New Draft Law Is
,Now Put In Effect
Tougher Measure Will Affect
385,000 Who Are Now Deferred
WASHINGTON, June 19 (UP) President Truman
today signed a new and tougher law which lowers the
draft age to I8V2 and allows the induction of 385,000 regis-
trants 19 through 25 who are now deferred.
The law also sets up the framework for a post-emergen-
cy universal military program. Congress would have to
pass another law to get it started
Under the new law the draft'
age limits are 18V4-through-25, as
opposed to 19-through-25 under
present law. However, each local
board must call first all available
men 19 and over. Congressional
experts said it will be months or
even years before any registrant
younger than 19 is inducted.
The present 21-month draft
^ term is stretched to two years.
Reserves-Guardsmen
Organized reservists and Na-
tional Guardsmen, who have
been or may be called to active
duty, also must serve 24 months.
But veterans of World War 11
who, since Korea, have been call-
ed to duty from the inactive re-
serve can get out after 17 months
service.
First men to feel the effect
of the tightened-up draft law
a probably will married men with-
out children and with no de-
pendents except wives. Hereto-
fore they have been deferred in
class 3-A, along with men with
otehr types of dependents.
The new law says no registrant
shall be deferred for dependen-
cy of wife alone, except in case
of extreme hardship. Congres-
sional experts estimated that
235,000 men will be re-classified
1-A under this provision.
J Lower Requirements
An estimated 150,000 4-Fs also
are due for reclassification un-
der a provision lowering the pass-
ing score on the Army's induc-
tion test from 70 to 65. The law
also fixes physical standards at
the lowest levels of World War
II, but few 4-Fs will be caught
by this since the standards al-
ready are about at the minimum.
The new law carried bad news
in another form for about 2,424,-
000 draft registrants who now
are deferred, for whatever rea-
son. Their liability for draft serv-
ice is continued through age 34.
The provision was put in the
law to catch those who by win-
ning one or more deferments,
whether for school, job or family
reasons, manage to reach age 20
and thus escape the draft.
Actually the law goes much
further than that. It specifies
that registrants who "are or may
be" deferred for any reason shall
remain liable for service (or for
UMT training, when that pro-
gram goes into effect) until they
reach 35.
This means that about 1,137,-
00 men now deferred for family
reasons, 97,000 deferred for job
and school, 90,000 deferred for
farming, plus about 1,100,000 men
deferred as 4-F, now are draft-
liable through age 34. Men so
deferred in the future will be in
the same boat.
As under present law, men
must register on their 18th birth-
days, 01 within five days thereaf-
ter. Under the new law, local
boards can classsify them at
once.
U. M. T. Compromise
The law's UMT provisisons
represent a sharp compromise
with demands of the Pentagon
for enactment now of a hard-and-
fast UMT program which would
go inio effect automatically when-
ever it is possible to halt the
draft.
The bill's sponsors in Congress
found it impossible to get such
00 provision enacted now. They
settled lor a stand-by program,
requiring specific approval by
Congress later on.
If iind when UMT goss into
effect, all men will be called at
the age of 18 for six months of
military training.
Under the law, Mr. Truman is
authorized to appoint a five-man
national security training com-
mission. It would draw up plans
for the program for submission
to Congress within four months
and eventually would exercise
general supervision over what-
ever program is adopted.
Three pieces of legislation
would be required—a code of con-
duct for the trainees (the equiv-
alent ot the articles of war for
men in service), death and dis-
ability provisions, and at least
one other recommendation of the
commission.
Chairman Carl Vinson of the
Housj Armed Services Commit-
tee said he hopes all this can be
done before the end of the cur-
rent session of Conugress, so the
UMT program can be held in
readiness for use.
Tho old draft law would have
expired July 9. It now is extend-
ed until July 1, 1955. There is no
termination date set for the
UMT program.
A ceiling of 5,000,000 men is
set on total strength of the Army,
Navy and Air Force. The serv-
ices now don't plan to go that
high.
Bo'.h under the draft and UMT
programs men would serve either
actively or in the reserves a total
of eight years. This would mean
six years in the reserves for men
drafted for two years active
duty, and seven-and-a-half years
in the reserves for trainees after
six months UMT duty.
The law assures local draft
board.-! the final say-so on col-
lege deferments. However, they
are expected to make use of cur-
rent nationwide deferments tests
in making up threir minds. High
school students are deferred un-
der the law until they graduate
or reach 20.
Red Airmen
Take Licking
In Air Fight
UN Troops Make
Challenqe For
Enemy To Stand
TOKYO, Wednesday, June 20
(UP) — United Nations troops
challenged the Communists to
stand and fight all along the Ko-
rean battle line Tuesday while
their planes ripped uo a Red jet
plane fleet for the third straight
day.
Despite signs of a new Chinese
Communist troop buildup. Al-
lied Gl's ranged ahead of their
lines for distances of up to five
miles, seeking firm contact with
the enemy. They met real resis-
tance only in one sector along
the Eastern Front.
In the third dogfight in three
days over North Korea, 27 Amer-
ican Sabrejets damaged four of
a fleet of enemy Russian-built
MIG-15 jets and sent the entire
force fleeing over the frontier
to the sanctuary of Manchuria.
The UN battle line was now
nearlv 30 miles north of the
38th Parallel.
Allied troops stormed "Punch-
bowl Valley," eastern spawning
ground for Communist offensive,
from newly-won heights above
Inje.
The assault on the four-mile-
wide valley on the East-Central
front carried the Allies deeper
into North Korea than at any
time since the abortive U. S.
dash to the Manchurian border
last November.
All the rest of the way across
the 100-mile Korean front, UN
tank-infantry patrols jabbed at
Communist forces believed mass-
ing for a new Red offensive.
Fleets of Allied warplanes sup-
ported the ground forces and
beat off a Communist air chal-
lenge for the third straight day.
Twenty-seven American Sabre-
jets found an estimated 30 So-
viet-built MIG-15 jets waiting for
them 30,000 feet over Sonchon,
35 miles below the Manchurian
border in northwest Korea.
The two formations tangled
at high speed and broke into
widely scattered dogfights. The
battle ended with four Commun-
ist jets damaged and all 30 en-
emy aircraft fleeing across the
Yalu River frontier to the safety
of Manchuria, out of bounds for
the Sabrejets.

Committees Vote Down
Further Beef Price Cut
Greater Emphasis Will
Be Put On Agriculture
New emphasis on agriculture,
_ the basic industry of the Sweet-
® water area, was planned by the
recently named agriculture com-
mittee of the Sweetwater Board
of City Development at its in-
itial meeting Monday night, with
R. S. Biggerstaff as chairman.
Crops and livestock are the
principal industry of this sec-
tion and have continued to make
sweeping forward strides even
in comparison with the fast de-
velopment in other lines, com-
mittee members said.
In the organization meeting,
general approval was given to
the idea of helping back those
who want to begin a dairy, poul-
try, rabbit and general agricul-
tural show in the fall.
M. B. Templeton, Nolan Coun-
ty agent, is heading a committee
from the Sweetwater Livestock
Show and Fair Association to
U feel out sentiment on the ques-
tion of a general agricultural
show here in addition to the
spring stock show. He will make
a report of the desires of dairy-
men, farmers, farm club wom-
en and others at a called meet-
ing of the BCD agriculture com-
mittee soon.
Committee members said that
there is too little annreciation of
f the multi-million-dollar agricul-
* tural industry of this section,
too little understanding of its
enormous size, its basic import-
ance and the progress being
made toward better croos, me-
chanization, more efficiency,
"Comparatively few people
around the square in Sweetwa-
ter and in other such towns be-
gin to realize what the success
of our agricultural picture
means to everyone," said Peter
Fox. "It is amazing what pro-
gress the dairy industry is mak-
ing." C. B. Bryant agreed that
the dairying industry is tak-
ing long steps that too few peo-
ple know anything about. At-
tention was given to the success
of the soil conservation program
by Leland Glass and O. H. Ber-
ry.
The committee voted to rec-
ommend that the Board of City
Development renew for five
years its lease with the T&P
railroad on its site for the farm
labor building here. It was vot-
ed to invite George Logan, new
West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce agriculture department
head, to visit here soon.
A committee will be named to
work out plans for awarding
premiums for the first bale of
cotton from Nolan county, the
first bale from Fisher county
ginned here, and a public auc-
tion for the first bale from the
two county-area ginned here.
"I've got a strong committee
to agree to work on this impor-
tant job," said Chairman Big-
gerstaff. "and I appreciate the
cooperation. I will be disappoint-
ed if we do not get a lot of
things done in working with
farmers, ranchers, their pro-
grams and agencies."
Among those at the organiza-
tion meeting of the committee
were: Clayton Williams, Willis
Davis, J. C. Stribling Jr., J. M.
Lawrence, Irvine A. Loeb, J. N.
Dulaney, Peter Fox, A. C. Bish-
op, C. B. Bryant, O. H. Berry,
Leland Glass, Allen Baker and
Chairman Biggerstaff. Other
members unable to be present
are Lance Sears, Ray Boothe
ind George Willis.
June 19 Holiday
Marked Here By
Parade, Barbecue
Sweetwater's Negro popula-
tion celebrated "Juneteenth"
with a parade and barbecue
Tuesday.
About 30 cars — decked in
crepe paper streamers —, were
entered in the downtown parade
shortly before noon.
A "big barbecue with all the
trimmings" awaited the group at
city park. Police officers escort-
ed the parade around the square.
Wind And California
Strain On T-V Here
Jack Choate, Sweetwater ap-
pliance dealer who has been
spending time and money exper-
imenting with television for
Sweetwater area, went up 82
feet with a special triangular
aluminum antenna at his home.
He had been able to get sta-
tions from Cuba to Mexico and
New York at times. Friday
night he had California as clear
as a bell. Just then the high
wind cracked his high aerial at
the top as temporary guv wires
failed. A moment later the rest
of the aerial toppled.
He plans to keep trying.
RESERVES COME HOME

Jr., announced last night that
only a few "irreplaceable criti-
cal specialists" will be kept on

mother of H. H. Hawley Sr., well-
known Sweetwater grocer, was
in good spirits and with good
hopes of full recovery Tuesday
after an emergency appendec-
tomy here following a rush am-
bulance trip from Spur during
Friday night's storm.
The storm through Rotan and
Robv was at its height when
the Spur ambulance brought
Mrs. Rash through. Good-natur-
edly she confided to her son,
"it sure has been lightning."

8 Month Extension
Recommended For
Wage-Price-Rent
Controls Measure
WASHINGTON, June 19 (UP)
—Congress today all but killed
any chance of cheaper beef by
government order.
The Senate Banking Commit-
tee, aoproving an eight-month
extension of wage-price-rent con-
trols, scuttled two future beef
price rollbacks which were de-
signed to cut the price of beef
to consumer 8 to 10 cents a
pound by next fall.
The House Banking Commit-
tee voted last nieht to cancel
the beef price rollbacks.
Thus, barring the unlikely
chance that the House and Sen-
ate will reverse their own com-
mittees, OPS to reduce the price
of beef seem dead.
Affected bv the committee ac-
tion are rollbacks of 4% per
cent each scheduled for Aug. 1
and Oct. 1.
Auto Credit
In voting to extend controls
legislation, the Senate commit-
tee also wrote into its bill a pro-
vision to relax installment buy-
ing controls on automobiles. It
voted to allow a payment per-
iod of 18 instead of the present
15 months and to forbid the Fed-
eral Reserve Board to require
more than one-third down pay-
ment on cars.
The price rollback provision
would forbid the government af-
ter July 1 to rollback any prices
beyond the levels which prevail-
ed last Jan. 25-Feb. 24.
The price rollback provision
as voted by the Senate com-
mittee applies to all prices as
well as beef and farm products.
!«effect it would forbid the gov-
ernment to roll back any prices
below their Jan. 25-Feb. 24, 1951,
levels after the new law goes
into effect July 1. But any roll-
backs ordered before that date
would stick.
This in effect would all but
cancel two remaining beef price
rollback orders. It would per-
mit only a two per cent further
reduction in beef prices.
Maybank said he hoped the
Senate could begin debate Mon-
day, six days before the June
30 deadline on present economic
controls.
The eight month extension of
| the controversial wage, price
and rent control provisions
I would leave Congress to fight
out the entire issue again early
next year.
Less Than Asked
The bill worked out by the
Senate committee falls far short
of the tougher authority and a
two-year extension asked by
President Truman. And the price
rollback order in effect sets an
entire new base for price ceil-
ings—the Jan.-Feb. 1951 period
instead of the present May-June,
1950.
The committee actions indica-
ted hard fights in both the
House and Senate over many
provisions of the extension of
the mobilization law.
Other Congressional develop-
ments:
Foreign Aid—Eighteen House
members returned from Europe
in general agreement that a big
foreign aid program must be
continued. Several members said
they were thinking more in
terms of military rather than
economic aid.
Taxes — House Republicans
sought Democratic support to
moderate the administration's
record $7,200,0(H),000 tax increase
bill. House debate 011 the bill
starts tomorrow. A vote is ex-
pected Thursday or Friday.

China Revolt
Still Chance
Badger Says
WASHINGTON, June 19 (UP)
Vice Adm. Oscar C. Badger, one
of the Navy's top authorities on
the Far East, told senators today
there still is "a chance" that
much of China will revolt against
"Communist tyranny and imper-
ialism."
Badger said this chance can
be fostered by American steps
in the political, economic, mili-
tary, and humanitarian fields
—steps he said should be taken
as the basis of any "war plan"
prepared for possible use in the
Far East.
FIGHTING DAYS ENDED—Part of 10,000 Red Chinese pri-
soners taken in recent UN offensive are lined up (above) for
movement to the rear. The Chinese Reds have been surren-
dering in increasing quantities during the recent UN offen-
sive which has smashed the Red "Iron Triangle."—(NEA Tel-
ephoto).
Adm. Badger Fails To
Back MacArthur Ideas
WASHINGTON, June 19 —
(UP)—Vice Adm. Oscar C.
Badger said today that "we can
lick them in Korea'' and should
not "for the time being" at-
tempt to bomb out Chinese Red
bases in Manchuria.
The admiral, one of the coun-
try's experts on the Far East,
told Senators investigating Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's dismissal
that he does not believe "we
would derive one-side benefit
from the bombing of the bases
in China at the present time."
Badger was called before the
investigating committee at the
request of Republican members
who expected him to support
MacArthur's rejected proposals
for hitting the Reds with air
and sea bombardment outside
Korea.
At first, it appeared that the
former naval commander in
the Far East was doing just
that. He read from a March lec-
ture he delivered at the Nation-
al war college in which he said
j the United Nations should "dis-
1 continue" enemy use of "sanc-
tuaries." MacArthur's biggest
complaint against the military
j high command was that it
would not let him bomb the
| Reds' Manchurian supply bases.

Housing Authority To Open
Bids Upon 76-Unit Project
Bids on a 7G-apartment proj-
ect for white families in the low
income bracket will be opened
by the Housing Authority of
Sweetwater Thursday at 10 a.
m. at the municipal building,
Chairman Clarence E. Hudgins
said Tuesday.
Response to advertisements
for bids have indicated that
there will be a number ot firms
bidding on the development.
The project is on an eight acre
tract between Poplar and Lem-
on streets, north from Eighth
Street, which is to be opened.
In the development will be 21
buildings of modern type con-
struction with natural brick fin-
ish. There will be 11 duplex
apartment structures, seven two
story buildings each containing
six apartments, three one story
quadruplex apartment build-
ings.
The Negro and Mexican 24-
unlt project is due to be started
on Robert Lee street this month.
Contract for this development
was recently let at about $168,-
000.
Storm clouds rumbled and
flashed lightning through the
skies of the Sweetwater area
Monday night but only light
rains were reported. Northeast
of Lubbock a heavy hail cut a
I swath toward Floydada late Mon-
day.
Weather forecasts were for a
few scattered thundershowers
tonight but weather observers
I believed that the extreme turbu-
lence was moving toward deep
east Texas and chances of stor-
j my weather tonight were less
' than Monday night.
High temperatures marked the
state's weather reports. Sweet-
water had a high of 99 Mon-
day but humidity of 00 to 70
per cent made the heat unusually
oppressive. Presidio had 112 Mon-
day, Big Spring and Midland
107, Wink 111, San Angelo 102
and El Paso and Lubbock 100.
Tyler with a thunderstom Mon-
day noon registered a high of
85.
Fort Worth nad a 34 mile wind
early Tuesday and light rain fell
in Dallas, Fort Worth, Wichita
Falls and San Angelo.
West Texas' forecast was part-
ly cloudy this afternoon, tonight
and Wednesday with local thun-
dershowers in Panhandle south
plains anil upper Pecos Valley
eastward tonight. A few thund-
ershowers in this immediate ar-
ea.
man Richard B. Russell, D.. Ga.,
asked the witness if he favored
such expansion of the war,
Badger replied:
"I think we can lick them in
Korea. I think we should not
open ourselves to the bombing
of bases in China. But I think
that if we do not get a nego-
tiable reaction from the Chinese
Communist government pretty
soon, that we would have to do
what we could to destroy the
source of equipment, which. I
think, is the element of strength
or weakness on the part of
Chinese forces.
"In other words, to clarify
that, I do not believe as a per-
son of some experience in the
Orient, that we would derive
one-sided benefit from the
bombing of the bases in China
at the present time."
Badger said he thinks Chi-
nese Communist supply lines >
can be disrupted by bombing j
them within Korea.
"I would prefer to limit jnili- 1
tary action to that area for the
time being," he said.
Badger urged delivering a \
body blow to the Communists in j
Asia by continued and "accel- |
erated" American rearmament ;
efforts, along with military aid
to other free nations, to remove
doubts in the Far East "as to i
our strength." taking the initi- !
ative in southeast Asia and oth-
er threatened regions by a !
prompt program of economic, !
humantarian, and farm aid pro-
grams, plus technical guidance.
"Continue to effect heavy
; losses in Korea.
Discontinue the "recognized
use of sanctuaries by armed en-
; emies of the United Nations" by
| "effective sanctions and, if nec-
essary. blockades."

Lions Hear Talk
On Japan Today
A talk on Japan and presen-
tation of perfect attendance pins
featured the Lions Club lunch-
eon Tuesday.
Mrs. E. T. Pittard of Anson
was the guest speaker, and Li-
ons had invited their wives to
be special guests. Mrs. Pittard
was introduced by Cleo Tarter.
She formerly taught at Anson, is
widely known as a speaker and
church worker, and gleaned the
impressions for her talk from a
visit in Japan with her daugh-
ter and son-in-law, an army ma-
jor. last summer.
Her piain tlwme was the need
for a spiritual and Christian ap-
proach to better understanding
between races. "Hatred and prej-
udice will never restore the life
of one American boy or heal
one wound,' 'she said of the at-
titude which she feels America
should learn to have toward the
Japanese, "but they may sow
the seeds of destruction for our
children and grandchildren."
