New classification created for those unlikely to be drafted
WASHINGTON — A new
- ra ft classification was created
Tuesday for registrants too
y 0U ng to be drafted and the 18-
year-olds and older men with
such hitfh lottery numbers they’re
unlikely to be called into military
service.
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.
