Quarterly drafts studied
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
Army officials hope to end the
decades-old practice of monthly
draft calls with the new draft
announcement expected next
week. They expect to switch to
quarterly calls.
In the wake of passage of the
new draft law Tuesday, Penta
gon officials are working up
new calls for the rest of the
year. Total calls for October,
November and December will
be no more than 19,500, officials
indicated.
Army officials want to switch
to a quarterly call system
because they feel it is simpler
to administer. Their plans,
however, must be approved by
civilians in the office of the
secretary of defense and by the
Selective Service System.
Newspaper
says Liu
escaped
By United Press International
A Hong Kong newspaper said
today Communist Chinese Pres
ident Liu Shao-chi, who was
ousted during Communist Party
Chairman Mao-Tse-tung’s cul
tural revolution, has escaped
from house arrest.
The rightwing newspaper
Daily Express said Liu was
rescued from detention by
Hugna Yung-sheng, chief of
staff of the Chinese People’s
Liberation Army.
“Liu Shao-chi is now missing
in Communist China and Huang
Yung-shen might have been
arrested by the army of Mao
Tse-tung’s faction,” the newspa
per said.
All civil and military air
traffic has been halted in an
effort to keep Liu from
escaping, the Daily Express
said.
The newspaper said Huang
was a close follower of Liu’s in
1966 during the cultural revolu
tion.
For days, reports and rumors
have circulated that major
changes have occurred in
Communist China. Some re
ports have said Mao was ill,
but this has been denied by
Chinese embassies in world
capitals.
The latest such report came
from the English language
Hong Kong Star with said Mao
suffered a heart attack and
collapsed at a meeting of the
Politburo Sept. 9.
China analysts in Hong Kong
were dubious of the report in
the Star, which frequently
prints sensational reports on
alleged events in China.
The New China News Agency
(NCNA) in a report from
Peking said today that Chinese
Premier Chou En-lai met
Thursday with a group of
Japanese businessmen but the
dispatch made no mention of
any unusual developments in
China.
Earlier reports from diploma
tic sources in Tokyo said Chou
had called off some appoint
ments last week. Some of the
reports led to speculation that
some important changes may
be taking place on the Chinese
mainland.

(UPI)
The monthly draft calls have
been a fixture of American life
for more than two decades.
Inductions for the World War II
period came to an end in
October, 1946, and the draft
then went into mothballs except
for three months during the
194849 Berlin Blockade.
But the month calls were
resumed in September, 1950,
shortly after the Korean War
began. From then until this
year there was a call every
month but two—May and June,

With the decline in the use of
the draft in the decrease in
hostilities in Vietnam, Army
officials began this spring to
feel it would be simpler to use
a longer period for calls than
one month.
So for May and June the
Pentagon issued a single
composite call for 20,000 men.
A call for 16,000 men was
issued for July-August, but that
was canceled when the old
draft law expired June 30.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI)—A
high school principal said he
planned to re-open his school to
day following a heated shouting
match between black students
and white adults Thursday that
had to be ended by police us

A group of 500 white parents,
who met following the incident,
have called for a boycott of lo
cal merchants who expressed
support for the Chatham County
School Board in its desegrega
tion plan.
James Reynolds, principal of
Herschel V. Jenkins High
School, met with black students
who complained they were ex
cluded from student government

jerring blacks and white adults
who had gathered at the deseg
regated school.
About 20 law officers moved
in to quell the disturbance, and
riot gear was ordered to the
scene but never used.
There were no arrests.
The disturbance stemmed
from a Wednesday incident in
which 12 blacks tried to remove
a black student from the princi
pal’s office. A black and a white
student had been sent there for
fighting.
Members of the Concerned
Parents Association called for
the boycott Thursday night
against merchants who had
