Strikes by public school teach

are warned they are duty bound to

day by the National Education AsL
sOciation.
The association cites pronounce
ments Of the executive Committee
Of the Teachers Union, AFL. a. M

The report was prepared By the

Between july 8tll, Next

Enlistments Of serYicemen due
for discharge between July 8 and
next July 1-some 100000 to 400,-
600 men-haVe been extended for
one year.
The order. announced by Presi-
dent Truman last Friday night,
does not apply to draftees, who
must serve for "a months, but
technically includes enlisted re-
serves.
However, enlisted reservists who
served at least a year during
World War II arc eligible for in
active duty after putting in II
months following outbreak Of the
Korean War.
Reserve officers are unaffected
by the order.
Mr.. Truman issued the order
under authority Of the new draft
law which became effective less
than three weeks ago.
Defense Department officials
gave no specific reason for the or
der except to point out that the
law authorizes such action to
maintain the level Of the armed
forces" Recent draft calls have
been slashed drastically.
The Presidents announcement
caught the PentagOn by surprise.
One spokesman gave an educated
estimate" that 100000 to 100000
enlisted men would be affecred.
More than 100000 men now are
in uniform. The armed forces goal
is 3s500,000 men.
Trained Men Needed
Unofficial sources believed that
the order best could be explained
by the need for trained men dur
ing the present emergency. 1t is
likely that hundreds Of thousands
of men WIN be Ia the Far East in-
definitely even if Korean armis-
tice IS reached, and more experi-
enced men are needed both ii Eu-
