Views Conflict
On Drafting
Nat'lCuard
BY c. YATES MCDANIEL


WASHINGTON R-Tne Army
and Selective Service told appar-
emily conflicting views of the draft
liability Of some members of the
National Guard.
An Army manpower officer said
that man who enlists in the
National Guard after he has
reached II years of age and before
he becomes 1874 is exempted from
the draft If he serves actively in
4 recognized guard unit for eight
consecutive years.
A Selective Service spokesman,
however, said that most National
Guardsmen, except those with prior
federal service, will be subject to
induction until their 35th birthday.
Both viewpoints are based upon
the same law, the Universal Mill
tary Training and Service Act of
1851.
The Army Interpretation cites a
section which permits the National
Guard Of any state, upon the gov
errors proclamation that it Is not
possible to maintain the guard
strength otherwise, 10 enlist guards
men before they are 1874 years old.
This section of the law states that
such guardsmen win be deferred
from induction.
Selective Service bases its state.
ment on another section which says
no person may be indicted after
he has attained age 26 except
that persons deferred remain liable
for induction until age s..
A Selectiye Service spokesman
said the law was perfectly clear on
this point and that be knew of no
modifying directive.
Assistant Secretary Of Defense
Hannah recently proposed a tight
ening Of the act to end the tenn
porary deferment of men who vol
unfairly joined the National Guard
before they became 1871.
This proposal was referred TO
the military services for comment
and recommendations. So far no
decision has been reached by the
Defense Department as TO whether
Congress viii be asked to make
this change.

CITY MANAGER AND CONTROLLERS JOBS
ARE NOT POLITICAL PLUMS

Many Key Westers regret that Dave King resigned
city and Charles R. Roberts city comptro
ler for they good who performed their duties eff
fcienty But all the talk and much wondering about
knowing where the city will get to replace them
in line with what has been said thousand times and al
ways has proved to be unounded There ruer saying
than that mans boots too big to be filled by
other man.
has been amusing since King resigned, to hear talk
about the supposed appointment of this that
manager Such Cabling makes think that managing
city is put level with running peanut stand. Men
mentioned possible appontees have had experience
whatever in conducting the affairs of city.
Neither the managers the comptroller's job
should be looked upon political plums. An experience
ed each instance needed because the welfare of
the city at stake The appointment of men, unfamiliar
with the jobs just because they good fellows would
disrupt efficiency in government.
As Key Westers may recall, when we had council

When the councimanic replaced by the
managerial form, civil engineer employed because
city manager here elsewhere is qualified do that
type of work For that reason the Commissioners should
name man who is familiar with the work required of q
city manager.
Next November Key Westers will be given an oppor-
tunity decide what kind of city government they want

ager form Of government beause obviates buck passing

the city, However local voters will have the privilege to

John Clark, using f1annelgraph
board, illustrated how to plan a
garden to the Clayton Clodhoppers

ing points were that small gard
en- we'll cared for will yield better
profit than a large garden of
weeds. Also, garden rows should
run east to west to get best ad-
vantages of sunshine. Harry Cloud,
local leader, assisted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Osborne, followed the
discussion with an oral gardening
quiz. Earl Hurd and Carl Fisch-
er received first prizes due to a tie;
and Betty Ann Hurd and Matthew
Fischer received second prizes. The

istration on planning the vegetable
garden. This recording will be
used for the All review on WDEL
