More Girls Needed For Armed Forces Shortage Os Girls Problem iTo Solve NEW YORK, UP —Snappy uniforms and mess sergeants have failed to solve the shortage of girls in the armed forces. - Since the 'Korean war began there has beeh an almost constant drive to get enough girls to fill quotes in the Waves, WAO, WAF and Women Marines. Besides the military minds who have worked on the problem, civilian women advisers have puzzled over a solution. Some of these women, members of the defense advisory committee on women in the service, got together this week at a tea honoring women in uniform. “We’re certainly open to suggestion,” said Mary Gibbons, one of the committee appointed by former defense secretary Gen. George C. Marshall. “We meet four times a year for three days. We don’t 'do any actual recruiting, but we do ! make suggestions for making life in uniform more attractive to girls.” The committee members suggested salad A bars after one of their first inspection trips of various armed forces bases. They felt regular service menus were too starchy for slim figures. Now they’re working with the cosmetic industry to see if a movie on proper makeup and grooming could be made and distributed to women’s training centers. “This is my special project,” said committee member Mrs. John Hay Whitney. "We haven’t worked out all the details. But it seems that something like this would be a booster, to morale as well as appearance.” > J The tea the committee members attended marked the official opening of a display of women’s uniforms. Top designers have worked on these uniforms to make them as flattering as possible. “We emphasized the high, heels and the feminine touches as much as possible in the display,” explained a pretty marine lieutenant. At the moment| approximately 35,500 women in uniform, with WAF’s leading the! three other services. ?‘But we need more.” sighed Lt. Comdr. Elinor Rich, the advisory committee's executive secretary. , “It’s a matter of the public to the “ e <” 't ' I i ■ Thailand Appeals For American Aid Two Appeals Made For Emergency Aid WASHINGTON UP — The United States today gave “urgent and sympathetic” study to two appeals for emergency American arms aid for Thailand, the latest Southeast Asian country to face the menace of Communist guns. Informed sources said the Mutual security agency and state and defense departments were searching through existing awns stocks for weapons that might -be rushed to bolster Thailand’s defenses against Red troops pushing through Laos to the Thai border. Thailand, it was learned, first approached the American embassy in (Bangkok “several days ago”? to seek new deliveries of American weapons. The appeal was underscored here late Tuesday when Thai Ambassador Pole Sarasin called on secretary of state John Foster Dulles. Authorities said Thailand had ■been assured the United States recognized the “danger" of a Communist strike at Thailand and would do everything possible to help meet a challenge by (providing more arms. Thailand particularly wants more weapons for ground forces that would fight in the jungles to .protect the central rice-producing plains. The rapid Red thrust into Laos* toward Thailand indicates to strategists here that the Communists are engaged in a military offensive aimed at eventually conquering all Southeast Asia with its rich tin, tlngsten, rice, rubber and petroleum resources. Red success would point a! .menacing ■ dagger at India and the Middle East. Thailand’s fear of invasion and bids for more he lip came hard on the heels of the new military crisla in Indo-China where the Reds hsms probed ofif and on for seven years. The United States only recently agreed to etep up arms deliveries to Indo-China and to loan large cargo planes to ferry equipment to the battle front in Laos. —4 Logansport Seeks Water Rate Boost INDIANAPOLIS, UP —The City of Logansport petitioned the Indiana Public Service Commission today for a water rate increase and permission to issue >1,800,800 in water works revenue bonds to finance extensions.

J ■•. * / i ‘ ■ 1 London Paper |tits McCarthy Policies 1 Defends Trade With ii Communist China LONDON, (UP) — The Times charged today the policies of Sen. Joseph R« McCarthy, RWfe., on trade with China “would mean, on the trade front, a general state of war.” The newspaper defended British policy of exporting non-strategic materials to Red/ China as consistent with United Nations resolutions. It pointed out there is no blockade of China and British ships of more than 500 tons need licenses to carry cargo to Chinese ports. ( “The idea seems to be gaining; fresh hold in the United States that trade with at Communist country is in itself wrong,” the newspaper said. “This ignores the fact that, in trade, both parties are gainers, and. that the gain in trade with Communist countries may be at least as great to the free countries engaged as to the Communists,” the Times added. “The McCarthy policy, if ohe can dignify it by such a name, would logically lead to the stop-* ping of all trade with the whole of that part of the world that is under Soviet influence, without regard to the strategic or nonstrategic character of the goods carried,” the Times said The Times said British exports to -China consist mainly of textile machinery and woolen* goods ..
