Women should be drafted. Senate decides
WASHINGTON (2P> — The*
Senate Tuesday refused to ex
empt women from the draft in
working on a proposed constitu
tional amendment guaranteeing
women equal rights.
The vote was 73 to 18 in the
first senate floor action on the
constitutional amendment already
passed by the House.
“I believe if women want equal
rights they should have them all
the way/’ said Sen. Charles Per
cy, R-Ill.
In effect, senators declined the
advice of the Armed Services
Committee chairman, Sen. John
Stennis, D-Miss., who said the
women’s right amendment would
create “great doubt, chaos and
confusion” with the draft and in
the military.
Sen. Sam Ervin, D-N.C., pro
posed the draft exemption as the
amendment to the women’s rights
measure. But he urged his col
leagues to vote against it “if
they believe in their heart that
women should be drafted and
sent into combat where they will
be slaughtered and maimed by
the bayonets, bombs, bullets,
grenades, napalm and poison gas
of the enemy.”
Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., man
ager of the amendment, did not
deny women might see combat
duty.
“If the country needs them I
see no alternative but to require
their services,” he said, and they
“will answer the call.”
However, Bayh said, women
would be eligible for all service
benefits and be assigned as com
manders see fit, just as men.
Mothers could be exempted by
federal law if the amendment
passed, Bayh continued. And in
any event the number of women
drafted and assigned to combat
duty, if the draft continued,
“would be significantly less than
one per cent,” he said.
This would be because some of
them could not meet required
physical tests such as doing
push-ups.
The constitutional amendment
would need the approval of 38

Native animals
food sources,
Teer declares
Use of wild, hoofed animals
(ungulates) in the arid and semi-
arid regions of the United States
might be a good source of future
meat needs.
Such a system. Dr. James G.
Teer of A&M said, also gives
merit to the idea of utilizing ani
mals adapted to existing vegeta
tion instead of trying to manage
the vegetation to fit domestic
livestock.
Teer, head of A&M’s Wildlife
and Fisheries Sciences Depart
ment, told members of the 25th
Anniversary Range Science De
partment Symposium Tuesday
that native wild animals are bet
ter adapted to their environment
than are domestic animals. They
have “evolved in place.”
He said there is no one ready
to state that native or intro
duced wild ungulates can become
commercially important in pro-
ftein production. Cattle, sheep
and goats are doing an adequate
job so far.
"N evertheless, the large
amount of meat produced by
game animals and harvested by
hunters should not be overlooked
in planning uses of rangeland
vegetation,” the speaker pointed
out.
Introduced big game animals
in Texas, such as the nilgai ante
lope, can supplement meat pro
duction on ranges already sup
porting other types of livestock,
Teer said. There seems to be
some economic potential for this
particular species in commercial
harvest programs on large South
Texas ranches. On smaller
places, their value would more
likely be as game animals.
Successfully introduced ani
mals in Texas, he explained, in
clude the axis deer, blackbuck
and nilgai antelope, and the sika
and fallow deer.
“If these animals, or others
like the eland and gemsbok, could
be established in wild popula
tions in the arid and semi-arid
desert ranges of the United
States and Mexico, their value
as producers of meat might be
established. There, they could
surpass the cow and other do
mesticated animals in produc
tion,” he said.
Wild ungulates and other wild
life forms have a future on Tex
as rangelands. With the live
stock industry moving into tame
pasture and eastward to better
watered ranges, uses of wildlife
for meat and sport hunting might
become the primary use of range-
lands in Central and West Tex
as for generations to come, Teer
said.
