Pants Make The
Austrian

VIENNA - up - The pride and
joy Of most Austrian males is a
pair of short, thigh-length leather
pants which through daily use and
years of wear, are so stiff they will
stand upright if you set them on
the floor. These are "LederhOsen. .
For hundreds of years, they were a
national peasant costume. In re-
cent years; they have made their
way to the cities as a summer out
fit. Even the Austrian Chancellor
wears them.
Much to the shock of Austrian
men a woman editorial writer in a
Vienna socialist newspaper now
has bitterly denounced them as a
national evil
With a people in Lederhosen,
anything can be done, provide it
is primitive and lacks spirit and
culture. Austrians in Lederhosen
supported Hitler in 1885," she said.
Zone day, perhaps, Austrians in
Lederhosen will do their national
dance in front of the Kremlin."
A Viennese in a particularly
black pair Of Lederhosen replied
bitterly:

visits who do not fall in this class
then will have at least four months
in which they will not be notified
Of recall unless there is a mate
rial change in military require
ments."
2. When notice is sent, a reser-
visit will have at least 80 days be-
tween the time he is called and the
date on which he must report
1.-THE time now varies considerably
with the services, running be-
tween Is and 30 days.)
To Keep Data Up To Date
3. Each service, as soon as poss-
ible, is to go carefully over its
lists of reservists in order to bring
information on each one up to
date.
4. As soon as practicable, each
service will remove from its active
reserve list all reservists who, for
physical or for other valid reasons
determined by the service, are not
available for extended active duty.
5. Each service will keep reserv-
lists on active duty involuntarily
only until: (A) The manpower re-
quireInents can be met by the draft
or volunteers; OBJ The involuntary
reserYists and units have reached
a maximum state Of training"
This replaces the present policy of
calling reservists for an indefinite
period in order to bring about a
rapid expansion Of the armed
forces.
A spokesman for the board said
it was not possible to say how long
it would take to achieve a maxi
mum state Of training" for such
units as a National Guard division
or a Reserve unit.
In answer to another question,
he said that a draftee who was in
a National Guard division which
was demobilized after its federal
service would be transferred to an
other unit
To End Uncertainty
The directive said the new policy
was intended to eliminate 'the I'M
certainty with which both the en-
ployer and the reservist employee
presently are confronted and to
eliminate or reduce to minimum
the inequities in the recall of re-
servists to active duty"
In addition to complaints by the
reservists, business and industrial
concerns have voiced dissatisfac-
ton with the varying policies now
in force.
Among examples is the case of
a Tennessee businessman who had
two of his key men alerted for call
to active duty. To be prepared, he
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1950-10-27

hired two other men to train them
as requirements while also keep
ing his two regular men on the
payroll. After a month, the re-
servists still had not been sum
moned to duty and the business
man still was keeping all four men
on his payroll.
Urges Expansion of Marines
Meanwhile, expansion Of the Uni
ted States Marine Corps for poss-
ible use as a United Nations police
force was suggested by Chairman
Vinson (D-Ga) of the House Arm
ed Services Committee.
Vinson advanced the idea in an
News and World Report maya
zine.
In addition, Vinson advocated
establishment of an armed force of
100000 men for this country at
an estimated annual cost of from
S35,OO0,O00,O00 to $4,000, 100000.
He said the United States should
"get away from letting the Soviet
Union dictate our military policy"
and should have "a stable, long
range policy that can ride over pe-
riodic crises without all this com
motion, disturbance, ineficiency
and terrible waste"
For the Marine Corps. Vinson
proposed at least four combat divi-
sions-requiring a total of about
100000 men-and "a air squadrons.
instead Of the two war-strengtb
divisions and Is air squadrons now
planned.
THE Marines" he said, could
be used quite effectively in connec-
ton with the police force of the
United Nations. The Marines
are peculiarly adapted to the pres
ent situation of the world. In
fact, the Marines have been used
for this kind of purpose for so
long that they almost have an in
ternational flavor about them
Vinson said there should be no
slackening of the defense pro-
gram simply because the situation
IN Korea has become brighter.
Because of the manpoWer short
age, VinsOn said, men drafted into
the armed forces should be reuuir-
ed to serve for "a months instead
Of q, and the draft age may have
to be raised.

Family Freezers

Family buying of meat to store

counters and can be expected. TO

according to extension home econ
Omists at the University of Della
ware.
The trend in recent years has
been toward more and larger home
freezers, and refrigerators with
freezing compartments. This fam
lily storage space now adds up to
more than the space used for meat
in commercial cOld-stOrage houses
A billion pounds of meat could
be stored in deep-freezers and
lockers if average Mr.. Freezer
Owner uses somewhat more than
half his freezer space for meat.
says u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture economists. A billion pounds
of meat is so per cent more than
all the meat and meat products in
commercial cold-storage in July
this year.
II consumers buy meat for stor-
age when supplies are large and
prices down, they can help keep
meat supplies and prices steady
and benefit their family budget. But
if they buy when supplies are
short they can cause sharp rises
in price.
This happened last summer, say
che home economists. Families
bought meat for freezing in mid
summer, the seasonal low for
meats. These families will buy. less
meat this fall than they would have
if they had waited until the autumn
flush season of heavy slaughter to
restock their freezers and lockers.

Fate Of I Is Not Known

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July g.
a Bit missing overnight was
found wrecked yesterday in Kulak
Bay on Adak Island, but the fate
of the seven men aboard was not
learned. Their names have been
withheld.
The big bomber, a 10th Rescue
Squadron plane, took off Tuesday
night for Shemya at the tip of the
Aleutians to pick up sick personnel
for a fight to Elmendorf Air Force
base here.
Radio contact with the craft was
lost soon after the takeoff. Bad
weather hindered the search for
the missing ship until 6 am. yes
terday, when another Bit sighted
the wreckage.
A Navy crash boat was sent to
the bay in the Aleutian Island
chain and identified the plane as
the missing Bit. The weather was
extremely poor when the plane
took of, with the ceiling at 1000

The complicated political pic

to the military picture, as far as
Gen. Macarthur is concerned
Since President Truman accepted
his military views on the Far East
and ordered the feet to protect
Formosa, Gen. Macarthur paic
little attention to diplomatic va
garies. Thus, he felt free to SEND
the now highly publicized mes
sage to the Veterans of Foreign
Wars convention. 1t was, as fal
as he knew, in no way contrary
to the avowed policy Of his Com

It is assumed, however, that the

Hence. President Truman was
prompted to advise Gen. Mac
Arthur to withdraw the message
long after it had been distributed

issue. Some Republican political

it would only be the beginning
not the end, of the war we, don't
want.
Nevertheless talk Of that kind
is harmful, particularly when II
comes. as 1t did last week, from q
commander of the American
Legion. 1t encourages the de-
velopment of a sentiment among
the people certain to handicap the

f1uence the Government, since
ours is Government resting on
the popular will.
If this is true as to private
citizens it Is much more true as
to Government officials. And any
Government official guilty of CIV
ing way to his personal impatience
regardless of consequences, should
be retired to private life.

That applies to Francis P. Mat
thews, Secretary Of the Navy.
The United States, said Mr.
Matthews in q public speech
should declare it's intention "tc
pay any price, even the price OF
instituting a war, to compel CO.

avowed this utterance as in any
way rejecting American policy
and declared the Government does
not favor instituting a war of any
kind. Mr.. Matthews said he was
only expressing his personal views
If Mr.. Matthews doesn't under
stand that in matters of this kind
a Secretary of the Navy cannot
express merely personal views, he
is lacking in the ordinary COM
mon sense which his position calls
for. If he doesn't understand that
there can be no such thing as q

man to guide the thinking of the

of Industrial Organizations. Mr..
Pressman was counsel for the CIO
from its birth pangs when John L.
Lewis acted as midwife to its
lusty maturity under Philip MUIR
ray who took over when Mr.. Lewis
guessed wrong on the 1910 elec-
ton.
Tough and Often Arrogant.
The CIO was and remains q
study in controversy and Mr..
Pressman. a tough and often ar
rogant intellectual. was one Of its
most controversial figures. His
niche in CIO history is naturally
hotly disputed.
His admirers declare he fur
nished the CUTS. bone and sinew
of those hard years in complement
to Mr.. Murray's idealism and
noble spirit. Mr.. Pressman has
testified that nobody In the CIO
ever asked him If he were q Com
munist. The comment Of his
friends is that nobody did because
they were afraid he'd say yes and
they were scared Of having to fire
Him.
Pressman detractors assert that
his part has been exaggerated, the
CIO counsel is not as important
as generally supposed and he
isn't so smart anyway. They are
on considerably firmer ground
when they say that Mr.. Pressman
was much less effective than he
could have been II he were not
constantly torn between his trade
union aims and Communist sym
pathies.
In any case. the newest re-
pentant Communist remained as
Murray's principal legal adviser
during all the turbulent prewar,
war and postwar years, a fact
that speaks for itself. He resigned
in 1948. by which time the CIO
was glad to see his dear back.
Mr.. PreSSman has made over
lures recently to Mr.. Murray and
to other influential figures in the
CIO, suggesting that he would
like to come home. 1t Is under

devout Catholic Murray as indis-
pensable preliminaries to any

that enemy. Beyond that, utiliz-
ing our country's great physical
resources and, we believe, our
great moral resources, it is en-
deavoring to turn this time Of
grave danger into a time of new
hope for the world. The under
taking goes beyond national de-
fense and looks to a world organ
ization that will make possible the
peaceable settlement of differ
ences among nations.
Easy to Despair.
Thanks to the nature of our
principal enemy it is easy to de-
spair of ever accomplishing this
second objective. The temptation
is to give 1t up as a poets dream,
beyond the capacity of common
humans to realize. But the re-
SponSible administration doesn't
dare relinquiSh the dream nor to
falter in the painful processes of
achieving it. The consequences of
failure are too clear.
Individual citizens may grow
impatient and say to hell with the
whole business; let's load up our
planes with atomic bombs and
send them winging to Moscow
There is a good deal Of that kind
of thinking, or emotion. in this
country now. It isn't going to
happen, since most military men
