Draft Call To 36,450 In November For All Services
The Defense Department asked the Selective Service System to furnish 36,450 men for Army Navy and Marines in November the biggest monthly draft call since May 1953 near the end of the Korean War. The move supports President Johnsons plan to boost active armed forces by 340000 to about three million. The breakdown: 28400 to the Army 4000 to the Navy and 4050 to the Marines. The Air Force expects to meet needs with volunteers and will not draft. The Army also announced expansion of its training system to handle 408000 new soldiers in the 1965 66 fiscal year.
