DIPLOMAS FROM THE QUEEN
South Korea Set
To Reduce Army

SEOUL. Korea, Aug. 26 (AP)
South Korea plans to trim
100000 men from it's 100000
man army to save about SO
million a year.
The money saved would be
used for internal reform" and
higher governmental salaries.
Premier John Chang told United
States Ambassador Walter P.
McConaughy yesterday in ask
ing American support for the
plan. The South Korean army
guards most of the 155-mile
Korean truce line under an
American overall command.
Defense Minister Hyun Suk-
no told newsmen the plans for
a manpower cut were based on
the assumption the Unite d
States would supply the South
Korean army more modern
weapons and equipment. The
army thus would not lose de-
fense power, he claimed.

income and resources were in
sufficient to meet costs of seri-
GUS illnesses.
These Federal grants would
come from general Treasury
revenues and not be through
social security taxes. AS pro-
posed originally by Representa-
tive Forand, Democrat Of Rhode
Island, health care services for
aged persons otherwise eligible
in the social security system
would be financed by increases
in those levies on employees and
employers.
1858 Million Cost
The overall Federal State
estimated annual cost of the
program in the present bill was
estimated at about 1858 million.
The pending bill would make
Federal grants available to
help States give an additional
$12 a month for medical care
to an estimated "a million
persons currently receiving old
age assistance. The Federal
share Of the extra $l2 would
range from so per cent to 80
per cent on the basis Of the per
capita income of the States.
Eligibility standards would be
determined by the individual
States.
The package plan" in the
medical care section Of the bill
also includes a proposed Fed
eral-State subsidy program for
providing medical assistance to
needy aged persons, whether or
not they are on the social secu-
rity rolls. This potential total
would be about 10 million, al
though fewer than l million
would require assistance at any
one time.

The NFPOC also will start

Different Kinds

Cutworms come in various
sizes, shapes, and colors, but they
have one thing in common they
all damage crops.
In May last year the bronzed
cutworm chewed its way thru
pastures in Northeast Ohio; the
black cutworm damaged corn
underground in Northeast Ohio;
and the variegated cutworm, a
climber, injured garden crops
and fruits.
Best way to fight these pests,
say Ohio State University Ex-

Holdsworth, Jr., and Billie D.
Blair, is with chemicals. Climb

say, can be controlled in corn by

accounting for two-thirds fish
per hour for angling. Worm
dunkers took one-half fish per
hour and soft craws were least
effective on rock bass bringing
in only one-fourth fish per hour.
Spinners were the best artifi-
cial lures and brought in more
than one-half fish per hour.
Plugs took less than one-half fish
per hour and other types of
artificials were much lower in
effectiveness. Rock bass fisher
men averaged less than one-half
fish per hour during the five
year period or less than half the
success of the smallmouth bass

mites which took one and one
half bass per hour of fishing.
Crawfish were second taking one
bass per hour, and worms caught
one-half fish per hour.

laneous other lures less than
one-half fish per hour.
Live bait averaged a little
more effective per hour of ang-

Smallmouth bass fishermen aver
aged almost one fish per hour

A total of 389 rock bass were
