PAGE 15-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 19, 197^ >4 • 1 . "rmr?f imlTTTfl|^ During the recent Jongressional recess a question wfcs frequently asked concerning possible amnesty |for American war exiles. It is estimated that more than 170,000 young men of draft age have fled out country in order to escape military service - [possibly in Vietnam. Most of these would like now to return to their homes -- and the governments of the countries where they have sought refuge would be happy to have them leave Recently some Democratic presidential aspirants have recommended complete am­ nesty for all of these draft evaders who would now like to return home. Presumably, this also would include amnesty for some 3,200 who are now serving terms in jail as draft dodgers. The most frequent recom­ mendation directed to this member of Congress was for no mercy whatever. A typical comment was "Let them stay in Canada or Sweden or wherever they are." While the rate of departure to escape the draft increased sharply following the escalation of the Vietnam War in 1965, the situation is not too unlike that of World War I in which there were 164,000 draft dodgers or World War II where there were more than 20,000 convictions for violations of the Selective Service laws. Following both World War I and World War II, modest numbers of draft evaders were granted amnesty (about 1,500 in each instance). However, these experiences are dwarfed by the present proposal af­ fecting the 70,000 war exiles. A logical and compassionate McCLORY REPORTS From Washington alternative has been proposed by U.S. Senator Robert A. Taft, Jr., of Ohio, who has introduced legislation (S. 3011) which would grant amnesty to most draft evaders who voluntarily return to this country, provided they accept military or other federal service such as duty in Veterans Administration or Public Health Service hospitals. According to recent surveys, the proposal of Senator Taft appears to have substantial popular support Some who favor this solution have in mind that alternatives to combat duty are appropriate in the cases of those who felt so strongly about Vietnam that they deserted their families and their country. In addition, it is clear that not only the individuals who have exiled themselves but their families and loved ones are made to suffer when the condition for returning is certain im­ prisonment for 5 years or more. As the Vietnam War winds down to a complete ter­ mination, the issue of the exiled draft evaders will gain prominence on the Congressional agenda. It would seem inequitable and wholly unjust to all who have served in the military as volunteers or as draftees to excuse and welcome home those who evaded the draft by fleeing to other lands. Still, it is difficult to con­ template a permanent population in exile numbering some 70,000 or more. A comprehenseive solution is bound to emerge. But not without differences of opinion being expressed and emotions being sparked. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Dross 5 Treasury agent 9 Fortune- telling: cards 11. Watered fabric 12. Thespian 13.
