Gen. Hershey Blocked
Army's RAID Efforts,
National Guard Told
By William J. WheotIey

An Army effort to raid the ranks
of the National Guard through
the draft was blocked by the
selective service director, Maj.
Gen. Leo M. Kreber, adjutant gen.
eral of the Ohio Guard and COM
mander of the 37th Infantry Di-
vision, said today.
Gen. Kreber told the annual
conference of the National Guard
Association of the United States
at the Mayfower Hotel, that
Selective Service Director Lewis
B, Hershey took the position that
the National Guard was just as
much in reserve as though it had
actually been ordered into active
military service of the United
States and that it should be built
up rather than torn down." He
added:
Difficult to Understand.
"Just why such a policy would
have been advocated is rather diff
cult to understand. 1t seems, at
times. as though there were some
who were bound and determined
to advocate laws or policies and
impose restrictions which would
make it impossible for the Ma
tional Guard to exist
Gen. Kreber said the Army
wanted draft boards to reach into
the ranks of the Guard and re-
move for induction men who en-
listed between June "a, 1948, and
last June "a.
Gen. Kreber said a plan has
been proposed by the National
Guard Bureau for the organiza-
ton of home guard units to re-
place the currently organized
forces when they are called into
Federal service.
Equipment Authorized.
Recent legislation authorized
the Army Department to furnish
arms, ammunltlOn, clothing and
equipment for such units. The
plan already submitted to the
States and the District of Colum-
bia provides for a troop basis plan
and table of organization and
equipment.
Maj. Gen. Raymond H. Flem-
ing, chief of the National Guard
Bureau, told the conference yes
terday that he felt very strongly
that the National Guard may
well be the difference between vic
tory and defeat"
Air Force Secretary Thomas K.
Finletter and Gen. Hershey ad-
dressed the Guardsmen behind
closed doors today. Defense Sec
retary Marshall was tentatively
scheduled to speak this afternoon.

More than 80 years ago Sergt.
Cicchese went through boot camp
at Paris Island, S. c.. and was
accepted as cornetist in the post
band. When the Paris Island
Band made a tour of the Middle
West on a recruiting drive, it
stopped over in Washington briefly
on the way back. That's when
Sergt. Cicchese heard the Marine
Band for the first time.
Since then he has played before
five Presidents, many Gridiron
dinners and for other events. But
his greatest thrill was playing his
first cornet solo on the steps of
the Capitol for the King and
Queen of England.
What will he do now?
"I'll travel" he says. "Its fun
planning a trip abroad. but I re-
gret I can't take my bass drum
along. One doesn't need dieting,
weight-lifting or any other exer-
else to keep in shape-just a
parade or two each week and a

PUG Hears Complaints
OF Bus Stop on | St.

New complaints about Capital
Transit buses stopping in the
l400 block of I street NV. were
heard by the Public Utilities Com
mission yesterday.
/ On May 8. District Court Judge
Edward M. Curran said he would
grant a temporary restraining
order to stop the buses from block
ing "a parking lot entrance and
exit.
The PUG then moved the bus
stop about $50 feet west. Com
plants developed then from other
businesses in the block.
The complainants. who included
representatives of two cafeterias
and a florist, contended the new
location is interfering with their
businesses in connection with
truck deliveries of perishable
goods.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Lloyd B. Harrison, one Of those
at the conference yesterday. said
no action was taken. He said the
meeting was for the purpose of
hearing the complaints.
Mr.. Harrison said an alter
native suggestion made by the
Capital Transit Co. was that the
bus stop be moved so feet farther
west. This, he pointed out, would
require removal of Commute
praking meters in the area and
necessitate the abandoning of the
stop on Fifteenth street.
Action had been brought in Dis
trict Court by Charles B. McDon-
aid. operator of the parking lot.

tinued and definite trend toward

while Washington boys and

like their elders, called for science
fiction, too," said the report.
Mr.. Peterson asserted there has
been a leveling off in the circula-
ton of technical books for home
use. Accordingly, books on auto
mobile repairing, machine opera
ton, radio and television are less
popular, but merchandise ratings,
house planning, gardening and all
phases of homemaking continue
to be popular"

making a survey of vending ma
chimes located in District build

ceiveS no payment.
The Commissioners are trying to
learn who authorized the placing
of the machines in the buildings.
They also want to know whether
the machines are blocking any
entrances or creating fire haz-
ard. The Health Department will
be asked whether the articles dis
pensed by the machines are
Ihealthful and if sanitary condi-
tions are maintained in their
vicinity.
Frank M. Hally, acting auditor,
will determine whether any fees
are being paid to any one for the
machines.
A recent survey by the General
Accounting Office of machines To-
Gated at st. Elizabeths Hospital
revealed 1t cost the Government
about "a cents a month for each
machine.

Increased use Of the Public
Library facilities was noted. Mr.
Peterson said: "The most drama
tic increase in book circulation
was in the adult non-fiction cate
CORY at the Central Library. This
increase, amounting to 1882 over
the year before, exceeded the COM
bined increase in adult non-fictior
circulation in all the branches
1856. The circulation of adult
fiction declined 4,583 at Central
and 8,480 in the branches"
Reorganization and rearrange-
ment of facilities on a completely
open-shelf departmentaliZed basis
was seen as contributing to the
increase.
Mr.. Peterson said Sc per cent
Of the adult books circulated dur
ing the fiscal year were non-fic-
ton. In the forefront were books
on Russia and the whole field of
international relations.
