In Draft Lottery Gets Underlay In Washington 1951 Births On July 9 Are First In Lin For Drafting ' Some 2 million men born in 1961 got their places in line for the 1971 draft Wednesday, with those whose birthdays fall on July 9 standing first in line, The positions were assigned by a national lottery matching the birthdays of men turning 19 this vear with numbers from one to '365. Men will be called in that or der to meet military manpower needs next year. This year's draftees got numbers in a simi lar lottery last Decijmber. In this drawing: July was a hot month, with three of the four lowest numbers, as well a the highest and thus "safest" num bers. Number 2 went to Dec. 24 Christmas Eve to be followed by July 25 at number 8 and July 29 at number 4. July 7, however, was matched with number 365; men sharing that birthday will be the last ones call ed, meaning that as things now look they stand almost no chance at all of being drafted. There has been no official esti mate as yet how many men the Pentagon will need next year or, therefore, how high, up f the num bers list draft boards will have to go. v. A fairguess and it's only a guess ould be that the lower half or iyro-thirds would stand ft chance olein drafted" ' Wane ne . lottery wu rr pVT tijtsf PAul) E MEN Jim Cox it William Powell Dili IPIan DR.
