Killed, IS Injured
By the Asseeioied Press

PARIS, July 15.-French Dep
uties today called for a debate
in the National Assembly on
Bastille Day riots in which seven
persons were killed and IS in
jured.
Police and 1000 North Af-
ricans clashed during a Com
munist-led workers parade in
the Place de la Nation yesterday
Deputies said they would call
tomorrow on Leon Martinaud-
Desplats. Minister of Interior, to
explain why he had not assigned
a larger police force to the pa
rade.
The ministry of interior
opened it's own inquiry into the
riots. in which police said they
were forced to shoot to protect
themselves. Eighteen policemen
were injured seriously.
Fight Blamed on DownpOur.
Witnesses attributed the fight
to an unexpected cloudburst
which drenched the mrachers
and spectators near the end of
the demonstration. Another fac
tor was the coincidental arrival
on the place of three bus loads
of police homeward bound from
duty in various parts of the
city.
The witnesses said the North
African group, among the last
in the parade, had reached the

Denies Asking Action.

Representative Beamer, reached
at his Capitol Hill Office. said
neither he nor his son had asked
for deferment. He branded the
whole episode as probably a poll
tical move against him.
Mr.. Beamer said his sons
company had merely asked a
deferment until some one could
be trained to replace him. He
said his son had been planning
to go in the service and had no
objection to service.
Selective service headquarters
in Washington said the induction
of young Beamer was postponed
temporarily to determine wheth-
er an appeal was justified.
A selective service spokesman
said the action was requested by
Proctor & Gamble. He also said
SelectiVe Service Director Her
shey has not been approached by
Representative Beamer. He add
ed that young Beamer'S file has
not yet been received here, but
should arrive from Indiana this
week.
I'VE have no authority at Sc
lective service headquarters to
change the local board classical

said. "All we can do is study the
case to determine whether it is
strong enough to be presented to
the Presidential Appeal Board" "

Massive Red Attack Failed
To Rout ROKs, Observers Say

tacks, counterattacks and con-
fusion.
The Chinese charged heedlessly
across barbed wire, losing men at
a staggering rate. Explosives and
napalm mines cut soaring holes
in the Red attack.
Chinese infiltrators got be-
hind Korean artillery outfits.
One ROK artillery unit lowered
its howitzers to fire point blank
at charging Chinese.
Roads south were crowded with
ROK soldiers trudging south to
regroup. Some stopped by the
roadside to kindle smouldering
fires beneath rocky ledges in
efforts to dry out.
Many carried four or five rifles
or carbines, picked up from
1allen comrades.
Rain fell continually. Streams
rose. and heavy Army vehicles
were soaked to floor board level
in fording streams.
Learn New Lessons.
Some American ammunition
trucks went into bitches, but
other trucks continued to move
up in a race to resupply the al
lied guns before the rains made
the roads, completely impossible
Marching south past the am
munition trucks were South Ko-
rean infantry with empty rifles,
having fired every round they
had before retiring.

Sweers saw two 8-inch howitzers
lying upside down in a ditch
where they had slid off the road.

Army Plans Reducing
Draft Calls if Truce
In Korea Is Signed
Bv John A. Giles

The Army plans to reduce its
draft calls from the present 28,-
600 a month to 10000 if a truce
is signed in Korea.
But officials expressed caution
today in speaking of the plan
and said the Office of the As
SiStant Chief of Staff for Per-
sonnel had recommended that
the lower calls not be inaugu-
rated until late next spring. 1t
Is probable this recommendation
would not hold, however, and
the lower calls would be inau-
gurated earlier.
It was pointed out that should
a truce be signed, it would be
a military armistice and it is
assumed at the Pentagon that
American troops would have to
stand by until permanent peace
could be worked out.
Top Officials Optimistic.
Top officials were still opti-
mistic today that a truce can
be worked out.
The reduction in the draft is
predicated solely on the posi-
bility of truce.
President Eisenhower's plans
call for Army strength at 1,423,-
900 next June 80 should the Ko-
rean fighting continue on it's
present scale. But if a truce is
signed, the budget states there
should be 1,372,00O officers and
men. Present strength is about
1,530,0OO.
Re-enliStments are Factor.
Another decisive factor in the
lowered draft plans, is that re-
enlistment of men now in UNI
form has risen from l8 per cent
of those whose enlistments ex-
pred in December to % per
cent in January and 38 per
cent at present. Sixty per cent
re-enlisted in 1850 and officials
were alarmed when the drop
came late last year.
A 10000 call would be lowest
since June, 1852, when the
Army asked Selective Service
for 10000 men.
The draft calls have remained
static for several months.

Draft Board Resiqns
After Deferment Of
Congressman S Son
BY the Assoeioted Press

WABASH, Ind, July 15.-The
three-man Wabash County To-
cal draft board resigned yester-
day in protest to a deferment
granted the son of Representa-
time Beamer, Indiana's 5th dis
trict Republican Representative.
DR.. F. M. Whistler of Wabash
and Wendell Hicks of North
Manchester. two members of the
board, said the deferment had
been granted in Washington by
the office of Selective Service Di-
rector Lewis B. Hershey.
DR.. Whistler and Mr.. Hicks said
they had submitted their resig-
nation along with George Bosch
of Wabash, the third member
of the board, after receiving the
deferment notice Monday.
Deferment Granted.
The deferment was granted to
John V. Beamer, jr., %, whom
Mr.. Whistler said had been
ordered to report for induction
into the Army July 81.
Mr.. Whistler said the young
Beamer, an employe of the Proc
ter & Gamble Co. of Cincin-
natl, had appealed the local
boards ruling to State Selec-
tive Service headquarters. He
said the appeal had been de-
MED by State officials.
Mr.. Whistler said young
Beamer. who was married lust
last week, had been classified
2-A-deferred for occupational
reasons-but recently had been
reclaSsified la.
Mr.. Whistler added that young
Beamer had been working in
Cincinnati and St. Louis, but he
now believed he had been trans
ferred to California.

SEOUL, July 15.-The brunt of
the great Red assault of the last
two days-the biggest offensive
since 1951-hit the ROK Capitol,
9Th, 9th and Sd Divisions, all OF
them experienced by months in
the lines.
Military observers said the
Chinese aimed the savage blow
at the ROKS with the intention
of breaking them to pieces in a
disastrous rout. But this, they
said, was exactly what the Reds
failed to do.
Although Allied troops had
been alerted for possible attack,
the masSiveness of the assaults
came as a shock.
Front-line officers estimated
the Chinese had eight full divi-
sions in the fight, with more
than four of them committed the
first day and the others steadily
funneling in reinforcements.
Estimates of Red troops actually
in the battle ranged between co.
600 and 10000 men.
Reds Use Fresh Troops.
Associated Press Correspondent
Robert Gibson reported from the
ROK Capitol Division. on the
western flank, that the Reds
threw fresh and rested troops
into the assault.
Mr.. Gibson said the attacking
Red troops moved through the
Chinese divisions that regularly
man the line. The Chinese
troops apparently were holding
in preparation for any allied
counterattack.
Maj. Ralph Cowan. Elmira,
N. Y, an adviser to the Capitol
Division. said. "The Chinese at
tack was carefully rehearsed and
skllfully executed. They must
have run at least half a dozen
dry runs somewhere in North
Korea.
"The Chinese just kept piling
up and piling up and finally they
smothered U.S."
The Capitol Divisions deputy
commander and one regimental
commander were missing in ac-
ton. In one overrun regiment,
not a single battalion command
er was believed to be alive. Jun
ior officers kept their men fight
ing in the command post five
hours after the regiment was
Overrun.
Scene of Confusion.
The Red attacks were preceded
by thunderous artillery and NOR
tar barrages described as "un-
believable" by American officers
serving with the ROKs.

Greece Acts 10 Increase
Severity Of Press Laws
BY he Associated Press

ATHENS, July 15.-The gov
ernment has proposed legisla-
ton increasing the severity of
the punishment for libel and
other charges involving alleged
abuses and excesSes by the press.
The proposal was submitted to
the parliamentary Recess Com
mittee. The opposition press said
such laws would strangle press
liberties and pave the way for
a dictatorship.
The plan provides heavier fines
and prison sentences for dissem-
mating false reports concerning
the national currency and armed
forces. It applies similarly to
reports deriding or insulting
leaders of recognized political
parties or public, municipal and
communal authorities.

567 Reported Dead
In East Zone Revolt
By the Assoefnted Pres,


BERLIN, July 15.-A Hamburg
newspaper said today that the
June II East German revolt
claimed SGT lives, including 141
executed by Soviet firing squads.
The paper, Die Welt, said
1870 other persons were wounded
during the uprising.
These figures, far exceeding
any previous estimates, have
been confirmed by Gen. Wilhelm
Zaisser, East German Minister
for State Security. in an official
report to Soviet authorities, Die
Welt said.
Thus far the East German
government has said publicly
that only Is persons were killed
and 278 wounded in the revolt.
West German Chancellor Konrad
Adenaued told his parliament
81 had been executed. Die Welt
added: ~
Gen. ZaisSer had informed the
Russians that SLAB strikers we're
arrested, of whom 2,917 were
freed without trial and 1.076
were sentenced to a total of
6,321 years in prison. The re-
manning 1.150 were still being
held for investigation.
Die Welt said Gen. Zaisser
made his report July 10. A West
Berlin newspaper said yester-
day that he has been away from
his Office since July 9 and that
485 of his secret police had been
arrested since the downfall of
Russia's ex-police boss. Lavrenty
P. Beria. It is widely speculated
here that Gen. ZaiSser may be in
disgrace in Moscow as a Beria
follower.
