LXI, No. 168 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1951 CLOUDY AND WARMER SIX PAGES 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. A* * * 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.

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.

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. E I I 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.

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.

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. West Germans Set Up Border Patrol BONN - (A) - West Germans armed with pistols, rifles and ma- chine guns now face, the Soviet- backed "People's Police" across the Iron Curtain.
