2 The Newt-Review, Rjieburj, Senators Revise Bill Affecting GIs , With More Than Three Dependents WASHINGTON B Faced by possible loss of 25,000 seasoned sergeants and corporals, senators backtracked today on a decision to direct the armed forces to discharge all enlisted personnel with more than three dependents. Such a provision was made part of the bill to allow monthly sup port payments to wives, children and parents of enlisted personnel in the armed services which the senate armed services committee approved Thursday. Uniformed officers of the armed services quickly pointed out, how ever, that the provision might cost them as many as 25,000 seasoned non-commissioned officers already on duty some of them in Korea. So the senate committee has de-" cided to revise its bill merely making it the "sense of Congress" that men with more than three de pendents should not be inducted under the draft act if they can show their dependent families might suffer hardship. Actual discharges for hardship of men already on duty who have more than three dependents in cluding national guardsmen and reserves would be left up to secretaries of the army, navy and air force or commanding officers. Allowance Oat Advancad The senate committee made one other change in the bill. Allow ances would date from July 1 shortly after the Korean war started to cover all men called Japan Joins U.N. In Fight Against Communist Peril TOKYO UP) The Japanese government today issued a 3,800 word "white paper" placing Nip pon squarely behind the United Nations in the Korean war as "a measure for our own self-defense." Japan is the major forward staging area for the U. N, Korean effort. The white paper did not specifi cally stale how Japan proposed to assist but said: "To cooperate with the democ racies and assist in strengthening their unity should be considered as nothing less than a measure of our own self-defense." The paper also placed Japan in the western democracies camp in the world struggle against com munism. "The only thing capable of de fending us from the brute force of communism is the strength which comes from the unity of the de mocracies," it said. Japan, it said, is a "vital out post for the United Nations forces." The statement told the Japanese people that Japan has been marked as "a special prize" by the Chinese Communist-Soviet treaty of mutual assistance. Japan, it said, would remain ex posed lo the Communist "war to totalitarianism and commu nism."' But "In case of unprovoked ag gression against Japan, like the one in Korea, we may rest assured that the democracies of the world would join in stretching forth a helping hand, Japanese who still remember the atomic attack on their home land were reassured: "Atomic warfare in which the democratic world would he over whelmingly superior is likely to be ruled out unless the situation reaches the worst possible stage." THE NICEST PEOPLE rely on ui for lerviee. We're proud to many folks like ui and the work we do for them.
