U.S. Draft Call To Fall in '67

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Draft calls are expected to be cut in half during the next four months, compared with the period of August through November, Secretary of Defense McNamara announced last Saturday.

The inductions in the past four months have ranged between 37,000 and 50,000 a month, totaling about 161,000. "I think that in each of the next four months they will average less than 25,000," McNamara told newsmen at the LBJ ranch.

He said the total for the period would be approximately half that for the previous four months.

Referring to the 200,000-man troop build up in 1966, McNamara said the increase next year will be "nothing of that order."
