PANMUNJOM, Feb. 1 (U.R)—The
Communists demanded Friday a
sharp reduction in the proposed
post-armistice inspection of Ko-
rea in a move that could shield
long stretches of the Yalu river
from neutral observation.
The Reds proposed that the
number of ports of entry for each
side—which would be open to in-
spection by neutral teams super-
vising armistice terms—be cut
from 12 to three. They also de-
manded that the number of in-

New Plan To Start
UMT Takes Shape
WASHINGTON. Feb. I (U.R)—A
new plan to start o "real" univer-
sal military training prugram
within a few months took shape
Friday in the House.
Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.)
of the House Armed Services com-
mittee advanced the plan after
Draft Director Lewis B. Hcrshcy
testified that enough men 18
through 23 now are available to
meet draft calls and to sturt UMT :
on a small scale at the same time.
Hcrshcy said this is true de-
spite the fact that about 430,000
men will be inducted into the
armed force*—either by the draft
or voluntarily—during the seven
months ending June 30.
Vinson will submit his latest
proposal before the Armed Servi-
ces committee at closed sessions
starting Monday. The group fin-
ished publl* hearings on UMT
Thursday and Vinson said he
hopes tt will approve a hill and
send it to the House by the end
of next week. He hopes the bill
will come up in the House late
this month.
Under Vinson's plan UMT would
operate, at a slowly uccclcrnting
pace, side-by-side with the draft
About 5,000 men would be induct-
ed monthly at the start. They
Would go into the ready reserve
after six months training.
The heart of the plan is a pro-
hibition against calling the train-
ees to active military duty qftcr

concent of Congress.

dent Truman would be expected

Lightning Strikes
Is False Rumor
Rumors of Mrs. Taicy Thomas
being struck by lightning this
morning were false.
Mrs. Thomas was having n tele-
phone conversation with her hus-
band this morning when it all
started.- Mrs. Thomas said her
hands were wet when she picked
up thc phone, and thc lightning
knocked thc phone out of her hand
onto thc floor. She said her hus-
band kept talking, but she was
afraid to pick thc phone up again.
Mr. Thomas thinking the lightning
hud struck his wife immediately
called for an ambulance. Mrs.
Thomas said finally she picked up
thc phone and talked to her hus-
band.
Mrs. Thomas said sparks flew
from the phone when thc light-
ning struck. When asked how she
felt, she replied, "I Just have an
car ache, that's all!"
Mexican Workers May Be
Allowed On U. S. Farms
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1 (U.R)-,
The U. S. Congress looks favor-
ably on a new agreement between
Mexico and thc United States tor
contracting Mexican “braccros" to
work on American farms, Sen.
Dennis Chavez (D., N.M.) said Fri-
day.
But he insisted that congress-
men believe that any new agree-
ment must “do Justice to both na-
tions." Thc present agreement be-
tween tlic two governments ex-
pire* Feb. 11.
Only sub-freezing temperatures,
snow or rain will keep thc 33-
year- old revivalist from preach-
ing an outdoor sermon at what he
hopes will be "one of the most
historic meetings of our genera-
tion."
Graham is conducting a one-
month Washington crusade in an
effort to “re-awaken" the spiritual
conscience of the capital.
His sponsors hope 23,000 per-
sons will turn out for thc one-
hour Capitol Plaza rally—more
than double the number that
armory where he has held nigh
and Sunday services for tba last
three weeks.
President Truman and Vice
President Barkley both have re-
ceived invitations. Neither has
said yet that he will come.
But scores of senators, congress-
men and other government offi-
cials, as well as thousands of lesser
federal workers, are expected to
join in the afternoon meeting.
Graham has minced no words in
his pulpit denunciations of "thc
sins of Washington.” •

serve ready to rush to any point
where armistice violations might
be reported.
Asks To Reconsider
Thc Allies asked thc Reds to
“reconsider" their stand on thc
number of ports of entry.
The Reds also objected to thc
UN proposal that neutral teams
be allowed to roam in a radius of
30 mile* from each port of entry.
Thc Reds suggested no plan of
their own but said thc UN area
was too large.
UN officials said that under the
Red proposa], thc Allies would be
able to observe Communist activi-
ty only at three ports and called
that a “serious problem."
Name* Inspection Team
Thc UN meanwhile proposad
that Switzerland, Sweden and
Norway be named to form the
neutral inspection teams.
The Communists made no im-
mediate comment on the sugges-
tion and did not express any
choice of their own of neutral na-
tions to supervise an armistice.
Thc suggestion came as Allied
and Communist staff officers com-
pleted their initial joint review of
thc detailed UN blueprint for
armistice supervision.

"Thc best yet," "better than
any musical 1 have ever seen,”
"Ken Bennett always presents
good shows,” attendors at last
night's East Ti xas Revue remark-
ed when the final curtain fell on
one of thc most outstanding mus-
icals ever to be presented in
Gladcwuter.
This year’s show was packed
with new music, comedy, and
lovely girls.
"Thc Roaring Twenties," first
Scene, consisted of songs, and
dance numbers rendered by mem-
bers of a very talented cast. So-
loist Jo Ann Scnlcs and dancers
Ann Brown, Joy Chambers, Mary-
lu Watson, Betty Jane Simmons
and Carolyn Vernon presented "I
Wouldn't Do It Again."
Milly Edmonds stole thc first
scene with her dance and song
"Charleston."
Also highlighting scene onc was
Nclda Neale and her version of
“Flaming Mamie."
Evcyin Monsingo, who is known
for her dancing ability, proved
again that she knows how and can
take thc spotlight when she danc-
ed tu Uh. turn <4 "Let- Take till
Night Boat" accompanied by a
voice cmscmblc.
Danny Stucbcr sang “Where
Have I Met You Before" followed
thc finale of scene onc "Make
Music.”
"Wo Are the Indians” sang
Rosemary Bruce, Jo Bethea and
Bill Neal. This clever act was
composed of Jokes pertaining to
local people and can probably be
called thc best act in the show.
Five pretty ladies modeled thc
latest style creations to thc tunc
of "There Is no Onc Lovelier
Than You" sung by Danny Stcu-
bcr.
Scene four. “Hang Out the
Stars” was beautiful. Danny Steu-
bcr and Rosemary Bruce, singers,
and dancers Carolyn Vernon, Joy
Chambers, Ann Brown, Marylu
Watson, and Linda Hackott held
thc audience spell bound In this
—the prettiest scene In thc show.
Everybody went countrified in
scene four with Bob Pate singing
“Gonna Serenade My Gal To-
night" and Merry Ann HoUtak,
Buddy Stowe and Merry Jayne
Holltak presenting “Sunbonnct
Bally and Overall Jolwcy."
Nclda Neale again proved a
wonderful performer when she
appeared "all dressed up" with her
suitcase and informed everyone
that she was "Off to Holy wood."
Howard Dunagan and thc chor-
us sang "Sing Your Sins Away"
followed by the finale "Hal-a-loo."
Special act of the show was
Laggec and Draggcc portrayed by
Douglas Rcah and Jake Crouch.
Scene six could have easily been
taken from a movie—it was that
kind of presentation. Rosemary
Bruce sang "Jungle Night" and
Evelyn Monzingo and her dance
ensemble, arrayed in leopard suits,
presented a lovely, graceful dance.
Finale of thc show was "This
Is My Land" sung by Danny Stuc-
bcr. Rosemary Bruce and the
chorus.
Between seehes Danny Stcuber
called Carl Everett from thc audi-
ence to sing. Carl has up until this
year been a member of thc cast
each year. Carl sang “There Is A
New Moon.”
Bill Neale created scene settings
which were outstanding and prov-
ed unusual. Every setting was dif-
ferent and lovely.
Members of the chorus were
Martha Vaughn, Jo Bethea, Phly-
lis Turner, Sue Stewart, Linda
Dickerson, Martha Williams, Bar-
bara Sides, Helen Pursel, P erly
Swain, Carol Scoles. Jo Ann
Scolcs, Marilyn Godfrey, Peggy

Barbara Minter, Roland McChes-
ncy, Melvin Pate, Bob Pate, Glenn
Gaines, L. C. Lancaster Jr., Don-
ald Dunnavant, Danny Stcubcr,
Dean Walker, and Bobby Wilson.
Ken Bennett and members of
thc orchestra furnished pretty
music for etch scene. Orchestra
members were Joe Johnson. Lex
Grantham, Bobby McPherson,
George Mitchell, Howard Wright,
Tommy Thompson, Peggy Allen,
Rex Grantham Janclt Lynn, Tom-
my Coleman, Kathryn Morrison,
and Linda Bcrryhill.
This show was composed and
directed by Ken Bennett, who has
presented fourteen revues all total-
