Extend Service
For Enlisted Men
. Washington U.PJ The gov
ernment Saturday added nine
months to the terms of service
for about 125,000 enlisted men
In the Armed Forces.
The Department of Defense
aid the move was "absolutely
necessary in the light of the
serious international situation"
In order to keep experienced
men in uniform to train recruits.
All Enlisted Personnel
With President Truman's ap
proval, the department ordered
service expiration dates moved
ahead nine months for all en
listed personnel scheduled to
leave the various military
branches between July 1, 1952,
'jnd June 30, 1953.
The order does not affect pres
ent maximum authorized active
duty tours of reservists and na
tional guardsmen, nor does it
have any bearing on the pro
grams for separating these per
sonnel from the services. Neither
does it affect draftees.
A Pentagon source estimated
125,000 servicemen would be af
fected 60,000 in the Army, 25,
000 in the Air Force, 3,000 in
the Marine Corps, and 35,000
In the Navy.
Third Extension
It was the third extension of
enlistment terms in three years.
Acheson Accuses
Russia of Opening
Phony Peace Move
Washington 4U.R) Secretary
of State Dean Acheson accused
' Russia Saturday of tossing
"golden apples of discord" over
the Iron Curtain this spring in
an effort to start a ruckus among
free nations and put over a
phony peace offensive.
, Speaking to the annual con
tention of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors, he assert
ed the Kremlin's tactics of ob
struction, hate and force would
fail because "we have arrived at
a climactic moment In the de
velopment of the community of
free nations."
He sternly advised the editors
that It would be a mistake to
view recent Soviet moves as a
"peace offensive." Then he dip
ped into Greek mythology and
(aid a more apt name "might be
the 'golden apple' tactic."
Will Resolve Friction
Acheson did not bar Russia
forever from the "wedding
party." He said firmly that "we
are willing and eager to resolve
any or all major frictions in the
world by peaceful negotiation,
when and if there appears to be
any honest and reasonable basis
for negotiations."
But "soft music . . . coming out
of Moscow about peaceful co
existence, peaceful trade and
German unity . . . would be more
persuasive if the Soviet propa
gandists were not at the same
time, out of the other side of
their mouths, engaged in one of
the most vicious and savage epi
sodes in their hate campaign
against the West," Acheson said.
That, he said, is the "trumDed
up" and "monstrous' charge that
the United Nations is waging
i germ wariare in rorea. ne noiea
lt had been authoritatively de
nied many times and said, "I
deny it again here."
Softer Policies
Seen for Pilots
Washington (U.P.) An Air
Force spokesman late Saturday
said Air Force Secretary Thomas
K. Finlettcr is expected to issue
a policy statement some time
next week taking a softer tone
toward recalled reserve officer
pilots who have refused to fly.
So far, one man has been
court-martialed at Biggs Air
Force base in El Paso, Tex., for
refusing to fly. He got a two
year prison sentence and was
ordered dismissed from the ser
vice. There have been six other
"sit-down" strike pilots at Ran
dolph Field. Tex., and six at
Mather Field. Calif.
The policy statement is expect
ed to take an easier tone toward
pilots who have refused to fly
berause of fear of flying, fear
for their families, or age or per
sonal hardship. 1
A spokesman said Fmlettcr
has taken a personal interest
wi the situation of the reserve
vhicers who have refused to fly
and has kept fully informed on
the problem.
Similar orders were issued In
1950 and 1051.
By law, no enlisted person
may be held in uniform through
more than one extension, so this
order will have no influence up
on those affected by either of
the earlier two.
The new regulation does, how
ever, cover alike enlisted per
sonnel, whether on active or in
active duty, whose original tours
would have ended in the speci
fied period.
Hail Prevention
Contractors Make
Saturday Flight
The second cloud - seeding
flight for the prevention of hail
made in the Rogue valley this
season took place yesterday
morning, it was reported by the
seeding contractors, Harvey
Brandau and Eugene Kooser.
The AT6 plane operated by the
firm was engaged in actual seed
ing for less than 10 minutes.
Kooser reported, and the total
flight time was 82 minutes in
two flights. Areas seeded were
along the western hills, the area
around Gold Hill, and east and
north of Medford toward the
Tiller-Trail area. .
To Prevent Snow Pellets
The flights were for the pur
pose of preventing the formation
of snow pellets, which in turn
frequently turn to hail, Kooser
said. The seeding is done in an
attempt to force the pellets to
fall as snow or rain. The flight
generally was successful in this,
he added, and some snow and
rain fell after the flights, and
little if any hail was noted.
On Friday Kooser made an ob
servation flight in the P-40 plane
operated by the fliers, but did
no seeding as conditions in the
valley were not threatening, al
though hail fell on Sexton moun
tain. Saturday morning, after the
seeding flights, another P-40
flight was made to test the plane,
Kooser said.
Throat Infection
Delays Ike's Trip
Paris (U.R Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower was confined to his
bed Saturday night with a throat
infection and fever that delayed
the remainder of his farewell
tour of Atlantic Pact, capitols
"for at least 24 hours and prob
ably longer."
A spokesman at supreme head
quarters emphasized there is
"nothing serious" about the gen
eral's condition and that Eisen
hower was able to confer earlier
Saturday with Republican Na
tional Committeeman Arthur
Summerfield of Michigan.
The spokesman said the gen
eral's illness was causing him
discomfort but no alarm.
Eisenhower had planned to
fly to Oslo today, stay there
until Tuesday morning, fly to
Copenhagen for a day and then
to the Hague before returning
to Paris.
It was the second postpone
ment of the trip. The death this
week of French Maj. Gen Henri
Coudraux, SHAPE supply chief,
forced the general to eliminate
his visit to the Hague planned
for last Thursday.
NJ Prison Rioters Release
Hostage; Mutiny Continues
Rahway. N. J (U.R) One of
nine hostages held for three days
by 231 rioting convicts at the
New Jersey state prison farm
was released Saturday because
of illness and told authorities
the men had vowed to continue
their mutiny.
The hostage was released at
about 5 p.m. and an hour later
convicts in other sections of the
prison began shouting and pound
ing on their cell bars with tin
cups and plates.
Demonstration Latti Hour
The men demonstrated for
more than an hour, shouting the
name "Bates" frequently. They
were referring to Sanford Bates,
state commissioner of institu
tions. The convicts let Marlin Dunn,
Trenton, a trainee guard, through
their barricade made of broken
furniture and mattresses and he
was taken to the prison infirm
ary. Dunn said the eight other hos
tages being held in a second
floor dormitory were well and
had not been mistreated.

Union Calls Off
Pickets As Phone
Strike Breaks Up
California Employees ,
Still Out on Strike
New York (U.R) The CIO
Communications Workers o f
America called off picket lines
in 43 states and the District of
Columbia Saturday, breaking up
the 12-day old nationwide tele
phone walkout.
Western Eelectric and CWA
District 10, representing 10,000
installation workers, reached an
agreement early Saturday pro
viding for pay increases of 31.1
cents an hour in wage boosts
and fringe benefits.
Pickett Withdrawn
Telephone operators had re
fused to cross picket lines the
installers threw up at phone ex
changes on a "hit and run" basis,
but the picket lines were being
withdrawn Saturday.
Officials of the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Co., said
telephone service ranged from
"normal" to "almost normal."
Strikes involving some 13,500
other phone workers continued
but had no effect on phone ser
vice in most areas. CWA officials
said they expected the Western
Electric agreement to lead to
quick settlement of the remain
ing walkouts.
' Still on strike were 6,700 em
ployes of the Northern Califor
nia Telephone Co., 5,500 District
11 warehouse workers, 1,200 em
ployes in Bell Laboratories and
workers in Western Electric's
telephone booth service.
Negotiations Continue
Representatives of District 11
and the company negotiated
throughout the day, and the
union presented a new package
proposal to the company. Con
tents of the proposal were not re
vealed. The installers' walkout that
began April 7 was the most criti
cal nationally, and at one time
an estimated 300,000 telephone
workers wert idled in hundreds
of towns and cities.
' San Francisco (U,R) Hopes
for a possible settlement soon
in the 13-day-old northern Cali
fornia and Nevada telephone
strike rose to new heights Sat
urday. "
Details of the recommended
peace proposal submitted for
study to each side Saturday were
not revealed. But a union negoti
ator said, "This looks like it."
Solon Wants Inquiry
On Hiring of Morris
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Kenneth B. Keating Saturday
demanded an inquiry to deter
mine whether the Justice de
partment planned to threaten
Newbold Morris with prosecu
tion if the ousted corruption
cleanup boss became too zealous
in his job.
Keating ii a member of the
House subcommittee investiga
ting the Justice department.
Morris was fired by Attorney
General J. Howard McGrath
who also was promptly fired by
President Truman.
"It is essential for us to deter
mine whether a man was select

corruption drive who was him
self at that very time the object
of intensive investigation by the
Department of Justice in which
he was appointed to a high post,"
the New York Republican said
in a statement.
tried to break the riot by turning
down the mutineers' pleas for
drinking water, and Dunn said
the men were getting quite
thirsty, although they had
enough to eat. He said they had
been saving up food packages
that had been sent from home.
Temperature Rise io 80
The strikers, jammed in the
dormitory, ignored demands to
halt their demonstration. The
temperature outdoors rose to
about 80 degrees during the day,
and the men and their hostages
were crowded in a room that
normally accommodates 170 to
180 convicts.
The rioters hung ' two new
sheets with messages painted on
them out of the dormitory wing
where they are holed up. One
sheet said "we want Drew Pear
son or Robert Montgomery to
mediate" and the other said "of
ficers refuse to eat or drink
unless we do." The latter sign
apparently referred to the eight
guards still held as hostages in
the wing. Flares were dropped
when the new messages appeared.

Warnings Issued on
Illegal Shooting
The sheriff's office Saturday
issued a warning concerning il
legality of shooting firearms in
congested areas.
The warning followed investi
gation of a report that a colt,
pastured on land south of the
IOOF cemetery and west of Sis
kiyou Memorial park, had been
wounded so seriously that it had
to be -done away with.
Sheriff's officers said that a
Palomino mare and two colts
were pastured on property rent
ed by Tony Boitano and used
by M. L. "Red" Robinson, 44
Eastwood drive. The colts were
owned by Robinson and the mare
by his daughter, Mrs. Betty Bani
ken, Ellendale drive.
Colt Hit by BB
Youngsters of the neighbor
hood had been breaking into the
pasture, had been riding the
colts, which was bad for the ani
mals, and had been shooting
BB's, the officers were informed.
Last week a pellet hit one of the
colts and the animal developed
lockjaw.
It was reported that two Ju
veniles have admitted shooting
a gun in the pasture.
Sheriff's officers stated that
the penalty for injuring animals
is not less than six months nor
more than three years in the
state penitentiary, or not less
than three months nor more than
a year in the county jail, or
fine of not less than $50 nor
more than $1,000.
Union Charges 'Deal'
In Telegraph Strike
Washington !U.R! A F L un
ion leaders Saturday charged
that Western Union made a
"deal" with a left-wing union to
"help break" the nationwide tele
graph strike and asked Congress
to investigate.
In New York, a Western Un
ion spokesman denied that any
such "deal" had been made. He
added that the company was
forced to deal with the left-wing
union because the organization
was certified by the National
Labor Relations Board to rep
resent Western Union cable em
ployees. He said that the com
pany has petitioned Congress for
legislation to relieve its "en
forced association" with the
union.

Split by Attack
Against Sweefland
W. J. Pearson Charges
Harmony "Impossible"
Roseburg U.R) Oregon state
emocratic politics were "split"
at the state level Saturday after
State Treasurer Walter J. Pear
son angrily attacked Monroe
Sweetland, the party's national
committeeman, during a Jefferson-Jackson
day dinner here Fri

Sweetland Present
About 80 Democrats, including
Sweetland, were present in the
Evergreen Grange hall to hear
Pearson as the main speaker
charge that harmony had been
"impossible" during the past
four years because of the
"Sweetland group."
Pearson asserted that the
group was made up not only of
Democrats but also of some left
wing Republicans and "quite a
few Socialists."
"It is my opinion that as long
as the Democrats of this state
continue to allow this small ma
jority to influence our political
fortunes in this state, we will
nof elect many qualified candi
dates." Issues Statement
Sweetland made no comment
during'the attack upon him, but
later issued a statement charging
that Pearson had "clearly align
ed himself with the DeCicco-Mahoney-Granet
disruptive ele
ment in Oregon's Democratic
party."
"His (Pearson's) outburst is
helpful to clear the air so the
Oregon Democrats may choose
their leadership in rank-and-file
voting May 18," Sweetland said.
Sweetland and DeCicco spoke
in Medford last night at a Roose
velt Memorial dinner but made
no, further comment on Pear

President Truman
Set for Showdown
On Defense Costs
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Truman, backed by his mili

a showdown' with the Senate
over the price to be paid to be
prepared for peace or war.
Aroused economy -minded
senators hit back sharply at Mr.
Truman's threat to keep Con
gress in session until it gives
him the money he considers
necessary for defense of the na
tion. Sen, Robert A. Taft, who ii
seeking the Republican nomina
tion, exclaimed that Mr. Truman
"seems to have gone completely
off his head."
"He'll have to take what money
we give him," Taft added, "and
he won't get any more."
House members also hit at
Mr. Truman's threat. Republican
Whip Leslie O. Arenda (111.) said
Congress recognizes the "deadly
peril" of Russia, but the "coun
try's most 'deadly peril' is the
suicidal spending policies advo
cated by President Truman."
Rep. Clarence J. Brown (R.-O.)
said Mr. Truman's warning he
would keep Congress in session
"sounded like one of the tyran
nical outbursts of King George
the Third against the American
colonics."
Mr. Truman warned Thursday
that he would keep Congress In
session until the Senate restores
to the House-slashed defense ap-
Cropriations bill the money he
elieves necessary to continue
