The new reorganization plan was announced Saturday as a last-minute concession to the National Governors Conference before it withdrew its collective resistance to the guard reor ganization. Some individual states still may veto the changes. For the first time, the new plan includes the guard divi sions in a system called "ROAD" (Reorganization Objectives for Army Divisions) which is also being applied to regular troops. All divisions, both regular and guard, are to be given mis sions for fighting in Europe, Asia or other parts of the world. If the plan is fully carried out, guard infantry divisions as signed to Europe will be con verted into mechanized outfits. This will mean three tank bat talions instead of two, and will substitute seven mechanized battalions for the present infan try units. The Army said the staff reor ganization, but not the deliv eries of new equipment, will be completed in time for this sum mer's training camp sessions in states where the governors grant their approval. The high-priority divisions have not yet been designated, but they are expected to be in Massachusetts, P e n n sylvania. New Jersey, North Carolina, Minnesota, and Tennessee.

(AP Wlrephoto) Katherine Shorey, chief librarian of the Martin Memorial Library in York, Pa., has touched off a contro versy by banning all junior and sen ior high school students from the library. Her reason: they socialize instead of studying and sometimes get rowdy. The library board will meet Thursday to discuss the controversy. 32 Christians Asked why children generally were taken from their homes in the face of parents' objections, she answered: I can't tell you anything aDout this. The peasants, six men, 12 women and 14 children, pushed their way into the U.S. Embassy compound last Thursday and claimed local officials in Cher nogorsk persecuted them be cause -they were "Evangelical Christians." They said they wanted to go to "Israel or any other nation" where they would be free to practice their religion. Four hours later, protesting that they would be shot, im prisoned or separated from their children, the group was taken away in a bus by Soviet officials. t tugene, SET SAIL FOR YOUR officials.

Truman, who wants the battleship Missouri moved, says "if Eisenhower wanted to place it in a closet he couldn't have found a better place than the Bremerton Navy Yard." Truman's latest criticism of Former President Dwight D Eisenhower came in a letter published Tuesday by the Se attle Post-Intelligencer. At Palm Desert, Calif., where Eisenhower is vacationing, his secretary said he would not comment. Felly Disagrees Rep. Thomas Pelly, R-Wash., said in Washington: "I don't believe President Ei senhower had anything to do with placing the Missouri in Bremerton." The Missouri, christened in 1944 by Truman's daughter Mar garet, has been at the Pugct Sound Naval Shipyard in Brem erton since 1954. It's in the so called moth-ball fleet. There has been talk recently of moving it to San Francisco, New Orleans, St. Louis or Brooklyn. The Navy says it has made no decision. Favors Brooklyn Truman told the P-I the ves sel draws too much water to steam up the Mississippi to St. Louis. He said he would rather see it in Brooklyn than San Francisco, because it was chris tened at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. As for Bremerton, he said: "It seems to me the Battle ship Missouri has been put as far away from the public to see as it could possibly be. Said Pelly: "The ship should n't be transferred because of an antagonism Truman apparently has because he thinks Eisen hower placed it in Bremerton." "He never did particularly warm up to Ike," Pelly added. FUN TONIGHT!

The printers' chief negotiator, Bertram A. Powers, president of Local 6. International Typo graphical Union, AFL-CIO, said he would not attend meetings of the so-called "board of pub lic accountability" unless the union approves. The question will be present ed to the union membership at a meeting Sunday.

In Cleveland, Ohio, the mayor called for a meeting Tuesday between publishers and two( striking unions to try to bring light to a 40-day blackout of the two daily newspapers there.'. Negotiations in Cleveland, were bogged down. The AFL CIO Cleveland Newspaper Guild and the independent Teamsters Union struck the Plain Dealer and the Press & News. Chief issues are the Guild's demands for union security and the Teamsters' insistence on im proved wages and working con ditions. Advisory Only In New York, the mission of the board of jurists was describ ed as advisory only. The board was not empowered to pass judgment on wages and other strike issues. The publishers said they would cooperate with the board. Powers said members of Lo cal 6 will meet Sunday to de cide whether the printers will go along with the fact-finding study. ; He also announced he ha asked U. S. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy to look into an agreement among publishers of the nine closed newspapers that a strike against one was a strike, against all. ' The printers last Dec. 8 struck the Times, Daily News, Journal American and World-Telegram: & the Sun. The city's five other, major dailies the Post, Herald Tribune, Mirror, Long Island Press and Long Island Star Journal then cancelled further publication, except that the Press continues to print non-. city editions for suburban Long Island.
