October draft call rises to 5200 men amid enlistment slump
The Defense Department issues an October draft call for 46 200 men the highest monthly total since Korea, boosting September needs by 6 000 to 37 300 as enlistments fall. The House Armed Services Committee delays further hearings on Selective Service until next year as it weighs a national lottery and other reforms. Illinois expects an October call of 3 234 men, about 7 of the national total.
