Truman And Cabinet Talk
For 50,000 Forseen
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.— (AP)—A call for more than
50.000 draftees in November is expected to be the next
maijor step in the Army’s buildup of manpower.
With the end of the Korean conflict not yvet in sight and
increase in American troop strength in Germany under
nsideration, a call of at least such proportions is consid
ed highly likely.

to give the Army 100,000 inductees by the end of October,

Male students receiving notices
under the draft law passed last
month may be deferred, Universi
tv officials said this week.
Three conditions must be met
by the student, however. He must
have been in college for the year
previous, must be in the upper
50 per cent of his class, and re
turning to school in the fall.
Upon receipt of his draft notice,
the student sholild go to the dean
of men’s office and state his case.
This office will then send a letter
to the student’s draft board if the
three eonditions are passed.
The student may be deferred
only for the scholastic year, or
until he finishes college.
Registrar Walter N. Danner, jr.
said this week that he believes
freshmen entering for the first
time this fall could also be de
terred if they had completed pre
liminary enrollment by August 1

Price Of Retail
Foods On Decline
WASHINGTON, Au%.l 25.—(AP)
- Retail food prices have fallen
0.3 percent since July 31, the Bu
reau of Labor ztatistics reported
today.
This tapering-off report on food
follows a July %5 cost of llving
index . which showed almost
record advance for the early sum=
ner,
The Bureau estinrated that the
retail food price Index for 56 large
cities on August 15 was 209.0—
figuring the 1035-39 period as
normat-or 100, That index was 0.8
percent below July 31 and 0.5 per=

The 209 index was about two
percent above June 15, before the
Korean conflict, and about 3.5 per

It would follow up an increase
of 47,000 announced by the Army
vesterday in the number of en
listed army reservists to be called
involuntarily to active duty be
tween now and November 10.
The additional enlisted reservists
to be ordered to duty are indivi
duals who are not members of
organized reserve corps units. The
quota announced yesterday brings
to 109,000 the total of such re
servists facing a call to duty
whether or not they want it.
In addition, the army has pre
viously announced that 8,432 in
dividual reserve officers of the
grade of captain or lower are be
ing ordered to duty. These are
officers not assigned in organized
units. »
The army buildup also includes
an undisclosed number of reserve
gxnitts smaller than divisions, four
National %m'r 'd .divisions and two
‘National Guard regimental com
bat teams.
In announcing the new call for
individual enlisted reservists, the
army said that age limits will be
19 through 35, except for some
specialists in the technical and
administrative services.
The enlisted reservists will come
from both the volunteer and in
active reserve. Priority will be
determined by the number of de
pendents each has and the need
for their military skills.
Of the 62,000 enlisted reservists
covered by a previously announced
call, 32,000 already have received
orders.
The total of 77,000 still to be
ordered to duty will be called up
in four groups, as follows: 31,000
to report for active duty between
Sept. 15 and 30; 13,000 to report
between Oct. 2 and 15; 29,000 to
report between Oct. 10 and 25;
4,000 to report between Nov. 1 and
10.
The last group will consist of
reservists who have had less than
one year of active duty. They
will be drawn from throughout the
nation. -

The new draft law will not af

ner predicted today.
“We expect enrollent to be about
what it was in spring quarter,” he
said, “That is, 5000-5500.”
This is a drop of almost-a thou
sand from last fall’s total, he said,
but will be brought about by the
two large 1950 graduating classes.
“Some 2,200 students will have
been graduated from the Univers
ity,” he explained, “and an aver=
age freshman class is only 1100.”
As for the draft, Danner did not
think it wolild take students who
were entering in the Fall, and stu
dents already having a year or
more could be deferred. “Also,
freshmen who completed entrance
preparation by August 1 are eli~
gible for deferment, as far as I cah
gather,” he added.
Around 2,000 veterans will still
be on hand, and a 4-1 ratio of
men to women will prevail again,

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORCIA OVER A CENTURY
ATHENS, CA,, FRIDAY, AUCUST 25, 1950,
Attorney General McGrath-told
reporters they “talked the W‘
situation over thoroughly,” dis
cussing “all the different angles.”
Asked if seizure papers have
been drafted, he repeated, “you
will have to talk to the President
about what he is going to do.”
In respense to questions, Me-
Grath said another possible strike~
stopping move, other than seizure,
would be to seek a court order
against a walkout. But he empha=
sized that he was speaking of pos=
sibilities.
Other administration officials,
unquotable by name, said there
was little prospect of an injunc
tion attempt unless the workers
refused to stay on the job under
government operation.
While the cabinet was in session,
railroad trainmen and conductors
sent to the White House a denial
that they had broken any pledge
when they called a strjke for next
Monday.
Mr. Truman told a news confer
ence yesterday that the strike call
issued by the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen and the Order ‘of
Railway Conductors late Wednes
day ~— was put out within an hour
after he had been assured by both
management and unions that there
would be no walkout.
3 Union’s Telegram :
' The unions’ telegram to the
President this morning said
“We wish to personally advise
you that at the concluding confer
ence presided over by Doctor
Steelman, in the east wing of the
White House fron# 3 to 4 p. m,
Wednesddy, AuguSt 28, 1950; no
mention whatsoever was made re
garding the calling of any nation
wide strike, and therefore any
statement to the effect that we
had broken our pledge is one hun
dred per cent false.”
It was signed “respectfully” by
W. P. Kennedy, president of the
Trainmen, and R. O. Hughes, pres
ident of the Conductors.
The strike call was issued after
the collapse of White House spon
sored peace talks directed by Dr.
John R. Steelman, assistant to the
President. i :
In advance of the cabinet meet
ing a prominent administration of
ficial said seizure of the rail in
dustry—either today or tomorrow
—probably will be the President’s
method of dealing with the crisis.
“] don't believe the President
can do anything else but seize,”
said this official, asking that his
name not be used. “The only ques
tion is when.”
Avert Strike
He added, however, that he ex
pected seizure before Saturday
night. This would avoid costly
strike preparations by the rail
roads, it was explained, and possi~
ble advance curtailments in service
at a time when the railroads are
moving troops and supplies for the
Korean fighting.
The official — known to have
attended a number of White House
meetings on the situation — said
the President has two other cours
es besides selzure, but they are
unlikely possibilities.
~ One would be to apply for a
court injunction to forbid the
walkout of 300,000 trainmen and
conductors. But the legal ground
for such action is not settled.
The other would be a personal
appeal from Mr, Truman for the
unions and carriers to speed a
settlement, But the wage-hour dis
pute has dragged on now since
March 1949 and it is hardly like
ly that any such appeal could e~
sult in an agreement before 6 a.
m., Monday (local time), the strike
deadline.
Furthermore, President Truman
probably wouldn't be disposed to
make any such appeal to the un
jons, the officlal said, because of
the way Mr. Truman feels the
labor groups have treated him.
At a newsconference yesterday,
Mr, Truman was plainly irked at
the unions for having assured him
there would be mno nationwide
strike and, only an hour later, is
suing their all-out strike call. He
said he had recelved the no-strike

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 25.— (AP)—Russia’s Jakob A.
Malik is expected to throw the explosive Formosan ques
tion into Security Council discussions today.
However, the anti-Communist countries, led by the
United States, are determined to keep the Council’s eye on
the Korean ball.
Red China’s Foreign Minister
Chou En-Lai geve Malik an open
ing yesterday by sending cables to
him and to U. N. Secretary Gen
eral Trygve Lie demanding the
ouster of American forces from the
island now controlled by the Chi
nese Nationalists. The cables also
announced Communist intentions
to “liberate’ Formosa from “Uni
ted aggressors.”
The only American force in that
area is the Seventh Fleet, which
President Truman sent June 27
to prevent an invasion by Com
munist forces from the mainland.
At the same time Truman appeal=-
ed to Nationalist leader Chiang
Kai-shek to cease bombings of the
mainland. He said his aim was to
neutralize Formosa and prevent
the /Korean war from spreading.
Coincident with Chou’s cable to
Lake Success, a Chinese govern-
ment spokesman in Canton, China,
accused Britain’s armed forces in
Hong Kong of carrying out a “de
liberate” plan to “encroach upon
Chinese sove eignty.”
British forces were charged with
five violations of Chinese air, ter
ritory and territorial waters since
July 6. All the incidents were
minor but the charges were consid
ered significant inasmuch as Brit
ain is negotiating with the Peip-~
ing regime for opening of diplo
rhatic relations. i
Diplomats here believe Malik
will use Chou’s appeal as his ace
card in Russia’s month-long strug
gle to split the United Nations’
solid front on the Korean issue, to
pin an ‘“aggressor” label on the
United States, and to link the
question of Korea with that of
China. .
Informed sources here have pre
dicted that Malik would not give
up the presidency of the council,
which he holds only for the month
of August, without one supreme
effort to accomplish these aims.

Street Signs
Installed In
Residential Area
The wooden street markers re
cently placed along residential
streets in Athens were given to
the city by the Athens Exchange
Club.
These markers are the results of
a civie project started by the Ex
change Club last year when 36
markers were placed in the down
town business district.,
The Exchange Club raised S7OO
to pay for ‘the present markers at
an amusement stand at the Agri
culture Fair held here last Octo~
ber.
All of the markers in the resi
dential and business sections were
installed by the city. |
Councilman’ Roger Hazen as‘
chairman of the public works com
mittee of Mayor and Council pre-l
sented & resolution authorizing
placing of concrete markers
throughout the residential section
of the city, and it was passed by
Council. This came after approv
al of acceptance of some Exchange
Club signs for each ward.
The concrete posts are now be
ing placed on the intersections
where Exchange Club signs have
not been placed, and it is provided
that the wooden signs will be re
placed by concrete markers when
necessary.
Councilman Hazen expressed
appreciation of the city for the
Exchange Club’s civie mindedness
in the street sign project. He also
said he believes the long range
plan of having all intersections
marked, through uSage of con
crete markers as they are needed,
will benefit the citizens and visi

UN Planes Blast Battle Area
TOKYO, Saturday, Aug. 26.— (AP) —A major battle
over a new road to Taegu city broke out Friday in the Ke
rean central warfront mountains. ~
It was being fought between Allied South Koreans and
the invading Reds 12 to 25 miles north and east of T k
Counter-attacking South Koreans regained mmm
lost Friday morning. The first blows had been dealt by &
forward force of 6,000 troops and tanks, prodding before
a 20,000-man Red force.
' It was the Communists’ fifth
try of the week to open a road
‘down from- the mountains to the
largest city less in the Allied south
eastern corner of Korea.
An Allied spokesman said late
Friday the South Korean Sixth
Division was holding back Reds
who drove southward toward
Yongchon from positions east of
the Kumwha. The Reds turned to
this route from the “Bowling Al
ley” corridor where they failed
four times in five days to crash
through—at a cost of 3,500 men.
Kumwha is 12 miles north of
Taegu.
l Yongchon is linked to Taegu by
I'a major road. The battleline was
| astride a main-highway and rail
i road running from Uisong to
1 Yongchon., The road passes
through flat country good for tank
fighting, south of the mountains.
All through Friday, the 62nd day
of a war that has already claimed
more than 100,000 lives, Allied
bombers bombers and fighters
i beat at the 10 divisions the North
| Koreans have around the whole
120-mile battle perimeter.
From the east coast to Taegu
and south to coastal Chinju Allied
planes bombed, strafed and rock
eted the Red troops. Fire bombs
were heaped on supplies behind
the lines and on installations and
airfields.
The main fighting raged east of
the blood-soaked “Bowling Alley”
corridor near Kumwha. The blood
iest combat was around Chongno,
25 miles north of Taegu and seven
miles east of Kunwi, spreading the
combatants over a blazing 12-mile
front.
On the Sea of Japan coast 25
miles east of this battle, North
Koreans stabbed down from Yang
dok and shoved back a South Ko
rean regiment before Kikye, nine
| miles northwest of Pohang port.
The South Koreans dropped back
a mile and a half before a tank-led
smash by the Reds.
l The east coastal battle was
touched off by a twin South XKo
‘ rean attack to the north from Kig
ye and the coastal Hunghae area
immediately north of Pohang. Two
South Korean divisions—the Capi
tol and Third—jumped off in the
offensive. 2
East Build-Up
On the extreme southern front
between Chinju and Masan port,
27 air miles west of Pusan, the
No. 1 Allied port, two Red divi
sions appeared to have built up
for a sweep to the east.
American artillery and mortar
fire stalled an estimated 300 Reds
in front of the U. S. 25th Division’s
35th Regiment, battling in the hills
west of Masan.
Earlier Friday the Masan front
blazed with tank-led combat. The
fighting got so close that hand
grenades were used by American
negro infantrymen of the 24th
Regiment. Principal action was in
the oft-exchanged saw-tooth hills
of Sobuk near Tundok, 10 miles
} northwest of Masan,

Jail Release
For Bridges
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25 —
(AP)—Harry Bridges—by order of
the Ninth U. S. Court of Appeals—=
is to be released from jail, proba=
bly today.
In a two-to-one decision late
yesterday, the court ordered that
the CIO longshore leader be freed.
It reversed an August 5 federal
court ruling revoking his $25,000
bail. .
In April, Bridges was convicted
of having lied—-by swearing that
| he never was a communist—to ob=
tain citizenship in 1945. He was
born in Australia.
He was freed on bond pending
appeal from that conviction.
Three weeks ago, U. 8. prosecu~
tor F. Joseph Donchue demanded
that Bridges’ bond be revoked and
he be jailed as “a threat to the
security of the United States.”
Federal Judge George B. Harris
agreed, and sent the union presis
dent behind bars. : e
Donohue argued that Bridges”
speeches opposing U. S. intervens
tion in the Korean War followed
the Comm;ml:t line.
The majority opinion desecribed
Bridges’ jailing as “novel and
startling” EORSR P B
“Theére is no showing” said
Judges William Healy and Wil
liam Orr, “that Bridges has in the
present position committed any
recognizable crime, or that he has
himself counseled or advocated
sabotage or sought to foment
strikes or . the establishment of
picket lines on the waterfront.”
In dissenting, Judge Clifton
Mathews cited trial Judge Harris’®
statement that the Communist
party is a conspiracy and members
of the party “are parties to that
“conspiracy.”
“The danger here ted is
not a fanciful one,m“r
