DRAFT MICKEY?

By JOAN HANAUER, United Press International   |   Dec. 30, 1980

Uncle Sam wants Mickey Mouse to register for the draft. The Selective Service System has written to Michael M. Mouse at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., demanding he sign up.

A spokesman for the amusement park said, 'We'll notify them that at 52 he's well over the draft age. And besides, he's a World War II veteran. I suppose we'll also have to point out he's only a cartoon character. I think somebody snuck something by the government here.'
