Robert Bruce (Bob) Matthias, who
amazed the sports world by winning
the decathlon in the I948 Olympic
Games in London, was just another
student at Kiski Prep in Salisbury,
Pa. today, after a whirlWind tour
of Washington.
During his brief visit, the IT.
year-old marvel from Tulare, Calf,
had every reasonable honor heaped
on him except the privilege of pur-
chasing pair of trousers.
Matthias quit his last class at
Kiski at 8 pm. yesterday and, ac-
companied by DR.. Lloyd M. Clark,
president of the school, flew to Ma
tional Airport.
He was whisked to the White
House, where President Truman de-
livered his personal congratulations.
He was named officially as Ameri-
cas- Youth of the Year" during

He was feted by Attorney General
Clark in the latter's private Offices
and, later, he joined Mr.. Clark in
a coast-to-coast radio broadcast.
But he never got a chance to pick
up those city-bought pants. Time
ran out on the young athlete, 6
feet, 2 inches tall and weighing 1873
pounds. Governmental hospitality
was too much to permit a shopping
tour.

ly. II guess I'll just have to wait

Army and Air Force Set
Enlistment Record, but
Draft Figure Stands

Draft-age men have flooded Army
and Air Force recruiting stations
for the second successive month.
officials disclosed today that men
13 through Is years old-who will
complete their selective service reg
istration Saturday-had set new
Army peacetine voluntary recruit
ing record with $4,000 signing up in
August.
1t was the largest monthly total
since the war and compared with
the $4,000 figure in July, which had
broken all other records this year.
The influx of volunteers was
attributed to the fact that prospec-
tive inductees preferred to sign up
rather than wait to be drafted.
Navy Results Unavailable.
The Air Force, which has been
holding down the number of its VOL
unteers because of budget limita-
tions, signed up 1858 in August,
compared with 10.442 in July. Navy
results were not Immediately avail
able.
The number of volunteers deter
mines the number of men the Army
must ask Selective Service to in
duct each month, but the record
August recruiting apparently will
have no immediate effect on the
services induction plants since per-
sonnel officers predicted today that
1000 draftees would be needed in
December, or 5000 more than No
vember's call.
The Army hopes to build to its
100000 authorized strength as quick
lily as possible and the number OF
draftees is likely to rise steadily
each month this year until around
10000 will be taken monthly next
year.
