:30 Glenn Campbell 7:30 Beverly Hillbillies 8:00 ABC Wed.

A White House source said staff members of the National Security Council, Defense De partment and Selective Service have been asked to consider whether the acknowledged loop holes in the system “will be a real problem and, if so, what to do about it.” The most obvious loophole al lows a deferred man, in some cases, to choose the year he is exposed to the draft — presum ably a year when his lottery number is unlikely to come up — by deliberately dropping his de ferment in that year. Col. Bernard T. Franck, an aide to draft Director Lewis B. Hershey, said some of the Selec tive Service System’s legal ex perts think a college student, for example, could not give up his student deferment simply upon his own request, while remaining a student. But Franck said he did not know whether this interpreta tion had ever been put to the test. And even if it holds up, he con ceded, it would not prevent a man from dropping his defer ment by actually dropping out of school or quitting an essential job. Still another flaw is the re verse case of a man classified 1-A who seeks a deferment when it looks as if his number is get ting hot. If he gets the refer ment — and the local board may have no choice if he qualifies — he leaves the draft pool. He would not be exposed to the draft again, White House and Selective Service sources agreed, until he once more entered the 1-A pool. Franck said a local board could prevent a man from jump ing in and out of 1-A at will by refusing, somewhere along the line, to reconsider his classifica tion. But even with that limitation, some draftable men may try to “play the numbers,” as draft- minded authorities now phrase it. When President Nixon last month established the lottery sys tem based on birthdays drawn at random, a White House fact sheet estimated about half the available men would be drafted in 1970. Because of differences between local boards, each ap plying the lottery list to its own draft pool, the actual numbers reached will vary. The White House offered, cau tiously, a rule of thumb: Among the lottery numbers ranging from one to 366, men in the low est one-third would be virtually certain to be drafted; men in the middle third would have to wait and see; and men in the upper third would be relatively safe from the draft. Some local boards may have to reach higher than halfway up the list, a Pentagon manpower expert pointed out, because some of their deferred men, due back into 1-A in 1970, may be still in the processing “pipeline” at the end of the year. Boards with men in the pipeline might have to reach higher to meet their draft quotas. How much higher, he said, can not be predicted. It is also possible, he said, that a local board might have a lopsided distribution of lottery numbers within its own pool — just by chance, say, almost no men with low numbers. In that case, it would just have to call men with high numbers instead. fia TT LOW, LOW PRICES £V€Ry VAY SPECIALS!^™™ Safeway Special!

They rest on the Pentagttj estimate that it will havetoe tain — somehow — about 551,1 draft-eligible men in 1970. The Pentagon expects 2M,I to enlist voluntarily, 1 260,000 to be drafted. If the number of enlistaai falls short, the size of the its must rise, for somehow they to add up to 550,000. The number of men neei remains unchanged, and so 4* the number of men available. But the question then becoas from what part of the lotts list will they come? Men with low numbers alai certain to be drafted, mays list instead so they can cloa their branch of service; mean high numbers who might otke wise have enlisted, may d«i they don’t have to after all. Add to this possibility the 1»| holes opened up by the maria lation of deferment status, you have a whole new tks game — one in which the pan can choose moves they neverli before. And you have elements ofi certainty never intended by4 designers of a plan aimed ats ing the “agony of suspense" The key fact remains, as N on intended, that a man » reaches the end of any year 1-A status, without having k ^ ^ drafted, can consider hims , y i interior, ... i r Hotie relatively safe.™ The Go friends and Ne WAI One day . 3C per w Min C 90e 4 p.m. clean, id make off But within that exposure ja the agony of suspense may»J be traumatic for men as M plot their moves in the ‘‘numba game.” The White House source« mitted these possibilities ess but they still are only "ghon that may never become real,J said. 1969 Honda p, two helm Upete outfi 1967 Camar p, 427, fou lone 846-88S FIELD JA ■w style an od in coll lO.OO.
