Fir$t Draft Registrations
Will Be Made On August 16
<
C
WASHINGTON, June 28, —
(UP)-- The first registration
under the new peacetime draft
Will be pn Aug. 16, National De-
fense officials said today.
.'The delay is necessary, they
said, in order to give the pro-
posed 4,000 draft boards through-
oi)t the nation a chance to get
organized.
These officials estimate that
by Aug 30 the first question-
naires will he in the mail to
draft-eligible men in the ID-
through- 25 age group. After
they arc classified, the oldest of
the 1-A's w ill be called up first.
Barring an emergency, how-
ever, nobody will be inducted
before Sept. 22.
Meanwhile, the army, navy
and air force planned to an-
nounce, probably Monday, that
they are throwing open their
ranks to enlistments bv lS-.vear-
olds for one years' service. An
19-year-old can escape the 21-
month draft by enlisting for 12
months and then serving six-
years in the Reserve.
Army Secretary Kenneth ('.
Royall will announce at a Mon-
day press conference how the
army plans to handle the dial-
tees. He is also expected to out-
line a plan fur handling 18-year-
olds that will include some of
the features of the experiment-
al universal military training
unit at Fort Khox, K \
The army will train 110,000
of the one-year enlistees, the
navy 36,0110 and the air force
15,000. The army will increase
in size ironi 548,000 to 837,000,
the navy from -168,000 to GfiG,-
882 and the air force from 382,-
0C0 to 502,000.
Royall clamped the lid on Na-
tional Guard recruiting yester-
day on the ground that the
army hasn't enough money to
pay more men. Those eager to
Escape the draft by volunteer
ing in the Guard had boosted i
its enrollment far over the 341. j
000-man quota during the past
week.
Petroleum experts believe the'
•present shortage may last anotli-!
ei four or five years.

Rejection Slips
Are Apprenticeship
For Young Writers
AUSTIN, Tex.. June 28 The
first 100 rejection slips are
the hardest!
That's the advice to young
writers offered by a University
of Texas graduate student who
wrote his Waster's thesis in
Journalism on "A Survey of the
Free Lance Market."
Delbert McGuire, who is now
doing journalistic work in Fort
Worth, contacted 102 editors
with a questionnaire about the
amount and type of free-lance
materia] used places free-lance
writers in strong competition
with each other for space in the
nation's leading magazines.
Despite that compel lion and
the number of rejection slips
the new writer may receive, he
shouldn't be discouraged. The
writer has to serve an appren-
ticeship in the same manner as
a beginner in any other profes-
sion, McGuire says.
