55, 900 Will Be Called
During November
And December

The Defense Department an
nounced today that a total of
I55, 900 men would be drafted for
the Army and Marine Corps In
November and December.
Assistant Secretary of Defense
Anna M. Rosenberg said that the

la recent increase in the planned
strength of the Marine Corps"
OF the November draftees, 49,
1000 will go to the Army and 10.-
900 to the Marine Corps. Pre-
Iviously the Marines were sched-
Iuled to get 4,700.
Selective Service was asked to
provide 5000 men in December
$500 for the Marines and 1000
for the Army.
Induction Suspension Set.
Mrs. Rosenberg explained that
the December call permitted sus-
pension of all induction between
December 81 and January l so
that maximum leave can be
granted to personnel or armed
forces examining stations and
training centers."
1t was not Immediately clear
just what was meant by the ref
erence in the increase in Marine
strength since there has been no
official announcement Of any
change in the corps.
However, Adm. William Fech-
teller, chief of naval operations,
told a recent news conference that
the Marine Corps might" be in
creased from the approximately
two and one-third present divi-
sions to three divisions.
The admiral said that he hadn't
heard any talk" of increasing the
Marine Corps to four divisions. He
explained that the combat team,
which is approximately the size
of one-third a regular Marine di-
vision. probably" would be ex-
|panded to a division in size.
First Inductees In August.
The Marine Corps will have ac-
cepted 31.780 draftees through De-
cember under present plant. It
first began taking inductees in
August. when 1000 were taken in.
Since the peace time draft was
revived in September, 1850. the
Defense Department has asked Sc
lective Service for 734,68 induct.,
ees. OF these the Army has asked
for 719,480.
The September draft call was
$4,000 for the Army and 6,180 for
the Marine Corps.
The Navy and Air Force have
not used the draft to get men,
depending solely on voluntary re-
cruiting. However, there have
been some reports that the Air
Force, which is expanding rapidly,
may yet call on Selective Service.

On 'MiIitory Matters
By the Associoted Press

TOKYO. Sept. 29.-Red China
tonight asserted the United States
has wrecked the Kaesong truce
talks and is preparing amphibious
landings on both coasts of North
Korea.
A Peiping broadcast monitored
here said the Americans plan tc
drive Red forces to the Yalu River
boundary between North Korea
and Manchuria. and to bomb Com
Imunist bases in Northeast China.
The propaganda blast came just
"a hours after Gen. Omar N. Brad
ley arrived to confer with the
United Nations commander, Gen
Matthew B. Ridgway. Gen. Brad
ley is chairman of the United
States Joint Chiefs of Staff. A
headquarters statement said he
and Gen. Ridgway discussed mil
itary matters of mutual interest"
Alternative to Truce.
Presumably their talks covered
the course of action to be taken
by United Nations forces if the
stalled truce talks break down al
together.
Peiping did not mention Gen.
Ridgway's proposal, made Thurs
day, that talks be shifted from
Kaesong to the vicinity of the
no-man's-land village of Song
hyon, 6 miles southeast of there.
The broadcast said, In order to
conquer the whole of North Ko-
rea, the Americans have decided
to train five more divisions, drive
the CNorth Korean and Chinese
forces to the Yalu River and bomb
Communist bases in Northeast
China"
Peiping said the commanders
of the two National Guard divi-
sions now training in Japan-the
40th of California and the 45th
of Oklahoma, recently visited Ko-
rea 'for a frst-hand survey"
The broadcast said the divisions
were being groomed for the am
phibious landing.
Navy Additions Reported.
"The 40th Infantry Division,
which recently undertook large
scale landing attack maneuvers,
now is starting another training
project. Part of the United States
45th Division and paratroop units
in Japan are undergoing training
also"
Peiping spoke of "two new
United States fighter and bomber
wings" which it said had been
recently transferred to Japan
from United States bases, and
new additions to the U. N. naval
forces in Korean waters. One was
identified as the United States
aircraft carrier Essex. The Essex
has been in action for some time.
