DRAFT RATE
 WILL REACH
 NEW FIGURE
Hundred Percent Boost of Induction Figure
 Revealed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.- Under Secretary of War Patterson told Congress today that inductions into the armed forces for the first six months of l945 will total 100000 men as minimum figure.
 On this basis the inductiorf rate will be 150,000 men monthly, about twice the rate previously indicated for the early months of this year.
 The Army and Navy took about sixty thousand a month during the late months of l944, which means the new figure for this month will be jumped around 80,000 men.
 Urging quick enactment of na- tional service legislation, Patterson advised the House Military Affairs Committee that only through some form of national service could the manpower needs of the war effort be met.
 Through the next six months pending enactment of an overall statute, Patterson said the War De- partment favors work or fight" leg islation for all men between 18 and 45.
 At the present time, such a bill is being entertained in committee.
