government officials said yester-

War Situation Bars
Reserve Point Plan,
Pentaeon Declares

The world situation has, pre-
vented new point system for
overseas assignment of enlisted
reservists from being put in use
by the Army.
The Pentagon announced Oc-
tober % that Army reservists with
long World War II combat service
would be released first or sent
overseas last.
But a Pentagon spokesman said
today that. while the plan has not
been formally cancelled, it has
been held in allegiance because Of
needs Of the service. The main
cause Of delay results from calls
for requirements in Korea.
Army Issues Statement.
Taking notice of complaints, the
Army issued a blunt statement
today. Referring to the individ-
ual Reservist, the Army said:
Presumably he was accepted
in the Reserve and voluntarily
went into the Reserve Corps be-
cause he wanted the Government
to take advantage of his skills in
time of emergency"
1t also pointed out that if men
with particular specialties were
required lengthy World War II
service in itself would not exclude
him from being assigned to duty
overseas"
If any man feels he is being
treated unfairly he may complain
to the inspector general, the Army
said. eff his complaint is deemed
proper he will be afforded relief
as indicated"
One Washington reservist, now
at Fort Dix. has another view
point. according to his wife, who
called The Star today to ask
about the point system.
She said her husband told her
every one in his outfit was being
shipped to the West Coast for
assignment to the Far East Com
mand, regardless of skills or COM
bat service. He was a veteran Of
the Okinawa campaign of 1945.
War Seemed Near End.
The point system was set up at
q time when the war in Korea
seemed to be about over. The
entry Of the Chinese Reds has
changed the picture completely.
Many reservists who expected
early release on the basis Of the
announcement are now getting
orders to Korea.
Under the October 28 plan, re-
servists with the lowest score
within the desirable military
occupational speciality" were to be
assigned first. Points were to be
awarded on the following basis:
One for each year of reserve
service. l for each year Of age
over 81. 2 for each combat award,
4 for each year Of active duty, 4
for each year Of overseas service
and 8 for each dependent.

Kronheim Thanks Firm
For Dropping Suit

Municipal Court Judge Milton
s. Kronheim, jr., has given thanks
to a jewelry company for enabling
him to dismiss its suit against a
$33-a-week busboy who signed to
buy a $50, ring at So week but
never got the ring or paid any
money.
Attorneys for the New York
Jewelry Co. moved in the small
claims branch of the court yester-
day for dismissal Judge Kron-
helm said he would grant the
motion with thanks" He ex-
planned he otherwise would have
been. caught between "the alb
stract concept Of justice Of an
individual Judge" and higher court
rulings that litigants should not
be deprived Of lawful claims based
on written contracts. 49,.
Il think the court would have
been forced to do just that in this
case If you had not taken this
action" he said.
The case went back to August
"a when Ben Ramey, 20, of the
900 block of Twelfth street NE.
was walking with girl friend
and passed the jewelry store. At
the invitation Of a salesman who
told him he would need no i'm
mediate cash to buy. Mr.. Ramey
picked out a birthstone ring and
signed some papers.
He was told he would get the
ring when he established his credit
by obtaining his brothers sigma
ture. The brother told him not
to go back. Mr.. Ramey said he
forgot about the matter until he
received a summons. A salesman
testified that Mr.. Ramey had
signed a contract to pay So a week
for the ring.

Taft Answers Questions Freely.
Senator Taft. beaming over his
landslide victory in Ohio, drew
one of the largest press confer
ences in many years as he an
swered freely a volley of ques-
tions on every current issue. High
lights Of his answers were:
/. The short lame duck" ses-
sion Of the old Congress, meeting
November 27. is not likely to pass
any major bills unless they deal
with some emergency.
2. He gave a frank "yes" an
swer to the question, will you
accept" If the next Republican
national convention nominates
him for President in 1852. but he
repeated an earlier statement that
he will not campaign to get it.
3. He thinks the Taft-Hartley
labor law is pretty permanently
on the books. but still fayors more
than a score Of notifications he
supported In this Congress. The
new labor bill was sidetracked in
the House after passing the
Senate.
Opposes Controls Now.
4. He does not think price and
wage controls are necessary now.
He made clear his belief that
whether they become necessary
later will depend on how heavy
defense spending and higher
taxes react on the general price
situation.
Senator Taft obviously was
elated over his reelection by q
majority Of 100000 votes, despite
all efforts of labor leaders to beat
him. He said he felt sure many
working men voted for him, be-
cause he carried every urban
county In Ohio, which included
those covering Cleveland, Cincin-
natl. Columbus, Toledo. Akron,
Youngstown, Dayton and Canton
He explained that some Of those
cities. taken separately from the
surrounding counties, we're car
ried by the Democrats.
"Mr. Republican" as he has
come to be known, took pains to
remind the reporters that other
Republicans did not carry big
cities outside of Ohio, such as
New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Detroit. This indicated
to some observers that Mr.. Taft
believes he has refuted the argu-
ment of his rivals in the Republi-
can Party that he could not be
elected. if nominated for Presi-
dent. because OF labor's opposition
Sees 3 Points In Elections.
He told his press conference
the elections indicated three
things to him. namely: That the
people "are not going to accept
dictation from the CIO Political
Action Committee" that they are
not in favor OF the Truman do
meStic program, particularly So
cialized medicine and the Bran
nan farm plan. and, third, that
the returns indicate a "lack OF
confidence In the Presidents for
eign policy"
His specific answer to the ques-
ton about future foreign military
aid follows:

aid to Europe. I think we have

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Brannon Smith

We call your attention to a mes
sage from the Durant Junior
Chamber Of Commerce which ap-
pears elsewhere on this page. It
is a very appropriate suggestion
at this time that we should try our
home merchants first when we 70
to do our Christmas shopping.
1t is a fact that our local mer-
chants carry many nationally
known lines of merchandise and
toys of all kinds - and that at
Christmas time they try to have a
stock ample for all local needs.
It Is also fact that many times
thoughtless citizens 60 out of
town and buy the same merchan-
disc they could have purchased at
home. 1
Our Durant merchants pay a
large portion Of the taxes which
support our community and its
schools. They help support every
worthwhile activity in the com
munity. 1t is the merchants we
call upon when we want to raise
some money for our churches,
clubs and school - or for any
community activity.
1t is only sporting that we give
them the opportunity to supply
us with our needs first. This
should be true not only at Christ
mas but throughout the entire
year. Certainly we call upon
them the year round and expect
them to respond.
If everyone who lives in Du-
rant would spend every dollar
possible here for the needs of him.
self and his family the volume of
business done in the community
would be much greater - and
everyone who lives here would be
more prosperous.
Every dollar you spend in Du-
rant has a chance to come back
to you.
