Mundt (R-SDI said today Secretary of Defense Wilson is "doing a good job" and should be judged on his performance not by what Mundt called his "mistaken" remarks. Mundt's defense of Wilson came after the cabinet member denied any intention of reflecting on in dividuals when he said last Mon day there was a "sort of scandal" involved when some young men enlisted in the National Guard during the Korean War and avoid ed combat service. The defense secretary said "our criticism is not of the guardsmen" but of a training system which he said is inadequate. Wilson said in a statement last night "it cannot be denied that the lot of those who entered the Na tional Guard and were not mo bilized was easier than that of the young men who were inducted by Selective Service or who volun teered for the active .forces" dur ing the Korean fighting. At the same time, he acknowl edged the "great contribution" he said had been made by National Guard units which wore called Lutheran Council Calls for Backing of By GEORGE W. CORNELL ATLANTIC CITY.

K But in issuing this statement, Wilson die not retract the remark that President Eisenhower has called 'unwise." That remark has aroused heavy criticism in Con gress and among National Guard leaders. Wilson made the remark before the House Armed Services Committee. He said he was putting out the statement "to avoid any further misunderstanding and ' to clarify the position" of the Defense De partment and himself regarding the guard. . - Wilson and his wife planned to fly to Florida today to begin a two-week vacation. When he re turns, he may undergo rigorous questioning on his views about the Guard. Chairman Brooks (D-La) of a House Armed Services sub committee said yesterday he had been informed Wilson would oc- cept an invitation to testify be fore the group at that time.

The National Guard favors ah 11-wcek course of training that could be fitted into school vacatitns. - Public Schools the council said parochial schools have a "legitimate place" in .the overall education picture and are needed under certain circum stances." But the council said it was dis turbed by "situations where inter est in parochial schools had led lo indifference and even opposi tion to adequate provision for public school needs." The council urged that public schools be up held as the "chief instrument of general education for children.'
