Addressing the Chamber of

For instance, he said, it has
been estimated that railroads

Defiant teen-age National
Guardsmen in the Army's six
month reserve training program
have been giving their command
ers rough time and the Penta-
gon is about to do something
about it.
The teen-agers are taking ad-
vantage of the fact that two
standards of justice are being
used in dealing with the 1900
Iorganized reservists and the
300 Guardsmen now training
side by side, in six camps.
In case of any infraction by
National Guardsmen whic h
would ordinarily result in court
martial actions, the command
ing generals of the camps have
been instructed to forthwith re-
lieve the offender and return
him to the military authority
of his State"
Offenders among the teen
ayers signed up in organized
reserve units are subject to the
stern provisions of the Uniform
Code Of Military Justice, which
is applicable to all military per-
sonnet.
The reason for this double
code is that National Guards

Russians Pull Out
OF Base in Finland

HELSINKI, Finland, Jan. 2t
IR.-Soviet Russia moved of
Helsinki's doorstep today, giving
up the Porkkala Naval Base
Under the 1914 Russian Fin
nish armistice and the 1947 treaty
of Paris, the base area was leased
to the Russians for so years.
The Russians are turning ovei

utilities and other structures put
up at Porkkala in the last II
years. These include eight har-
Dor piers, several factories. a hos
pital. some bridges, a 3-mile rail-
road, a lighthouse and water
lines.
The area was restored to Fin
land at Soviet Embassy cere-
monies today. Soviet Deputy
Premier Mikhail Pervukhin said
with the return Of Porkkala,
we have no more bases on foreign
soil. The cause of peace would
be served II other nations acted
similarly"
Premier Urho Kekkonen said
Porkkala's return was "of special
Importance to Finnish national
interests. since the base was Sit
uated only IL miles outside our
capital" He viewed the transfer
OF the base as proof Of the re-
Taxation OF the international ten
sion and as a demonstration OF
the means by which continued re-
taxation could be attained"

Defiant Guard Teen-Agers Cause
Pentoqon Action on Discipline

Fort Ord. Calf, having tired Of
the training program, have just
gone home.
The Army has been powerlesS
to act. State officials to whom
cases of attractions by Guards
men have been referred have not
reported back on what actions
have been taken.
Morale among the reserve six
month traineeS and among reg
ular troops has been affected.
Carter L. Burgess, Assistant
Defense Secretary for manpowel
and personnel, has fatty rejected
a proposal that National Guard
officers be called to active duty
at the camps to deal with the
offenders.
Instead, red tape is being cut
and an order is being written in
line with Mr.. Bartimo's opinion
to place the Guardsmen under
the Uniform Code Of Military
Justice.
The legality Of the action still
may be open to challenge, how
ever. The State Adiutants Cen
eral still want to issue the Or
ders sending volunteers who
join the Guard between the ages
of II and 1914 years to the six
month training camps. Lawyers
now must determine whether
Army Secretary Brucker can
legally delegate such power.

Acquisition OK
WON by Eastern
Allowed to Toke Over
| COLONEL AirIines
By the Associated Pres

The Civil Aeronautics Board
announced today that President
Eisenhower has approved acquis-
ition of Colonial Airlines. Inc.
by Eastern Air Lines.
Presidential approval was re-
CURED since foreign operations
are involved.
Eastern has long sought clear
ance to acquire Colonial.
National Airlines. which also
sought to acquire Colonial. hao
waged a vigorous fight against
approval of Eastern's plan. Ma
tional recently carried Its case
directly to the White House ir
an effort to get new CAB hear
ings at which 1t could Offer
additional evidence.
The CAB originally approved
acquisition Of Colonial by East.
ern in 1854. but President Ell
senhower disapproved on the
ground that persons connected
with Eastern had illegally &C.
quired control of Colonial.
The question involved at thai
time was whether purchases Of
Colonial stock by officers Of
Eastern amounted to acquir-
ing control Of Colonial without
advance approval by the CAB
After the 1854 White House
ruling, the CAB ordered East
ern to divest itself of control OF
Colonial. 1t made a finding later
that this had been done through
sale Of the stock.
Eastern's plan to absort
Colonial calls for exchanging
one of its shares for each two
shares of Colonials 520.600 out
standing share units. In a re.
port last October. a CAB ex.
aminer concluded that in effect
Eastern would pay $9,875,13l
for Colonial stock worth ST..
97l ,687.
Colonial operates between
New York and Washington and
Montreal and Ottawa, by way
of intermediate cities, and be-
tween New York and Washing
ton and Bermuda.
Eastern operates between
northeastern cities such al

ton, and Texas, Louisiana and

its zenith at the summit confer

This $5S.5 million project is
scheduled for opening in the fall
