The figure is up sharply from the 26,800 previously announced for January and more than double the average monthly draft requests during the last seven months of this year. Manpower requests this year ranged as high as 48,000 in April and 45,900 in May. The Pentagon recently said draft calls in 1969 would turn higher by about 3,000 men per month than otherwise would have been expected due to the planned early release of 20,000 Army Reserve and National Guard members who were called earlier this year. Of the February draftees, 32,200 will go to the Army and 1,500 to the Marines.

The Marine Corps, traditionally an all-volunteer outfit, already has taken in some 6,000 draftees this year. U.S.r Saigon (Continued from Page 1) fill the conference will get under way before too long. The South Vietnamese delegation, masterminded by Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky, is pressing the Americans not to compromise on Communist demands for procedures implying recognition of the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front. The Americans tend to be less concerned than either the North or South Vietnamese over status symbols, stressing instead a need to start negotiations to end the war. Qualified sources said the Saigon government feared U.S.

negotiators were anxious to get the talks started before President Johnson leaves the White House, Jan. 20 and might consider procedural concessions that would give the status of a full delegation to the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front. American officials sought to minimize the reports of differences between the U.S. and South Vietnamese delegations. They stressed that the United States will make no deal with North Vietnam on conference procedure unless it is acceptable to Saigon.
