d. C. Recruiting Sets Mark.
The 478 voluntary enlistments
at the Army-Air Force recruiting
center at Arlington Farms and in
downtown Washington was the
best July record for any such re-
cruiting detachment in the United
States, Army authorities an
nounced yesterday.
Almost 1,100 men applied for
enlistment there during the
month. Air Force S/Sergt. Will
liam D. Lucas was given trophy
by Capt. William w. Cumbey.
commander of the recruiting cen
ter, for having been top re-
cruiter" in obtaining 40 enlistees.
Navy recruiting officials here
reported previously that during
July it accepted 121 men out of
several hundred applicants.
The Marine Corps recruiters re-
ported no shortage of applicants
last month but said they were
disappointed that only 80 of 800
could be accepted.
Capt. Warren r. Lloyd and
Sergt. Nick Gledich of the re-
cruiting office at 400 Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV. reported that
about so per cent of the 800
applicants were married and 30
per cent of the others were re-
jected for physical reasons, prin-
cipally bad teeth.
Capt. Lloyd made special ap-
peal to young unmarried men to
come in for interview. Former
Marines who are married can re-
enlist.
Many Of the 800 who applied
during July, he said. wanted to
start out Immediately as officers.
They were told that the policy is
flor Marines to start out at the bot
tom and go through the mill.
An unusually large percentage of
the men examined so far through
out the United States failed to
meet qualifications. That is one
reason why many more men are
being called for induction
tests this week.
In the examinations so far, 20

Navy Ripping Covers
Off Light Carrier at
Base in Philadelphia
BY the Assoeioied Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-The
Navy today began ripping the
wells off one of it's lightweight
fighting ladies-the aircraft car
rier Monterey.
The work of stripping mothball
swathings off the Monterey be-
gan within an hour after orders
came from Washington to put her
back in fighting form. She is one
of several 15,000-ton carriers that
were laid up at the Philadelphia
Navy Base in 1946.
How many more of the car
riers, cruisers and other warshipS
lying idle here are to be re-
activated, the Navy did not say.
Congressional sources said this
week that six light carriers will
be returned to duty. The Navy
would say only that the Monterey
is being put back in shape to
meet anticipated needs in the
coming year."
Teams Ready To Act.
Philadelphia's huge Navy base,
headquarters of the 4th Naval
District, has an armada of care
fully mummifled fighting power
af1oat at its piers. At the base are
several "activation instruction
teams" trained as experts in the
protective coverings and opera
tion of the mothballed ships. AS
a crew of up to 1900 men is
called aboard the Monterey, Al
teams will show them how to strip
her for action, and operate her.
Al men were busy with the pre-
liminaries today.
Capt. Willard j. Suits, Glovers-
vile, N. Y. commander of the
Philadelphia group, Atlantic Re
serve Fleet, said the Monterey
should be in fighting trim within
212 months.
Where she will take aboard
her warplaneS, or who will COM
mand her are not yet known,
Capt. Suits said.
Ship Has Proud Record.
In little less than two years
of fighting in the Pacific the
Monterey hung up one of the
Navy's proudest and most active
records. Her battleboard-a rec
ord of her achievements painted
on the side of her command tower
shows five enemy warships and
16 enemy merchant ships sunk,
strikes on so islands, 121 planes
shot down in the air and 376
destroyed aground.
The Monterey was laid down as
cruiser in the New York ship
yards at Camden, N. j., in 1943.
With eight sister ships she was
converted while under construc-
tion into a medium carrier. One
Of these, the Princeton, was sunk
in the Second Battle of the Phil
tppines. Another, the Independ-
ence, was sunk after the atomic
bomb tests at Bikini.

U. s. 9th ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN KOREA, Aug. 5.-United
States and South Korean forces
stabilized their front more firmly
during the last week with arrival
of much-needed reinforcements.
Allied defenses we're also
strengthened by Withdrawals to
the Naktong River line to the
west, and to mountain pass
defense line on the north.
Since the Withdrawals Wednes-
day night and Thursday morn
ing, Korean Communists appeared
to need time to bring up forces
for the river crossing assault
aimed at the key base city of
Taegu. Is miles southeast of the
main highway crossing at Waeg-
wan.
Since their four battalion at
tack east of Chinju was repulsed
Thursday by the American 25th
Division, the Korean Communists
on the deep south front also ap-
peared to need more time to build
up a spearhead drive for Pusan,
40 miles east of the American
defense line.
In three full days without an
attack on the defended Naktong
line, the Americans have had time
to deploy, organize and prepare
their positions.
Red Reinforcements Shifted.
There was evidence that the
Communists are shifting REIN
forcements to the Chinju sector
and would make their biggest
push to close on Pusan on the
south coast. The 25th Division
expected Red attack there Sat-
urday, but it failed to develop.
However. the Reds were COM
mitted fully and their next attack
could come at any moment.
The first shots fired in what
may develop into a major battle
for the vital base city of Taegu
were United States artillery shells.
American guns started firing in
terdiction rounds Friday night to
slow the night-moving Red ad-
vance eastward from fallen Kum-
chon, where considerable Red
buildu was observed.
Five Red tanks reached the
west bank Of the Naktong River
Saturday, south of Waegwan. But
they were knocked out by air
strikes and artillery before they
could fire shot.
The first Red artillery shells
hitting across the Naktong were
aimed Thursday afternoon at the
Taegu Changmyong highway
about IA miles southwest of Taegu.
The highway closely skirts the
Naktong River there and shelling
closed the important United
States supply road.
Not Wasting Ammunition.
| But the Reds did not keep up
shelling Friday or Saturday. .Ap-
parently they weren't wasting am
munition because they obviously
had good observation that the
highway no longer was carrying
traffic.
The first Red crossings of the
Naktong on its southerly course
were made Saturday east and
southeast of Sangju against no
opposition. These crossings were
made Is miles north of Waegwan
in the South Korean Army's front
area where planned Withdrawals
already were made to hill posi-
tionS.
But if those crossings were built
up by the Communists they could
organize a new threat to Taegu

BY the Asseciessd Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-An inf1a-
minded stock market buzzed
close to a four-year high this week.
Stock traders ignored generous
helping of unfavorable news. news
which ordinarily might be expect
ed to give the market a man-sized
wallop.
Instead, traders concentrated on
fat dividends, high earnings, hopes
that corporate cash registers would
be kept jingling with record profits.
More important were new price
advances in basic commodities and
industrial raw materials, and the
possibility that further increases
might be around the corner.
Rise in Final Session.
Fridays trading was notable for
the fact that stocks advanced
smartly despite the approach of
q long week end which was sched-
uled to include President Truman's
radio talk on the subject of eco
nornic controls. Usually traders
shy away from vigorous action on
q Friday on the thsory that their
positions might be endangered by
upsetting weekend news.
Brushed aside just as casually
was the revival of efforts to get
through an excess profits tax in
this session of Congress. The
war news from Korea, disclosing
new threats to the United Ma
tons forces, had little apparent
effect on the price trend.
On only one day this week did
the market lose ground. On
Wednesday prices were cut back
but it was due more to jaded
buying appetites than to whole
hearted selling.
Rails Take Lead.
Thursday railway stocks took
over command Of the market.
Helped along by an official re-
port of a steep increase in July
earnings, plus an increased divi-
dend by Seaboard Air Line dur
ing the day, the entire price list
moved up.
Friday the rails sparked an
other rise which included most of
the markets pivotal issues. Both
sales volume and the number of
issues traded reached the highest
level in three weeks.
The rails, on average, touched
their highest point since June,
1916. according to the Associated
Press average Of Is rail stocks.
Demand for carrier issues ap-
peared to be based on pretty solid
ground. July income was almost
double a year earlier. Increased
efficiency was clearly
reflected.

systems looked rosy. Not only was
