October <, Major McBride said. Antiaircraft and guided mlssilp units will train at Fort Bliss, armored units at Fort Knox, and all other units at Fort Leonard Wood. Mcßride explained that youths in the 17 to 18*4 year age category who desire systematic plan ning of their six months of active duty training should endeavor to be included in the October quota from Indiana because the second active duty training period will not begin until next January. "Because the quotas for each training period will be limited." Major Mcßride declared. "The early volunteers will have a distinct advantage over men who wait until later in that they wUI know immediately when they will go on active duty. The others will be sent to training camps to fill later quotas." Provisions of the law that apply to youths in this age category set out that after enrolling in an army reserve unit, they must go on active duty for-six months.

Youths in this age bracket who are enrolled in high school, how;ever. and who enlist in the army reserve, will not be called upon to verve the six months active duty tour until they have graduated or until after they have reached their 20th birthday, whichever is earlier. ; Meanwhile, they will be getting in i their army reserve time. i The law also provides for a sixj year volunteer enlistment plan for men in the to 27 year group. i After joining the army reserve. 1 these volunteers may go on active I duty for two years at any time before they receive their draft call. During the other four years, they serve three years tn an active reserve unit and one year in a standby or inactive reserve status. Youths in the 17 to 1814 year category also may select this plan, thereby shortening their mandatory army reserve obligation from I 7*4 to 6 years. Volunteers under either plan may obtain enlistment from the commanding officer of the army reserve unit they-elect to join in their home town, Maj. Mcßride said. The forms also will be available at army reserve regional offices and sub-offices throughout the state. Implementation of the sfx-month active duty program calls for the processing of 5,000 trainees in October. Os this total, 1,073 youths from Indiana and other nearby states will be sent to Fort Leonard Wood for basic training and lesser numbers will go to Fort Bliss and Fort Knox for their antiaircraft and armored training, respectively. The volunteers will be kept together during this phase of their training and they will be instructed by the highest qualified officers and enlisted personnel. The new' act makes a reserve obligation mandatory but provides for different categories of active duty tours and reserve service. MYSTERY MAN IS (Continued From Page One) tions himself. There was plenty the three men had to catch up on. They didn't even know that Dwight D. Eisenhower was President of the U.S. But they did know' they didn’t like Communism. They all said, according to the American informant. they were ready to fight the Reds "tooth and nail.” Cumish. who was very ill, said little, but out of all their stories came a tale of living for days and days on "sauerkraut soup and black bread.” All three were kept in separate jail; Arid mefc-enly recently when they were informed their release was imminent.Both the Americans told of being placed in solitary confinement, with Cumish relating the story of spending 18 months in his prison’s “black hole.” He was charged with spreading “capitalistic propa■ganda" throughout the jail. Hopkins claimed he became so despondent that he made two attempts at suicide —once by jumping out of a second floor window head first and once by trying to choke himself to death. The mysterious stranger told U. 1 S. officials he was picked up in • Vienna by the Russians while he was minding his own business.

Sen. Langer Lashes Out At Eisenhower Lashes Favoritism For Private Power WARSAW, Ind. (INS) — The ghost of Teapot Dome walked again today. Its impetus came from a speech by Senator William E. Langer (R N. D.), before the national convention of the Prohibition party at Camp Mack near Warsaw Monday. Senator Langer said the refusal of presidential assistant Sherman Adams to disclose his part in the Dixon-Yates TV A agreement was “one ot' the most disgraceful acts any public official has committed since the days of Albert B. Fall, who. as a member of the cabinet under President Harding, was sent to the penitentiary in the Teapot Dome scandal.” Langer also assailed President Eisenhower frontally, saying he had “lined up with the private power interests against the farmers and small public-owned municipal power plants.” He charged that Ike’s campaign promises for public power, rural electrification, farm crop parity and Taft-Hartley law amendments were in effect a “deceitful swindle” because the President had failed to carry them out. Dr. Steigmeyer Is Hero During Wreck Newspaper accounts tell of the heroism of Dr. David Steigmeyer, Ann Arbor. Mich., son of Mr. and Mrs. Clem Steigmeyer, Fort Wayne, following the Pennsylvania train wreck recently at Bucyrus, 0.. w-hen 25 persons were hurt.

Milk Production May Be Expanded Forecast Is Made By Ag Department WASHINGTON (INS) — Officials believe that milk production may be expanding again by the end of thia year or early 195(1 as a result of more favorable prices and the large feed supply in prospect. This opinion is expressed in the agriculture department’s current report on the dairy situation, along with a forecast that consumption of all dairy products this, year may be a little above the 1954 rate of 699 pounds per person. The’ entire report tends to bear out earlier claims by agriculture secretary Ezra Tait Benson and others that the whole picture in dairying has improved substantially since price supports on butter, cheese, and dry milk were reduced on April 1. 1954. Here are some of the items in the report supporting that contention : 1. Milk prices in July and August were above average in relationship to feed prices for the first time in those months since 1952. . 2. Retail prices for fluid milk, butter and cheese are a little above a year earlier, while prices for evaporated milk and ice cream are slightly lower. 3. For 1955 as a whole, milk production will at least equal the 123 and one half billion pounds of last year. “With the large feed supplies in prospect, and more favorable price relationsllfps for dairying. production of milk may be expanding by the end of 1955 or early 1956.” 4. Consumption of milk and most other dairy products has been above a year earlier and is well above the record low of 688 pounds per capita in 1953. 5. Government purchases for price support purposes have been

running about 30 per cent less than a year earlier, and Increased donations to both foreign and domestic recipients have helped reduce stocks in the hands of the commodity credit corporation to less than half what they were at this time last year. By the end of this marketing year—March 31. 1956—the report said government owned stocks of butter, cheese and dry milk may be smaller than at any time since early 1953.
