West German Socialists
Rebuff Bid From Reds
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Germany, July
13.-West German Communists
offered today to join with the So
cialists in the September general
elections but met a swift rebuff.
Because of the new electoral
law, the Communists may lose
all representation in the West
German parliament after the
September 6 voting. Today Max
Reimann, the Red leader, in an
nouncing the party platform, said
ION behalf of the Communist
party I declare that joint &C
ton with the Socialists is pos
sible. The Communist Party
pledges to support even the small
lest Socialist step toward preser-
walton of peace, the reuniflca-
ton of our fatherland and toward
a better living for the working
class"
The Socialists, who oppose the
government of Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer but are bitterly
anti-Communist, rejected the
bid. A party spokesman de-
clared there will be no joint &C
ton and no discussion with the
Communists on any level by any
Socialists"

collectives. Communist officials
tried to stop them. Clashes fol-

Two 18th Century Churches
In Maryland to Be Restored

Services are still conducted
regularly at Trinity Church,
which Radcliffe said is believed
to be the oldest Episcopal church
in the country and the third
Oldest Of any denomination in
the Nation.
Mr.. Radcliffe has a personal
interest in the program because
his grandfather. Thomas Broome
Travers, was the chairman of
the Building Committee of Grace
Church and donated the land on
which it stands.
He explained that Grace
Church's Chapel of Ease was so
called because it was a sort of
mission, or branch church some
distance from the main church,
and was attended by parishioners
as a matter of convenience.

The United States is running
into a manpower pinch which
makes it necessary to revise ma
tional policies so as to make the
best use of the increasingly
shallow pool of trained men.
BY the end of the next two
years frightened draft rules may
be necessary to obtain the num-
Der Of men needed for the armed
services.
Disadvantage in numbers as
against Russia can be compen-
stated by an advantage in skills
only as full use is made Of the
native ability Of this country'S
people and as they are provided
with top training and equipment.
These are the highlights of
report issued today by the Ma
tional Planning Association. This

labor and the professions. with
offices in Washington.
Shortage Is Expected.
What happened in the 1905
is giving a new twist to the
nations manpower situation.
The report points out that COM
ing to the age Of 10 now is the
sparse generation born in the
depression when the birth rate
fell precipitously.
The shortage will get worse
through 1854. And it will not
be until the 1905 that the
bumper baby crops of the 1940's
will again give the country a
rapidly rising number of young
adults.
The report describes some dis
agreement regarding manpower
available for the draft in the
near future. But it says there
is no disagreement on the fact
that the military manpower
supply may be very tight by
1855.
1t recommends, therefore, a
review of policies to obtain more
men for the services if enough
cannot be found under present
rules or if there are ways of
obtaining the necessary numbers
more wisely.
Rule on Fathers Forecast.
The printed report, apparent

ferments for fathers if the man.
power pool failed to provide the
necessary number of men for
the services.
President Eisenhower on Sat-
urday ordered discontinuance of
defermentS because of father
hood unless it could be shown
that extreme privation and
hardship would result. Father
deferments now number more
than l million. the NPA report
stated.
Scholarships Advocated.
The report finds that student
defermentS have considerable
public approval. But if such de-
ferments are continued the
point is raised whether there
should not be a scholarship Sys-
