Left untouched by this reform has been the system of local draft broads able to make nonuniform decisions on who is eligible and who is not. These boards continue to enjoy arbitrary powers with regard to deciding the validity of the moral and religious reservations of draftees. It is these inequities which have led thousands of our young men to flee this country and become refugees in foreign lands. It Is way past the time that we got down to the business of putting through some real reforms in the Selective Service System. and got beyond superficial changes. And the greatest inequity is the draft system itself.
