A government arsenal at Frank fort, Pa., which had a 82 age limit for machinists, tool, die and gauge makers, has raised it to 70. The office of defense manpower says a labor shortage is developing and the labor department is plan ning a training program for in dustrial planta to get the akill needed for arms production. The older age brackets, however, offer a large reservoir of already trained ability. The census bureau' reports that 12. J per cent of the men and 13 per cent of the wo men in the country are over 55. There are 11.5 million persons over 65 one out of every IS in the country ami both the number and the percentage is growing. There may be 20 million in that age group by 1980. A bumper crop of the very young is coming along. But the age group on which the military draw, and to which industry normally looks for replacements the 15 to 35 range have been growing very little, if at all. In fact, there are two million less in the 15 to It group than 10 years ago (that was the depression'! short crop of babies). One active campaigner against early retirements is Elmer H. Boust, president of Warner-Hudnut. Inc. He advocates putting persons over 65 on half-time, ralher than retiring them. He aays they will live longer when they have an in terest in life not to mention the easing of the strain on the nation's economy. , The cost of social security, industrial pensions, and the like, mounts steadily as the number of the nation's over 65 age group swells. Bobst thinks many at re tirement age would prefer being self-supporting, and the nation's economy needs their production skills. DEEP-ACTION relief from coughs, chokey stuffiness with every breath!

Hoax Touches Off Brief War Scart In Portland PORTLAND An ap parent hoax touched off a brief war scare in Portland last night. Telephone calls to newspapers and news services came from scores of excited Portlanders after an announcer at a football game asked "all enlisted men and regu lars' to report for duty at once. A few hustled out of the crowd of 12,500 watching a high school football game, before the an nouncer used the public address system again to warn that the first announcement had not been veri fied. It never was verified, but the report spread fast through the city. It was hours before the ru mor was finally laid to rest. Military officials denied they ever had put out such a call. An employe at Multnomah sta dium, where the announcement was made, later disclosed that the announcement had been requested through a telephone call from a man with an impressive voice. He identified himself over the phone as Major A. J. Andrews of west coast security. Military of ficials said they knew of no such person. Oregon Needs A Change !
