This time last season Adolph Rupp's door boasted its famous "We're Number One" sticker. This year the sticker is gone. The Cats Finish Even For Rupp's Worst Year But the very big difference was that the Wildcats were giving their all just so they could finish even on the season instead of in the hole. It was the worst season ever for a Kentucky team under Adolph Rupp in the more than 30 years the Man in the Brown Suit has presided over Kentucky basketball. But it had been Rupp himself who predicted the doom that was to come. As he deplaned from the Cats' Middle East trip late last summer, Rupp drawled, "We're not going to be as strong this year as last." The fans only smiled. They knew his public modesty and, after in the NCAA, first in the polls, all, the Cats had been runner-uand much of the team was returning.

In his special message on the draft sent to Congress yesterday, Mr. Johnson announced that he was ordering the creation of a system of random selection, or lottery, for eligible It would be put into operation before Jan. 1, 1969. The President has the discretionary power under the current Selective Service Act to set up such a lottery on his own authority.

Edward Herbert, a senior member of the committee, said yesterday he also "will certainly work toward the end of preventing a national D-G- D-I.- lottery." "While I appreciate the President's interest and desire to extend the law," Rep. Herbert said, "the Congress has a responsibility under the Constitution to raise and maintain the Army and Navy and certainly the Congress should discharge this responsibility to the fullest." The attitude of Rivers and Hebcrt toward the President's draft message was considered the most significant congressional reaction of the day by observers. The Armed Services Commit- tee will be responsible for drafting legislation either to extend the present law or to enact new draft provisions by June 30. Sen. Henry M.

Rep. William H. Rates of Massachusetts, the senior Republican member of the House Armed Services Committee, said he felt "that the present type of selection would be preferable to a lottery," but added that he was "willing to listen to the argu- ments." Both Rivers and Hebcrt made clear that as of Monday they intended to follow the recommendations made by an draft panel headed by retired Cen. Mark Clark. The Clark panel was created to advise the House committee and to offer recommendations independent of the presidential draft commission headed by Burke Marshall, the former civil rights chief at the Justice Department. The Clark panel recommended last week that the youngest men to be drafted first, instead of the oldest as the present system does, but rejected a lottery and eight-memb- By MAX FRANKEL New York Times News Service SAN ANTONIO, Texas -President Johnson announced Monday in a special message to congress that he intended to establish by Jan. 1, 1969, a kind of lottery that would determine which young men were drafted for military service.

That deferments for all graduate students, except those preparing to be physicians, dentists or ministers, be abolished. That deferments for fathers and men in essential occupations be abolished, and that rules governing deferments in other categories be tightened and made uniform. Mr. Johnson left undecided for the time being the question of whether undergraduates should be deferred until they obtain a bachelor's degree. In making his intentions known in a message to Congress, the President invited the nation to debate the issue of college deferments, noting that his expert advisers were in disagreement on the subject. Officials expect the President to make up his mind about student deferments before the end of the year. Mr. Johnson said that in no case would he permit college students "to pile deferment on deferment" to evade the risk of The Kentucky Kernel The Kentucky Kernel.

Then, each year all those found eh'giblc who reached the age of 19 (or used up their deferments) before a designated date would be placed in a selection pool, probably a single pool for the entire country. Through some random system, or lottery, the men in the pool would be placed into an order of call, and would be informed of their standing on the list. They would then be summoned to duty in that order, for induction at age 19, to fill the draft calls issued by the Department of Defense. Those not reached in this call-uperiod would drop to a much less vulnerable position on the list as an entirely new group of eligible men entered the pool. Since the pool of eligible men in any year is not likely to be exhausted, except in a war much larger than the one now being fought in Vietnam, the men on the bottom half of the list would be virtually exempt. Only after all eligible (and formerly deferred men entered in the pool as artificial were called would the become vulnerable again, and so on through each age group to the age of 26.

Mr. Rivers also said: "We have got to consider very fully occupational deferments. We have to take into consideration our future chaplains and preachers and other people like that." President Johnson did not mention occupational deferments in the message, but White House officials said the President intends to end them, as his advisory commission has recom- mended. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, one of the leading Senate advocates of draft reform, praised the President's draft message as "a sensible plan to bring out antiquated draft laws up todate." Kennedy will preside 14 at the opening of draft law hearings by the Senate Subcommittee on Employment, Manpower, and Poverty. Sen. Mike Mansfield of Mon"Mr. March tana, the Senate majority leader, said he did not believe that the Congress would simply renew the powers of the Selective Service Act and "leave everything to the President." He said Congress would prob ably amend the bill when it came up for renewal and expressed the opinion that Mr. Johnson "will welcome" such amendments. Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hcrshcy, director of Selective Service since World War II, made no mention in a statement Monday of the draft lottery ordered by President Johnson. The general has repeatedly derided the concept of a draft lottery, and the President's adoption of the commissson's recommendation in this segard was considered a serious rebuff to Cenral Hershey's position. The said he was that the general "pleased," however, President had reserved a decision on whether to move toward the replacement of the 4,100 local draft boards by 300 to 500 area centers, as the presidential commission had recommended.

Mr. Johnson sent his special message to Congress from his ranch near here. He said his planned executive actions, combined with a few legislative actions that he urged Congress to take, would revamp the draft system and meet the widespread concern that it has "drifted from the original con- uncertainties confronting the men, their families or employers; it would greatly reduce claims for dependency and occupational deferments, and it would give the armed forces younger men, who have been found generally more adaptable than older recruits.

Time On Our Hands It appears that the hassle over whether Kentucky should remain on Standard Time or switch to Daylight Saving Time during the period from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October will continue for at least another year. This is fortunate, for the legislature will have additional time to disseminate pertinent facts relating to the issue. According to a federal law, all states are to go on Daylight Saving Time the last Sunday in April unless state legislatures meet and decide to the contrary. This poses It is believed that the Department of Transportation, needing time to get itself organized, will not be so pushy in the time question as is the ICC. We reiterate what was said in an earlier editorial: the solution to Kentucky's time question will be made much easier and fairer for all if first the legislature puts the entire state in either the Central or Eastern Time zones. If Kentucky were in the Eastern Time zone, Daylight Time would likely not be desirable. But if all the Commonwealth were on Central Time, Daylight Time would probably be a convenience for most people during the summer months. It is this second measure Central Time for all with six months of Daylight Time which we advocate most strongly. problem in Kentucky, where the legislature is not in session until next year. Gov.

The problem was the small country had a civil war. Oh, not a bloody war, but an argumentative war over representation. In this country there were three classes of people. The vast majority were scattered all over the countryside and their being so far apart caused them to have problems getting together on issues. d The second class lived in and since housing projects, only the young and inexperienced were allowed to live in the projects they lacked leadership and unity.

On the other hand, there is much to be said for a Thanksgiving vacation which includes Wednesday as well as Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. away from the probut closer than the counjects, tryside. There were about 35 family palaces and a few family members had country homes. This class ruled, because they were more unified than the others. The war was caused because the many wanted to have a say while the few had the unity to elect. For years the many had at-- , tempted to ignore the rule of the few, but year after year the many saw that sooner or later the sysknit groups tem must change. Every so often the many tried to get together, but many of the many felt that it was hopeless and did not join in, and when this did happen, the few, because of their unity, appealed to the projects, who, because of their disunity and inexperience, followed the few. Then there came a terrible day when the many did unite and they turned out the few from every office and they, with the aid of a powerful nearby country called t, distorted the few palaces and put projects in their places. The moral of the story is that if the few gave in a little and allowed a system of representation, they would still have a major role, because they would have their countryside members elected and the palaces
