Armed forces ponder fate of communists drafted under new plan
Army officials warn the draft program raises questions about how to handle inductees who declare Communist beliefs or object to the oath. With no directive, the service may induct communists but keep them from sensitive duties. Conscientious objectors would be deferred or assigned noncombat roles. Reserve enlistments rise, notably in the guard, which selects top volunteers as Maj. Gen. Kenneth F. Burns orders higher standards. Guard funding for the year begins July 1 at 341,000 total. 300,000 ground forces, rest in air. Ground strength stood at 249,000 as of June 1.
