lions any further To- aid them.
There were still no indications
that formula had been agreed
upon for an international discus
sion of the French dispute with Sy-
ria and Lebanon.
The British foreign Office has re-
ceived a note from the French gov
eminent giving the French posi-
ton on the next step to be taken.
Ii was understood in unofficial quar-
tiers that the note included reit-
Grafton of the French stand that
the matter should be dealt with in
Big Five conference. The Brit
ish have taken the position that the
meeting should be limited TO
France, Britain and the United
States.
Gen. OLIVIA Roget, French COM
mander in southern Syria, has re-
turned to Paris bearing message
for Gen. De Gaulle from Gen. Paul
Etienne Beynet, French delegate in
Syria. The Paris radio denied
published reports that Roget had
been recalled because Of his handl-
ing Of the Syrian situation.
Not Talking
An Associated Press dispatch
from Beyrouth said the Syrians
would not open new talks with the
French until the French quit the
country.
The Belgrade radio said today
that Yugoslavia has demanded the
extradition OF Field Marshal Milan
Medic, former Nazi puppet premier
of Serbia, on war crimes charges.
Medic and his brother Milutin Ne

Most Serious
Closing OF the gas department
creates the most serious situation
in the city.
Residents are advised by r. Fred
Older, city engineer, to make a
thorough check OF homes and bust
ness establishments to be sure all
gas outlets are closed when the
gas supply is exhausted.
This is necessary TO avoid dan
ger when gas is again made avail
able. Pilot lights, water heater
units and similar appliances are
usually in constant operation. II
the city gas supply is exhausted,
these will go out. Should one OF
these outlets be overlooked when
gas is again turned into the mains.
a dangerous situation both from
possibility Of asphyxiation or ex-
plosion could result.
Mr.. Older advises residents to be
very sure all are turned off,
IL today's strike lasts long enough
to exhaust the gas supply. In that
case they should not again be put
in use until a thorough check has
been made by the city, at each
home. he points out. This check Is
necessary because the first gas may
come in spurts after service is re-
sumed due to air pockets in the
mains. Until a steady flow Is es-
tablished, there is danger in light
ing pilot lights and water heaters
unless a constant watch is main
tanned.
Other serious ramifications OF
the gas situation are the effects on
industry. A number OF factories
here are dependent on gas for nu-
merous processes. Rapid cooling OF
industrial units, it is feared, may
cause damage to expensive equip
ment.
Restaurants were due 10 have
trouble too. Most OF them use gas
for cooking.
Pending outcome OF the present
situation residents are asked to
curtail use OF gas in every way pos
sible. Conservation methods sug-
gested are not baking, cooking the
least hot food possible, sharing ell
ectrical equipment, and shutting
off water heaters.

Navy Enlistment BON
Lifted For Men l8 to
SO. New Order Stutes

Navy Recruiting Stations all
over the country r initiating an
all out drive for voluntary en-
listments, particularly in the Reg
ular Navy, among mi in the age
group of II to 80 inclusive, who
are now eligible by Executive
Order of President Truman. This
order lifts the ban against vol
untary enlistments in draft ages.
The Nays recruiting drive
is designed to speed demobiliza-
ton of men with long war SER
vice, to reduce the Nays calls
through Selective Service and at
the some time to enable the Navy
to fulfill its extensive RESPONSE
bilities through the transition pc
riod and beyond.
During August, despite the ban
on recruiting men between the
draft ages of 18 and 81 inclusive,
the Navy enlisted more than 49,
900 men in the 17-year age group,
with parental consent. OF this
number $500 joined the Regular
Navy and the balance entered the
Naval Reserve.
Now that the bars are raised
permitting the Armed Services
to reach into the draft age group
for voluntary enlistments the
Navy is endeavoring at least to
triple the August figures in COM
ing months.
Men who have not been in uni
form as well as those recently
discharged through the Army
and Navy rehabilitation plan
are sought through this recruit
ing drive. Navy spokesman an
nounced that already a number
of World War ii veterans are
signing up for the Regular Navy.
It is anticipated that this number
will greatly increase as the de-
mobilization program progresses.
Navy officials point out that such
further service is solely a matter
of voluntary action on the part
of those who want to follow the
Navy as a peacetime career. Many
veterans have embraced this OPP
portunity after spending long
awaited furloughs and leaves at
home.
The term of enlistment in the
Regular Navy is now reduced
from six years to four. Physical
standards are lowered in the
light of var experience. Men
changing to the Regular Navy
from the Naval Reserve and men
reenlisting in the Regular Navy
not only retain their rights to
mastering out pay, but also are
entitled to full credit for past
