As subsequent calls are announced the monthly quota Is expected to rise until it levels off at about 30.000 in January, officials said. Because of the draft machinery, which involves obtaining and analyzing questionnaires from each registrant, there will always be a 60 day gap between the call and the day the registrant enters service, they said. Enlistments Cut Needs The first call, originally estimated at 15.000. was reduced by 5,000 because of an increase in voluntary enlistments in recent months. The navy and air force expect to meet their requirements In this manner.

By next July 1 the army expects to have drafted men. bringing it to its projected strength of 790.000. It was estimated that only about one man in every 42 registrants stands a chance of being drafted under present requirements of the draft act which expires in 1950. Most veterans are deferred automatically, as are married men and those holding vital Industrial jobs. Only those in active service are exempt from registration.

Those 18 are exempt from the draft Itself for one year. Young men henceforth must register on their 18th birthday or within five days. Severe penalties are provided for willful failure to register. Ill Hay Register Later Col. Armstrong said young men who are ill taay register later but those out of town must register at the nearest board.

It is also possible, altho not desired, he said, for members of various age groups to register at any time during the period until Sept. 18. Arrangements also were being made to register hospital patients and interns, while deputy registrars will be on hand today at the county jail and Bridewell to sign TORTEX compter no would register yesterday in Cni- not Bifocal cago, the same number expected for New York City. Col. Armstrong blamed the con fusion evident yesterday in many lid' of the draft boards on a lack of volunteer registrants, in many cases, and the failure of regis- approval of the post-war draft because of the international situation and said they ould be ready to serve again.

Hurl Tomatoes At Pickets In Boston, men in working clothes threw tomatoes at pickets who described themselves as members of the Young Progressives of America, an affiliate of Henry Wallace's Progressive party.
