ANOTHER SCOUT ROOM DANCE
 TO BE GIVEN

An After the Game dance will be held on Saturday, January 22, at the ANB Hail from 10 to 1 a. m. Sponsoring the affair are the Girl Scout organizations troop commit tees and all proceeds will go to- ward the Scout Room renovation project at City Hall.
 The estimate on materials for the job is about $500, with $16O raised toward that goal already. All labor will be donated, said Vern F. Smith, work party chairman, and it is hoped that work can start next month as the Girl Scouts need workshop room badly.
 The Juneau high school team and rooters will be special guests of the troop committees, and gen. eral admission is set at s1. A four piece orchestra will furnish music.

This for the first time gives
an official Nationalist estimate
of the extent of the armed

To energize the armed forces,
the government is drafting be-

Those in good health and

Government sources say this

The army has 26 divisions-21

American arms. The remaining
five divisions also have some
American equipment. All are
subject to training by officers Of

Other Issues Stressed
Mr.. Reuther's proposal to Ford
required that all contract issues
other than the guaranteed wage
must be settled to avoid a Mon
day strike.
On working out details later Of
the amount and duration of the

Mr.. Reuther proposed that the
parties recess, following agree

for a week, and then negotiate
for a 30-day period to solve the
one jobless payment issue.
Failing that, the matter would

The union still was eoncen.
ltrating most on the Ford phase
of the talks, and Mr.. Reuthel
kept steadily working on the
Ford bargaining. He has moi
attended the GIN sessions II
more than a week.
Ford Apparently First
It appeared the JAW strategy
was to wrest the best terms pos
Isible from Ford. which has al
ready agreed in principle to the
unions key guaranteed annual
wage demand. But the posi-
bility remained that GIN would
step out to be the leader between
the two.
The UAW agreed Wednesday
Ito a four-day contract extension
for Ford, but insisted no further
delays would be granted after
midnight Sunday.
Negotiators were reported
ready to keep talking right up
to the deadline If necessary to
reach an agreement.
A settlement embodying even
"a modified version of the union
demanded guaranteed wage
would provide Mr.. Reuther with
"a wedge to use against the rest
of the auto industry.
Such a settlement could have
a tremendous bearing on the
fortunes Of the auto industry for
years to come and a decided i'm
pact on the Nations economy
as a whole.
Others Press Demands
Other unions are pressing
guaranteed wage proposals in
other mass production indus
tries.
Ford is the auto industry's
largest producer next to GIN.
The most immediate result of a
Ford settlement would be an
intensified campaign to get Cen
eral Motors to follow suit or come
up with something better.

TAIPEI. Formosa. ational-
list China feels that about one
out of every six members of its
armed forces is a combat inef-
fective and should be discharged.
The Nationalists are drawing
up q program to weed the in
electives out of the army. navy
and air force and put most of
them to work on projects which
the United States would have to
finance.
This may turn out to be the
cheapest way to solve problem
which daily grows more acute:
What to do with the Nationalist
servicemen who followed Chang
Kai-shek to Formosa five years
ago, but now are growing too old
to fight.
The problem is aggravated by
the fact that the Nationalist
armed services long have been
overloaded with officers, espe-
cially generals and admirals.
Then there are the officers and
men who quite legitimately have
grown old, i'll or outdated in the
services.
10000 Scheduled Ont
All must go. Nationalist au-
thorities now want to drop SO. 900
enlisted men and 1000 officers
about one out of every six mem
bers of military force estimated
at $4,000.
The Nationalists already have
dropped few men as the starter
on an elaborate program to-
eliminate deadwood. They say
that by June 80 thev propose to
be rid of $4,000. In the next year
$1,000 are to go.
What to do with these men
is a problem which the United
States and Taipei are negotiat-
ing. The Nationalists have their
eve on perhaps $50 million worth
Of counterpart funds from Amer
lean aid.
The United States however,
will not grant funds for pro-
jects until the Nationalist have
completed details of their pro-
gram and set up criteria for de-
terming which men should be-
eliminated from the armed forces
and which should be entitled tol
assistance.
No Rules Set Up Yet
Nationalists now talk of dis
charging enlisted men over As
years old. Retirement age for
officers would be scaled up
wards. No length-of-service cri-
terra have been specified.
The Nationalists would send
some servicemen to hospitals
and some to rest homes, but
most would go to work on

The UAW reported today that
GIN has offered to raise the So
called annual improvement fac
tor" wage increase from the
current S cents hourly each year
to 6 to 8 cents. These are auto
matte annual raises designed to
compensate workers for steadily
increasing production efficiency.
Higher Raise for Some
The latest Ford offer on this
point is said to be continuance
Iof the scent raise for most en-
|ployes. with an increase to 8
cents for some in higher than
average wage brackets.
On pensions, the UAW said
GIN offered to increase benefits
from the present SITS to $2.25
per month per year of credited
service. Ford is said to have
offered So per month per year.
The union is seeking $3.50.
Both the GIN and Ford plans
contained provisions for en-.
ployes to buy company stock for
half price. Descendants of the
late Henry Ford have controlled
all Ford stock for half a CEN
tury. But non-voting stock
