Reeent Year's
Draft Situation
In Retrospet
WASHINGTON - (/P) - The
Army, a few short months ago
crying for men and spending mil-
lions preparing to handle them, is
now turning away volunteers and
cutting down its size.
And the Selective Service Sys-
tem, mobilized last June to supply
the prmy with as many as 30,000
meri monthly, is now drafting no
one.
Why?
* * *
GO BACK to last spring, just
before Congress enacted the draft
law. At that time the army was
down to a post-war low of 560,000.
The re-enlistment rate had
fallen to a low point upon the
discharge of many soldiers who
had enlisted two, years or more
earlier to reap G.I. Bill benefits
and wanted no more army.
President Truman and Congress
said we should act fast to get our
war fist cocked into position.
the draft would stim ulate eni st-
ments. As it turned out, the army
has drafted only 25,000 men and it
may not have to draft any more at
all.
The Army simply underesti--
mated what its recruiting serv-
ice could do with the draft as a
selling pint. Vonardy enlist-
tween May and July and they
have stayed around the 35,000
a month level ever since.
Today the Army has had to abol-
ish two-year enlistments and put
a ceiling on the number of men
who may enlist for three, four, five
and six year terms. Its re-enlist-
ment rate is running high (more
than 40 per cent) and a proposed
pay raise won't discourage volun-
teers.
* *
ARMY statisticians figure that
at n~o time during the war-time
draft or the present draft has the
rate or voluntary enlistments fal-
len below the level needed to keep
army strength at 677,000.
But if the voluntary enlistment
curve should suddenly plummet
the army has the draft to fall back

Suspense-full! That's why it
always has been and still is tops
among radio mysteries.
Steering away from the conven-
tional "blood and guts" sagas and
the proverbial "who-dunnit" se-
ries that inevitably remind me of
the soap box operas that are the
scourge of every radio listener,
Suspense has been presenting
mysteries with a twist-the type
of story you might find in a col-
lection of 0 Henry or DeMaupas-
sant or to bring the analogy up
to date, something from the pages
of the New Yorker.
UNDOUBTEDLY, Suspense's
most famed production was Lucil-
le Ylctcher's original radio script,
"Sorry, Wrong Number" in which
Agnes Morehead made radio his-
tory with her magnificent por-
trayal of a bed-ridden neurotic.
Miss Morehead has since repeated
h1er memorable performance of
Leona on three occasions, in re-
sponse to the countless requests
from Suspense fans.
Last week's show chalked up
another hit for radio's top mys-
tery theatre. "Where There's A
Will," the wierd, mystical tale
of a man, dangerously indebted
to a stubborn gambler, and who
The General Library is filling
up the gaps caused by the war in
its collection of German period-
icals.
During the war the periodicals,
mostly of a scientific and tech-
nological nature, were bought and
stored in Germany by an agent of
the University-.
After the war the periodicals
were shipped to the U.S. from the
Russian Zone of Germany through
the Library of Congress. The last
shipment of about 1,000 journals
has just been received.
Gaps in the collection are being
filled by exchanging duplicates
with other universities and by
having photostat and lithoprint

students first published a guide
to women's colleges, "For Men
Lonely," and then reversed the
English to produce "Weekend, a
Girl's Guide 10 the College Week-
end."
Said the authors: "No one wiell
ever know all the blood, sweat and
Martinis" that wvent into the prod-
uct.
