Brownell Will Put
Nat’l Lawyers Guild
On Subversive List
BOSTON, UP)—Atty. Gen. Brown
ell said Thursday he proposed to
put the National Lawyers Guild
—which he described as the legal
mouthpiece for * the Communist
Party — on his list of subversive
organizations.
Brownell made the announce
ment in an address prepared for
the American Bar Association
convention here.
There was no immediate com
ment from the Lawyers Guild.
The attorney general said he
had served notice on the guild of
its proposed inclusion on the list
which the government uses in
checking the affiliations of feder
al workers in relation to their
loyalty and security.
The notice means the guild has
10 days in which to ask for a
hearing if it desires to present evi
dence on why the organization
should not go on the list.
The ABA house of delegates
earlier adopted a resolution de
claring the Communists should be
barred from the legal profession
in this country.
THE CHINESE AND
THE SERGEANT
FREEDOM VILLAGE, Korea,
UR—What, the Chinese asked the
sergeant, is the precise location of
the Okinawa ammunition supply
point?
Sgt. Ralph E. Bishop of Long
Beach, ^alif., who once worked
there, answered:
“Now why would a ‘peace-lov
ing’ people want to know that?”
Bishop, who was released by the
Communists Thursday said the
Chinese officer told him: “Amer
ica is an agressive nation and we
want to know so that we can pro
tect the people.”
“Were the United State aggres
sive,” said the sergeant, “we
would march through Peiping and
bomb Shanghai.”
“But we have 475 million peo
ple,” replied the Chinese.
“And we have 476 million bul
lets,” said the sergeant.
The only reply to this was a
slap across the face.
In Great Britain, farmers can
buy firecrackers set to explode
at intervals to scare birds from
their fields.
Air Force Seeks
Replacements For
Half Its Airmen
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Air
Force is pondering how it can get
qualified replacements within the
next two years for about half of
its airmen now on active duty.
An air official said an in
terview yesterday many airmen
now in service signed four-year
enlistments shortly after the Ko
rean war started. The Air Force
then was expanding. Most of them
will be completing their tours
within the next two years.
Even with the expected re
enlistment of a number of men,
he said, about 183,000 will have to
be replaced by next July 1. An
other 180,000 wil climb out of uni
forms the following year. The pre
sent Air Force strength is 977,
000 — 745,000 enlisted men and
132,000 officers.
The problem is not so much
getting numbers of personnel as
replacing highly trained men with
similarly skilled men.
One headache comes from try
ing to keep constant the flow of
men into the basic training pro
grams and out of technical schools.
Expanding and contracting these
programs and schools to meet
changing replacement require
ments costs the Air Force money
and man hours.
The Air ♦Force recently took
one step in an attempt to dear
the way for a solution. It said
it would release, upon request, all
airmen serving in the U.S. who
have more than three years duty
and who are declared surplus and
have non-skilled job classifica
tions.
The Air Force for many months
has been able to recruit all the
men it could possibly use and
even has been able to keep a long
waiting list. Thus, it sees no prob
lem in recruiting enough men to
replace any released ahead of
schedule.
GOOD OLD DAYS HAD THEIR
HIGH COST OF LIVING
, CHICAGO, UP)— If you think
prices are high now, just stop and
look backward.
Purple-dyed wool fetched as
much as $175 a pound in Cicero’s
time (106-44 B.C.)
“There were no rent controls
in 1859, when gold was discovered
at Sutter’s Mill, California,” says
Edward L. Throm, social studies
editor of the World Book Encyclo
pedia. “Shacks rented for $100
and up a week. A night’s rest on
a simple cot cost as much as $15.
And in the midst of the gold
rush in the late 90s, he adds, eggs
sold for a dollar apiece in Skag
way, Alaska, and a plate of ham
and eggs set the diner back $10.
