Draft calls end but youths must continue to register
In a statement Colonel H J Fleischackerer Iowa State Director of Selective Service announced that draft calls have ended but young men must still register at age 18. Local boards will keep operating to maintain a standby pool for national emergencies. The standby role and budget cuts will shrink staffing nationwide by up to 34 percent with 7,300 employees reduced to 4,300 by December 31. In Iowa staff reductions will drop from 97 to 62, aided by attrition and local registrars to minimize travel for registrants.
