Defense Department issues smaller July draft call

The Defense Department issues a draft call for 15 000 army inductees in July the lowest since April 1967 and predicts below normal calls for July to December. The Pentagon cuts June call by 9 500 from 29 500 to 20 000 because discharge estimates were too high. Draft calls peak in April 1968 with 48 000 ordered to report for induction under Selective Service.
