A four-vear extension of the draft combined with the new National Reserve Plan. 2. Selective military pay in crease averaging about 6.7 per cent. Congressmen and senators who will handle the legislature in committee predicted little difficulty over extending the draft, now due to expire June 30. Legislators generally agreed with the President that there is no other way to maintain mili tary forces sizeable enough for the period of "uneasy peace ahead. But many congressmen, tradi tionaUy ' opposed to anything smacking of UMT, cast a hostile eye on the reserve program, par ticular! v on its two kev iea- tures. They call for compulsory reserve duty after active service and the training of 100,000 youths annually for six months basic training followed by a 9V years reserve duty.

One influential congressional leader said that Vinson's action would be "virtually a kiss of death" for the reserve plan. Parakeet Purchase Warning Repeated The importance of purchasing parakeets and other similar birds only from recognized deal ers was stressed again today by officials of the Jackson county health department. "There is no cause to worry about contacting psittacosis if you purchase a bird from a rec ognized dealer," they said. They pointed out that these dealers, and local growers, "have been abiding very well by the re quirements." A report from the Oregon State Board of Health for the week ending Dec. 25, 1954, showed five cases of psittacosis in the United States, with one of them in the state of Wash ington. The Washington case was as sociated witn a parakeet sup plied by a man previously ar rested in Oregon for illegal im portation of parakeets, the re port said. Local health authori ties particularly warned against purchasing birds from transient door-to-door dealers.

'' The three pine firms were Ohio Match, R. D. Lumber and Atlas Tie Company, all of Coeur d'Alene, Ida., employing a total of 1000 men. The raise is retro active to Jan. 1 and extends to April 1, 1956.

Requests for programs from libraries and educational insti tutions, not only in the United States but in many foreign coun tries, are . multiplying, and the supply in the festival collection is exhausted. From England Last week brought requests' from the Memorial Library in Strafford-on-Avon and the Bir mingham, England, library, for complete collections, as well as from the New York Public Li brary and the State library in Salem. Programs printed before 1950 are exceedingly rare, the gen eral manager noted, and the only way to satisfy these re quests is to have individuals do nate programs which they may have tucked among their keep sakes. Only outstanding libraries and institutions will get the rare publications, Patton said, but the festival association would appreciate any spare programs which can be rounded up.
