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

"We have not given up on
the plan. 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."

chairman Schunior, was "to
serve as a witness against this
symbol of American militar
ism. We are trying to get
people to speak out."
'"We feel we're speaking for
millions," he said. However,
the enthusiasm of the many
student onlookers was not, per
haps, as uncontrolled as he
had expected. Most of them
watched for a few minutes,
giggled, and then walked
away.
Captain Richard Bucher of
the Air Force Science Depart

at the large number of re
