Major Draft Increases Expected by The Associated Press
Washington expects a higher draft total than the 185000 authorized as Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey Selective Service director says the 785090 figure is outdated due to the world situation. He notes Congress has removed size limits on the armed forces and that calls for 100000 men in September and 40900 in October are underway with possible further increases. He foresees adding 50000 in November and hints at more, while defense estimates drive the draft, reserves, and National Guards adjustments amid a Korean War expansion and a doctor shortage in the armed services.
