War Escalation Alleged By VC In Paris Talks Draft Change Urged WASHINGTON (UP1) -President Nixon asked Congress today to modify selective sei-vice laws, including reversing the order of induction to take youngest instead of oldest men first. The President said he was proposing the changes "so that a young man would liecome less vulnerable rattier than more vulnerable to Ihe draft as he grows older." He proposed to make 19-year-olds the first eligible. In a message to the House and Senate, Nixon said he was proposing the changes as all interim method of "limiting the disruption caused by the system." Volunteer Army He said he still hoped ultimately to Install his plan for all-volunteer armed forces-which would eliminate the draft entirely--when world conditions become more stable. House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford said, following a meeting by Nixon with GOP congressional leaders, that he felt lawmakers would approve the Nixon plan.

"The kid's right," says another. But Frantz was out of a job today after being quoted in a newspaper article as saying three-fourths of Iowa's legislators "aren't worth a damn." Frantz, a liigh school senior here, was called into the office of Senate Secretary Carroll Lane Monday to discuss Frantz' remarks printed in a newspaper "man in the street" survey about legislative salaries.

Frantz had been quoted as saying: "It would be better to leave legislative salaries on a daily basis, ralhcr than paying lawmakers by the year." He then suggested the J40-a-day salary now paid legislators might be too much. "Three fourths of them aren't worth a damn," he said. Lane' said Frantz decided to quit because "It would be belter for all concerned if he resigned. There was no pressure on the boy at all and I have witnesses to prove it. You can print that in your damned article, too." Wliile Lane said there were "some complaints" a Frantz' article from legislators, not all senators felt Frantz was wrong.

By GEORGE SIBERA PARIS (UPI) --The Viet Cong accused the United Slates today on the first anniversary of the opening of the Paris talks of stepping up the war in Vietnam lo "unprecedented levels." Viet Cong chief negotiator Tran Buu Kiem demanded that the United States withdraw from South Vietnam without any reciprocal North Vietnamese pulloul. "In South Vietnam the United States is presently in the process of Intensifying its war of aggression to unprecedented levels," Kiem said. "American senators themselves have admitted it." While accusing the United States, the Communists shelled 212 targets throughout South Vietnam late Sunday and Monday, the most attacks since the 19C8 Tet offensive. Kiem urged the United States to start talks on the Viet Cong's peace package which is supported by North Vietnam.

The Viet Cong's National Liberation Front (NLF) presented it last week. "The NLF has always shown its good will and adopted a serious attitude in order to allow the conference to achieve speedy results, he said.
