ToDAY, quarter million young Americans
i are getting ready for hitch in the Army.
The new Draft Bill will give them each 81
months to find out what a uniform is like.
Sergeant James L. Yeary of Clinton, Tenn,
and Private Kuuleialoha Chang, of Honolulu,
have good idea of what S doing in the Army
these days. When saw them, they were sta
toned at the southern tip of the Iron Curtain
between the Free Territory of Trieste and
Yugoslavia. But they could be anywhere i.
"Roadblock 7" is wooden shack with a
red and white barrier and -aagpole flying
the Stars and Stripes About 10 yards farther
along the road is another barrier and an in
scription zIvEL TITO Qong Live Tito).
In between is narrow strip of lovely no
mans land: brook, flowers and trees.
''You could practically throw pair of
dice to the guy over there" Sergeant
Yeary was saying.
Don't do it," Pfc. Chang said. Hell
keep the dice"
The guy over there" was the Yugoslav
soldier guarding his barrier. Two heaps of
stones had been piled up next to him, leaving
an opening just large enough for one vehicle
to pass through.
They Arrested the BaIl
YEARY, slim. wiry fellow, laughed. "You
bet he would keep the dice" he said. "A few
weeks ago the football team of our Eighty
eighth Mechanized Cavalry played game
on field near the border against the British
Nomads. Somebody kicked the ball over the
border. The Yugoslavs arrested the ball.
After fifteen days of negotiations they said
the matter had been referred to Belgrade.
The ball hasn't been released yet"
who's going to pay for the ball?" Chang
dark melancholy eyes.
They'll put it down as goodwill expense -
said Yeary. Everybody laughed. The Yugo-
slav guard gave us a hard, long stare and
turned his back.
THE Jug is allergic to laughter" said
Yeary. "And he hates cameras Yesterday
photographer came up here to take few
pictures. We bet him two bucks that he
wouldn't be able to catch the guys face"
1--WE won," Chang said.
The two CTS had been at the border for
four days. with three more to go. Their tour
of duty is seven days, "a hours every day.
The barrier is guarded by members of the
Trieste police, officially called Venezia Giulia
Police Force, under the surveillance of two
American CTS. The police don't understand
English and the Americans don't talk Italian,
but Yeary said they were getting along fine
in silent way.

typewriter sheet that was pinned to the front
of the shack 1t said:

Scarcity Of Border Traffic
HERE were few entries in the log. Not more
than $50 people day pass through the bar
rier most of them residents of nearby bor-
der villages on business errands.
In spite of the scarcity of border traffic,
there are always Incidents - ranging all the
way from stray dogs wandering across the
frontier and being claimed by their owners, to
couple of American soldiers being shang-
haied by the Yugoslavs. As rule the Ameri-
cans are interrogated for two or three days
and finally released.
One night recently British jeep patrol
lost its way along the border and ran smack
into Yugoslav platoon. The British were
held for two weeks before they were
allowed to rejoin their outfit.
''Giornale di Trieste" the citys leading
conservative newspaper, not long ago COM
mented ironically on the much improved
situation" along the border, telling of the
Triestine civilian who had ventured eight feet
deep into Yugoslav territory to take a drink
of water from fountain and had been re-
leased latter less than twelve hours of i'm
prisonment."
Nest Impoztant Area
lHE Free Territory of Trieste is being occu-
pied by 5000 British, 5000 American and
5000 Yugoslav troops. The British-American
zone comprises only one sixth of the Terri
tory's total area, but includes the city and
the port of Trieste, shipbuilding yards, refin-
ing plants and four fifths of the population
over 100000 people, many of them enjoying
an artificial prosperity owing to the presence
of the United States Army.
On the other hand, Zone B., administered
by the Yugoslavs, is a sparsely populated,
poorly cultivated rural area where 10000
people live in utter poverty The Yugoslavs
have carried out an extensive agrarian reform.

Record Heavy Fog Continues Blanket Over West Europe

LONDON, (P) - The heaviest fog in generation blanketed western Europe for the fifth con- secutive day today.
 Traffic hazards and accidents in dozen miSt-swatched countries increased hourly. Planes were grounded and bus, train and street car schedules disrupted.
 Southampton was an exception, however The fog lifted and sum- light gleamed through the clouds.
 The British liners Queen Eliza bet, Queen Mary and Aquitania, seized the opportunity to quit the docks for voyages to America.
 The two Queens are going to New York, with stops at Cher bourg, France, where each will pick up additional passengers. There were 2,890 passengers on board the sister ships when they left England. The Queen Mary was a week behind schedule.
 Elsewhere in Britain, the fog hung over cities and countryside. Conditions in the London area were described as chaotic Mem bers of Parliament bedded down in the House of Commons. Rail road stations were damned with thousands of stranded travellers and commuters.
 A crew of London firemen ran in relays for a mile to guide their engine to blaze in bomb-dam- aged building.
 Three British railroad accidents were set down to the fog. A total of four persons were killed and 45 injured in the accidents.

Aleutian Island Natives ''Free from Heart Disease"

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, (P) - In habitants of the Aleutian Islands enjoy almost complete freedom from heart diseases, a Harvard expedition to the North Pacific is lands disclosed today.
 The expedition, under the direc- ton of Harvard's Peabody Muse um, spent last summer in the sub Arctic area studying the habits, history and health of the Aleuts, Mongoloid inhabitants of the bar ren islands stretching between North America and Asia.
 The expeditions findings were announced in a report by the Pea body Museum.
 Taking part in the unusual sci entific study were anthropologists, orthodontists, cardiologists, ethnol- ogists, archeologists and linguists.
 Dr. Fred Alexander, cardiolo- gist, at Massachusetts General hospital, examined l32 of the less than 1000 natives. He said they were found to be almost com pletely free from heart disease but that infectious diseases, tuber- culosis and venereal disease, were taking agreat toll of life"
 Dr. Alexander said "There is a possibility that diet may be largely responsible for the absence of heart disease in the older Aleuts.' ''
 Those findings, reported the ex- petition leaders, have led scien- tists "t owonder if fish and meat, the main foods, may be partially responsible for the small amount of heart trouble found"

Students Practice "Black Outs"

AVA, H., (P-A high school principal has warned students they will be expelled from school if they continue the fad of self inducted blackouts which he had ordered halted.
 The blackouts-termed red outs by the students were described by an Ava physician as comparable to blackouts suffered by fliers in pulling out of ong,steep dives.
 In Chicago, Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association, termed the practice as evidence of mass psychological disturbances which occur among adolescents from time to time."
 Ava school officials said in the method reported used by some stu dents. the subject kneels, breathes deeply about 10 times, clasps his lips tightly around his thumb, puffs out his cheeks and holds his breath until he goes into an ap- parent coma.
 Hammack said the practice came to a head when a girl fresh man blacked herself out 15 times.
