Hershey warns 1969 draft may rise to 340000 if war lasts
Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey told Congress that if the Vietnam conflict continues, the Pentagon may lift the fiscal 1969 induction total from 240000 to about 340000. He noted 345000 were called in fiscal 1968 from a 285000 plan, and warned that without a end to the war the shortfall in enlistments and high rejection rates push up drafts. Marine recruitment rises with 1900 added in June.
