Draft Calls May Fall To 3,000 Per Month Study Possibility Os Drop In Calls WASHINGTON (INS) — The army and the selective service system were disclosed today to be studying the possibility that the draft might drop as low as 3,000 men a month. Selective service officials have advised the army that draft machinery could be kept operating on calls as low as 3,000, but that this would damage the nationwide system involving 4.000 boards and 50.000 unpaid workers. The selective service officials expressed apprehension Monday, w'hen the army issued a call for 8.000 April inductions— 3.000 fewer than are scheduled to be draft-

ed in March and 15.000 leas than were inducted in January. The officials said a situation has arisen in which boards are likely to disintegrate for lack of anything to do. because some of them will not be required to furnish men for months at a time, in an emergency, the boards would have to be reconstituted. The army is* facing the fact that, for the time being, the ground forces have little need for inductions from among the 1,500,000 men who have been classified 1-A buL have not yet seen military service. Ground force units included 1,334,220 men on Jan. 31, and under the pentagon's current belttightening program this total is to be reduced to 1.025,000 by June 30.

Dulles Confers With American Envoys To Asia 14 Ambassadors To Asian Countries Are Meeting In Manila MANILA (INS) —Secretary of state John Foster Dulles arrived in Manila tonight and started a aeries of Important conferences with America’s Asian ambassadors. mainly on the Formosa situation. America's most-travelled secretary .of state, landed at International Airport at 7:01 p. m. (6:01 a. m. BST) on a flight from Saigon, Vietnam. An American source said Dulles will adivse the 14 American Ambassadors from Asian nations - now gathered: in Manlla-on results of his “show the flag” tour of the Indo-CMina states of Laos. Cambodia and Vietnam. Dulles, it was learned, will advise the ambassadors of the importance of the so-called "threeprong front" concept whereby Red China would be confronted with possible retaliation from Korea, Formosa and the Southeast Asia treaty organisation in the event of a Red attack in Southeast Asia. Ttye secretary wfl fly from Manila to Taipei Wednesday night to reassure Chiang Kai-Shek of America's determination not to abandon Formosa in the face of British pressures. It was learned, however, that Dulles will test the Nationalist leader’s reaction to the eventuality that Washington may decide “when and if it would be appropriate” to relinquish the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu in a “trade” with the Reds for a “permanent ceasefire" in the Formosa strait. American sources reaffirmed Dulles' determination not to send an unofficial delegation, to Peiping to discus Formosa even it invited, because, it was said, the Chiang government must be represented in any such discussions. “ These sources also said Dulles is not interested in discussing with Red China the cases of imprisoned American flyers because United Nations exist for this precise purpose. In regard to the Indo - China! states, it was said that Dulles Is] new “quite reassured” that Laos, j Cambodia and Vietnam can be saved from Communism and n his tour he laid the groundwork! for establishment- of "American ; military training methods. The tired state department chief conferred for an hour with South Vietnam s Premier Ngo Dinh Diem prior to taking oft for the Philippines capital. He told the tough. Nationalist] leader of the troubled state that his efforts to hold Vietnam within tiie free world had the unreserved support of the U. S. The secretary and the President's special ambassador to the Red-threatened Indo-Chinese state Gen. J. Lawton ■ Collins also conferred on the take-over by a U. S. military mission of the major re-i eponeibility for training the native I armies of Laos and Cambodia as; well as Vietnam. Collins feels the French have re-' liuquisbed enough authority over the forces of their former possessions enough authority over the (forces of their former possessions to enable American training methods to prevail.
