I . _ Wn. RQb Feassrrsna Theother viewpoint on"National Service' A national service for American youth is one of the best and most ex- citing social action proposals to come out of Washington, DC in a long time. The idea has some question marks, of course, but the benefits of such a program easily outweigh any possible harm it would do. Work programs right out of New Deal The program plans to place 18-year olds in a variety of social work positions, including schools, hospitals, jails, and urban ghettoes, or in two years of military service, or six years in the draft. The social work programs are right out of the New Deal. While many of the Work programs in the 1930's were simply busywork, and those from this proposal might also be just that, there are many areas of American society which need any help they can get. Volunteer work is needed desperately in many health institutions across the country, especially in rural health centers, state homes for the aged, and homes for the mentally retarded. American jails are overcrowded, dirty, and inefficient. Youth could serve in correctional institutions and in jails themselves so that the con- victed who come out can function in society and stay out of jail, and so that the ones in jail could be treated humanely. Jonathon Kozol, author of Death at an Early Age, has proposed a plan to educate the thirty million Americans who are "functionally il- literate" by using young people with excellent reading abilities to open Joel West learning centers and to tutor. National service could accomplish this goat and raise the American literacy level. Naturally, like any other Federal program, this one would have its share of waste and inefficiency. Areview of reviewer However, there are several existing successful models with which the program could draw on, such as the Peace Corps and VISTA.

The fear that an additional draft would propel the US into another major war is unfounded, however. For one thing more help is needed in the army reserves and national guard than in the standing army. For another, America's present armed forces are perfectly adequate for in- vading quite a few countries in theN world; the Joint Chiefs of Staff do not have to wait until the draft is re-initiated in order to start a conflict.
