Joint
Legislation
Sets Draft
Age at 18%
Plans, for UMT
Included in Bill
WASHINGTON-()-A Sen-
ate-House Conference Committee
reached agreement on a new drafi
bill yesterday and laid the founda-
tion for Universal Military Train-
ing in the United States.
The compromise legislation
would drop the minimum draft age
from 19 years to 18'/2 and keep the
Selective Service system going un-
til July 1, 1955.
IT WOULD also set up the
framework for Urniversal Military
Training, with the proviso that
Congress shall take a second, long
look at the idea before putting any
program into effect.
Before the deadlock on the
Senate-House bills can be broken
completely, however, the com-
promise measure must be ap-
proved by both chambers.
Senator Russell (D-Ga.), chair-
man of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, and Rep. Vinson (D-
Ga.), head of a similar committee
in the House, expressed confidence
that the machinery for Universal
Military Training would be in ef-
J fect by the end of this year.
The actual training program is
not expected to start until the end
of the Korean emergency.
RUSSELL called the agreement
on UMT "rather historic business."
He said many authorities believe
that if the United States had had a
Universal Military Training pro-
gram 40 years ago it might have
prevented Wolrd Wars I and II.
Both he and Vinson said they
were sure the Senate and House
would approve the compromise.
The conference report probably
will be acted on in the Senate
Thursday or Friday. Vinson
plans to call it up in the House
next week.
The present draft law expires
July 9. Dropping the draft age
from 19 to 18%/2 makes about 500,-
000 more youths eligible for mili-
tary service, but the conferees pre-
dicted that few younger than 19
would be inducted for a long time,
if ever. The bill provides that all
those available in the 19 to 26-year
group must be called first.

Army To Call
only 15,000
In JulyDraft
WASHINGTON-O?)-The Army
issued a draft call yesterday for
15,000 men in July.
This is the smallest number re-
quested for any one month since
the new Selective Service program
began.
The Army drafted 80,000 men
in January and the same number
in February and March. It drew
40,000 a month in April and May,
fixed a total of 20,000 for June
and 22,000 for August of this
year.
Reduced casualties in Korea and

increasing volunteer enlistments,
the Army said, are the main fac-

sterday there's a good chance
e United States can avoid an-
her world war and also win a

But the Air Force Chief of Staff

e U.S. now has only a "shoe-

ere is danger elsewhere of at-

HE URGED that the Air Force

Those enrolled under the Vo-
cational Rehabilitation Act for
disabled veterans will not be af-
fected by this ruling.
NO COURSE change can be
made after this date, and anyl
veteran who has left school and'
intends to return for the fall se-
mester will not be allowed to ap-
ply for GI Bill benefits. However,
they may enroll in summer school.
Veterans will be required to pur-
sue the same course of study next
fall unless the course is changed
before July 25. Applications for
a change of course will not be
considered valid after the July 251
'cut-off' date, and once a course
is completed after this date, a
new course may not be started.
However, if the veteran has a
satisfactory reason for chang-
tors in the declining draft figures.
Under the present program, at
the end of August, 377,000 men will
have been drafted into the Army
this year. The Navy, Marine Corps
and Air Force have not called on
Selective Service for draftees in
1951.
The Navy-the only service still
calling enlisted reservists indivi-
dually-said yesterday it will or-
der up 3,000 non-rated reservists
a month starting in August.

3. If the course the veteran de-I laU
sires to change to is a normal pro-
gression from his current course,
and will help him attain his edu- P
cational or vocational objective.
OTHER CASES in which the' F

'cut-off' date does not apply are
those in which the veteran re-
turns to active service or is now
in the Armed Forces. If the vet-
eran reenlists, however, he will
be expected to resume his studies
within a reasonable time after his
release from active duty.
In instances where veterans are
waiting for acceptance to medical,
dental and osteopathic schools, the
July date will not be enforced.
They will receive full GI Bill bene-
fits as soon as they are accepted
by an accredited school. Those
who are studying to be teachers
and take GI Bill courses during
the summer will also be exempt
from the 'cut-off' ruling.

nicians picked up the weakly built
structure to carry it to the other
side of the walk.
At this point the scaffolding
gave way, and both men and the
camera fell back on the ground.
Although O'Reilly remained un-
hurt, Leontough fell directly on
the pavement, injuring his back.
An ambulance was called, and
he was rushed to a nearby hospi-
tal for X-ray and observation.
The big camera fell to the ground
immediately beside Leontough. It
needed only minor repairs, and
was soon put back into working
condition, with no film injured.
WITH THE traditional "the
show must go on" spirit, camera-
men continued their filming of the
band which will be featured in
the "This Is America" series next
fall.
Although Leontough's injuries
were reported slight, hospital of-
ficials say he will remain there for
future observation.

Costly Stand
Averts Total
Red Defeat.
Allies Wipe Out
Two Divisions
TOKYO - (P) - Red Chinese
troops ended their headlong re-
treat today and even counter-
attacked at some points north of
the 38th parallel after a bloody
four-day allied offensive.
Allied troops trapped and de-
stroyed two Chinese Red divisions
in central Korea in the recent
fighting, the Eighth Army reported
today.
BUT IT IS BELIEVED the costly
Red stand-12,974 killed or wound-
ed, 5,028 captured-in the center
may have allowed the bulk of the
Communists to slip back north of
the 38th parallel.
The two Red divisions were en-
circled and eliminated as a fight-
ing force northwest of Chunchon
45 miles northeast of Seoul,
from Friday night through yes-
terday.
"The enemy pocket in this area
has been cleaned up except for a
few scattered Communist groups,"
an Eighth Army officer said.
A PRISONER haul of 2,558 was
madehyesterday by Allied forces
who have driven the Reds from
virtually all territory gained in the
Reds' two turned-back spring of-
fensives.
Red resistance stiffened yes-
terday and today on the east-
central front around Ine and
Hyon and on the central front
near Hwachon. The Communists
showed signs of standing still
and trying to halt the general al-
lied push across the 38th parallel
into North Korea.
An Eighth Army staff officer
said costly Red delaying actions
probably have permitted many
troops to elude United Nations
traps.
The Allies were hampered by
mud. The Reds were able to slip
up roads and trails before the
sloshing Allies could cut them,
PURSUING UN forces were driv-
ing four to 14 miles inside North
Korea across the 125-mile mide
peninsula. The Allied positions
were about the same they occupied
just before the first Red hammer
blow the night of April 22.
In one week the Eighth Army of-
fensive has eliminated Red pene-
trations ranging up to 25 miles
below the 38th parallel. The total
Red gains were from 30 to 40 miles.
However, field dispatches said
3,000 Chinese were in action last
night against U.S. troops on the
central front, west of Hwachon
reservoir. That was roughly seven
miles north of the old political
boundary.
