TO
 GET FIRST CALL
3O,OOO By Nov. IS Will Mean Less Than 5 From
 Each Board
By JOHN A. REICHMANN United Press Stan Correspondent

united Press StaH Correspondent
 Washington, Oct. 18.-CUP = The first contingent of 30O0G conscrips Jess than five from each local bcard-wanted by the army on Nov. IS probably will be obtained from volunteers, draft officials believed believed today.
 They were also sure they would be able to meet the army,s demand for 100000 men by conscription well in advance of the war departments schedule. Present plans call for that many one-year conscripts to be in- ducted into the army by June 15, 1941.
 These optimistic views were talk en as registration returns from states swelled the probable number of registrants for the draft well over II, DOG, ,000-nearly 100000 more than pre-registration estimates.
 Dr. Clarence A. Dykstra, director of the draft, announced policy of leniency toward persons who failed to register Wednesday. He directed all state headquarters to. register them without penalty, if they pre- sent themselves before the nation al lottery. The law provides a pen alty of five years in jail and $10,- GOO fine for willful failure to regis ter. The lottery date has not been set but probably will be between Oct. 26 and Nov. 2.
 The new schedule for induction of conscripts into the army was an nounced by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, a Republican, after he had criticized Republican presiden- tial candidate Wendell L. Willkie who, he said, had been "misled into making statements about delays in the progress of housing the men,"
 He said that far from being a ghost program" as Willkie charged, the housing program was ahead of schedule. When questioned about the plan to call only 150,000 men by the first of the year instead of 400,- 900, as previously planned, Stimson replied 'exigencies of army train ing" insisting that it was not due to lack of housing.
 Stimson said that the slowness of the housing program "came from the simple fact that the people of the United States were not ready through their Congress Qast sum- mer) to take the. steps necessary to give this authority or to provide this money" The long debate in Congress over conscription. he said, was evidence of the truth of this statement.
 Some observers, however, regarded the new induction schedule as in- dication of the army's inability to provide adequate winter quarters, since more than half of those to be called will be inducted after the winter months.
 The schedule announced by Stim- son is as follows: Nov. 18-30, ,000; Dec. 2-6000O; Jan. 3-60,000; Jan 15-90,000: Feb. 10-160,000; March 5-2OO,0OO; June 15-200,000.
 In addition 130,000 National GudIuSIilcIl VIII Ut LlOUA41LCu NC- tween Jan. 3 and Feb. 3, 1941.
 Asked if any further plans had been made Stimson replied:
 "Only God and Hitler know what will happen to the United States by then"
 Conservative estimates of draft officials indicate that no compulsory inductions will be needed until Jan uary. They expect about 100000 vol unteers, and some expect as many as 500,000. The law permits volun- teerS as young as 18.
