And Ex-Gi Speaks Korean Pretty Well

Times : WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 — The fantastic story of Byron Asteriadis of Jamestown, N. Y., who wants to get back in the Army and can’t, has just come to light. It's a classic of Army red tape - and snafu, The 21-year-old former GI has spent five bucks of his own dough to prove that he’s in top shape for active duty. Still the Army won't have him, even though he speaks Korean pretty well and served in Korea two years before. Experts on Byron's case at the Pentagon say they're shocked by the fact that he isn’t on active duty. The Army is crying for men with his qualifications. Two colonels to whom the case history was taken first said it was impossible for him not to be in the Army. Then they looked up some more regulations and said well, maybe it was possible. Anyway, Byron Asteriadis, patriotic American citizen is now broke, working part time as a bell-hop, unable to get a better B job, and hoping only that the g8 Army will unwind its réd tape enough so that he can shoot some Commies. Because of Dependents When the Korean fighting start- § ed Mr. Asteriadis tried to re-enlist ¥ in the Army immediately. He was : turned down because of depend- : ents.
