Status Of Reservists
Is Subject Of Study,
Truman Reveals

The status of reservists now on
duty in the armed services is now
being studied by a special Defense
Department committee and a
report is expected within a week
to 10 days, officials said today.
President Truman mentioned
the study yesterday and said that
he hoped that a fair arrangement
to assure the reservists Of jobs
would be worked out.
The chief executive commented
that a lot Of reserve members of
the armed forces were being dis
charged from their jobs because
Of uncertainty about their status.
That is not the patriotic thing
to do, Mr.. Truman commented.
Instead, he added, they should
have priority in jobs.
Army, Navy and Air Force Off
cials have said that conclusion of
the Korean war would not mean
any letup in the buildup of Amer
ica's armed strength and pre-
sumably that will mean that yet
additional reservists will be nee
essary to increase 1t to more than
3 million men.
At least half of that total will
be in the Army. At present. it is
estimated that more than 100000
officers and men are in the Army.
However, the Defense Department
stopped releasing publicly the
armed services strength shortly
after the start of Korean hos
tilities.

Czech Accuses West
OF Using Refugees
In War Psychology
BY the Associated Press

MONTE CARLO, Oct. 90
Czechoslovakia accused the West
ern powers today of "unofficially
maintaining" refugee problem
in Germany as a springboard for
a new war.
The charge highlighted stormy
session of the 54-nation Red Cross
League. The Czech delegate. Dr.
Jof Skvaril, declared the problem
of West German refugees lis arti-
fically maintained and exag-
gerated with the sole object of
proving the necessity of revising
the Potsdam agreement.
He said the refugee situation
in Germany sis the product of the
capitalist system which, with a
desire of using Germany as base
for a new war, gives no work to
refugees, but psychologically pre-
pares them for revenge-that is,
new war"
DR.. Skvaril declared there are
Al million refugees in the British
zone, "a million in the American
zone and 100000 in the French
zone. He added, "the other part
of Germany, the German demo-
cratic republic, has no refugee
problem because the whole popu-
lation has helped the government.
in a spirit of constructive CO.
operation. to provide refugees with
definite work"
DR.. Skvaril's attack came after
a Swedish proposal that the Red
Cross hold an international meet
ing in Germany to study practical
solutions for improving the refu-
gee situation.
The Western delegations backed
the Swedish proposal. 1t was
accepted, 39-6-with two absten-
tions. the United States and Japan.
United States Delegate James T.
Nicholson explained that he had
sabstained because "it is no longer
necessary to make studies, facts
are known and it is time some
thing was done"

Brain injuries at birth some

These injuries can sometimes be

 Particularly remarkable is the ability of the director with his use of small casual soaps of existence which are neither plot, nor incident, nor even descriptive, nor revealing of mood or character, but are merely themselves, or of the essence of being.
 These shots are so ordered they are fully articulate in their own perfect language.
 Admission will be 70 cents, plus tax. A short film on duck hunting, furnished by Al Garbutt's Hobby Shop, will precede the main film.
