Commissions and
Active Duty Offered
Qualified Veterans

The Department of the Army
has announced a liberal plan to
offer commissions to young men
who have served at least one year
in the armed forces and who have
completed two or more years of
college education. Specifically deS-
ignated to rebuild the officer
strength of the Army, particularly
in the junior grades, the plan pro-
vides two years of extended active
duty for successful applicants.
It is believed this offer will at
tract large number of qualified
young men who did not attain
commissioned status during the re-
cent war and who are in posi-
ton to devote two years to active
duty in the Army.
The offer is open to men be-
tween the ages of 19 and 80, who
have had at least one years active
service in any of the armed forces
of the United States during the
period December 7, 1941, to June
80, 1947. The educational require
ments specify that the applicant
must have completed two years at
a nationally-accredited college or
university, and score at least ITO
in the Armys General Classifica-
ton Test.
This opportunity for commits
stoned status also is available to
men now serving in the Army.
Applicants must pass a physical
examination and be approved by
board of officers. These boards are
located throughout the United
States at Army posts and stations
and at U. S. Army Recruiting Dis
trict Headquarters.
Because the policy of the Army
is to encourage young men to COM
plete their education, college stu
dents, or men scheduled to attend
college at the time of expected en-
try on active duty, are not eligible.
u. S. Army Recruiting Stations
will begin to receive applications
at once. Men already in the Army
will send their applications through
military channels. It is expected
the first group of men will start
their 12-week training course on
or about December 1.

Keep Records Of Teheran,
YaIfa Secret, British Ask
By the Associo,ed Press

Diplomatic officials yesterday re-
ported that the British Embassy
has suggested to the State Depart
ment that the best interests OF
all concerned" would be served by
not publishing now certain docu-
ments on the wartime Teheran and
Yalta conferences.
The action was based, these Off
cials said, on the serial publication
in Golfers magazine of papers OF
the late Harry Hopkins, wartime
adviser of President Roosevelt.
The documents were not identi-
fed. Whether they were official
records of the meetings of Mr.
Roosevelt with Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain, OF
were Mr.. Hopkins own notes, was
not disclosed.
The embassy acted on instruc-
tons from the British Foreign
Office. 1t made "informal repre-
sentations" about two weeks ago
according to officials who asked
not to be identified. These inform
ants indicated the step was taken
largely as a formalty without ex-
pectation that the State Depart
ment would, of could. do anything.
The Hopkins articles were writ
ten by Robert E. Sherwood.
They cover some of the same war
time recollections now being writ
ten by Mr.. Churchill in his memoirs.

NLRB Case Against
Lewis on Union Shop
BY jones Y. Newton

The Government resumed efforts
today to prove that the new soft
coal contract of John l.. Lewis
United Mine Workers violates the
Taft Hartley Act.
Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV are on
trial before National Labor Re-
lations Board examiner on charges
of committing unfair labor prac-
tices. The charges result from the
inclusion a union shop clause in the
coal contract without the approval
of the mine workers in a formal
NLRB election.
Harry NJ Moses, chief negotiator
for the steel industry's captive
mines. testified for several hours
yesterday and took the stand again
today when the hearing resumed
before Trial Examiner William r.
Ringer.
Negotiations Described.
After Mr.. Moses finished testify
ing William Foster, an attorney for
the United States Steel Corp. con-
tinued description of negotiations
with Mr.. Lewis leading up to the
filing of unfair labor practices
charges by the steel industry.
John c. Gall, counsel for the
Southern Coal Producers Associa-
ton, who is representing the steel
industry in the ULRB case, then
described efforts of the operators
to persuade Mr.. Lewis to drop his
insistence on the Nnion shop clause
| in the coal contract.
After the captive" mines were
closed for a week by refusal of the
miners to work without a contract,
the UNIV and Mr.. Moses finally
signed the agreement with the pro-
vision for the union shop until the
NLRB and the courts had finally
decided the dispute.
Employe Must Join Union.
Under the union shop an employer
may hire a non-union worker, but
he must join the union within 80
days after employment Such an
arrangement is legal under the Taft
Hartley Act provided a mapority Of
the workers involved approve 1t in
advance.

presence is illegal. Welly K Hop

Pan American Stirs
Row by Suggesting
Restricted u. ). Traffic
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Final argument on the application
of Pan American Airways for a net
work of blue ribbon domestic routes
closed late yesterday with a sharp
dispute over the suggestion that the
routes be granted with restriction
to "fill up" traffic.
The objection came from the do
mestic airlines which are opposed
to giving Pan American any internal
routes under any conditions.
Henry J. Friendly of New York
Pan American counsel. said in his
rebuttal statement, which ended
three and a half days of legal de.
bate before the Civil Aeronautics
Board, that the decision MIGHT be
to give his company the privilege Of
carrying passengers between United
States points to the extent thai
seats are available on international
flights.
(This is known as "fill up traffic
and when applied to internationa
air travel involves the complicated
and much disputed fifth freedom" ~
Called New Issue.
Howard C. Westwood of American
Airlines told the board that Mr.
Friendly had, in effect, presented a
new issue. Mr.. Westwood took the
position that Pan American
throughout the al months the case
has been before the CAB had de-
manded unrestricted domestic routes
and that the opposition of the do
meStic airlines was based upon that
application:
John T. Lorch of Chicago. speak
ing for United Air Lines, said that il
the board intended to consider CIV
ing Pan American domestic routes
with restrictions, the case should be
reopened for testimony.
Mr.. Friendly replied by saying
that all Of the airlines knew that
the board did not always grant
everything that was asked, that II
sometimes awarded routes which
had not been applied for. and that
it would be not unusual for it tc
apply restrictions in this case ever
though Pan American sought un.
restricted routes.
Eight Routes Asked.
In his prepared rebuttal Mr.
Friendly had argued for the pro-
posed routes as a step to bolster
the Pan American system. which
he said had made the largest ma
tional defense contribution of any
air carrier and should be in a posi-
ton to do so again.
Pan American is asking eight
basic. routes linking 13 major cities
which are terminals for its 100, ,000-
mile international network. Al
though it flies all over the world
