Seo and ilrivo Rambler - 9286 Draft-Dodging Quip by Wilson Stirs Up Guard General Calls Defense Chief's Statement A 'Damn Lie' By EDMOND LE B6ETON WASHINGTON UH A congres sional supporter of the National Guard said today he thinks it may get a boost from Secretary of Defense Wilson's remark about "draft dodging" in the Guard. Moj. Gen. Ellard A. Wilsao called the statement a "damn lie." Wilson, president ol the National Guard Assn., told newsmen that many Guard units had served val iantly in Korea and that "not one of these young men was a draft dodger" since none was old enough for the draft when he en listed. The defense secretary said the National Guard now is not "a draft dodging proposition." He was testifying before the House Armed Services Committee. 1 Rep. Charles E. Bennett (D iFIa), a member of the committee, Uaid he Ihinks the episode will -1 help the Guard in its fight against r. Dn,n I -., a 1 umayuii uiuur uim an new Army guardsmen must take six months active duty training. The Guard, fearing 'that is recruiting will full away, wants instead 0 train its men in shorter periods that can fit info school vacations. Bennett said Wilson's remark should clarify (he issue because it "reveals a misunderstanding deep in the Department ot Defense as to the ability of the National Guard lo handle part of this train ing In its own program in fact. it shows a deep misunderstanding 01 (jiiara accomplishments in the pas!. The Guard issue had already beer set lor study hv an Armed Services subcommitlcc next week. Rcnnctt said he thinks suppor ters of he Guard point of view will now be in strong position to argue that "the Department of Defense should reappraise the sit uation." Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of lexas, the Senate Democratic leader, suggested that Wilson apologize for his statement, say ing it "casts a cloud upon all Americans who have served in the National Guard at great personal sacrifice."

Wilson Won't Apologize f of WASHINGTON w Secretary of Defense Wilson said Tuesday he sees no reason why he should apologize for his assertion that "a sort of scandal. . . a draft dodging business" developed in National Guard enlistments dur ing the Korea War, Talking wilh newsmen at the White House after a conference with President Eisenhower, Wil son refused to back down on his statement of Monday. In effect, he repeated the charge.. In reply lo e question "Wilson said he did not discuss the mai ler with the President.

Loading Zone Question Still Not Deckled The Courl apartments, located at Court and Cottage streets, arc going to be without a loading zone lor another two weeas at least. The city council voted Mondav lo have a study made of the toad ing zone situation in the block of Cottage street between Court and Chemeketa. Owners of the aoartment had claimed that a loading zone on Cottage street used by tradesmen had disappeared and that a park ing meter naa tasen its place. At a council meeting two weeks ago a request was made that Ihe meter be removed and the loading zone designated. The council, be lieving that if was a request for a loading zone, turned down the idea. At the meeting Monday Ihe council decided lo reconsider the question but efforts to make a change at the meeting were with drawn when it appeared evident that the request would be rejected if there was not a study of the parking situation on the entire block.
