THE ZION EXCHANGE
CHR

AS usual last Tuesday, the
Zion Exchange club members
met at Peacy's Manor House
for their weekly get-to-gether.
After DR.. Boyd, the clubs
president, had attended to
some business in connection
with the clubs program of ma
king and placing new street
markers at all street corners,
the club heard from John Som,
one of it members, a report on
the doings at the regular city
council meeting the preceding
week.
Judge L. Eric Carey then ad-
dressed the members and in a
limited talk gave a very instruc-
tive history of how jury service
began and came down through

ZION CONSERVATORY OF
MUSIC REGISTRATION DAY
SEPTEMBER 1

AS a community, Zion is re-
cognized as outstanding in the
development of her musical
and dramatical talent. Edu-
Gators and those dealing with
juvenile delinquency have
found that children whose tai
ents are developed, those who
learn to devote a certain period
of each day to study of this
kind, are more likely to sue
coed in life and become good
citizens than those whose tai
ents are ignored or neglected.
Encourage your children to
learn the joy of good music.
Registration Day for the
students of Zion Conservatory
of Music will be Thursday,
September /, from 800 to 500
pm. in the Conservatory stu
dios, second floor of the Adj
ministration Building.

Administration 10 Ask
Extension
|0f Peacetime Draft
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Extension of the peacetime draft
law for another three years will
be sought by the administration
when Congress convenes next
month.
Although many members have
shown reluctance to renew the
law, Secretary of Defense johnson
and Secretary of State Acheson
are expected to defend its need as
part of the effort to combat Com
munism.
Mr.. johnson has advised con-
gressional leaders that the unset
tied world conditions which led
the administration to seek enact
ment of the present law, in 1948,
are still evident.
The law now on the books is
due to expire June "a. 1850.
The armed services generally
have been able to get needed man
power through volunteers without
resorting to draft calls in the 18
to 25 age bracket.
One congressional source. who
asked that his name not be used.
said the selective service exten-
sion "is number one item on de-
|fense legislative musts."
Mr.. johnson already has in
formed Congress that continual
ton of the draft machinery is
Essential to national security"
$16,70O,000 Sought.
Mr.. johnson has asked an an
nual fund of 6,700,000 to oper-
ate the Nationwide system of
registering and classifying youths
from 18 through rs years.
Mr.. Johnson's communication to
congressional leaders cited several
points to support his requests.
The draft is needed, he said. to
back up President Truman's dec
laration that the United States
supports the powerful forces for
freedom, justice and peace which
are represented by the United Ma
tions and the free nations of the
world"
Mr.. johnson added that Mr..
Acheson fears the end of selective
service might be regarded abroad
as inconsistent with our policies
under the Atlantic pact and mill
tary assistance program.
World Conditions Cited.
Finally, he said, unsettled world
conditions which caused passage
of the 1948 peacetime draft still
prevail.
Since the present act is consid-
erably less than the Administra-
ton originally asked, this ap-
peared to be a concession to a
strong congressional feeling that
the need for the draft no longer
exists.
Even Chairman Tydings of the
Senate Armed Services Committee
said it may be difficult to get
Congress to approve an extension.

Still another new motion pic

trepreneur is Sam Roth. who has
acquired a building on New York
avenue near Fourteenth street,
and who will remodel the lower
floor to provide a modern. 275-
seat film theater.
The new house already has a
name, the Plaza, but Roth has
not finally decided upon an op-
Grating policy. His feeling at the
moment is that there are as
many art houses as there are art
pictures to 60 around. maybe too
many. In view of this. he thinks
perhaps a policy of high class re-
vivals might be the most effective
one for the Plaza, at least for a
time.

be finished in January.
