Morse Asks Written Choice.
Senator Morse. Republican of
Oregon, asked Gen. Bradley. to
submit written opinion on
whether. If a choice had to be
made, the Pentagon would rather
draft 19-year-olds for 81 months
or 18-year-olds for 81 or ~
months. ...
In line with his opinion that
some men with physical handicaps
should be drafted. Gen. Bradley
said he thought the same principle
could be applied to many of the
men now rejected for failing
mental tests. They could be used
particularly as labor forces, for
example, in rear areas, he said.
Scheduled to testify later today

Pearson Didn't Harm
|Howser' S Reputation,
Defense Counsel Says

Fred N. Howser,s reputation
was injured mot at ALL by a 1915
radio broadcast of Drew Pearson
the columnist's lawyer told a Dis
trict Court jury today.
"You can't harm a house that's
burned down." said Attorney Will
liam P. Rogers In his defense sum-
nation of Mr.. Howser,s $3.50, ,00o
libel suit against Mr.. Pearson.
Mr.. 'Howser is a former Attorney
General Of California, who left Of
flee earlier this month after serv-
ing a four-year term which evoked
considerable criticism on the
West Coast, according to trial

Mr.. Howser accepted $1,000
bribe from a California bookmak-
er in the 1946 campaign for Office.
Judge Alexander Holtzof is ex-
pected to turn the case over to
the jury Of three men and nine
women early this afternoon.
There's no doubt about 1t, Mr..
Pearson didn't harm Mr.. Howser
at ALL" the lawyer argued. "At
no time did Mr.. Pearson bear him
any malice. hatred or Ill will. Mr..
Pearson was acting conscientiously
and in the public interest when
he reported what he thought was
true about Mr.. Howser."
Mr.. Rogers closed by describing
his client as a great force for
public good"

A department spokesman said
10-man committee headed by
Undersecretary Clarence j. Nc
Cormick. has been working on
the program for some time.
Mr.. Mccormick. the spokes-
man said. is expected to discuss
some phases of the reorganization
plan with Secretary of Agricul-
ture Brannan this week. Mr..
Brannan returned today from
meeting in the Virgin Islands.
May End Overlapping.
The principal change under
study by the committee is a
merger Of the soil conservation
operations of the Production and
Marketing Administration with
that of the Soil Conservation
Service.
If effected, the plan, it is hoped,
would eliminate some of the OBJ
jections raised by the Govern
ment reorganization group headed
by former President Hoover.
Among these are overlapping of
soil conservation operations and
resultant high expenses.
The Mccormick committee was
reported placing new emphasis in
its studies on revamping OF
agencies in the light of defense
mobilization.

ever, do not anticipate setting up

TeIevision Set Makers
Shift Method 10 Save
Copper and Cobalt
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The
Nations television set manufac-
turers may be able to continue
civilian production by using new
techniuues effecting drastic saw
ings Of critical materials, includ-
ing copper and cobalt.
Max Balconl. chairman of the
tube division Of the Radio -Tele-
vision Manufacturers Association
and board chairman of Sylvanla
Electric Products Corp, says that
a change in the method of focus
ing the picture on the viewing
screen has greatly improved pros
poets for continued supply of
sets.
Present sets have picture tubes
using ELECTROMAGNETIC focusing" ="
This requires either a magnet
containing cobalt or a copper coil.
Both metals are vital for defense
weapons.
Different Method Used.
New tubes now ready for pro-
duction, using so-called electro
static focusing" do not require
these metals.
+. The Sylvania company and
Radio Corp. of America already
are geared to produce the new
tubes. while another firm, the
National Union Radio Corp, says
1t is ready to start deliveries.
Tests Of the new tubes show
them to be of equal in quality to
the old ones, the manufacturers
say.
Mr.. Balcom says almost all the
81 manufacturers of the old cath
ode ray picture tubes are making
plans for producing the new type.
Cut No Less Than 25%.
He refused to estimate 1851 set
production in the light of the
new technique. but predicted it
would not fall below Is per cent
of the 1850 level of 7 million sets.
Manufacturers. however, caution
that the new tube does not take
care of replacements in present
sets. as circuit changes are re-
|quired in the set itself.
Mr.. Balcom concluded that the
television industry is ready to go
into defense production, but added
that the expanded industry would
have capacity to spare for civilian
production.
