Defense Chief Urges
Prafr Act's Extension
(Continued from page One)
purely American military view
point, Johnson said that:
1. Continued existence of a
draft law "would be a precious
saving in time if an emergency
should require the return to1 in
ductions." If the draft law is per
mltted to die, "seven full months
after enactment (of a new act)
would elapse before we had the
machinery capable of effecting
Inductions at the rate of 300,000
per month."
2. Extension of the draft act
would cost $4,000,000 and main
tenance of records reaulred to
keep the system running would
cost another $6,700,00. "Thus, for
total of less than $11,000,000 per
year, a figure equivalent to less
than 110 of one percent of the
miniary ouager, during tne criti
cal three years Just ahead we will
be able to buy that most precious
of all wartime commodities, time."
; 3. "From a short range point
or view . . . selective service Is
required as a guarantee against
the strength of the armed forces
falling dangerously below that
needed to maintain an adequate
military posture."
4. Extension of the law would
"materially assist the mainten
ance of strong reserve forces."
There is a chance Congress and
the Defense department can get
together on a compromise.
The compromise mentioned In
congressional quarters and in the
Pentagon would take the form of
a "skeleton draft."
Draft machinery ' would be
kept alive. But provision would
be made that no one would be in
ducted unless an emergency arose.
Secretary of Defense Johnson
heads the list of the military de
partment's representatives who
will tell the committee why they
. believe the law should be kept
active. 1
The present draft has been In-actl-c
since January, 1949. In
fact, only about 30,000 men were
called up under it since it was
passed in the summer of 1948.

that the fact the draft act is on

Other Lines Stymied
Milwaukee officials attempted
to route east and westbound
trains over Northern Pacific
tracks, but that railroad also had
line trouble. So did Great North

from the Middle West thrqe to
eight hours late.
Northwest Greyhound officials
said eastbound schedules last
night and early today were can
celled because of a slide that
closed Snoqualmie pass. Stevens
pass in Washington state also
was closed, as were the Evergreen

of Portland.
The Portland airport was closed
with ice on its runway.
There was freezing rain over
Washington last night, and slides

The Columbia river highway

The highway commission said
In Its road report that chains

But it suggested that motorists
have chains in their cars if they
plan to travel on the Sunset and

the Pendleton and The Dalles
areas.
PORTLAND, Jan. 20. UP)
Trees crashed down on power
lines, phones went out, roofs col

damage in nortnwestern Oregon
last night and today.
The silver thaw followed by
rising temperatures disrupted
normal routine in scores of com
munities. More than 800 cases of trouble
were reported by Portland Gen
eral Electric company during last
nigms ireezing rainstorm, row-
er was off in many parts of
Portland during tne dinner hour.
Falling trees blocked Portland
streets and many rural roads in
the area.
An above-'freezing rain turned
streets to slush In most of the
city by mid-morning, but the
northeast part of Portland still
was ice-sheathed under Influence
of Columbia gorge winds.
five small buildings in the
Dallas area have gone down In
rpcent days, the latest a 20 by
100-foot shed at the Dallas plan

power failed and pumps quit.
The water reached from the stage

Throughout the Dallas area
there were numerous power fail

bi-partisan foreign policy.
May Affect Europe Also
The uprising, which came on
the first bill the House has acted
on this session, could have wide
spread results.
Some lawmakers said it threat
ens the European Recovery pro
also cast doubt on President Tru
man's "point four" program for
developing the world's backward
areas.
Some thought the vote reflect
ed the current economy talk In
Congress, but Rep. Martin (R
Mass), the Republican leader,
said he thought the emphasis was
on "resentment at the adminis
tration's abandonment of China
and Formosa."
"The sentiment seemed to be
that he would build up the econ
omy of a country for the Commu
nists to walk in," he told a re
porter. "I believe there's strong sym
pathy for Korea, but the mem
bers felt it would be futile to do
anything under present condi
tions." In Korea, the republic's presi
dent, Syngman Rhee, said the ac
tion "comes as a surprise al
most a shock."
The Moscow radio broadcast
that the "United democratic pa
triotic front" of Communist-dom
inated North Korea was urging
all Koreans to "intensify their
struggle" against Rhee, and to
fight to unify the country.
Confidence Lack Shown
State department officials who
didn't want to be quoted by .lame
said the congressional action will
be reflected by new uncertainty
in the Orient about American in
tentions. It will hamper efforts, they
added, to convince the nations
bordering on Communist China
that they must ward off Red ad
vances. Rep. Vorys (ROhio), who led
the fight against the Korean
measure, told reporters:
"This vole shows a resounding
lack of confidence in the admin
istration's Far Eastern policies
and in its spending program. It
shows we need more sense in
our foreign policies and in our
budget from now on."
SEOUL, Jan. 20 UP) President
Syngman Rhee said today he wa3
confident the United States will
continue economic aid to Korea.
Korea is the "only country in
Asia today which is determined
ly, wholeheartedly ind daily
fighting off" Communism, Rhee
said.
He added that despite the
"most unexpected defeat" by the
House of the ECA enabling act,
he was confident the United
States "upon further and more
careful reflection will not fall to
grant Korea this aid which is
most essential for the develop
ment of a sound domestic econ
omy." U.S. Aid Director Arthur C.
Bunce expressed the hope Wash
ington will "discover possible
new ways to provide the assist
ance Korea needs,"

railment caused by a tree across
the track in the vicinity of Rice
Hill, Tom McCarry, freight and
passenger agent, reported,
McCarry said traffic over the
line is normal today, although a
coupie 01 trains ran late during
the night. Considerable difficulty
was experienced in removing the
tree from the track and getting

United States Nearing
Break With Bulgaria
(Continued from page One)
Bulgaria and ask for the recall
of the Bulgarian diplomatic mis
sion from the United States."
Those threatened actions of the
American ffovernmest would con.
stitute a break of diplomatic
relations.
The Bulgarian note of Jan. 19
was the demand for Heath's
recall.
Dispute of Long Standing
Bulgaria and the U.S. have
been at odds since the Sofia gov
ernment sprang up behind the
Iron Curtain In early postwar
days. The U.S. has backed sev
eral charges in the United Na
tions that Bulgaria gave haven
and support to guerrilla forces
warring against Greece.
The United States and Britain
have charged that Bulgaria, Ro
mania and Hungary have violat
ed their peace treaty guarntecs
of fundamental human rights
Bulgaria said last night the In
ternational court of justice at the
Hague was not empowered to
delve into these charges. Roman
ia and Hungary already have
taken a similar position.
Bulgarian treatment of Heath,
a career diplomat from Topeka,
Kansas, brought U.S.-Bulgarian
relations dangerously near to
breaking late last year.
Heath's name was mentioned
in the treason trial at Sofia of
former Bulgarian Deputy Premi
er Kostov. Kostov was hanged
after being found guilty of con
spiring with America, British and
Yugoslavian representatives to
make Bulgaria a vassal of Yu
goslavia. The Indictment for the trial
quoted Kostov as having said in
a pre-trial confession that Heath
had told him in 1947 that the
Americans had an agreement
with Yugoslav Premier Marshal
Tito. Heath has denied he ever
met Kostov.
Indignities Follow
Bulgarian newspapers began a
a bitter campaign against Heath.
The U.S. fired a hot note that
carried an implied threat to
break off diplomatic relations.
Undersecretary of State Webb
charged that American legation
officials had been subjected to
indignities, restrictions and false
charges.
In his statement, Webb ques
tioned "the Bulgarian govern
ment's intentions with the re
spect to the maintenance of nor
mal relations Detween me two
countries."
Bulgaria responded by object
ing to the "very strong lan
guage" of the United States note.
Strained relations between Bul
garia and Yugoslavia also grew
worse yesterday. The Bulgarian
government demanded that Yu
goslav ambassador DJerdja and
two other Belgrade diplomats
leave Sofia.
At the same time, Sofia sent a
note to Tito's government charg
ing that its officials had taken
part in a revolt against Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian press depart
ment announced that Yugoslav
spies had been seized in Sofia
and Would be tried before a Bul
garian court
The note to Yugoslavia said
the Kostov trial had proved that
