BAULCH ! WASHINGTON Ifl The end of fighting in Korea - may permit monthly draft calls to be cut, by 4,000- men in about three months but the callup L expected to climb to 40,000 in mid-1954. That's near ly double the present draft of 23, 000 men a month. ' Z- This outlook for draft-age youths fs outlined in the roost recent state ments by Defense Department and Selective Service officials and the terms of the truce agreement sign ed Monday. f " . ; Whether any cut in the draft can be made and when depends oh just how stable the armistice is in Korea, said John A. Hannah, Assistant Secretary of Defense for manpower. If conditions permit, he said, the callup will drop from 23, 000 to 19,000 in 90 days. -. Hannah said he thought it will be necessary to raise the draft to 40,000 a month in July, 1954, be cause callups were heavy in the first 18 months of the Korean War, and men completing their service will have tc be replaced to keep the armed services up to strength. Trimming Manpower - Military manpower totals 3 Vi million but is being trimmed some under the administration's econo my drive. The Army, the only ser vice dependent on the draft, must maintain 20 divisions plus support ing units. " With a lowering draft call, Se lective Service officials expect they will not have to dip quite as deep ly into -the 19-year-old pool of youths. But when the callup in creases in mid-1954, more of the younger men will get "greetings." To Use 19-Year-OIds Selective Service officials said the armistice would have no great bearing on the 19-year-old callup because in most states the older men who- are qualified have been drafted and men under 20 must lie used. : Unlike the end of fighting in World War II when there was a surrender instead of an armistice the Korean truce will not mean a mass return of troops immediate !y. No Withdrawal Expected Secretary of Defense Wilson says "it will be a long time- before we can with safety withdraw our troops from Korea. Exactly bow long that time will be depends on when officials consider peace isJ sufficiently secure. -Gen. Mark Clark, the Far East ern commander; has been told to work out a rotation program that will fit into the Defense Depart ment's worldwide system, of mili tary assignments. Duty at other overseas stations has a specific length. . . The officials are considering set ting Far Eastern tours at about 16 or 17 months. This would recog nize that even without fighting. duty there is less ' pleasant than elsewhere. As for rotation in Korea, the truce agreement limits the number of men who may be replaced there each month at 35,000 men each month.
