Eiehe|berger Opposes
Bombing Manchuria
BY the Associated Press


WICHITA, Kans., April 10.-A
former Army commander under
Gen. Macarthur said last night
that bombing across the Yalu
River in Manchuria could precipi-
tate an all-out shooting war.
1t. Gen. Robert L. Eichelbergey
said sending Chinese Nationalist
forces into action in China could
bring the same result.
Gen. Eichelberger formerly
commanded the 9th Army in the
Pacific and recently was head of
occupation forces in Japan.
II believe Stain committed
himself to protect China from at
tack when he succeeded in getting
the Chinese Reds into action in
Korea" Gen. Eichelberger said.
The general added he believes
use of Nationalist forces in China
or bombing across the Yalu River
would be interpreted as a direct
threat to the Communist regime
in China and therefore would be
likely to bring Russia into the
war.
America is not prepared to fight
la war with Communist Russia
Gen. Eichelberger said, and ev-
Ierything possible should be done
to avoid all-out conflict at this
time.

Marshall Sfandardizes
Physical and Mental
Tests for All Services
By John A. Giles

Defense Secretary Marshall to-
day announced Inauguration of a
military manpower distribution
plan to make certain that all
services get an equitable share of
the mentally and physically
superior recruits and inductees.
The plan, effective May /. pro-
vides that each service is to re-
ceive men in accordance with the
normal distribution of mental
groups within the national male
population.
Minimum physical standards for
acceptance will be identical for all
the services. Men will be assigned
according to physical capabilities
in normal course, without any
special ALLEGATION procedure.
The services have had different
physical standards.
Army Mental Test Accepted.
Judgment of a mans relative
mental standing will be based on
the score he makes on the armed
forces qualification test, and the
minimum standard for acceptance
for all services will be that now
used by the Army-70 points.
The Navy and Air Force have
been requiring 10 points more.
"Out of every 100 men who take
the test and qualify for military
service. 8 normally fall into group
l, the highest group: 80 in group
2, SO in group 3 and 81 in group
A. an announcement stated.
Each service will take in men
in accordance with these propor-
tions SO there will be balanced dis
tribution of mental groups among
the Army. Navy. Air Force and
Marine Corps.
Recruitment Will Continue.
'The services will continue VOL
unteer recruitment Of men. but
the total number taken in,
whether through voluntary enlist
ment or induction. will conform to
the percentage listed above.
Should any service fail in any
two-month period to obtain by
voluntary enlistment the specified
quotas for the period. shortages
would be filled in a subsequent
month from among SelectiveI
Service registrants."
The Army is the only service
currently using the draft. The
other services are depending solely
on volunteers.
Gen. Marshall. in announcing
the program. called it "a further
step in the progress Of the unfit
cation of the armed forces.
Under the conditions of mod
ern war, men of outstanding
qualifications are required in all
branches Of military service" he
said.
ITO concentrate the qualities of
leadership or technical pre-emi-
nence in one or more of the
branches of service is detrimental
to our total strength in terms of
efficiency"
The Secretary said the plan
should not only serve to adjust
present imbalances among the
military departments" but should
lead also toward more effective
utilization of manpower through
out the military establishment.
THE plan preserves the right of
voluntary enlistment" he said.
"At the same time it insures that
we will be strong enough on the
ground, in the air and at sea, with
no branch holding a monopoly on
all the talent"
Armed forces examining stations
to administer the program will
begin functioning July /.

Sir Oliver Expresses
British View Privately
On Macarthur Case
BY the Assoeiated Press

LONDON, April 10.-A Foreign
Office spokesman said today that
Britain has expressed her concerl:
over the Macarthur situation to
the United States through the
normal conversations" Of Ambas-
sador Sir Oliver Franks in Wash
lington.
The spokesman repeated at a
news conference. however, his
statement of yesterday that Brit
aims action did not constitute
formal protest" over the U. n.
commanders recent statements
about the Korean war.
Gen. MacArthur's assertions
that European diplomats are fight
ing with words" only and that
Chinese Nationalist troops ought
to be used to open second front
in the Far East greatly disturbed
British officials.
The British government appar-
emily is trying to keep out of the
American political controversy re-
volving about Gen. Macarthur
while saying what 1t wants to the
State Department privately and
Informally.
Morrison to Be Questioned.
But two British officials have
taken potshots at Gen. Macarthur
in recent speeches.
Without naming Gen. MacAr-
thur. Kenneth Younger, Minister
of State for Foreign Affairs, said
the Chinese Reds should not "be
misled by such irresponsible
statements as seem to come out
at frequent intervals from highly
placed quarters without authority
of the United Nations Or indeed
any member government"
In another speech Home Secre-'
tary Chuter EIDE declared more
sharply that I'VE cannot control
Macarthur because we do not pay
him"
Foreign Secretary Herbert
Morrison is scheduled to answer
some questions in the House of
Commons tomorrow bearing di-
rectly on the controversy.
Independent MP Seeks Answer.
Raymond Blackburn, an indie
pendent, was the latest to add to
the growing list of questions. He
gave notice he would ask Mr.
Morrison whether Mr. Edes re-
marks "on the question of control
of Gen. Macarthur represent the
policy of His Majesty's Govern
ment."
A rush of questions in the House
OF Commons yesterday reflected
Britain's growing concern over
aims Of the United Nations in
Korea and Gen. MacArthur's re-
cent pronouncements.
One of eight written questions
which the Government may
answer tomorrow-was by Labor
ite D. l.. Donnelly who asked If
Britain would undertake talks
with the United States and U. N.
members to secure more effective
control of the supreme COM
mander of the U. N. forces in
Tokyo"
Much of the press in Britain,
and Western Europe, too, raised
demands that action be taken in
the United Nations to give Gen.
Macarthur a clear policy direc-
tive.
A proposed declaration of u. N.
aims in Korea Is now under study
at Washington among the IA ma
tions with forces in Korea, 1t was
said.

Greatest Love Story Is Now Al 2Ofh Century

The greatest love story in the world from the greatest book of all time - the Bible = has been glow ingly translated to the screen by Daryl F. Zanuck in David and Bathseba," which is now at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Compellingly produced in Tech nicolor splendor. David and Bath sheba" presents two of the screens finest players = Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward -- in the epic roles of their long and distinguished act ing careers.
 zanuck must have been faced with two paths when planning the picture. The first, and obvious one, was to catch only the surface ten sions of this warm and violent story of illicit love between two of the Bibles most colorful personalities The other was to bring to life the conflict and vibrancy of the com plex characters whose torrid liaison brought them to the brink of degradation.
 With a sure hand Zanuck sent his director, Henry King, down the road of most resistance, and achieved a rare moment in film making, at once mature, romantic, spectacular. yet profound in the delineation of passionate natures struggling against the burden of convention.

Senate Group Finds low Morale At Marine Bases

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-R-A Senate Armed Services subcommit- tee reported today it had found dissatisfaction and low morale Marines particularly re- gently recalled reservists-at three bases.
 "This was discouraging in view of the long history of high mor-
 ale and espirit de corps of the
 Marines,' the group said. There
 was no immediate comment from
 the Marine Corps.
 The tf're5 bases are Fl 1ffUr0 and Camp Pendleton in California and Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
 The subcommittee criticized the Navy and Marine Corps for what it called lavish use of men and money, in a report which also cov- cred conditions at the Marine Corps air station, Quantico, Va, the Navy's base at Little Greek near Norfolk, Va, and the Navy's submarine base, New London, Conn.
 The preparedness subcommittee, headed by Senator Lyndon John son (D-Tex) was set up shortly af- ter fighting broke out in Korea to keep an eye on the mobilization program. This was it's 31st report; others have dealt with a wide var iety of mobilization problems.
 In general, the latest report prais- ed the food, clothing supplies, in struction, medical care, housing and recreation facilities at the six training centers. tf
 But in addition to reporting
 low morale at the three Marine
 bases, the subcommittee was crit
 ical of what it called a Tack of
 cost consciousness" among officers
 at the six centers.
 This factor involves waste - waste in manpower and waste in at this critical juncture the nation can afford neither" the subcommittee said.

Since You Went Away Last Times, Capii0I Theatre

Since You Went Away closes at the Capitol Theatre tonight and those who have not seen this fea- ture should do so.
 The strongest element of the of fering is in the excellence of the performances of all the players and stars of a cast bejewelled with cap able personalities. They have been utilized with a great skill. It all has been so contrived, or has so happened, that each player is re- quired mostly to play himself. It is type casting of a high order.
 With this picture Selznick emerges among the credits as author of the screen-play, which took it's origin from a little volume of letters, carrying the title Since You Went Away" taken mainly from column in the Dayton Journal Herald writ ten by Margaret Buell. Wilder.
