Action on Jerusalem
Explained by IsraeIis

The Israeli Embassy said to-
day that its designation Of Je-
rusalem as Israel's capital is
merely a move to return to con-
ditions of May. 1850. when the
ancient city last was functioning
as the capital.
The Embassy's statement was
in reply to Joint protest by am
bassadorS of six Arab states
against removal of the Israeli
Foreign Office from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem. The protest was filed
yesterday with United States
Undersecretary of State Walter
Bedell Smith by the ambassadors
of Saudi Arabia. Egypt, Lebanon.
Yemen, Iraq and Syria. The
United States already has re-
fused to remove its embassy from
Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Having forcibly prevented
peaceful Observation-Disclosures and
having failed to make the entire
city Arab by force of arms" an
Israeli Embassy spokesman said.
the Arabs have since opposed
every plan put forward by other
states to secure the legitimate
objective of safeguarding the
Holy Places"
Meanwhile in New York. the
United Nations delegates of the
six Arab nations met to consider
filing a formal protest with the
General Assembly against the
Israeli action.

Rx Moi. THONGS N. Mol

If you thought the effect OF
the depression of the 30s was
over. you're wrong.
It's haunting the Nations mil
itary manpower planners who
must think in terms of young
men available for future military
duty.
During the depression the
number of babies born-today'S
youth-was far off the pace.
Thus there's a short supply of
young men who can now be
called into service, not enough to
meet future needs if the present
armed force strength is to be
maintained and if present draft
and enlistment policies continue
Although some of the effect
has already been felt, the full
effect of the low birth rate won t
hit until sometime in 1855. It
will not be until the 1960s that
the bumper baby crops OF the
1940S will again give the country
a rapidly rising number of young
adults.
Selective Service and the De-
Tense Department are watching
this shortage very closely since
they're responsible for military
strength. Selective Service has
to draft the men after the De-
tense Department has set the
number to be drafted. On it's
own, the Defense Department is
also responsible for getting as
many volunteers as possible. BY
and large these come from the
draft-age men of the nation.
Ways to Meet Shortage.
The present armed strength
is felt necessary to train and
maintain a defense against any
aggreSSor. So about the only re-
lief from the shortage of quail
fled manpower would be to
change the present draft policies
and/or lower the physical and
mental standards for enlistment.
This would mean many men not
now eligible for service could be
used.
One move in this direction was
made earlier this month when
the determent policy for draft
age fathers was changed. After
August IS fatherhood alone will
no longer be grounds for draft
deferment Men deferred before
August Is as fathers will con-
tinue to be deferred, but the
only grounds for being deferred
as father after that will be
because Of extreme hardship to
| the family.

Veterans and Droftees

Selective Service says this
change will raise slightly the
present limited pool of draftable
young men. It will make about
10000 to $4,000 more men a
month available for service. But,
only about 5000 to 5000 month
Will be going into service since
about one-third of all young
men of draft age-181a to 90
are rejected under present physi-
cal standards.
With draft calls now running
about $4,000 month. these adj
ditional men will temporarily
put off the need for changing
other draft policies.
However. the pool will really be
at rock bottom in two or three
years if present draft policies
and enlistment standards are
continued. Long before that
some changes in these policies
and standards will have to be
made. They are being consid-
cred even now.
Some Fathers May Be Drafted.
The possibility of making now
deferred fathers eligible for the
draft is being looked over. This
would add about 1,135,000 men.
The other big possibility is to
lower draft and enlistment phys
ical and mental standards.
Presently more than 112 million
draft-age men are in 4F-unfit
for service on physical, mental
or moral grounds. How many of
these would be available for
service if the standards are low
cred is a guess. but it would be
a good number.
The number of men in the
other draft-deferred categories-
occupational. students, aliens,
etc.-is small, and in any case
most men holding these defer
ments will sooner or later be
eligible for the draft because
their deferments are temporary.
The draft deferments for fathers
and 4Fs are relatively perma-
nent.
OF course, a change in the age
limit for drafting or a length
ening of service required by
draftees might be made. But
these are drastic measures that
would have to be initiated by
Congress and would only be re-
sorted to as a last chance.

How Do You Read?

How Do You Read?
Every few months we read about
new medical miracle" as the
magazines and newspapers keep us
up to date on the phenomenal prog
ress being made these days by med
ical and dental science.
Sometimes, however, the doctors
wish we were informed either much
less about medical matters, or much
more correctly. After reading
headline, excited patients beseige
the doctors demanding a new and
improved "cure." Keeping the news
out of the press is not the answer.
You and have the right to know
about new medical discoveries that
may some day affect us. But we
must learn to read beyond the head
lines of a scientific news story.
Headlines are not supposed to tell
a story, but to lead us to read the
complete facts. There are not many
articles which can't be trusted, and
you can usually spot them by their
sensational tone. Learn to watch
for certain signposts. If the writer
seems to be telling you: "This is
it, y 'This disease has been Infinitely
defeated" "This new discovery will
cure everyone" that's the time to be
doubtful
Most science writers are careful
in announcing a new medical treat
ment. If it holds out hope, but not
been throughly tested, they will tell
you that it is biased on limited"
or "a single study" You will see
such words as "experimentally,"
preliminary apparently" and
seems" When the writer says that
the treatment relieves" the symp-
toms of disease, he does not mean
that it will 'cure" the disease.
Even if the "cure" seems COM

pletely proved, don't jump to the
conclusion you can be cured. Every
patient must be treated as an in
dividual. Don't hesitate to ask your
doctor about it. Take the article
to him so that he will know what
you are talking about. Sometimes
story will appear in the papers
before the doctor has been able to
read about it in his medical journal.
Don't expect the doctor to give you
an immediate answer. Only if the
new treatment has been thoroughly
tested and shows promise for your
case will he use it. The important
point in any illness is to start with
a doctor you trust and then accept
his decision.

that means the best evidence readily
available. This can be done by evil

most instances, such as the family
bible, an insurance policy, a baptis-
NAL, etc.
Question-Is child under 81 years
of age, working for parent, or a
parent working for child or chill
dren, covered by the law?
Answer-No. Neither is a wife
working for her husband, or vice
versa.
Question-Does one and one-half
years of covered employment insure
every one for benefits at IS?
Answer-No. This provision ap-
plies only to people who become IS
years old before July, 1854. If you
reach IS after the year 1870, you
will need to have 10 years of cover
age to qualify.
Question-Has a progressive tax
rate been written into the law?
Answer-Yes. The tax provision,
which has not been suspended, pro-
vides a tax increase to 2 per cent

ployee, and 3 percent for the self
employed person, effective January l,

Along The Potomac
from your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

WASHINGTON, Nov. II - The
reopening of the White spy case has
hit the Capital with terrific impact.
1t made headlines last Friday,
when Attorney General Brownell
announced his discovery of records
which showed that the White House
was informed by the FBI in 1945
that Harry Dexter White, then AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury,
was a spy for the Soviet government.
White was given an even more i'm
portant job, on the International
Monetary Fund, after the FBI report
was made.
Most of the comment heard in the
offices and Railways of the Capital
Building summed up to this; That
the discovery of the facts in the
White case should be a signal for
every appropriate agency and Con-
gressional committee to delve into
every file, every document and every
corner of the nation to find out
wether there may be any other cases
which have affected our national
security.
Up to now a relatively small num-
Der of Democrats and Republicans
have warned that the U. S. was get
ting into tragic trouble security
wise, while left-wingers have scott
ed at the idea and refused to CO.
operate in investigations ito deter
mine whether or not there has been
a security problem.
Evidence that there has been
something definitely wrong is OBJ
vious in the fact that 1856 security
risks have been fired, or allowed to
resign from the government, so far
this year. In the State Department
alone they have been dropped at the
rate of nearly two every day.
The American people and their
federal government must face a
grim fact - that our republic is
leading the free world in trying to
withstand the domination of the
globe by a handful of Communist
gangsters whose headquarters are in
the Soviet Union. There is no point
in even attempting such struggle
and spending the money and lives
necessary to sustain it, unless
American citizens can be confident
that their leaders are permitting no
sellouts and tipoffs to our enemies.
Its as simple as a football game.
If the right tackle has an injured
ankle the coach has to make a sub
stitution as soon as possible. In the
meantime, he doesn't want the OPP
posing team to notice the weakness,
or they'll run every play through
the right tackle And if he doesn't
do something about it fast, the fans
will see to it he doesn't remain in
his coaching job very long.
