There have been so many stabs
at universal military training both
before and after the second world
war that the public is inclined to
shrug off a fresh proposal. Another
one is in the making however, and
its principal provisions were un
wrapped by John A. Hannah, as
sistant secretary of defense, last
week. Having heard Dr. Hannah at
the Editors' conference last week,
the writer is aware of the great
problem Defense faces in trying to
provide the armed services with
the necessary manpower at a
minimum of cost. The turnover of
personnel is expensive. Inductees
are required to serve only two
years and it hardly pays to train
them for the highly skilled jobs
which are now numerous in all
branches of the service.
The program which is being
whipped into shape provides these
requirements, according to Dr.
Hannah:
1. Youths within the 18-26 year
bracket now subject to two years'
service would take only six
months of active duty. Thereafter
they wuuld be required to attend
regular drills and active training
in reserve units, including the Na
tional Guard.
2. Men completing two years or
more of active service would at
tend regular National Guard train
ing for most of the eiht years of
service which is now obligation
but not enforced.

He said their situation was "ex

Monday are: Montgomery. Ala.;

The vaccine to be used will be
the manufactured version of a
vaccine originally developed by
Dr. Jonas Salk in his laboratories
at the University of Pittsburgh.
The actual commencement of the
trials, which may ultimately in
volve the vaccination of more than
a half - million children, was
okayed by a group of experts after
final two-day appraisal of the vac
cine's safety.
The group constituted a "vac
cine advisory committee" to the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis (NFIP), sponsors of the
tests.
Until the committee announced
its decision, late Sunday afternoon,
that the vaccine was considered
safe for use in the tests, it still
had been an open question
whether the vaccination program
would be started as planned
even though the first shipments
of the material already had been
slated to take part.

May Aid
French
By JACK SMITH
LONDON OP Prime Minister
Churchill met with his top min
isters in an atmosphere of crisis
Sunday and they-were reported to
have considered lending military'
support to save embattled Indo
china from the Reds.
Best information indicated that
the idea of sending troops and
planes was shelved, at least temp
orarily, in favor of other ways
of helping France to victory in
the Indochina War.
Reports circulated (hat Britain
may send more troops and planes
to Malaya, an easy springboard to
ward the battlefronts. Britain
might also parade its naval might
along the Indochinese coast, as
the United States has done.
Show of Force
Shows of force of this kind would
be aimed at bolstering morale in
Indochina and stiffening the backs
of the French themselves, many
of whom want to make big con
cessions to get a negotiated peace.
Britain, like the United States,
considers that politial concessions
would give the Communists enough
ol a foothold so they could eventu
ally swallow up the country.
A crowd of several hundred
jammed the pavement outside No.
10 Downing Street, Churchill's of
ficial residence, while ministers,
chiefs of staff and foreign diplo
mats arrived and departed in
scenes recalling the crisis davs of
World War II.

The 79-year-old Prime Minister
held two emergency conferences

F.den unexpectedly flew back from
Paris late Saturday night and
drove to Chequers, Churchill's
country home, for midnight talks.
Eden had just conferred with
U.S. Secretary of State John Fost
er Dulles and French Foreign
Minister Georges Bidault m prep
aration for the Geneva conferenc
on Indochina and Korea opening
Monday. Eden flew back to Paris
in an RAF plane Sunday night,
making only a noncommittal

Bidault Asks
U.S. for New
Type War Aid
PARIS (J) French Foreign
Minister Georges Bidault implied
Sunday night that France has
asked the United States and Bri
tain for some new type of war aid
"because of the critical situation"
in Indochina.
In the midst of rumors and de
nials of French calls for extra
U.S. help for defenders of Dien
Bien Phu, Bidault said: "I'll do
everything in my power to bring
aid to those fighting in Indochina."
Questioned about a report pub
lished in the United States that
France had asked the United States
for massive aid in the form of
American planes with American
pilots, Bidault said:
"You understand that because
of the critical situation wherein the
defenders of Dien Bien Phu find
themselves, everything should be
tried to bring them aid."
This was a clear indication that
some sort of aid had been asked
of Britain and the United States
in the conference of Big Three min
isters Saturday.
This did not necessarily conflict
with a statement from the office
of Premier Joseph Laniel that
there was "nothing which would
permit confirmation' of the report
that France had asked for direct,
large-scale American aid in' the
form of U.S. planes and pilots.
Bidault talked for 15 minutes
with British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden who stopped here
while en route to Geneva by plane.

The quake's several sharp jolts
were felt for nearly a minute, over
a large area extending 90 miles
north to the San Francisco Bay
region. A slight aftershock was
felt 45 minutes later.
Walls Cracked
The tremors apparently were
strongest around th cities of Wat
sonville, Gilroy and Hollister,
where many cases of broken win
dows, cracked walls, falling bottles
and dishes were reported. This is
where the Hayward and San An
dreas faults source of many past
quakes converge.
Watsonville Police Sgt. J. C.
Brandon said he was informed the
"hiehwav cracked and an arth

hills and joins Highwav 101 a few
miles east.
Hollister, about 100 miles south
of San Francisco, reported plaster
damage to a number of Buildings.
The Whalen drug store reported
ceiling plaster broken. The Holland
Hotel said plaster fell from the
ceiling in the hotel bar and bot
tles were knocked off shelves.
Worst Quake
Sgt. Brandon at Watsonville said
"this is the worst quake I've ever
felt in my life worse than the one
in Santa Barbara when I was liv
ing there several years ago."
He said plaster was badly
cracked in the Watsonville City
Hall and a flagpole snapped off a
building and fell into the street.
Stores reported canned goods
jarred off most of their shelves.
There was quite a bit of con
fusion and a touch of panic among
Watsonville's residents when the
quake hit. People ran into the
streets, many obviously frightened,
seeking information about what ap
parently was the worst quake ever
to hit the area.
Watsonville evidently suffered a
broken water main, for water con
sumption jumped 50 gallons a
minute right after the quake. Wat
er department officials said they
had not yet been able immediate
ly to find the break.
A crack 12 feet long and nearly
an inch wide, extending upward
from the sidewalk, was opened in
the granite wall of the Bank of
America building on Watsonville's

The nearby towns of Pajaro and
Aromas reported electricity off.
