Friday, September 17, 1965 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Page 3 Draft Call Decreases For A Change WASHINGTON (AP) Sec retary of Defense Robert S. McNamara today ordered the hiring' of civilians to replace military, personnel in non com bat jobs. He estimated it would reduce draft require ments by about 75,000 men. This disclosure by McNa mara was the highlight of a news conference today in which he asserted also that he is cautiously optimistic over progress of the war jn Viet Nam. Specifically, he said he is "very clear in my own mind" that the buildup in U. S. and South Vietnamese forces blunted the monsoon season offensive which the Viet Cong rebels had hoped would cut bouth Viet Nam in two. McNamara said also he in tends to push ahead with his controversial plan to merge the Army Reserve and the National Guard, despite a con gressional rebuff. Senate - House conferees re fused yesterday to eliminate a provision of the $46.8 - billion defense appropriations bill which bars such a reorgani zation without enactment of a law to authorize it. McNamara, who had tried to effect the merger through executive order, said today he feels the congressional action only postpones the move and added: HOT NEWCOMER FROM HONDA HON SPOR DA r5 New power, new styling, new perform ance, new engineering perfection.

We will continue to sponsor it." ians to be hired, largely for jobs within the United States, will replace about 75,000 offi cers and enlisted men on non combat assignments. The 15,000 differential, he said, is due to the fact that the civilians will be long-tenure employes whereas many of the military personnel are on short-term duty tours. The re sultant frequent turnover in these jobs means loss of man power effectiveness due to re training requirements. Actually, the 60,000 added workers will mean a very small percentage increase in the department's civilian em ployes who numbered 1,033,000 at lastest count. Averaged out, the hiring! would mean a decrease ot a little more than 4,000 a month from the 35,000 draft-call i-Sr ure set up as a rough re quirement to meet the in creased manpower nees stemming from the greater military effort in South wet Nam. ., McNamara said that a swe dividend of the civilian hiring will be to reduce the number of servicemen whose over seas tours of duty must be ex tended involuntarily because of the Viet Nam crisis. In a wide-ranging review, McNamara also: Said communist asser tions that civilians are the chief victims of U. S. air at tacks in Viet Nam are "an ab solute distortion of the facts."
