Program To Begin In July
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara will call up to 31 000 reservists to active duty beginning next July for 24 months. The move targets members unable or unwilling to participate in reserve activities and aims to weed out draft evasions under the 1967 Defense Appropriation Act. The action requires no complete mobilization and follows legislation sponsored by Senator Richard B. Russell.

Open Housing Plan Again Facing Trouble
Washington AP President Johnson again pushes fair housing legislation to ban discrimination in sale and rental of housing. The plan would phase in by 1965 to cover all housing, targeting federally insured or financed housing first, with education and conciliation as initial tools. Political opposition looms in the Senate, while Johnson argues the measure is just and necessary.

Soviet Mao Break With Beijing Prompts Draft Rules
Soviet officials accuse Mao Zedong of seeking a break with Moscow while McNamara outlines new reserve draft rules. The plan widens authority to mobilize delinquent reservists and address anti-Soviet protests amid clashes in Tibet and Kwantung areas. Congress critiques the six month active duty scheme as evasive and notes exceptions for hardship and critical occupations. A separate move calls up 100 medical reservists for two years of active duty.
