Fagone Claims "Any young man that was a 'draft dodger' during the Korean war would have been a fool to join the National Guard," Capt. S. J. Fagone, company com mander of Headquarters com pany, 1st Battalion, 186th infan try regiment of the Oregon Na tional Guard, Medford, said to day. Fagone answered charges made by Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson that "some young men used the National Guard as a 'draft dodging busi ness' during the Korean war.'' He made clear this was only his opinion and not Oregon National Guard policy, in a statement made at the request of The Mail Tribune. On Call The company commander ex plained when a youth joins the National Guard he is subject to active duty on call of the Presi dent, congress or governor in any emergency, such as the Korean war. "A kid that joins the National Guard between 17 and 18Vi is not eligible for the draft any way," Fagone . said. According to law young men cannot be drafted until they are at least 19, which is "scraping the bot tom of the barrel," he added. He said he doubted if any other Guard units in the coun try were used for "draft dodg ing" either. Those in the Guard had no r 1 USSY SALE OX CLEANSING CREAMS i.nd SKIN LOTIONS T7 BtAUIT St I rUK DRY SKIN TUSSY EMULSIFIED C1EANSINO CREAM freah your skin to gentle deep cleaning tfiof i euro thorough, itra soothing.

A young man in many cases would have stood a better chance in remaining out of the Korean fighting by not enlisting in a Guard unit at all, he said. Receive Ratings Answering . Wilson's charge that the National Guard is in efficient and not properly trained, Fagone said the so called "draft dodgers" in his company have received three consecutive "superiors" for training at summer camp and three consecutive "excellents" for federal inspections, which were scores based on compara tive analysis with the regular Army. Fagone denied Wilson's state ment that more than 80 per cent of National Guardsmen have had no prior military training. "Wil son just didn't have the facts straight," he said. Only about 60 per cent of Headquarters company falls in that category, he added. Fagone said he thought the National Guard was too strong to be hurt by Wilson's remarks. "If anything," he added, "they will boost the Guard's morale." Fagone pointed out that dur ing the Korean conflict about six National Guard divisions were activated, bringing about about 200,000 National Guards men into action. Headquarters company re mained in Medford during the Korean war, he said, but was one of the first National Guard units to be activated in World War II.
