—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 10,1968 8 S WASHINGTON REPORT Congressman Edwin D. Eshleman 16th Dlttrict-Pamisylvwda HH Much of my mail from the 16th District concerns our mili tary personnel from the area. Some of the mail comes from men and women who them selves are serving, and other correspondence is from their families. Within the letters I have noticed one subject that seems to be widely misunder stood That subject, “solesurviv ing” son, probably needs some clarification I am going to de vote pait of this week’s column to a cUscussion of the military regula Lions on this provision in hopes of making it a little easi er to understand. Just being an only child or the only male member in the family does not make a young man a “sole-surviving” son in sofar as this special provision is concerned This is the point that is so greatly misunderstood A young man must be the last male member of a family where his father or other brothers have died as a direct result of military service thus leaving him as the last male member of the family The person who qualifies un der the strict requirements of this provision as a sole-surviving son mav be affected in three ways by the policy. First, he is ineligible for the draft. Second, if he joins the military volun tarily and is not an officer, he may request duty in areas out- The Many Crop HAYMOR ALFALFA Fresh seed mixed and Inoculated (FREE) Save with REIST’S Seeds Reist Seed Co.

That officer will make a record of the noncombat status. The immediate family may effect the same result by writing to the Chief of Personnel Opera tions in any branch of the Arm ed Forces This procedure does not mean that the soldier will be assigned just in the United States, but does mean that he will not be given combat duty. The thud pait of the policy concerns discharge The Armed Forces will release from duty any enlisted man who became a sole-surviving son of a family after he had entered military service If his father or one or more of his brothers dies as a direct result of injuries receiv ed or disease incurred during military service, the soldier himself must apply to his im mediate commander for consid eration. He would then lie dis charged under the ruling if found to be qualified. - The confusion surrounding the policy has grown out of this strict definition. Most people be lieve that it applies to any young man who is the family’s only male heir. This is not the case and I felt it would be help ful to provide this clarification for the people in our area.
