Selective service laid down also neW ground rules for personal appearances before Draft Boards for a young man to make “a fair representation of his claim” for exemption or deferment. At the same time there’s a built-in brake designed to keep protestors from overloading the boards with ap peals. Deputy Director Daniel J. Cronin said the new “holding” classification, 1H, is designed to enable the service to “do business with the people likely to be draft ed and let the other people go about their business.” The rule changes put the draft operation in line with the new draft law, including the phasing out of college, trade school and junior college deferments. They become automatically effective in early December, 30 days after they are published in the Federal Register, as required by the new law. A major change not required by law wipes out the catchall 1Y classification that lumped together men wtih borderline physical disqualifications, homo sexuals, criminals and a variety of others. From now on a man in this area will be given 4F as physically unfit, 1A-RR1, mean ing being adjudicated, or 1A-AO, meaning acceptance undeter mined. Those men who turn 18 next year and must register for the draft then will be given the new 1H classification, except for those who enter military service, join reserve units, or are sole surviv ing sons. They wll remain there until their lottery in 1973, when Selective Service will announce a cutoff lottery number. Those below that number will remain in 1H and those above will be classified 1A or any ex empt or deferred classification for which they qualify. For men turning 18 this year, a cutoff number will be an nounced after the 1972 lottery and men below that number will be reclassified 1H, where they’ll remain until they reach age 26 barring an emergency. Men exposed to the draft as 1A this year or earlier but were not drafted will be put into 1H after next Jan. 1, and stay there until their 26th birthday. Divinity students will be put into a new deferment class 2D and sole surviving sons will be in a new class 4G.

Peru government establishes ties with Red China LIMA (•#*) — Peru’s military government established diplo matic relations with Red China on Tuesday and won Peking’s of ficial support for the Peruvian claim to a 200-mile limit of ter-i ritorial waters in the Pacific. This claim by Peru, as well as by neighboring Ecuador, and Chile, is disputed by the United States. Peruvian and Ecuado rian navel patrols have seized U.S. fishing boats many times in side the 200-mile limit and mari time officials have levied heavy fines against them. Peru is the third Latin-Ameri- can government to establish ties with Peking. The others are Chile, whose president is a Marxist Socialist, and Cuba. Argentina is considering estab lishing relations. The announcement of Peru’s ties was made in a brief com munique issued simultaneously by the Peruvian Foreign Minis try and Peking. The communique pointed out that the Peruvian government recognizes Peking as the only legal Chinese government. It also stated that Peru takes note of the Communist Chinese claim that Taiwan is “an in alienable part of the territory of the Peoples Republie of'China.” The communique said the two governments would exchange am bassadors “within a short time.” Shortly after the announce ment, Nationalist China suspend ed relations with Peru. It was the fourth time the Na tionalist government had sus pended instead of severing rela tions with a nation that has rec ognized Peking, in an apparent Nationalist attempt to partially preserve the government’s dwin-< dling diplomatic ties. In a brief television appear ance Monday night, Gen. Ed- gardo Mercado, Peru’s foreign minister emphasized Red China’s position as a world nuclear pow er and pointed out that Peking backs Peru’s 200-mile jurisdic tional claim. “China’s recognition of the 200- mile thesis is of great historical significance for us,” Mercado said, “because within this plural ism of power, in this new stra tegic balance, the positions of the great nations have been taken.
