Army Of 7 Million
Reported Offered 10
u. N. by Egyptians
Proposal Declared Based
On Provision of Arms by
U. 5. and Other Nations
BY The Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. s.
Egypt was reported today to have
offered to contribute an army of
/ to 2 million men as part of a
permanent international force If
the United States and other
United Nations members will
supply the arms and equipment.
Informed quarters said the offer
was made by Egyptian Foreign
Minister Mohamed Salah-el-Din
at a private luncheon given yes
terday by Secretary of State Ache
son for heads of the Arab U. N.
delegations.
Want British to Leave.
The offer was understood to
have been made on the condition
that British troops are withdrawn
from Egyptian soil.
Salah-el-Din was understood to
have assured Mr.. Acheson that
Egypt would strongly support his
proposals to strengthen the U. N.
and prepare it to meet aggression.
He then made his offer.
The Egyptian suggestion con-
tanned these major points:
l. Egypt is a vital strategic area
because of the Suez Canal which
controls the eastern outlet of the
Mediterranean. The protection of
the Suez is essential to interna-
tlonal peace, but should not be left
IN the hands of Britain.
z. Egypt is a country of 20 mil
ion population and is capable of
rising an army of l or 2 million
without difficulty, provided the
arms and equipment are supplied
from the outside.
Could Protect Suez.
3. Egypt is willing to make this
force available as part of any
international force and to as
sumo the responsibility for pro-
tecting the Suez until reinforce
ments could be sent in by the
United Nations.
4. An Egyptian force is the
most logical choice for the defense
OF the Suez, since the troops would
oe lighting not only in the name
OF the U. N. but would be defend
ing their own homeland.

The Metropolitan Police De-

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S. The
Yankees and Phillies were slug
ging it out in the second game Of
the World Series here today as
both teams opened an early bat
ting attack.
The Phillies. facing an uphill
climb to offset the Yankees 1-to-0
victory yesterday, looked to young
Robin Roberts to square the series
today. He entered the, game
against Allie Reynolds of the
Yanks.
Expert opinion was more or less
that it was all or Moth
ing at all for the Whiz Kids in
this second game. They seemed
to figure that the Yankees would
take the series within three more
games, if the New Yorkers win
again today. That would prevent
the Phillies from returning to
their home park since the next
three contests are to be played in
Yankee Stadium.
There also was speculation that
jim Konstanty, who lost a tough
one to Vic Raschi yesterday,
would be called on to start an
other game for the Phils. 1t was
unlikely that he would be used
in his familiar relief role in the
next two days after the strain Of
his eight-inning starting stint.

concerned.
The city heads told Gov. Lane
OF Maryland and Gov. Battle OF
Virginia that plans for civil de-

close cooperation among the po-
litical entities making up the
metropolitan area.
They said they were calling the
conference after informal con-
sultation with the State civil de-

Reciprocal Aid Sought.
Purpose of the conference will
be to agree on means for CO.
ordinating local plans and to
assure that 'the support of the
entire area is extended to any
one of the communities which
might suffer damage in an enemy
attack"
The Commissioners said they
recognized also the need of Mary

coordinate their plans with
Statewide plans.
Representatives are invited from
Prince Georges, Montgomery.

The Governors were asked to
suggest any other areas or State

plan for Metropolitan area co-or-
dlnation. Attendance of the State

sentatives of the Governors also
was proposed.
Uniform Procedures.
The Commissioners noted that
the civil defense plan would re-
quire close cooperation ito the
end that our local planning may
proceed along uniform and paral-
lei lines as far as local conditions
and exlgencies permit, and that
each community may be in a posi-
tion either to receive assistance
from the entire area, if it is at
tackled, or to render assistance to
other communities which may be

SyImington Hints
AtDisagreen1ent
With Hershey
Will See Marshall
And Tobin to Mop
Monpower Policy

M bilization Co-ordinator
w. Stuart Symington disclosed
today he will try quickly to reach
IAN overall, agreed policy" on
sharing the manpower among
various requirements of the de-
fense program.
In reporting this, he limited at
disagreement with some of the
military draft policies advocated
by Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
director of selective service.
Mr.. Symington. head of the Ma
tional Security Resources Board,
told the United States Conference
OF Mayors he will meet tomorrow
with Secretary of Defense Mar
shall and Secretary of Labor
Tobin. President Truman has
given Mr.. Tobin responsibility for
top policy planning on manpower
problems.
Would Exempt Scientists.
Mr.. Symington said he feels
that "our scientists should be
given exemption" from military
service and that cities should be
protected from loss of police and
hremen in view of the threat of
atomic attack.
His comment about scientists
contrasted sharply with the views
OF Gen. Hershey. The selective
service chief said this week that
the argument that scientists and
professional men should be de-
ferred, because they are rare. sis
a lot of baloney." He also has
called for removal of restrictions
on induction of veterans under 26
years of age and asked for less
rigid physical and mental
standards.
Mr.. Symington took note of diff
ferences of opinion on the draft
problem by saying:
I have read recently that some
other people don't feel the same
way do about it. I don't see
anything to do but to sit down
with a great leader like Secretary
Marshall and try to solve the
problem"
100000 Rejected by Army.
Meanwhile, the surgeon gen.
erals office today announced the
Army rejected 100.413 of 207 .O38
men examined for the draft in
August,
This rejection rate of 48.5 per
cent compared with 52.2 per cent
IN July, when only 1921 reg
istrantS were given preinduction
tests.
The percentage of intelligence
test failures rose to 17.6 In Au-
gust from July mark of 1872.
But the rate of those failing to
pass the physical examination
droped to 20.1 per cent from 26.s
per cent in July.
In noting the overall improve
ment in acceptanceS, the Surgeon
Generals report held hope for
even better results as the Nations
draft boards begin tapping the
younger age groups.
Under the present draft law,
men from 10 to 26 are eligible.
Scientists Retort to Hershey.
Gen. Hershey's demand for a
stricter deferment policy toward
scientific and professional men
brought a quick and heated re-
action from members of these
groups.
