LONDON. Feb. 8. - Barbara
Goalen, Britain's No. cover girl
wants to stay off the covers.
Dark and sloe-eyed, her face is
as familiar to Britons as Winston
Churchills. That's just her trou-
BILE. In a country where the top
magazines and newspapers get
into every home, her face has a
scarcity value.
1t mustn't be too scarce, though,
or she'd be forgotten. Nor must
she be seen too often, or there'll
be a demand for some one new.
Barbara began modelling three
years ago just after her husband
was killed in an accident leaving
her with two small children,
Susan, 5. and Roger, 2l2. She
was q and had no experience but
she began at the top. She got a
job with one of London's big, 10
fashion houses.
Today, as a free lance, she
charges about three times more
than any other British model and
reckons to make about $4,000
S5,600) a year. This is big money
by British standards where the
average stenographer gets $500
(S840) a year.
Barbara longs to go to the
United States. She thinks Ameri-
can men have wonderful manners
and envies American women their
sheer nylons and costume jewelry.

that draft-liable college students
be allowed to enlist in the service
of their choice next summer, to
stop them from quitting school in
mid-term to enlist and beat the
draft.
2. Gen. Hershey ordered 30-day
deferments for February college
graduates, to give those with spe-
cial skills a chance to find Jobs in
industry.
Voluntary Enlistments.
Mrs. Rosenberg. stressing that
voluntary enlistments will not be
halted, has testified that plan IS
being worked out to distribute
more equitably the top-caliber en-
listees among all the armed forces,
probably by quotas for each serv-
ice. Gen. Hershey has proposed
that Selective Service be respon-
sible for acquiring new men for
all the services.
At the same time, President
Truman has ordered that men be-
tween ages of 1926 be allowed to
volunteer for induction through
draft boards. if they want to VOL
unteer before their draft turn
comes around. Selective Service
at present is taking men only for
the Army. but Pentagon officials
testified that the Air Force will
take some draftees during the
spring.
The Pentagon also has asked
that all voluntary enlistments due
to expire during the next two
years be extended for one year.

Of engine trouble which a Navy

caused by sabotage.
An investigation has been
launched by naval security officers

be thoroughly examined before it
can put to sea.

Barbara believes in simple

her tweeds for the country.
She doesn't like American

recently to a formal evening party

retary Anna M. Rosenberg has
indicated Pentagon approval Of
this practice.
Thus far, there has been no
concerted move to favor drafting

fathers might have to be called
unless 18-year-olds are.

Nevada Blast Results
Fail 10 Shake Plans
or Civil Defense
By Crosby S. Moves

Government atomic experts here,
appraiSing reports of damage
caused by the atomic explosions
in Nevada, indicate that there is
no reason to revamp present civil
defense plans.
Newspaper accounts of the ex-
plosion have told of damage in
Las Vegas. IS miles from the CEN
ter of the blast, leading to specu-
lation about new type of bomb,
far more powerful than any pre-
viously exploded. A further impli-
cation was that the Nations civil
defense planning, based on coping
with the destructive power of a
smaller nominal bomb, might
have been considerably outdated
by the present tests.
Those in the Know Won't Talk.
Government officials who know
what's going on out in Nevada are
not talking. Those who don't know,
being under less restraint, are
more willing to throw cold water
on the current speculations.
One expert, who was among the
group that studied the bomb dam
age at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
declared that effects such as those
observed in Las Vegas could have
been caused by q nominal size
bomb.
One of the characteristics of
atomic explosions, he asserted, is
freak damage areas. which may
occur well beyond the normal
range of destruction.
Serious Damage Radius.
This range, on which many as
poets Of civil defense planning is
based, contemplates an area of
almost complete destruction
within a range Of one-half mile
from the explosion center. Beyond
that, serious damage would be
caused within a radius Of two
miles, and relatively light damage,
such as broken plaster and win
dows, up to a normal radius Of
eight miles.
officials have also indicated
that the Nevada tests may pro-
vide some of the answers to the
problem OF designing shelters for
civil defense purposes. 1t is known
that the research job in this field
has been turned over to the Army
Corps of Engineers and that lin
tied tests have been in progress
for some time at Lehigh Univer-
sity.
1t is probable that studies Of
the blast effect of the Nevada ex-
plosions will turn up important
data for the project.

The first month of Capitol Hill
testimony on the draft probably
has gone long way toward get
ting more men into uniform. But
1t has done little to clear public
confusion at this point about fu-
ture draft prospects.
Under the rash of possibilities
which has broken out in the last
few weeks. in fact, it has seemed
at times that almost anybody
might be potential draft-bait.
After the Pentagon started the
ball rolling by demanding a uni
versal draft of 18-year-olds, for
example, the public heard that
some legislators want to draft
husbands-and that some draft
boards already are calling them
The public hears that others
want to draft some men over 2t
years of age, and that some vet
eranS are ripe for more service
1t hears that almost everybody
wants to draft some 4-Fs-150,00(
one day. $4,000 the next.
Educators Differ.
It hears Gen. Hershey call fol
an end to voluntary enlistments
1t hears military heads say mer
will be allowed to enlist-but that
some may not be able to enlist
where they want to.
Some educators want all 49,
year-olds to be called; others DOM
want any to go. Draft-liable stu
dents are told they can wait safely
until summer to enlist. Congress:
Is told about 100000 of them vii
be drafted this summer.

heads.
1t was strongly opposed by the
National Education Association,
but endorsed by such groups as
the American Council on Educa-
ton, Association of American Col
leges and the American Associa-
ton of Universities. It was sup
ported also in individual testi-
mony by such educators as DR..
Dodds. presidents of NIT and
Princeton.
In addition, it has the support
of major veterans and labor
groups and the Committee on the
Present Danger. But large num-
Der of pacifist and other groups
either oppose the provision or in
siSt that stringent measures be
enacted for welfare of the youths
/ in training.
Basis of arguments in support
of the provision is that 18 is the
age at which there is likely to be
the least disruption of the in
ductees' civilian lives.
Some Senators have proposed
that the minimum age level be
somewhere between 18 and 49,
This would satisfy insistence by
some of them that men not be
sent into combat before the age
of 10.
UNIVERSAL
SERVICE-TR
| Defense officials insist this long
range program is necessary for
future security. 1t is a primary
reason, they argue, for urging the
draft of 18-year- -olds, who later
. will fill out reserve units.
But members of the House
Armed Services Committee insist
the program must be accom-
panied by specific plans to i'm
prove the National Guard anG
reserve program. The Pentagon
promised such plans within six
months, but Chairman Vinsor
ordered them sent to Capitol Hill
in some form by March /.
i The National Guard and Re
serve Officers Associations, while
endorsing principles of ,the bill
also argued that in it's present
form it does nothing to aid theil
units. They also opposed Penta
gon proposals to draft or recall
individual members of reserve OF
guard units.
DRAFT SERVICE OF 27
MONTHS.
The Pentagon's argument il
that with training time, leaves
and travel, the present 81 months
allows too short a period of serv-
ice. In addition. they say, a o.
month period will save $50 million
a year. It has the endorsement o1
most of those supporting the 49,
year-old draft. Some Senators
however, argue that with a shorter
period more men can be routed
into reserve forces.
MEN WITH DEPENDENTS.
The Senate Preparedness Com
mittee has drawn up an amend
ment to the Pentagon bill, pro-
viding for the drafting of 100000
childless married men between Is

are deferred.
/ Members of the House COM
mittee also have indicated this
group should be drafted, and de-
fense officials give the group a

expansion.
