Wartime CI's Not Subject To
 Draft Law

WASHINGTON (P-Army and air force veterans who were dis charged after the last war and who didn't sign up for the re- serves then-cannot be recalled to service on the ground that the war emergency has never ended officially.
 Tn general, that was the reply of army and air force spokesmen Saturday to these two questions being raised by veterans:
 1. In case of Presidential call up of reservists, what would be the status of former officers who did not sign up for the reserve commissions after their war serv- ice?
 2. Could a discharged CT be called back to service on the ground that the draft law which was in effect during the war ob- ligated him to serve for the dura- ton and six months?
 The air force said any air off cer who was separated from the service, without signing up for a new reserve commission, could not recalled. In case the country should find itself in a new emer- gency, a spokesman said, the air force would review the rolls of former officers and offer new commissions to those it wanted. Those offered new commissions would not have to accept them. however. The spokesman added that discharge certificates protect enlisted air veterans of the war against being recalled.
 An army representative said former army officers, who were discharged from their commis- sion" and who did not sign up for new reserve commissions, could not be called back. However, some who were placed on inactive duty, rather than being discharged, could be.
 Wartime CTS who were dis charged couldn't be called back under the wartime draft law.
 In the navy, reserve officers commissions are for an indefinite period. Most naval reserve off cers were placed on inactive duty after the war. They are still in the reserve and subject to being re- called to duty. A few have been discharged or have resigned, how ever.
 Former navy enlisted men, if they did not enlist against follow ing discharge during mobilization, have the same status as any other civilians.

TOKYO, July 21.-B-29 bombers

Communist-captured Seoul almost

Detailed analysis of reconnais-

rapidly decreasing supply of roll

An FEAT communique said this
damage. resulting from 500 tons
of bombs dropped in mass raid
Sunday, will prevent rail move
ments through Seoul to the south
ern battle lines and to the north
west coastal area for some time. "
The communique said repair

Cominform Agents Warned
OF Vacation DeadIine

CHICAGO, July 81 (CDN
Special and secret orders have
just been issued by Moscow to all
Cominform executives in Western
Europe to be back from summer
vacation not later than August 81,
These orders especially apply to
all paid agents of the Cominform
in France, Italy, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Western Ger
many.
Some will interpret the orders
as sign that Moscow has set the
first fortnight in September as
the deadline for another aggres-
sion, Korean fashion, this time
against Western Germany, Yugo-
slavia or Greece.
Another less ominous interpre--
tation is that Moscow wants its

LAKE SUCCESS, July 21.-The
United Nations top executive

Secretary General Trygye Lie

His aides have revealed moth
ing to correspondents here which
would match the optimism of an

who said his group is satisfied
with the responses.
Their attitude is that a week
is little enough time to get the
answers from the member ma

known that eight or nine coun-
tries had made preliminary offers
of help-none of them included
sending a foot soldier.
Lie Asked for Effective Aid.
