child of the second marriage, is an

blessed, or cursed, depending upon
your point of view, with fatal
charm for women, a habit of lying
about where he has been, and
another one of taking long, wet

Among these uncharming people

5000 Koreans Seized
For Entering Japan
by the Asseeioisd Press

KURE, Japan, Sunday, Aug. ls.-
More than 5000 Koreans who landed
illegally on Honshu have been
rounded up and returned to Korea
headquarters of British Common
wealth occupation forces announced
today.
The British said illegal entries
had reached such proportions that
large-scale preventive measures by
naval and land forces had been
employed. Allied plane patrols spot
some of the smuggled ships.
The British announcement said
illegal entrants are a menace to
health because they may carry chol-
era or typhus. 1t added that most
Koreans planned to operate on the
black market, although others re-
turn after repatriation to obtain
valuables they had been unable to
take with them.
Cited as a typical interception
was the capture by the 9th New
Zealand Brigade August of 300
Koreans who were ferrying ashore
in two small boats from a large
vessel anchored of the West Hon.
shu coast.
Smuggling of illegal Koreans into
Japan is highly organized business,
the British said.
The British announcement fol-
lowed reports in the Tokyo news
paper Mainichi that at least 10000
Koreans were attempting to slip
into Japan each month.

Amvets Head Opposes Entry
of Displaced Persons

Opposition to entry into the Unit
ed States of a fixed number of dis
placed persons from Europe" as ad-
vocated by President Truman, was
expressed today by Jack w. Hardy,
national commander of the Ameri-
can Veterans of World War II.
Mr.. Hardy maintained that the
United States should take care of
it's full obligation to veterans before
placing the resources Of the country
at the disposal of persons from for
eign lands.
Expressing deep sympathy for
displaced European refugees, our
first duty is to our own people, es-
pecially homeless and unemployed
veterans who are still trying to find
places to live and clothing to wear, "
Mr.. Hardy stated.
'The time will not arrive for re-
newed immigration until those
many hundreds of thousands Of our
veterans, now existing under the
52-20 plan, are gainfully employed
and are housed"

New Draft Plan Based
On Liberal Deferments
Is Expected Soon
BY The Associated Press

A new draft plan based on lib
eralized deferment policies is in
the making, Selective Service
officials disclosed last night.
One of them said the latest esti-
mates indicate the draft can pro-
duce only $4,000 men in the 1929
age group by next March 81, even
If the bottom of the barrel is
scraped" Maj. Gen. Willard s.
Paul, director of personnel, has said
the Army needs 5000. Liberalized
rules would make even fewer than
155.000 men available.
About the only way to increase
the number substantially would be
to raise the age limit above % years,
one selective service official said
He added, however, that this is for
the Army to decide. The War De-
partment specified a few weeks ago
it wanted its men under %. The
law permits the drafting of men up
to A. In addition 18-year- -olds must
register but are not subject to call.
Some announcement concerning
new deferment policies is expected In
a few days, one Official said. Nothing
is expected to be done for some time
to increase the number OF men SUBJ
ject to call, however, since the pres
ent supply is sufficient for months
The recalculations Of manpower,
based on liberalized draft rules, were
ordered on the heels of protests
from education and science organi-
cations that the proposed rules will
permit the drafting Of some of the
most promising" young scientists
of the country.
In addition the American Council
on Education estimated recently g.
600 professors could be drafted if
present rules are rigidly enforced.
This, the council estimated, would
educational opportunities
for $4,000 war veterans.
This estimate is known to have
had considerable weight among Gov
ernment officials because DR.. Francis
j. Brown, who made 1t for the coun-
Gil, is member OF the President S
Commission on Higher Education.
President Truman appointed the
commission to help increase edu-
cational opportunities for veterans.
There has been a draft holiday"
for two months. The next draft is
in September when about 25 900 men
will be taken.
