Study Ending Deferments In National Guard Defense Department i Proposal Is Scored In Many Quarters ’WASHINGTON UP — The defense department is considering eliminating draft deferments for teen-agers who, join the national guard, it was disclosed today. The proposal, made by Dr. John A. Hannah, assistant defense secretary for manpower, has already touched off protests from the national.'guard association and some congressmen, who contend it would cut off the guard’s main source of recruits. At present, youths 17 to IS 1-2 years old are. exempt from the draft if they join a national guard unit. By remaining in the guaid for nine years, they can escape active military duty completely, unless the guard unit it called up in case of a national emergency. The deferment policy, proclaimed by the governors of the individual states, was set uip under th| universal military training Act as an inducement for men to enlist in the national guard. The act also provides, how’ever, that the secretary of defense may end the deferment it he decides there are enough men available to fill the ranks of the national guard without this special inducement. •Hannah, in a recent memorandum Jo the three service secretaries, suggested that the time has cotpe to cut off the exemption for national guardsmen. He pointed out that with nearly 2,000.000 men comirig out of the services with a six-year reserve obligation still to ibe fulfilled, there should be an adequate number of personnel for the guard. ' ' The memorandum, designed as part of a fact-finding survey, drew an “immediate' hostile reaction from national guard circles, and Hannah has now pledged that no action will be taken without further study. Hannah’s proposal has had the effect of underscoring and bringing out into the open basic differences H>etween the national guard and; the defense department over manpower and readiness policy. A, top defense department manpower expert expressed the opinion that the guard would be in a better state of readinness if’ its ranks were composed of trained men filling out their reservist obligations. Because of the limited 1 military training in th e guard, he contended that guard enlisted men have generally been unprepared when called to active duty. FIVE TEACHERS <jo»n<fnyd From Pnse One) candy exists in the second? one in the third and two in the first grade. Due to the increased enrollment in the first grade, the teaching staff will be increased to five if teachers can be employed. the superintendent explained. In the grade and high school, the staff will be increased from 43 tp 46 teachers. The kindergarten will be limited to three teachers and half-day sessions will be continued. Brown said. At the close of school last week, 190 children were enrolled in the kindergarten. In the preschool registration, 152 children enrolled. Brown expects the number to exceed that figure, although all parents were asked to register their children sb that school authorities would have an accurate total to plan arrangements for the opening of the, department next fall. , With the growth in the grades, the senior class of the high school will not be as large as the one graduated last Friday. This year there were 60 graduates and only 55 students are enrolled as seniors; for the September semester. 1 — Blbssedness is promised to the peacemaker, not to the conqueror. • ‘ If yoy have something to sell of rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.

Film Production Is Cut In Hollywood Film Makers Sit Out 3-D Panic HOLLYWOOD. UP —Hollywood has slowed to almost the tempo of a ghost town while film makers sit out the 3-D panic. Having decided that what's wrong with movies is the photography, the Cinema City has set-l tied down to changing all thevcameras and the screens. Film production in the world’s cinema capital has been slashed almost in while the studios wait for the public., to decide whether it likes wide screens, tall screens, 3-D, round screens, no screens or just those little television screens at home. Warner Studio, waiting for returns on its 3-D “House of Wax,” locked the front door and hasn't done a lick of work in ithree weeks. The studio, however, plans to shoot 23 pictures within the next 18 months —a cut. of 40 percent over the last 18. MGM, the largest studio, cut back to 34 movies as compared with 54 during the last 18 month period. Paramount plans "roughly 20” within the next year and a half; Twentieth Century Fox announced 20 wide-screen films to be released beginning in September through 1954. RKO has -sfx planned for the next few months. “What will we do during the next 18 months? We don't know what we'll do during the iiext 18 days,” \ wailed a spokesman at RKO, run by the unpredictable Howard Hughes. Studios are whacking high-pric-edstars off their payrolls as fast as option time comes up, with luminaries including June Allyson and Jeanne Crain free lancing for the first time. The tumbleweed isn’t blowing down the streets of Beverly Hills yet, but many a mansion is shuttered. Whene are the “movie” stars? — in television or at Las Vegas, busier on the nightclub beat than they were in pictureville. Jane Powell, Caesar Romero, George Raft, Van Johnson, Marge and Gower Champion are among those coining cash in the plushlined saloons. Even the Hollywood reporters have to go to TV studios or Las Vegas to interview filmsters; there aren’t many movie sets to cover these days. There are 31 TV movies shooting in town, but only 18 theatrical films before the cameras today. Os those, four are grade-A movies. Trade In a Good Town—Decaturl

Charles M. Dawson State FHA Director INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Charles M. Dawsoa, former Indiana Lieu-tenant-governor, was sworn in today as Indiana director of the federal housing administration.

Gloomy Views On Red Peace Policies Latent Statement Viewed Gloomily MOSCOW UP —Most observers here today found Pravda’s 4,000world statement Soviet foreign policy left little for them to cheer about. They were concerned about the Communist Party official newspaper’s reaction to President Eisenhower’s cajll for a meeting of the Big Three western meeting at Bermuda this months Pravda] devoted its entire front page Sunday to Riel statement, its first reaction to the recent speech of Briish prime minister Winston Churchill on the urgency of 'a meeting of world leaders and Mr. Eisenhower’s subsequent proposal of the Big Three meeting which excluded the Soviet Union. Pravda's statement was believed caused more by the' Bermuda con ference than by Churchill’k proposal itself. Observers believed Soviet reaction toward Churchill might have been much milder if he had not gone along with Mr. Eisenhower on the Bermuda project. One of the developments which did not surprise observers was Pravda’s objection to Churchill’s suggestion of a new “Locarno” treaty. The original ,Locarno pact of 1925 was considered as designed to give Germany a free hand in the East at Russia’s expense. ] The observers Said the Russians were bound to be angered when reminded of the post World War I treaty which started a train of (events that led to Munich and the exclusion' of the Soviet Union from East Europe. And now. some diplomats said, It appeared that the Russians, though very polite toward Churchill, had old suspicions revived that Britain and the United States may try to consolidate Western Europe, a move which would organize Western Germany into, a new alliance against the Soviet Union. J At the same time, the observers Said, the Soviet Union’s insistence on the unification of Germany

The U. S. battleship New Jersey and the British “flat-top" H M S Ocean teamed up so hit Communist fortifications shielding the coastal city of Chinnampo and the North Korean capital of Pyongyang. Sea shelling of the Red positions lasted more t|han three hours as a follow-up of a combined AngloAmerican bomber raid on supply lines and depots south of Pyongyang. . When the “Big J,” which had shelled the east coast port of Wonsan, turned its guns on Chinnampo’s fortifications, it marked only the fourth time since the start of the war that the west coast had been hit by 16-inch shells. Eighth army spokesmen refused to give details of the Chinese Communist buildup; after announcing the “People’s Army’s" so called “volunteers” had slightly increased their armies of more than 1,000,000 men. They said, however, the Chines? are using less than 50 per cent of their troops—only seven of the 1$ Chinese armies in Korea—in the battlefront, while only two of North Korea's six corps are fighting. Eighth army intelligence officers noticed the increase at the start of the year. They estimated the
Chinese now have about 263.000 men on the 155-mile .front with some 750,000 in reserve. Eighty Chinese attacked two Allied outposts pear Kumwha on the central front but Allied defenders hurled them back after almost four hours of fighting.
