Draft Calls Rise Monthly in Baytown War Effort
The Viet Nam conflict pushes Baytown draft calls upward with hundreds sent monthly for physicals and inductions. In March 500 are to be examined over five days, after 300 in January and 57 inducted. Inductees depart at 5 a.m. from the Federal Building amid send-off ceremonies by the Chamber of Commerce churches and veterans groups.
