January Draft Call Is Said Unlikely Selective Service officials say it is virtually certain that nobody will be drafted In January according to an Associated Press release datelined Washington. If the Pentagon should send a new draft call this week, officials say it would be technically possible to induct a few young men next month. But as a practical matter, draft officials say, this would be highly unlikely because regulations require that a prospective Inductee be given 30 days' notice. Defense sources predict that a new draft call, when it comes, will approximate the low level of 10,000 In the just-ending quarter. They indicated the main reason the draft will remain low in the months ahead Is that the Army is under orders to cut its overall strength to 892,000 men by mid-1972.
