Cut Rates for Birdlike Appetites
Many Americans may not like some of the sexy ideas
the Danes have come up with lately but there’s one that
deserves copying in this country.
A well-known Copenhagen restaurateur named Spies
has defied the unwritten law that women are supposed to
have appetites equal to those of men He has introduced
"mini, midi and maxi” portions for women in his new
restaurant-hotel, with prices graded accordingly.
It s not fair that women should pay the same amount
as men when they don’t eat as much,” says Spies
American restaurateurs please note. This may be some-
thing that women’s lib could really sink its teeth into.

Ask any young man between the ages of 17 and 26 what
is the one thing that bugs him most and chances are he’ll
say it’s that abomination called the draft The draft
should be done away with—now
Or so we are led to believe is the position of youth, judg-
ing by the statements of many of its supposed spokesmen
The Selective Service System found out otherwise.
It polled 650 young men for their opinions on four major
points of the Nixon administration’s proposals on draft
legislation: A two-year extension of the draft; attaining
an all-volunteer Army by July 1973; phasing out of under-
graduate deferments, and the introduction of a uniform
national call to replace the present system of individual
draft board quotas
The 650 youths are members of 56 Selective Service
Youth Advisory Committees who study the draft and meet
periodically to present their advice to state and national
headquarters.
Each of the 50 states has a Youth Advisory Committee,
as well as the District of Columbia, New York City. Guam.
Puerto Rico, the Panama Canal Zone and the Virgin
Islands. The youths range in age from 17 to 26, are
appointed by their state directors and, according to
Selective Service, "are generally representative of the
young people in their state.”
• On the question of extending the draft two more
years: 32 committees were in favor, 6 committees were
split and 4 were opposed.
• On an all-volunteer Army by 1973: 27 committees in
favor, 11 split and 4 opposed.
• On phasing out student deferments: 26 committees
in favor. 13 split and 3 opposed.
• On a uniform national call: 38 committees in favor,
3 split and none opposed.
To sum up, the poll found a 3-to-l support—among these
650 youths at any rate—for temporary extension of the
draft, 2-to-l support for an all-volunteer Army and phase-
out of student deferments, and about a 12-to-l margin for
a uniform national call.
It should be noted, however, that a great majority of
the committees said they "reluctantly agreed” that'the
draft had to be temporarily extended.
“As I read it,” says Selective Service Director Curtis
w Tarr, “they (the advisory committees) felt we must
exert maximum effort to hit zero draft calls and to initiate
an all-volunteer force, but recognize that we just couldn’t
make that transition overnight."

WASHINGTON (NEA
Just a few years ago the federal government pushed
its budget past $100 billion, and many Americans gasped
There is a very strong prospect that by 1975 it will be
spending at least $103 billion a year for the country's
aged, ill and infirm.
This estimate is based upon the assumption—a very
real one at this moment—that Congress in the next year
or so will adopt some kind of sweeping national health
insurance program.
The present guesses are that in the fiscal year start-
ing July 1, 1973, such a program would cost the federal
government around $57 billion. If its effective beginning
date were delayed, the first-year cost probably would
be higher.
As for retirement, survivorship and disability pay-
ments, Social Security authorities estimate that by cal-
endar year 1975 the government will be paying out bene-
fits at a rate ot $45.7 billion a year.
A couple of years ago, the then presidential aide Dan-
iel Moynihan cautioned that large amounts of "free
money" would not soon be on hand for loudly trum-
peted "must projects” like rebuilding the cities. Not
even a sizable Vietnam peace dividend would provide
the resources, he said.
His reasons: The rising costs of helping the aged, in-
cluding the health costs under Medicare, would soak up
so much of any extra money produced either by lessened
defense effort or a bigger economy.
Moynihan’s forecast was viewed skeptically. Some
aroused critics labeled it and similar predictions as alibis
for inaction on the boiling urban front.
The fact is, Moynihan’s judgments were conservative.
He was not including the inevitably huge costs of a
health insurance program widened to embrace all Amer-
icans, not simply the elderly.
Furthermore, he could have underscored his point dra-
matically by taking his projections a little farther into
the future. The House Ways and Means Committee fig-
ures that by the year 2000, basic Social Security benefit
payments will be around $75-80 billion a year. That
guess, too, could prove conservative.
Because spiraling health costs have been so difficult
to control, the experts feel less secure about forecasting
what the federal government’s total financial burden in
this field will be in the decades beyond 1975. But if $57
billion is roughly accurate for fiscal 1974, then $90 bil-
lion a year by 2000 would be a fair guess.
Putting such an estimate together with the one for
Social Security benefits, we get a projection of possibly
$170 billion to be spent by the federal government in the
year 2000 for health and Social Security alone.
1 hat is more than twice what we are currently spend-
ing for defense.
If anyone imagines these estimates are in any way
“scare figures," let him consult the authorities and their
charts. He’ll find the figures realistic.
Now, of course, by 1975 and again by 2000, the fed-
eral budget obviously will be a lot bigger overall than
President Nixon’s probably underestimated $229 billion
for fiscal 1972. A larger economy, higher average earn-
ings for individual Americans and higher prices all will
help support budget levels of several hundred billion
dollars.
Defense outlays, even if designed to fuel a much nar-
rower world effort than we presently finance in Asia,
Europe and elsewhere, surely will surpass considerably
today’s very large totals.
Yes, certainly, health and Social Security pay-outs in
the rest of this century have to be put in perspective
against the enlarging economic backdrop in American
life You have to admit, though, that the sums are enor-
mous. They’re not scare figures, but they are scary.
