Draft Ca||for June
Cut, 165From D. c.
FACING Summons

AS had been predicted. the
Army will require only $4,000
draftees in June. 81 900 less than
the draft quotas assigned for
each of the last four months.
Frank Norton, deputy District
Selective Service Director, said
today this would mean 165 men
would be called in June. The Dis
trict calls have been running
around 800.
Mr.. Norton added the lower
figure would mean no change in
the drafting of 19-year-olds,
which have been called here for
sometime. He said the District
also would continue to draft
older men as their defermentS
expired.
The June quota will bring to
I 1,466,430 the total number
drafted or earmarked for induc-
ton since Selective Service was
resumed in September, 1850.
The quota for January was
5000 and was set at $4,000 for
each month through May.
The Defense Department previ-
ously explained that the higher
calls during the first part of the
year was necessary to fill Army
ranks that are being depleted by
service competitions Of men
drafted early in the Korean war.
The Navy, Air Force and Marine
Corps are depending solely on
voluntary recruiting.
Some weeks ago officials indi-
Gated the calls would level of
somewhere between 10000 and
5000 each month this summer.

yesterday that the Postmaster
General be permitted to set
postal rates, without having to
get an okay from Congress.

postal rates intended to bring in
$240 million a year. The pro-
posals would boost first class
letter postage from 3 to 4 cents
and air mail 6 to Z cents.
Committee Chairman Rees
read a letter from Senator Know
land. Republican of California,
saying reporters were wrong in
interpreting a statement of his
Friday to mean Congress couldn't
act on the postal rate legislation
before adjournment.
Senator Knowland. the acting
Republican Senate leader. said
every effort" will be made to
act on the proposed increases
when the measure reaches the
Senate.
1T will be Immediately sched-

Senator KnoWland had dis
cussed the postal bill and other
legislation at a news conference
following a Friday meeting of
the Senate COP Policy Comittee.
He had said that from informa-
ton that I now have. / do not
believe the postal bill will be
acted upon at this session of
Congress.
When reporters asked Senator
KnoWland about his letter to Mr..
Rees yesterday, he said he meant
to convey the idea that Senate
action depended on how swiftly
the House acts. Congress is
scheduled to adjourn in two
weeks.
