PAGE FOUR - Markets STOCKS WALL STREET wir.w vnnw Ifl Aircrafts. rails and selected copper mining securities cllmDea in an otnerwwc mixed stock market Tuesday.Vol ume was heavy, approaching three million shares.

US Reserve Plying WASHINGTON 11 Secretary of Defense Wilson said Tuesday the military reserve situation "would be a scandal and very dis turbing to the American people" If the nation had to go to war ' now. Wilson said also lhat the admin istration has approved "In a broad sense" the principle of a reserve program based on compulsory service. "Proposed plnns are sub. Ject to modification and improve ments," he said. The secretary made his state' mcnts at a Pentagon news con ference at which he was asked for comment on published stories about the new military service plan as outlined by outgoing Asst. Defense Secretary John A. Han nah. "I don't think any particular harm was done by the stories," Wilson said. lie commented that publication of the reserve proposals had "stirred up the country", but that it is time the American people take a close, realistic look at what it wants to do about getting the maximum potential defense with in the nation's means to pay for it. Wilson said the plan as outlined by Hannah 'Was prepared at the Defense Department after consul tation with the Office of Defense Mobilization and that It had been presented to the National Security Council. It was at this point that Wilson said "in a broad sense its prin ciples have been approved." Wilson's remarks were general ly in line with word from the White House that the administra tion still has a Universal military manpower plan under study but hasn t reached agreement on all details. The main points made by Han nah, in published stories Sundav morning, were that some form of compulsion is necessary to build up and maintain a ready-to-flght reserve, and teeth must be put into existing laws to force young men to go Into organized reserve units after their tours of regular military duty.

Milk Control Law Ruled On SALEM lifl Sponsors of the initiative measure to repeal the state milk control law must supply more complete information about their campaign expenses before the measure can appear on the No vember general election ballot, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton ruled Tuesday. Thornton made his ruling for Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, who had received a complaint from State Sen. Warren McMlni mee of Tillamook that the state ment of expenses In getting signa tures for the initiative was incom plete. Tile Initiative was circulated by Elmer Deetz, Canby dairyman. Thornton said that Deetz "com plied with the spirit of the law but did not comply with the letter of the statute." The expense statement failed to comply with the law because it did not contain the names and addresses of every person who re ceived money In the campaign for signatures. Thornton ruled that the sponsors "may be permitted to file without delay an amended statement in or der to supply the necessary item ization and to show the legality of the disbursements set forth in the original statement." Thornton added that there must be compliance with the law before Nmvbry prepares the official ballot. The statement shows expenses of $6.'i93. It includes a $2,677 item for meals, hotels and transportation for volunteer circulators, but does not say who got the money.

Budenz alleged in testimony be fore the Subversive Activities Con trol Board in Washington last year. The Subversive Activities Control Board questioned Dr. Perry, pro fessor emeritus of philosophy, In a hearing Monday to determine whether the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship should be required to register as a Red front. Budenz had quoted Jack Stachel, a Communist Party leader now in Jail, as telling him In 1945 that Dr. Perry was "a loyal adherent of the Communist Party." Dr. Perry told the board he re signed as vice chairman of that organization in 1943 because he was unable to attend meetings and take part in policy statements. However, he thought his name was continued on the sponsor list after the group was declared subversive by the attorney general. He said the attorney general's listing of the organization as sub versive '"made some difference, but was not decisive and was not regarded by me as sufficient grounds for withdrawing my spon sorship. The Harvard Professor, winner of a Pulitzer prize for his biog raphy of William James, said he did not know the officials of the council were Communists. He said that if he had known the council was dominated by the Communist Party, he would not have associat ed with it. OBITUARY ALLEN John A. Allen. 43. a resident of Yuma. Arizona died at Tulelake.
