us into even more difficult situa-
tions later on.
/ think we have a right to in
sist that before such a drastic
step be taken the Army revamp
itself. Let it take inventory and
make proper job analysis, that
every conceivable job short Of
combat be filled by men who have
been grouped as AT, by men who
are partially disabled, by women
enlisted "to relieve men for COM
bat". We have a right also to in
sist that the Army make more eff
ficient use of the men it must re-
tain. When we know all this has
been done, then and only then
should we be asked to cut so
deeply into our future generation.
My own sons are far beyond
their teens, but I have not for
gotten those years, and l can as
sure you an understanding of the
anxieties your letters reflect. At
the moment I see no justification
for drafting lads of 18. There
might be a way of taking them at
1872, as has been suggested by
many, for training only, until
they become 10. Then, if the need
IS still upon us, combat training
at that point-but not at 18!
Legislatively the Army's pro-
posed 1S year draft is only in the
hearing stage. 1t will have to be
justified before the Armed Serv-
ices Cmmittees of both House and
Senate. The Committees will write
the Bills finally presented to the
Congress for consideration. Even
at this point changes will be pos
sible through amendment. At the
moment, although there is senti-
ment for an 18 year old draft, my
judgment is that very substan-
tial group, in the House at least,
feel as l do--that 18 is too young,
that We must not squander the
only real riches we, as a nation.
possess: our youth.

Santa Helm Loses
Christmas 1rappings
BY the Associofed Press

SAVAGE, Md, Nov. 24.-This
little Howard County town will
observe Christmas this year about
the same as the average Maryland
community. Santa Helms REIN
deer and all the other big Yule-
tide trappings are gone.
For several years this town.
just off U. S. Route l between
Baltimore and Washington. was
the closest thing in the country
to Santa's workshop.
Harry H. Helm, sr.. bought up
most of the town in 1947, when
the Savage Manufacturing Co.
shut down it's 200-year- -old cotton
mill after business declined in the
post-World War II period.
Mr.. Helm converted the mill to
the making of Christmas orna-
ments. He dressed up the town in
Christmas trappings. renamed it
Santa Helm (heim in German
means home), and developed it
into a sort of Yuletide carnival.
But the venture proved to be q
financial failure. Last sprlng the
mill was sold to the National Store
Fixture Co.. Inc, a plastics firm.
and an auction was held to dis
pose of the machinery used to
make the Christmas decorations.

Finger Broken by
W-Pound Turkey

A housewife who broke her
finger on Thanksgiving Day when
she dropped a 20-pound turkey
highlights the list of SO persons
injured last week in home acci-
dents.
The District Red Cross Accident
Prevention Service said in addi-
tion to the SO persons injured,
eight others died as result of
home injuries-five due to falls,
two to burns and one by the acci-
dental discharge of firearms.
Among the injuries were a num-
ber of children who ate bleach,
|antiSeptic and cathartics, safety
pins and buttons. One child stuck
ian ice pick in his hand, another
got his hand caught in a wash
ing machine. A 16-year- -old boy
fell from the roof of his house
and fractured his leg while help
ing his father put up a television

be discussed.
Interested In Business Area.
Equally important to Mr.. Remon
Is his desire for the planning COM
mission to take an active interest
in saving or redeveloping Wash
ington's central business area.
Mr.. Remon graduated in engi-
neering from Worcester Polytech-
mic Institute. He is a native of
Salem, Mass. Mr.. Remon had been
continuously associated with the
American Telephone Co. and SUBJ
sidiarieS for 40 years until his re-
tirement in 1850. His operations
management for the company in
Washington has made him fami-
liar with zoning regulations which
constitute a major problem for the
Planning Commission.
"Washington's traffic is terrific.
he said yesterday. "but not more
so than in many other great cities
like New York and Philadelphia.
He believes in the development
of arterial express ways and radial
routes for shutting traffic out ot
downtown areas.
Favors Cooperation.
He also favors close co-opera-
ton with the Maryland and Vir.
ginia planning agencies. since
their problems are so closely con.
nected with Washington's.
Mr.. Remon said he intends tt
continue as a member of the Re.

Five Children Die in Fire
In Tiny Trailer Home
By the Associated Press

MARTINSBURG. w. Va, Nov
24.-Five children died in the
flames of their tiny trailer home
today just outside the eastern
limits of this Berkeley County city
Police said they were the chill
dren of Mrs. Helen Price, SO. They
said the trailer which housed the
family of six measured only 6 by
u feet.
The dead were identified as
Donald Eugene, 9; Robert Lee, 6:
Josephine S, and twins Edward
Vernon and Charles Ted, 2.
Officer Kenneth Cushwa, who
removed one of the bodies from
the smoldering ruins. said there
were a number of burned matches
under the child's body.
Police said Mrs. Price was not
at home when the fire broke out
about 5 pm. The door to the
trailer was not locked, they re-
ported. They theorized the flames
must have broken out too sud-
denly for any Of the youngsters to
escape.

Area Brick|ayers Ask Sa|vagers GET Set
30 Cents an Hour Pay1o Dive for Metal
Boost 10 S26.40a a Day From Sunken Ships

Bricklayers in the Washington
area are asking a 30-cent-an-hour
wage boost which would raise their
scale to $26.40 a day. They now
receive SO an hour or $24 a day.
The request comes more than
five months before the AF'L unions
contract expires with two contrac-
tors associations.
Although their two-year con-
tract is not up until May /. the
bricklayers' proposal is being given
careful consideration by the con-
tractors.
One informant said it was pos
sible the contractors would accede
to the request in the field of
Government and commercial
building, where the increase ap-
piled to work not now contracted
for.
Meeting Set for Tomorrow.
They probably will object to
giving the increase to bricklayers
in the private housing field, where
competition is keen. and where
there already is much non union
construction.
A meeting is scheduled tomor-
row between union officials and
representatives of the Mason
Contractors Association of the
District of Columbia and the EN-
lploying Bricklayers Association.
| The bricklayers, always IN short
supply hereabouts despite the
1000 active members. asked for
the raise because other crafts
have received the full 10 per cent
increase allowable under Wage
Sterilization Board policy, where
as bricklayers have had no ad-
vance since 1850.
| So Rate Is Criticized.
Friday a complaint was issued
against Washington contractor,
J. D. Hedin. by the WSB for pay
! ing So an hour to bricklayers
working on veterans hospital at
Ann Arbor. Mich. The WSB said
the proper rate for these work
men in that area was $2.75 an
hour.
There have been no similar COM
plants filed against construction
jobs in this area, an enforcement
official said.
Recently plasterers. stone
masons and marble. settlers were
raised to $3.50 an hour, the wage
| desired by the bricklayers.

BY the Assoeioied Press

NORFOLK, Va. Nov. "a. -
Scheduled to rob Davey Jones'
locker of the scrap steel from eight
broken ships on Bermuda reefs.
the 100-ton floating derrick owned
by Capt. Tilton Conklin was to
start its Today journey to Ber-
muda today.
The 00-horsepower tug John
McAllister of McAllister Bro, Inc.
was brought here to take the big
derrick in tow and deliver her to
the scene of salvage operations.
Eight Vessels Sunk.
The eight ships have sunk in
the Bermuda area over a period
of some 80 years. Universal Marine
Salvage Co. of Chicago will con-
duct the salvage operation and the
scrap metal will be towed on
barges to Sparrows Point. Md.
where it will be unloaded and
taken to a steel mill to be used in
production.
J. c. Mcfarland of the salvage
firm said Germans used to do
some of this type salvaging before
the First World War, but the
Bermuda reefs have not been the
scene of a metal salvage operation
for a number of years. The scar
city and high price of scrap metal
is expected to make the venture
profitable.
The washing action of the sea
has broken many of the sunken
ships open and it is not believed
it will be necessary to do much
underwater cutting. Divers will
go down to make the line to the
derrick fast then the derrick will
haul the metal to its deck and
load it into barges.
It was not known how long the
operation will take because the
work may be slowed up from time
to time by ocean storms.
