Senators were told yesterday that a new bill calling for thel fraining of teen age youths, now being prepared by the Department of Defense, will be sent to Con gress shortly. Opposition sprang up at once, as 't has on past occasions when Pres ident Truman recommended en actment of such legislation as a ieferrent to aggression. Even some former advocates of ‘uch a program—popularly called UMT — oppose it now on the ~ rounds that the nation cannot af ord it at a time when it is mo bilizing for the Korean fighting. ~Word that a UMT bill is being “rafted at the Defense Department ““me from Rear Admiral H.

The officers, all men, will be on activé duty by Oct. 6, the Army said. They are being crdered up for 21 months, subject to change by Congress, unless relieved soon The- Army said simultaneously that it will recall involuntarily 1,- 582 male officers of the active and inactive medical, denial, vet erinary and medical service corps. This call-up will affect officers up to the grade of major in the medical and medical service corps, lieutenant colonel in the dental corps and major in the veterinary corps. The company grade officers be ing recalled include 1,808 cap tains and 6,054 lieutenants in 16 arms and services. They will come from all parts of the country. This was the first Army call up of individual officers who are not members of the organized re serve. A week ago it announced the recall to active duly of 62,000 reserve enlisted men, to report in September and October. The Army did not say so, but presumably the officers being call ed up will help to fill the officer complements of National Guard and organized reserve units being summoned to active duty. The Army breakdown of where the officers will come from in cluded: Southern Quota Third Army (Georgia, Ten nessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida)—2o7 captains, 692 lieutenants, 76 medical, 33 dental, 7 veterinary and 78 medical serv service officers. In the services—such branches as adjutant general, chemical, ordnance, quartermaster, finance, security and intelligence—the age limit for second lieutenents is 38, for first lieutenants 41 and for captains 45, Officers overage for combat arms may be ovdered to active duty in the service branch es. All officers selected will be or dered to the nearest Army post for physical tests, the Army said. If found physically fit, they will be given 21 days to wind up their private affairs unless they are willing to report sooner, The Army said it anticipates that one-third of the total group will report by Sept. 22 and an- CAP Schedules . .

Rather it contemplates the } training—mental and physical as well as military — of all able youths.| In time of emergency, the theory then is that they would require less pasic training. Senator Gurney ( R.-S.D.), for mer Armed Services Committee chairman, was one of UMT’s past backers who said he does not favor it now. He summed up his position to a reporter this way: «UMT would call for training perhaps 1,000,000 youths each year who 4re 18 years old and would cost between four and tive billion dollars. It would also require 250,000 officers and men to train them.

Voluntary Basis The Army said that in selecting officers in the medical, dental and veterinary corps it will make every effort to obtain them on a volun tary basis. “The quotas assigned to the armies insure a fair and equitable distribution throughout the nation, and the total number is consistent with the national security,” the Army said in a statement. It said Army commanders, un less otherwise ordered by the de partment of the Army, will not call up: 1. Reserve medical officers who have not completed a year’s in terneship. 2.

Chapman, Associate Dean of the University of Georgia College of Agriculture, told a group of Athens businessmen last night that poultry experts believe Geor gia may pass Delaware in another year or two as a broiler producing state and that the over-all poultry industry in Georgia within the next few years may be worth $100,000,- 000 annually. ! Chapman spoke to a group of business and civic leaders, calledl together by the Athens “Get It| Done Club” in the interest of ex panding facilities of Georgia Eggs, Inc. Howard Benson is chairman of the club, and John Mauldin is manager of Georgia Eggs, Inc. In citing progress in the broiler industry, Chapman called atten tion to the lack of development of egg productiorsin this section, “We haven't scratched the sur face in producing eggs for Geor gia markets,” he emphasized. “We don’t produce in this section 1-10 of the eggs sold in Athens,” he said. The agricultural leader also said that a very small percentage of the eggs sold on Atlanta markets are produced in’ Georgia. Using the month of June as an illustra tion, Chapman said that 55,000 cases of eggs were sold on the At lanta market during that month, but less than 3,000 cases of these eggs were produced in -the state. Fifty-three thousand came in from out of the state, 20,000 of these from Illinois alone. “To compete with these areas it is going to be necessary to put top quality eggs on the market here,” Dean Chapnran observed. “It will be necessary to pick up the eggs often from farmers, transport them in refrigerated trucks, grade them carefully, pack them in attractive cartons and then deliver them to the market in good condition.” Unlimited Opportunity Pean Chapman said that mar keting opportunities for high qual- l ity eggs are almost unlimited. He | pointed out that Florida is the | fastest growing state east of the Rocky Mountains, having gained 45 percent in population during the last census period, and that one Florida buyer offered to buy all of the eggs and more than Georgia Eggs, Inc., can handl 2 | with present facilities. In answer to questions as to whether or not local farmers would be able to increase poultry flocks substantially, Dean Chap man stated that there has already been an increase of over 300 per cent of layings hens on farms in this Northeast Georgia area in the past year. He said that more than 200,000 pullets are beginning to be laying now in comparison with only 59,000 a year ago.

Prince Baudoin Takes Over As Belgium Ruler BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug. 11 —(AP) — Crown Prince Baudoin today became ruler of all the Bel gians in the place of his father, King Leopold 111. He took the oath as Prince Royal in parilament, where several hours earlier the Senate and Chamber of Deputies in joint session had given final approval to the bill’ transferring Leopold’s royal power to his 19-year-old son. The final vote was 349 in fa vor with eight abstentions. This was the final act in a royal drama that began with Leopold’s banishment in 1945 for his action in surrendering to the invading German armies in World War Two. The country was brought to the brink of civil war by strikes and violence stemming from the di vision among the Belgian people (Continued on Page Two). CHURCHILL URGES CREATION OF UNIFIED EUROPEAN ARMY By JOSEPH E. DYMAN i STRASBOURG, France, Aug. 11 | —(AP)—Winston Churchill urged | today immediate creation of a unified European Army to defend | the West against Russia. He said | the West still has a breathing space | of about two years which could be | used to prevent a Third World | War. i Britain’s wartime Prime Minis- | ter introduced a formal motion to | the Eurcpean Consultative Assem bly—llower house of the unofficial parliament for a United Western Europe—asking for such an army “subject to proper democratic con trol.” He said the most effective deter rent to war was American superi- l ority in atomic weapons plus Rus sia’s success in building an em pire without committing herself to war. . “The use of this (?tomic) wea pon,” Ch ill sajd, “weoul e B unistions of the &o\%f{‘ oo gime throughout the vast areas of Russia, and the breakdown of all communications and centralized control might well enable the brave Russian peoplet to free themselves from a tyranny far worse than that of the Czor-"” ¥l | 1 U.S. Infantry, Tanks Speeding To Battle Area TOKYO, Saturday, Aug. 12 — (AP)—Red troops last night seized the important port of Pohang on the east coast and fought virtually to the edge of the U .S. airbase to the southeast. The Eighth Army, announcing the fall of Pohang, said the city was in flames as Americans with= drew after a savage night battle. Pohang is 65 air miles north of the main U. S. supply port of Pu san. Small U. S. forces battled in the early morning darkness to save the air field, which is on a spit about six miles southeast of Po hang. U. S. tanks and more infantry were rushing up to the rescue of the air field. Pohang, second only to Pusan it self as a supply port, fell to a sur prise Red drive through undefend ed mountains while the Ameri cans were rolling back the enemy on the extreme southern end of the Korean front. General MacArthur’s headquar ters meanwhile announced that all Communist bridgeheads but one across the Naktong river on the western front had been erased by American units. But this one is important. It is the big one in the Changnyong area, 29 miles southwest of the frontline supply base of Taegu. Reds Hold Ridge The Reds held a ridge only 3% ﬁiles fro the runway when the ustangs had to give up the battle because of darkness. The planes went to other airfields in Korea for the night. As darkness set in, two Ameri can colonels with cooks, clerks and other normally noncombatant Air Force ground personnel dug in for night battle on the field. AP correspondent Hal Boyle at the airfield reported there was no way of knowing how long the bat tle might continue. Earlier Friday afternoon Boyle had reported Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, U. S. Bth Army command er, and Maj. Gen. Earle Partridge, Fifth Air Force commander, vis ited the Pohang field and flew over the battles in a light observa tion plane. Street Battle Inside the flaming port a bloody street vaftle raged. A tough mountain-climbing North Korean force struck after scaling the lofty .peaks to the west of the town. Before Friday dusk American planes flew off the field on 10- minute sorties to make rocket and machine-gun attacks on the Reds. Communist guerrillas were close enough to fire on the field with small arms. At the other extieme of the al lied battleline, the Eighth Army reported Nortll Korean troops were abandoning their Chinju base (Continued On Page Two) FIRE CALL Firemen answered a call this morning about 11:15 to a grass fire around the WRFC transmitter on Ruth St. No damage was incurred.

LEMAY WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—(AP) —Democrats and Republicans ap parently were ready to team up today to ram through the Senate Finance Committee a $3,000,000,- 000 boost in personal income taxes. It means Uncle sam may begin digging deeper into the pockets of over 50,000,000 taxpayers on Octo ber 1. The increases may be as much as 20 percent for many taxpayers. The ecommittee yesterday ap proved unanimously a $1,500,000,~ 000 annual boost in corporation taxes, raising the top levy on cor porate income from 38 per cent to 45, effective as of July 1, 1950, The higher rates thus would ap ply to one-half of 1950 corporate income. New individual and corporate income levies, along with plug ging of tax law loop holes, are the major items in President Tru man’s first installment $5,000,000,- 000 tax increase to help pay for the Korean war and America’s armament against Communist ag gression. Meanwhile, Mr. Truman let it be known that if Congress wants to tack on, extra, a multi-billion dollar excess profits tax aimed at profiteering, he will not object. Senator O’Mahoney — (D-Wyo) said he is ready to make a Senate floor fight for a $,000,000,000 ex cess profits lévy. This would be in addition to the increase in the normal corporation tax rates.
