West Germany Will
Draft 100000 Men
BY the Associated Press

BONN. Germany. Jan. 1e.-De-
Tense Planner Theodor Blank
announced today West Germany
would find its soldiers for West
ern defense by drafting 100000
to 100000 men.
The head of the governments
shadow defense ministry" in a
radio address to the German peo-
pie said all young men between
the ages of 10 and 81 would be
liable for service. He said that
the first recruits would be volun-
teers.
This was the first time the usu-
ally secretive defense planner has
revealed the actual number of
men West Germany will raise.
He told his audience details of
the plan for providing II divi-
sions and tactical air force for
the proposed European army to be
set up by France. Italy, Belgium,
Holland. Luxembourg and West
Germany.
The foreign ministers of theee
nations are due to meet in Paris
next Saturday to resume their
negotiations on the European
army plan.
Fought Against Allies.
Blank. As. who fought against
the Allies from start to finish of
World War II, heads what is off,
cially called "the Service Office of
the Federal Chancellor" It is ex-
pected to become Germany's de-
tense ministry.
Blank said the German nation
had a choice of inviting aggression
on the Korean pattern by showing
weakness or by joining the West
ern nations in their plan of COM
bined strength to insure peace.
He admitted that the nation
still was divided on whether this
was the right course but said in
his own opinion there was no
other course.
"It is no fun for any of us, hav-
ing to set up an army again."
Blank declared. "But there is no
other choice If we are to have
peace in Europe. The defense COM
rnunity is not an instrument of
war but an instrument of peace.
It will save for us peace and free
DOM"
FOreseeS Many Delays.
His announcement. he said, did
not mean that mothers were to
rush to their sons and say "go
and pack your things" There will
be many delays before a new Ger
man army gets under way. Blank
stated.
The defense planner pledged
that the old German militarism
would be rooted out of the new
model German divisions. Earlier
reports said the government had
decided to form a peoples army"
largely based on the American Sc
lective service plan. This form of
conscription was decided on. it
was said, to keep out undesirables
and to win maximum public sup
port for rearmament.
zone Of our. biggest problems
is our past" declared Blank in a
reference to Nazi era. He called
on all Germans to help build a
new relationship between the state
and It's citizen soldiers.

Legion Warns Of Buying
Red Made Tree BaubIes

Russia hasn't claimed inven-
tion Of Christmas, but it's trying
to pick up more than a couple of
bucks out of the American observ-
ance Of the holiday season.
American Legion posts and
auxiliaries today began alerting
Washington shoppers that the
ornaments they put on their
Christmas trees may be putting
money into Russia's war pocket.
About half the tree ornaments
sold here this year come from
behind the Iron Curtain, accord
ing to estimates from the people
who make such baubles here.
Last year more than So million
worth Of ornaments imported
from Iron Curtain countries were
sold here.
"The American Legion cannot
understand why trade with Com
munist puppet countries is allowed
or condoned," a Legion state
ment said. "The Legion is going
to take all possible means to
alert the public in holiday buy
ling"
The imports come from Czecho-
slovakia, Poland and East Ger
many. An absence of labelling on
the ornaments makes it difficult
for the shopper to tell where they
came from. the Legion pointed
out.
All American-made ornaments
are labeled MADE in the q. S. A."
The marking of the imported
ornaments Is on the box-in fine

Two men. inspired by the recent

Loudspeaker Voice Ban

The Salvation Army today got
the District Commissioners to
waive a new regulation forbidding
voice announcements over am

The army won this concession
so that its representatives in some
10 collection booths can encour-
age pedestrians to drop money
into the metal kettles for Christ
mas gifts.
Brig. William L. Range, division
commander Of the army, and C.
Oscar Berry, chairman of the ad-
visory board, pointed out that
this years kettle collections have
been only half as large as the
$4,000 collected in the same pc
riod last year. They attributed
the drop to the fact that voice
announcements could not be am
Iplified.
The army collected a total of
$4,000 between Thanksgiving and

a contract to Frank Mattingly of

Mattingly helped quarterback

know he hasn't had much foot
ball experience. But he may be

Mattingly played in the outfield
for Georgetown's baseball team
this year when sore arm would
not permit him to pitch. He and
Bugs Thompson, another Hoya
gridman, discussed the possibility
of pro football careers with Ball
last winter.
The Redskins scout thought
Thompson was too small and he
couldn't get down to business with
Mattingly until the latter was
through with college sports. Mat
tingly would be signed as a free
