14 Weeks Training
WASHINGTON, </P)—The army
said today that draftees will be
given 14 weeks of training and
then be assigned first to posts
within the United States.
Later, some will go overseas
but a spokesman said the number
going over “will not be large nor
happen soon.”
The spokesman also said that if
the* first call for 20,000* draftees
has the indirect result of bringing
ir. large numbers of volunteers a
second draft call may not be
needed to bring the army up to
its present ceiling of 630,000.
However, he did not discount the
possibility that the ceiling might
be raised.
The present strength of the
army is 593,000.
There will be no numbers draw-1
ing for the draft. The birth date
is the big factor in determining
which men will be called for duty.

Apply For Job—
Lose Valuables
BALTIMORE, (/P)—A group of
construction workers were caught
with their—uh—guard down re
cently. The victims told police
they answered an ad for out-of
town jobs at a suite at a down
town hotel. A ruddy-faced “inter
viewer” told them to go into the
next room and disrobe for medi
cal inspection.
He would keep their valuables,
if they liked. Nine handed over
their wallets, with cash amount
ing to $175.
Stripped to their shorts, the 18
waited. And waited. And waited.
But no doctor came in to look at
them.
Finally, after about an hour,
one of them peeked into the main
room. The interviewer was gone.
So were the wallets. And the hotel
found the room had been cleaned
out completely.
Seen a ruddy-faced “interview
er” with a swollen wallet around?
