Des Moines Iowa Col Glenn R Bowles director of Selective Service says some men married before August 27 may be drafted in March though single men and those married after August 26 are currently being called. March draft could rise to 459 men from February 415 with factors like college dropouts and enlistments influencing needs. Bowles noted they would prioritize oldest married men if needed and counties with older couples could be drafted first.

UN members cool to plea by Johnson
United Nations neutrals questioned the timing of President Johnson's call for a full Security Council debate on the Viet Nam war. They suggested the move after renewed air attacks on North Viet Nam weakened U.S. leverage and risked dampening chances for a peaceful settlement. The Security Council planned a 10:30 a.m. EST meeting with invitations likely extended to both Viet Nams, while debate over inviting the National Liberation Front remained unsettled. Hanoi's invitation status was uncertain as the regime had rejected a 1964 invite following Gulf of Tonkin incidents.
