Korean Rotation to Be Completed This Year;
New Conscripts Sure of l6 Months Overseas
By WiIIiom Phelps

human calculating. To see that the
job goes well Assistant Defense Sec
retary John A. Hannah is going to
Korea in about two weeks.
The Army's system of sending
home a man who has accumulated
36 points, based on length and place
of service, will remain in use, but
it has to be modified in emptying
out of Korea those troops to be re-
turned in the next five months.
For the 19-year-old awaiting the
call to service, the picture is just
about as definite.
At present, the Army is drafting
$4,000 men each month to maintain
a total military strength of about
3.5 million men. The rate of induc-
ton is set by the rate of discharge.
This fall, the Pentagon will take
another look at military require
mentS. Officials expect to be able
to cut the draft call to 10000 men
a month. In July. 1854, they expect
to raise the monthly figure to around
$4,000, assuming there is no drastic
change in the international situa-
ton.
This rate, according to Secretary
Hannah, will require selective serv-
ice boards to draft 100 per cent Of
the 19-year-oldS.
Virtually all of these men will
go overseas. The Pentagon SAYS
they have $3.50 chance of going
in either direction since the number
OF men supplied to the Far East
Command will about match those
assigned to duty with the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization ar
mics.
Assignment to the Far East doesn't
necessarily mean Korea. There will
be an intra-theater rotation Of men
between Korea and Japan, as in the
past
The Two-Yeor Hitch
The plan for new inductees serv.
ing a two-year hitch includes q
month for reception into the Army,
four months of basic training, 16
months of overseas duty, two months
OF furlough time mixed in. and
month to discharge them.
Secretary Hannah, who handles
the military's manpower problems,
said this would eliminate waste" ="
II we bring a man back from
overseas after nine months, as we
have been doing in many cases."
said Hannah, " he isn't much good
to us for the rest of his service.
"He has only one thing in mind
getting out of the Army. Under
the new plan, every step is laid out
for the CT. When he gets back to
the United States. he's ready for
discharge.
I'VE think it will provide the max.
imum use Of military personnel"
Hannah pointed out that an in.
crease in voluntary enlistments-
at present "a drop in the bucket
would reduce the draft needs. This
is not anticipated, however, be-
cause:
Most Of the fellows wait for the
draft. Many enlisted to choose their
branch Of service and thus escape
the infantry. Getting shot at in
Korea became very unpopular, 50
some enlisted for four years in hopes
OF getting out Of infantry duty"
With the fighting over and the
infantry as safe as the next branch.
Hannah added, most young men will
sit back and wait to be drafted.

The Big r.

When the guns along the battle
line in Korea were silenced by the
truce agreement two weeks ago,
GIs emerging from their foxholes
had only one question:
when do we go home?"
In the next five months. upward
of 100000 draft-eligible youths on
this side of the world will ask
similar question with q reverse
twist:
when do we go to Korea? Or
do we?"
Although the military is always
reluctant to make promises or pin
point dates, the Pentagon has what
it considers reasonably accurate an
swerS to these questions.
Two Conclusions
The highest Pentagon sources say
that from the terms of the truce
and world conditions as they ap-
pear in the foreseeable future these
conclusions can be drawn:
/. Any CT in Korea with sub
stantial" service there during the
recently ended conflict, regardless
of points, can count on being back
in the United States by the end
of this year.
2. All youths about to go into
the Army, with few exceptions, can
figure on a 16-month tour of over
seas duty. either in the Far East
or Europe.
Pinning down military officials on
a definition Of substantial service
in Korea is difficult. They state
vaguely that it means more than
"a few days on the line" or "a
few weeks behind the line"
But it's safe to say that if
CT has had two months of combat
or six months of rear -echelon duty,
he Is tagged for a Homecoming
under the plan to rotate approx
1mately 10000 American troops a
month in and out of Korea.
The terms of the cease-fire order
limit the rotation of replacement
troops into Korea by the combined
United Nations forces to $4,000 a
month. South Korea, of course, is
not included in this exchange of
military personnel.
With the United States supplying
about IS per cent of the nop-Korean
troops to the y. N. armies, and the
expectation that some smaller ma
tions will not use their rotation
quotas, that would mean that Amer
lean relief troops would number
close to 10000 a MONTH.
The swap must be on a man-for-
man basis to maintain adequate
strength since the truce prohibits
either side from enlarging the size
of its forces now in Korea.
Element Of Compassion
Manpower officials are planning
to rotate those eligible to come
home on q priority basis that con-
tainS an element of compassion.
Combat veterans, who in most
cases have accumulated the highest
priority under the Army's point
system, will be the first to leave.
In general, the order Of rotation
will sweep from the front line to
the rear echelonS. But-and here's
where the compassion comes in
combat troops with fewer points
will sail for home before service-of
supply troops with more points in
cases where the fighting man is
conceded the greatest need of q
change Of scenery.
This involves a certain amount Of

others-all in the interests Of
American producers who feel the
competition of imports from Canada.
The list of Canadian exports thus
limited or jeopardized includes dairy
products, beef and cattle, oats,
aluminium, zinc and lead.
This threat to the continued SOL
vency of Canadian trade with the
United States has caused wide
anxiety in this country. The Ca
madam government has sent diplo-
matte notes to Washington, but
without visible effect.
Mr.. Drew has promised that if he
is chosen Prime Minister, he will
lead mission to England in a de-
termined effort TO revive Anglo
Canadian trade. He is also on record
with these words:
II don't intend to deal with the
United States except on basis of
equality. I believe the Government
of the United States is headed by
man who understands straight and
manly talk. . We are prepared to
make border arrangements just as
loose on this side as they are on
the other"
In the opinion Of observers here,
Mr.. Drew's words add up to threat
of retaliation against the United
States if Washington continues its
protectionist policies to the detri-
ment of the Canadian economy.
LiberoIs Fovored
However, the Conservatives are
not likely to get a chance to in
dulge in straight and manly talk"
with the Republicans. The sum OF
the political reaction in all 10 Ca
madam provinces probably will in
crease Conservative seats in the Par
lament by about so per cent,
but it's chances of forming the next
Canadian government are practically
negligible. Even leading Conserva-
tives admit privately that the people
are rejecting the argument that it's
time for a change after 18 Years Of
Liberal administration.
The Liberals require at least 1873
seats in the 265-member House OF
Commons - giving them a bare
majority Of one-to remain in Office.
Only seats in the Commons are at
stake in this election. Members Of
the Canadian Senate are appointed
by the government instead Of being
elected.
Eight and one-half million Ca
nadians - including, for the first
time, Canadian Eskimos - are ELI
gible to vote for the 899 candidates
who want a $6.000-a-year job as
member of Parliament.
The candidates come from five
different political parties - for the
multi-party system has taken vigor-
Gus root in Canada - plus q sub
stantial number Of assorted inde-
pendents. In addition to Grits and
Tories. as the Liberals and Con-
servatives are colloquially known,
