tive duty. Second, a young man under
Ii IL years of age may enlist in the
reserves for years, take 8 to 6
months training at $50 month, and
be deferred from induction as long
as he complies with reserve require
ments. Third, a young man under
1917 may join an organized unit of
the National Guard or reserves and,
as long as he meets the unit training
requirements he will be deferred
from induction.
Not more than 100000 young men
will be accepted for the second pro-
gram. A young man entering the
3-to-6-months program enlists for
"active duty for training" AS such,
he is not considered a member of the
active forces. So his benefits are not
the same as those received by mem
bers of the active forces. For exam
pie, he will not be permitted to con-
vert his National Service Life Insur-

sion, payment for accrued leave and
federal employees compensation.
Since 1851, law has provided that
each person un6zw &c entering the
armed forces is obligated for a total
of years of service on active duty
and in a reserve unit. The new law
cuts this obligation to six years
but only for those entering the armed
forces following it's enactment and
for active military training and serv-
ice.
Of course there are defects in the
new law. Removing them will be one
of the problems confronting the sec
ond session of this Congress. This
nation has an enormous stake in
building up a strong and ready re-
serve. This is the only alternative to

Neither Party Has Any
Foreign Policy Except
A Universal Crouch

In school geography of 70 years

bear on an iceberg breaking up in the

Chunks were floating away. Does i.
remind of Dulles at Geneva Illuminating
to rearm West Germany when every
body else was talking of Peace and
World Disarmament? NATO, the West
ern Alliance, the iceberg on which
Dulles is riding into the warm air of
friendly peaceful gestures of all Com
munist and Neutral Nations is break
ing UP in chunks, and also melting
throughout.
In the British Colony of Cyprus so
per cent of the people are Greeks, 20
per cent Turks. But Britain enforces
Turkish law and customs. The Greeks
there want the island annexed to
Greece. 1t is about twice as large as
Delaware other Greeks favor it. We
stand by Britain. Thus ends Greek
cohesion with us, though we sent to
Greece one billion dollars to arm them
against Russia. They are shooting Eng
lish of nights in Cyprus. Dulles should
not go unguarded in Athens at night.
Egypt needs another big dam on the
Nile English money built the Assuan
Dam: French money the Suez Canal
(104 miles long), England is short of
money. France, wealthy in 1900, went
broke the same way we are going
broke (Militarism). She has no money
for a dam of the Nile. We owe more
than the assessed value of all our
property. If we were flush, of course,
the Power Lobby in Washington would
rather spend it in Egypt, than erect
Missouri River Valley Authority. So
the Soviet Union, with no national debt
(but hungry and ragged according to
our Press) hands Egypt some billions
to dam the Nile.
Personally, I admire the fine little
Jewish commonwealth in Palestine.
But it has displaced million now
squaIid hungry Arabs. One tenth the
money we have spent trying to rearm
Germany would have resettled those
people. Their plight has turned against
us 300 million Mohamm edans.

Germany has a sixty cents per pound

of occupation troops, which East Ger
many is free from, as well as other
obligations.
A Peculiar Situation
The Bonn Government, as well as all
others, have to cross a hundred miles
of East Germany, in order to get to
Berlin; same holds good with the food
and other stuff shipped over the canal
into Berlin: 1t will take a Philadelphia
lawyer to figure out how to renew the
different permits, and deal in many
other matters with country it has no
earthly use for.
Bonn's dealings with the Western
World, in utter disregard to East Ger
many's participation, eventually led to
this surprise move. Thus East Ger

free from all war debts, as well as rid

INTERIOR DROPS ECHO
PARK Dam SUPPORT

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NRECA)
Echo Park Dam has been dropped
from the Upper Colorado River Stor-
age Project plans, Secretary of the
Interior Douglas Mckay announced
last week. In making the announce
ment, Mckay said he had met with
officials of the council of conserva-
tionists states and was optimistic
about congressional approval of the
Upper Colorado project next session
with Echo Park Dam eliminated.
The Senate last April upheld the
entire project, including Echo Park,
by vote of 1928, and in separate
ballot defeated $3.50 an amendment
by Sen. Richard Neuberger (Oreg.)
which would have eliminated the dam.
Later, House Interior subcommittee
knocked out Echo Park, recommend
ing study by presidential commits
sion of alternate sites for the struc-
ture.
The dam, which has received en-
thusiastic endorsement from many
rural electric leaders, has been pro-
tested by sine conservationists claim
ing it would be an invasion of the
Dinosaur National Monument, top
scenic attraction in the area, and set
a precedent for encroaching on other
park areas.

Constructive Suggestions

the probability that 1.-TWO Bit" Hamil-

Between us, we have solved or thought

meany, the editor of the old Family
Sheet, tried to throw cold water on our
efforts to accomplish the Millennium by
rudely inquiring who, just who is
going to provide the food to sustain
their enjoyment of the new found
utopia"
l am most astonished that he should
ask such a question. Who else but the
government, that is to say, the taxpay-
ers. We already tax ourselves for par
ity price supports, cheap REA loans,
conservation payments, free school
tion costs, cheap government power
free flood control and navigation. We
are being harrangued to tax ourselves
for free government schools, free gov
eminent highways, cheap government
housing, and give-away contributions
of billions of dollars to every nation
in the world.
We have contributed 500 millions OF
dollars to the Indians of Asia but
nothing to the poverty stricken Ameri-
can Indians. SO why not tax ourselves
for free government meal tickets, free
government automobiles, free govern
ment gasoline, and free government
motels.
All we would have to do whenever we
run out of funds would be to make |
out new Income Tax Return, send it
in and draw on the United States Treas |
ury to print more spending money Silly |
you say. Well no more so than present |

u. N. Arms Conferees
Hope for Red Reaction

Frances Jules Moch took up
most of the meeting yesterday
with a discussion of the French
plan for ensuring disarmament
through a close check in the
nations military budgets. Pre-
mier Edgar Faure first advanced
the plan at the Geneva sum-
NIT conference.
Under it an army of trained
accountants would scan military
budgets and study proposed
schedules for reducing disarm-
|ament. Part of the saving in
defense funds would help I'M
'derdeveloped countries.
French Plan Praised
Mr.. Stassen. British Minister
of State Anthony Nutting and
Paul Martin of Canada all
praised the plan. with some
reservations Mr.. Sobolev COM
.mented it. was interesting but
it is being studied in Moscow.
Mr.. Nutting expressed belief it
would provide a valuable cross
check on other control measures.
Mr.. StasSen said the plan was
brilliant - had magnificent
merit" but pointed out that it
didn't go to the heart of the
security problem of guarding
against surprise attack.
He also said that the account
ing practices of different govern
mentS-prices of aircraft. gov
eminent rates for rail transport
and such-would make it difficult
to compare accoqntings. He
added that the hopes of needy
countries should not be raised
prematurely.

Polio Incidence
Passes Peak
For IS Season
By the Associated Press

Polio apparently has passed
its peak for 1855. the Public
Health Service said today.
The services weekly report on
polio cases listed by the States
showed 2,033 in the week ended
September 3, with no figures in
from Nebraska and Montana.
In the comparable 1854 week
there were 2,l0l cases.
The cases reported last week
represented a drop of 256 from
the week ended August 81. or a
orop of 242 If Nebraska ana
Montana were excluded.
This would appear to indi-
cate that the peak of incidence
for the country as a whole was
reached in the week ended Au-
gust 81" the report said.
There were 2.289 cases re-
ported in the week ended August
81, the record for 1855, and the
only week since early June in
which the 1855 cases exceeded
those in the comparable 1854
week.
For 1855 there have been 49,
1872 cases, 5.6l5 of them para
lytic, compared with l9,205 for
the corresponding 1854 span, in
Guiding 7.0l8 paralytic.
For the disease year." which
begins about April /, there have
been 1919 cases. compared with
1852 a year ago.
All divisions of States reported
decreases in cases except the
Mountain States. which are
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah
and Nevada.
Massachusetts continued to
lead the States in new cases last

brief program was that of Mrs.

who said softly and with obvious
deep feeling, "Our sons hated
