Siamese Bandits Steal
iGold Worth $2,000,000
BANGKOK, Siam, May 13. (P
The criminal investigation divi
sion announced between 20 and
30 armed bandits yesterday stole
an international gold shfnment

ing. Bargain assortments of
two year old bulbs: 12 for 25c,
60 for $1.00, 150 for $2.00 post

Beaverton, Ore.
valued at $2,000,000.
The shipment was en route to
Macao from India on a KLM
(Dutch) plane that stopped at
tsangKoK overnight.
The bandits, diseuised as Sia
roese police and soldiers, halted
a tuck carrying 120,000 grams
of gold to the customs house for
safe keeping.
Nine guards were handcuffed.
The bandits escaped.
Police later recovered $200,000
worth of the gold. A sergeant
driving through a park came
across a group of men in a truck
dividing gold from three boxes.
They fled in a nearby car leaving
the boxes containing the metal.
Still missing are 35 boxes.

Jeb Had the Folks
in Stitches!
r
At the Friday-Night Social,
Jeb Crowell had the audience in
stitches doing a take-off on the
blustering character who belittles
everybody and everything that isn't
from his own home town.
Well, we can laugh at that sort
of character because from where
I sit, Americans are just the op
posite. We like to boast a bit per- s
haps, about the paint job on the
new barn, or the .missus' style of
cooking but we aren't intolerant
of people who don't think or act
exactly the same way we do.
In our town, for instance: Some
folks like band concerts, others
don't some families serve beer
with dinner, others, buttermilk
and as for politics, there's plenty of
healthy disagreement.
But when it comes to denying
folks the right to think or act as
they choose . .'. no, we're like you
we don't belve in it, whether it
goes for serving beer, or speaking
one's mind on public afTairs.

Need for Power
Brings Support
For Draft Plan '
By JAMES THRASHER
As things look now we are
going to have selective service
without universal military train
ing. At least a leading House
Republican says that his branch
of Congress has made up its
mind and that the majority
would prefer no draft at all to
the Senate-proposed combination
of draft and UMT.
This decision seems to be the
result of politics, urgency, honest
conviction and honest doubt. The
opposition to UMT has been main
ly political. It has put some of
the most conservative congress
men in the company of Henry
Wallace and the Communists
and, under ordinary circumstan
ces, most of those congressmen
would rather be found dead than
In such company.
But the opposition to UMT has

found quite a number of clergy
men and educators in its ranks,
along with a good many mothers.
So the men who really hold the
reins in the House have bottled
up the UMT bill even if it meant
playing me pariy-une game iu
do so.
Two Reasons Cited
Whv. then, does a limited draft
bill find so much support? It is
more drastic in that it requires
two years continuous service, n
will take wage earners and some
married men and college students.
It will start inductions at 19,
which doesn't sidestep all the-ob-jections
to UMT's accent on
youth. ,
There seem to be two principal
reasons. And in all fairness the
non-political one should be put
first. Since the passage the of
ERP legislation, the tempo of
congressional activity has stepped
up. Threatening events in Eu
rope seemed to convince all but
the most reluctant members that
it was time to strengthen our
selves, as well as our neighbors
across the .Atlantic.
The Marshall Plan was a bold
step which enabled the United
States, for the first time, to take
the intiative against advancing
Communism. But bold diplomacy
needs some strength behind it
at least the minimum strength
that military leaders say we re
quire in a peaceful world.
So. many congressmen who not
long ago were quibDling over the
cost of European aid now seem
eager to vote even more appro
priations. And in this mood, it
is understandable that they see
the need of providing the man
power to fit the appropriations.
Many Exemptions
On the political side, the draft
touches far fewer families than
universal training, or some mod
ification of it. would do. There
are so many exemptions and de
ferments as to make one wonder u
there may be enough men eligible
to provide the 600-odd thousand
additions that the House bill
specifies. Yet those exemptions
and deferments are probably just
and necessary as regards military
service not military training
in time of peace.
That leaves unanswered the
question of training a large body
Of reserves. Some of our wisest
citizens insist that in this unset
tled world, our youth should be
eiven military fundamentals lor
their own protection as well as
lor the counrty s.
UMT opponents apparently are
willing to gamble, in votes, that
such training is not needed, and
that, in the space ol two years,
war will either be upon us or
the threat of war will be dispel
led. That is a debateable view of
the future. But at least we need

Costs 500 Lives
SEOUL, May 12. (Pl The
first free election In this 4,000-
year old nation cost nearly 500
lives.
. But. desnite bomhines. sabotage
and threats of violence, some 7,-
000.000 South Koreans voted Mon
dav. U. S. occupation officials re
ported proudly. The 200 national
assemblymen they elected will set
up Koreas ursi democratic government.
Counting of ballots for nearly
1,000 candidates proceeded tedi
ously. It may be several days be-
lore all results are Known.
A postelection calm, and an
apathy, settled over South Korea
almost immediately after the
polls closed. Surprisingly, the
Koreans who had voted so heavily
in defiance of Communist threats,
showed little Interest or perhaps
it was great patience in the
tabulation.
U. S. occupation authorities said
the violence was Communist in
spiredfrom Soviet dominated
North Korea, which flatly refused
a United Nations invitation to par
ticinate in the ballot.
Pre-election violence, intended
to friehtcn Koreans away from
registration booths, had cost 384
lives in lu weeKs.

out not seriously hurt and
tried to wave off his companion..
However, Mason's plane also hit
the wires.
They were brought to a hospi

possibly other injuries. His con
dition was called serious but ap
