Draft Call Uncertain as April Quota Slated Low
The Defense Department in Washington announced a national draft call for April of about 19 000 men, the lowest since 36 900 in September. Local Board 10 has not yet received an April quota. Chairman J Wyte Mitchell said last September’s quota was 2 men and this month’s is 14. The Army will take 15 000 and the Marine Corps 4 900, with fewer draftees due to more voluntary enlistments and veteran reenlistments. The April quota is the third lowest since the Korean War.
