 On Thursday

SHANGHAI. April 1--Deactiya- tion of the United States army in the China theatre May 1 was an- nounced today by It. Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer upon instructions
 from the joint chiefs of staff in
 Washington.
 This will leave 5000 to 4,000 U. S.
 army personnel in China to carry on with the military advisory group headed by General George c. Mar shall and to serve on the cease fir ing truce teams and aid with re- patriation and similar residual dut- ies.
 Wedemeyer is scheduled to leave for the United States Thursday but whether he would return to China was not disclosed.
 Wedemeyer told correspondents at a press conference that the army strength in China, which was 65,000 at it's peak. would be reduced to 5000 to 4,000 men. cThe current strength was not indicated) Marines Under Naay The 45,OO0 Marines in North
 China under Maj. Gen. Keller E. Rockey will revert from Wedemey- CTS control to the Navy, he said. Wedemeyer did not indicate when the Marines would leave China. The presence of American troops in China has been pointed. out re- peatedly by Russians in recent dis cussions concerning withdrawal of Soviet forces from Manchuria. Official Russian sources were quoted as saying their troops would be withdrawn before the U. s. forces left China. The gradual evacuation of Mukden, presumably ;as the first step in Soviet with
 drawal from all of Manchuria, was begun last month.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Story behind the recent White House visit of COP Representative William Lemke of North Dakota is that President Truman may liberalize the draft ing of farmers in order to aid the bumper harvest so vitally needed this year.
 The North Dakota Congressman told Truman that many farms in the Northwest are critically short handed due to the drafting of only sons when they reach the age of IS.
 Lemke also pointed out that large numbers of older sons who have served in the armed forces are not returning to the farm. They are taking fancier jobs in the cities in- stead. In some cases, the younger brothers are being inducted, though Soreiy needed on the farm.
 Draft boards in my State are taking all unmarried men when they reach draft age. regardless of
 
 their essentiality,' said Lemke.
 T am aware of the problem, . Truman assured him. "The same thing is happening in my own State of Missouri. Some of the draft boards are too stringent in the case of farm workers"
 T don't think anyone should be deferred at the expense of men now in the Army who are entitled to get out" continued Lemke. How ever, believe the Army could find between 100000 and 100000 non essential men who are able to serve but who have been deferred because of some physical defect
 Truman said he was inclined to agree and that he planned to go over the whole draft situation soon aaain with Chief of Staff General Eisenhower and Selective Service Chief General Hershey. Special em- phasis will be given to essential farm workers. he said, adding that the Army chiefs would be asked to <To~f;o,,o<3 n,, p00e EO7ff

t4tSatt IQNU<tL8 ! HONOLULU, April IA tssls. wave pounded the shorca of Hawai. today, killing at least fise persons and injuring many others and calis- ing heavy property damage.
 The wave, which some witnesses said was more than ten feet high. struck about a. m. ! Through quickly-clogge telephone, and radio channels there is pouring a story of surprised beach residents of these islands caught in the fury of the wave.
 1 Small boats were washed high up onto the shore and ripped open on the coral.
 Seismic Disturbance l The wave, apparently caused by an undersea seismic disturbance thousands of miles north of here. spent most of its fury at sea. It had sufficient power left when it reached Oahu, however. to wash away small homes, destroy roads and inundate railroad tracks long the coasts.
 Preliminary reports from the neighboring island of Hawaii indi- cated that the city of Hilo was hard hit and it's harbor facilities seriously damaged.
 0,0C0 Damage I A preliminary survey reported damage of $5o,o0o along the Hon. olulu waterfront. Navy headquart- CTS could not be reached immed- lately to determine the effect in sheltered waters of Pearl Harhor, where large part of the atomic Itcmb test fleet is anchored. I Jack Spears, superintendent of the Ala Wal boat harbor, made the estimate of 50.0o0 waterfront dam- age He said he saw three or four boats on the reef and several oth- CTS had been sunk.
 1 The weather bureau here had no report on the center of the dis turbance, but the California Insti- ute of Technology reported from Pasadena, Calif., earth shocks early this morning in the North Pacific in the vicinity of the Aleutians.
