Numbers 216 through 366 face delays in 1970 draft draws
The Selective Service said numbers above 215 are spared induction this year and 216 to 366 will wait for examinations. Fewer inductions are expected than last year’s 289,900 with a 1971 draft drawing planned for early July 1970. Colonel Dee Ingold said new rules allow qualifying exams before tentative 1-A, though delays may occur as 1-As take priority.
