Hungory's King Motthios Was Soldier and Scholar

iStISOi NiIiS Nt0ttiu0S Was Soldier and Scholar HUNGARY marks the 5Ooth AA birthday of famous Magyar ruler, King Matthias the Great, with new series of five semi- postals. depicting the monarch's military and literary achieve ments. A profile of Matthias, crowned with a laurel wreath, is shown on the stamp above.
 Matthias was crowned at IT, ruled until 1490. He battled to drive the Turks froan Europe, made Hungary a first-rate mili- tary power.
 But Matthias was more than just a warrior-king. He loved books and fine arts. He recognized edu- cation, linked Hungarian culture with that of western Europe by sending students to foreign uni- versailles. With his wife, Beatrice of Aragon, he built a great li- brary of philosophy, military sci- ence, history and Hungarian lit- erature. This was housed in the castle at Buda.
 Other stamps of the series de- oict Matthias varied achieve ments. Two are devoted to his military career, one showing him n full armor and on horseback, the other his raven shield. A fourth stamp shows an open book and the fifth of the series depicts he castle at Buda.

Although Congress has yet to act
on the necessary legislation, a War
Department Official disclosed that
agencies in the 48 States already
have begun preparations for the
selective service plan.
The bill before Congress pro-
vides for registration of all males
between 18 and 64 years-a total
Of $4,000, 900. Only those between
81 and 45-some 24,000, ,000-would
be liable for active service. Those
of other ages could be used for home
defense purposes.
Agencies Get Instructions.
"One Of the purposes Of this wide
registration is to make every home
conscious of the national defense
program" said Chairman Shepard
of the Senate Military Committee.
The War Department Official who
disclosed September l as the tenta-
tive registration date said the joint
Army and Navy Selective Service
Committee had notified existing
State agencies that Congress soon
may pass a training bill. The
agencies were instructed to over
haul their draft machinery in an
ticipation.
This notification, the official EN-
phasized, was purely advisory and
informative, pending action of Con-
gress.
Some States, however, have

lawyers and, other civilians needed
to register and classify the II ,000.-
O00-odd young men between 81 and
81 who probably will be the first
enrolled. Maps have been drawn to
show registration areas.
Every. State draft organization

the registration forms which will be
used, barring changes by Congress.
These can be handed to printers for
quantity production at a moments
notice.

Service Committee, registration
easily might take place September
l. though advance notice would be
desirable.
II authority is given by Congress,
the National Guard possibly will be
mobilized about the same date, the
Army high command has indicated.
The Army's training plan is based
on Guard mobilization.
Earlier Call for Guard Sought.
Gen. George G. Marshall. chief Of
staf1, has told Congress that the
Army wishes to call out the Guard
four weeks before arrival of the first
conscripts, who would be trained in
the ranks Of the Guard and the
Regular Army.
The nucleus Of the draft ma
chinery has existed for years, having
been designed for q wartime emer-
gency. Provisions for its use are in
corporated in the pending Burke
Wadsworth service bill.
To conduct the one-day registra-
ton. the States must utilize TOO, 900
men and women-probably from
among election officials. This would
mean about five for each Of 123, 900
precincts. There must be about
100000 more to administer the sys-
tenn, including local selective serv-
ice boards, medical examiners and
legal aides.

and q first-year draft Of not more
than 100000 between 81 and 81,

serve one year, probably at the basic
Army and Navy pay Of $21 monthly.
Then they would be placed in a
reserve. subject to annual additional
training, for a period of 10 years. or
until they reached IS.
This annual retraining could be
avoided by serving out two more
years in the Regular Army or Ma

mated that the vast training pro-
