Show The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri Oct. 10, 1969 Todays Cowboy: Girl Scout A New Breed News Girl Scouts and Dugway Brownies have started their fall meetings, and have many Cimlxiys were a breed apart. You could tell them by their swagger when they walked through and town, from stampedes, Indian raids and natures vengeance. These men worked hard and relaxed lianl. First stop was the saloon. When a cowl my strode in and ordered a double, the bartenders knew it meant one for the cowl oy and one for the horse. So common was this practice that a rich visitor to Colorado Springs tried it in the Antlers Hotel. The horse was refused a drink, so this wealthy Easterner built his own hotel. At the opening ceremonies, his horse was served the first drink. Another diverximi was The plusful cow-ho- v would mount the billiard table on horseback and try to get all the lialls in the pockets via his horses hooves. The table always needed a new cover; the cowIkiv paid for the damage out of the pay jingling in his jeans. Mock rohlieries were also common. Cowboys would board the cars of the Santa Fe to frighten the womenfolk. At the end of the trip, all the valuables were returned. The most popular pasltimc. an orthough, was the rodeo ganized outlet for the high spirits accumulated during long mouths on the trail. The rodeo was a wildly anticipated event, both for the prize money and for the moment of truth when each mail tested his strength in the ring by mounting a roaring bronco or wrestling a steer four times his weight. Television exposure is now liooniiiig rodeo into a huge spectator sjairt.

Vice Admiral William Mack, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Manpower and Reserve Affairs, told an American Legion meeting in Atlanta, Aug. 23. that the DoD studies made under Project Volunteer will Ire made available to the commission, along with other Defense material it may need to complete its work. Admiral Mack said the commissions report is expected to he sumitted to the President for review in November. Admiral Mack said the objectives of Project Volunteer are to reduce our requirements for new accessions lry improving retention . . . and manpower utilization . . . and by increasing the numlier of tme volunteers lry intensified recruitment and making military service more attractive and rewarding." lie said the Department of Defense is operating under these guidelines provided ltv the President: The All Volunteer Force concept applies to the period after involvement in the Republic of Vietnam has ended and when military manpower requirements can Ire safely reduced. There is a recognized need to keep the draft system in lreing on a standby basis in case of some future emergency. The draft cannot Ire ended all at once, but will have to Ire phased out so that at every step the required defense strength can Ire maintained. Certain key assumptions underlie the Project Volunteer study plan, the admiral said. The most basic of which is that military manpower needs will continue to be met both in the number and the quality desired, including our needs for scarce specialists, such as physicians. The program will have to meet the needs of our Reserve components as well as the active duty forces." The areas proposed for study in Project Volunteer include pay and lrcncfits. improved and expanded recruitment, Iretter utilization of personnel, increased use of machines and equipment, increased use of. Iretter housing, iinpnrved education Item-fits- , women, and a revitalized Reserve, the admiral said. Admiral Mack noted that many of the subjects have Iteen reviewed in recent years lry DoD or the individual Services, but he said, Generally, these studies, such as those of military pay, have placed primary emphasis on personnel retention rather than on initial recruitment. Overall direction of Project Volunteer has been assigned to Assistant Secretary of Defense, Manpower and Reserve Affairs, Roger T. Kelley. As an initial step in developing an action program, the admiral said Mr. Kellcv has requested each Military Department to review the entire range of options outlined in the study plan and to submit recommendations to him on desirable and feasible actions to move DoD toward the voluntary force goal. At the same time. Admiral Mack said the Defense study group will review all past studies cm factors affecting recruitment and retention. These studies will lie liased upon the principle that any change in our manpower procurement system will lie acceptable only if it assumes that the Services will lie provided with the manpower they Del'd to meet our national security objectives. The President has made this guidance quite clear, and I am ctmfidcnt that lxith our own studies and those of the Presidential Commission will lie based upon this point of departure. IIIOIIV.

Admiral Mack said the Defense will lie retained, that Department is assuming that draft authority the Selective Service system will remain in standby with all of its machinery ready for use when needed and that all personnel will continue to lie classified even though not called. But, the admiral noted the President had expressed the conviction that so long as the draft is needed we must do everything we can to minimize its disruptive impact on individual lives and to make it as fair as possible. To meet those objectives. Admiral Mack said, the President proposed three basic changes in draft procedure, and a review in a fourth area; Institute a prime age group, thereby limiting effective draft vulnerability to 12 mouths. Provide for random or lottery selections within the prime age group.
