COMMUNIST CHINA TO TAKE PART IN TALKS
 CONCERNING F0RM05A

NEW YORK, Sept. 29-R-A ma jority of the United Nations Security Council decided today that Ma tionalist China could not veto an invitation to the Chinese Con- munists to come here for consul tations.
 Nationalist China's chief Dele gate, T. F. Tsiang, immediately challenged the legality of the de- cision and asked that it be referred to the International Court of Jus tice for an advisory opinion.
 The parliamentary tangle started when the council voted this morn- ing to invite the Peiping regime to send a representative here after Nov. IS to present it's claims of American aggression against For mosa.
 The vote on this specific point was to 4. Tsiang, however, held that he had vetoed it. The Council then voted g to l, with one absten- tion, that the question was pro- cedural and, therefore, not subject to the veto.
 The resolution on whidh the Council voted was introduced by Ecuador. Yugoslavia withdrew a similar resolution of her own when the Council convened.

HERSHEY RECOMMENDS LOWER 5TANDARD5AND
 OTHER DRAFT CHANGES

WASHINGTON Sept 29 -tR - Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selec- tive Service Director, recommended today that the draft should be extended from 21 months to 30 months.
 He advanced the proposal as means of maintaining an army of 1,500,000.
 Hershey made this and three other major recommendation to House Armed Service Committee which is studying possible revision in the draft.
 The other suggested chandeS:
 To modify deferment for depen- dency. He would have deferment for collateral dependents wiped out
 He did not specify in detail but by collateral dependents. Hershey apparently was speaking of rela- tives of some distance from the draft registrant's immediate family, or persons who were only partially dependent on him.
 To remove restrictions on induc- tion of veterans under 26 years of age.
 To watch carefully that the "ac- ceptability" standards does not get out of hand
 In explanation of the third sug- gestion Hershey said he believed i've are going to have to get new approach to capacity to serve.'
 Although he did not specify, this apparently would mean less strict qualifications.
 Hershey made no recommenda- tions for changing the present draft age of 19 through 25.
 In fact, he said he believed that the Army could be raised and maintained by depending on this age group if the other suggestions are adopted.
 Chairman Vinson -CD-Ga) is di- recting the work of the House committee to find what is needed, as he said, to attain the size of the army contemplated" Vinson himself did not give any exact fig ure on the size.

1 General Eisenhower May Get Supreme
 Europe Command Job

WASHINGTON, Sept 29- R - Speculation increased today that President Truman may appoint Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to com- mand the projected international army to defend western Europe.
 This talk is based in part on what MT. Truman said about Eisen- hover at his news conference yes terday and in part on the fact that Washington officials believe a man of outstanding reputation and prov ed ability should get the supreme command post.
 The mere naming of such a man, high officials say, would help to create in non- Communist Europe a new sense of confidence and pro- gress toward real security.
 MT. Truman was asked at the news conference whether he was considering General Eisenhower for some new job, probably in Europe. He replied that Eisenhower is al- ways available at the Presidents call but that he has not considered him because there is no appoint ment to make yet.
 The foreign ministers Of the l2 North Atlantic Treaty nations de- cided in New York earlier this week that Allied forces for the defense of Europe should be merg- ed into a single army under a general staff composed of officers of all the cooperating nations and headed eventually by supreme commander.

 By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Under the ne" anti Communist law, any newspaper man can be put in jail for pub fishing secret documents. Neverthe- less, I am going to publish a con- fidential State Department instruc- tion which happens to be one of the most important issued in five years.
 The secret memo is an lnstruc- tion to American delegates at the current LIN General Assembly, and it states
 "The aim of this critical session is to lift GA (abreviation fol General Assembly, out of the de- batting society class and make it an effective action agency when col lective defense through sc (abrevi- ation for Security CounciD is frus- trated. to organize GA effective ly to deter further aggression"
 In those 38 words is summed up the most important reversal of American policy in years. In those 38 words is also spelled the hop es for future peace in the world.
 It is a reversal because at San Francisco where the United Ma tions was founded in l945, Amerl- can delegates insisted that the new organization be dominated by the Big Three powers on the Secruity Council. At that time we were Just as strong for the veto as the Rus sians. So were the British ana French. The veto was our joint ana mutual baby.
