Women Are Included
In Army's New Call
For 1860 Officers
By John A. Giles

The Army is ordering to active
duty 1850 reserve lieutenants
and captains, including women,
by June 20.
The announcement, made last
night, follows earlier disclosure of
the reactivation of the 5th Infan-
try CTraining) Division at Indian
town Gap, Pa. and a step-up in
training activities in which many
of the reservists presumably will
be employed. The program will
bring to 10000 the number of
Guard and reserve officers IN the
two ranks called since the start
of the Korean war last June.
The Army said the order would
affect 3,444 captains and 9,206
second and first lieutenants. Some
$50 Women's Army Corps officers
are among them. They will re-
port for active duty between May
% and June 20.
National Guard and inactive
reservistS will not be called, but
may volunteer. Those reporting
will serve 81 consecutive months
unless the law is changed to ex-
tend service periods.
The number of officers recalled
involuntarily, the Army said, will
depend on the number who vol
unteer.
Officers with four or more de-
pendents may request exemption
and WACs with dependents under
1S years old will not be accepted.
The breakdawn by Army areas
included the following from the
I'd Army, which includes the Dis
trict, Maryland and Virginia with
headquarters at Fort Meade, Md:
713 male captains, 2,174 male
lieutenants and "a WAC officers
of both ranks.

Ceiling On Pay
Due For A Lift

WASHINGTON. Feb. Is tAP)-
Inc month old ceiling on pay
raises may be pried upward d
attle today or tomorrow for the
great majority of wage earners.
Eric Johnson, head of the econ
osnlc Sterilization Agency, was re
ported about ready to sign the
pending 10 per cent 'catch-up"
formula, and informed officials
predicted that in doing SO he would
order this further relaxation:
Wage boosts provided in "escal-
ator causes would be honored up
10 June 30, provided they were
written into contracts signed be-
lore the wage-price freeze of a
month ago.
However, aides of Johnston
cautioned against reports there
would be any extensive" altera-
tlVe of the formula sent to him
ten days ago by a 6-3 vote of the
wage stabilization board headed
by Cyrus S. Ching.
That formula would permit an
increase of up to 10 per cent since
january IS, 1850. It would remain
IN force until midyear, when q
review is scheduled, with revision
if that is found necessary.

gram Tuesday night, February
9th, the award of Look magazine
as Snowman of the Year" was
presented to Phil Chakeres.
The true story Of Phil Chalk
eres' life sounds more like fic-
ton than fact. When he was fif-
teen years of age he came to
America from Greece. Here he
had few friends, no money, and
could not speak English. He act
ually learned to understand and
speak his first English words at
a shoe shining stand, where he
worked as a boot black. There
were many hard and hungry years
in store for this man, but he had
an ambition to do we'll whatever
he did but beyond that to always
be a good citizen, kind and charit-
able to his fellow man.
Phil Chaleres acquired his
first theatre in the year 1908
This was the Princess Theatre in
Springfield, Ohio. IIc ran the ma
chimes, cleaned the theatre, etc,
and his wife, Helen, was cashier,
selling tickets at Sc each. He
soon found out that running a
theatre was not all it was crack
ed up to bc-that it took d lot of
Imagination and hard work to put
across the ideas he had for bring
ING the people to his theatre.
