Draft to Trim First Estimate Of Spring Call
Washington January 31 The Selective Service says a drop in Korean casualties and higher enlistments may cut draft quotas for April through June from prior projections. Maj. Gen. Hershey indicated a 430000 call for seven months, but an aide noted this figure was old. A later spokesman said the 430000 figure was outdated, with estimates possibly around 275000 to 300000, depending on developments. Enlistments rising allow further reductions while monthly quotas may run 40000 to 30000 for April through June.
