ters said today.
This has not been decided yet, q"
they said.
Neither has it been decided how
many men will be called. That, said
Selective Service, is up to the
Army, and will depend a lot on
how many volunteers are signed
up.
The Army orders men, and VIZ
just deliver the number they re-
quest" the draft office said.
Secretary Of Army Royal said
recently the first call will be re
latiVely small The draft calls
he said, might total about 10000 a
month.
When the draft law was first
worked out, it was estimated about
100000 men would be drafted by
the fall of 1949. During the next
two years, a maximum of 1926
may be inducted.
The draft law, which has a lega
life OF two years, authorized the
armed forces to build manpOwel
lnp to 2,005,882 men. This includes
/ the Navy, Marines and Air Force
which hope to get most of theil
men through volunteers.
Selective Service said it's 4,OO(
draft boards will be ready by dead
line time. Hershey said 100000
draft and registration cards have
been prepared.

signed for shipment abroad.
The change in Mexico's export
tax schedule was called in presi-

The new export tariff is expect
ed to dip heavily into the income
of Mexican growers dealing in the
produce export industry as we'll as
the meat packing plants whose
products are being shipped to Eu-
rope through an agreement with

The Mexican federal tariff reg
ulating committee has proposed, it

all products uniformly, but that
graduated exemptions-running to
the full amount in some cases
cover those products export of
