style-are going to be whisked into
uniform so fast they won't know
what hit them.
The draft proceedings will start
rolling Monday, August 30, when
the first of 100000 youths will
register. Registrations will con-
tinue on IT designated days extend
ing to September IS.
From these millions Of men,
volunteer draft boards throughout
the nation will select the manpower
to match the material build-up Of
air, land and sea forces called for
under the rearmament program.
Military men are set to welcome
the first draftees into their ranks
any time after September %. Under
the law actual drafting cannot start
until that date. The presidential
proclamation setting the registra-
ton dates did not specify when in
auctions would begin, but they are
not expected to start before October
Il.
The first draftee, it Is indicated,
will be Is, unmarried and non
veteran.
Although the actual decision on
who will be called first was being
eagerly awaited, especially by the
young men, 1t was limited that men
of Is may be the first ones called
in the draft. Reason for this is
obvious-they soon will be past the
laws age limit. If they are not
taken quickly they cannot be taken
at all. Although registration for
the draft runs from age 18 to rs.
only men 10 through Is may be
indicted. $3.50.
Although nothing in the regula-
tions thus far defers married men,
a later Presidential proclamation
is expected to grant them some
preference.
Almost all veterans are auto
matically deferred from further
service in the peacetime army.
Registration dates specified by
Mr.. Truman for each age follow:
The oldest group. meaning men
born in 1922 after August 80. 1922.

The old familiar pattern of just
one crisis after another in the cold
war between Russia on the one
hand and the western Allies on the
other was being repeated again in
the Berlin showdown. But an I'M
easy world watched anxiously,
fearful that at any moment some
crisis might explode into actual
warfare.
Urgency Of the Berlin crisis re-
suited in the recall of Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, U. S. military command
er in Germany, and his top politi-
cal adviser, Ambassador Robert
Murphy, for a first-hand report on
the situation.
Clay conferred with President
Truman, State Secretary Marshall
and Army Secretary Royal on
means of carrying out the Ameri-
can governments intention to stay
in Berlin despite the concerted Rus
sian drive to force the western
powers out.
The official line was laid down by
Secretary Marshall who said that
while the United States would not
be "coerced or intimidated" by the
Russian blockade of Berlin, the ad-
ministration nevertheless will PRO
coed to reach an acceptable solu-
ton to avoid the tragedy of war"
Although rumors that the Berlin
blockade might prove the spark
that would enkindle fighting war
fare permeated official quarters,
the U. S. position appeared to be
that this country hopes to avoid
war. However, if the Russians are
determined to cause more serious
trouble at Berlin, this government
is determined to resist force with
force. 1t is equally determined to
avoid taking any step which might
make the situation more serious
as long as negotiation and other
diplomatic means remain open.
There will be many more talks,
much painstaking DELHI er I'll n
among the western powers in con-
nection with the exchange of notes
regarding the Berlin blockade, ir-
retrievably linked up as it is with
the overall German settlement.
Marking the high water mark in
the deepening Berlin crisis and
lending emphasis to the determine
ton to back up its policy that
American troops will not leave
Berlin, the United States dispatched
powerful reinforcements to its air
arm in strife-torn Europe.
Economic paralysis spread in the
German capital as the effects Of the
Russian blockade became more
pronounced A steady procession of
United States and British planes,
laden with food and coal, were fly
ing from their own zones to relieve
the besieged capital. Russia at
tempted to impede these tactics by
using the air corridors for training
flights.
A big question mark still con-
cerned Russia's ultimate detectives.
Was the Kremlin merely trying to
drive the Allies out of Berlin or was
this but another step in the funda-
mental objective of moving the iron
curtain inexorably westward, coun-
try by country, until it embraced
the whole heartland of Europe?

Dear Mrs. Schroeder:
Enclosed you will find an item
for the Washington Grove News
of the Montgomery County Senti-
rel.
Especially do ] want to thank
you for calling to the attention of
the general public and especially
certain people their carelessness
in passing school busses. Too much
can't be said on this subject. AL
though my daughter will not at
tend kindergarten for two more
years, at times / think of this with
little apprehension-possibly be-
cause my brother was killed when
he was z crossing in back of a
school bus. Only since / have had
a child of my own have ! realized
now heartbroken and grlefstrlcken
my mother was as she picked up
his lifeless body. If these motorists
would only realize that few min
utes in this busy world might save
a life. / truly believe that children
are aware of the danger of cars
and try to be careful, but they are
so impulsive, eager and full of life
they may not think for a minute
Of the danger and dash ahead.
If / know of any news in the
future will certainly call you.
Sincerely yours,
JULIA S. MARKS.
