PAGE TWO Hew National - Guard Plan ' foreseen a ,Washington, Aug. 8. —President Truman may propose an enlarged ajid modernized national guard as j an alternative to peacetime military conscription, it was reported today.! (The President was said to be studying the whole question of post vjar military needs, especially in the light of this country’s planned par ticipation in the united nations or ganization. ’,Mr. Truman has indicated he will hfeve something to say on this when CJongress returns in October. He has I declined to express an opinion on cpmpulsory military training in the meantime. JLegislative friends believe the President is much more likely to propes an expanded guard—a branch td the service in which he was an officer in world war I—than to sup port the peacetime draft urged by Secretary of War Stimson. Gen. George C. Marshall, Adm. Ernest King and others. A special house committee on post war military policy favors postwar conscription but neither of the reg ular military committees of Con gress has done anything about it. There is ample evidence of bitter opposition. Legislators’ mail is so divided on the question that Sena tor Butler, Republican, Nebraska, has proposed that the states put the Jssue before the voters in the 1946 Congressional elections. Many of those who are against forcing young men to take military training, like Senators Johnson, pemocrat, Colorado, and Taft, Re publican. Ohio, favor the enlarge ment of the national guard, with the addition of technical courses shat would fit its volunteers for modern warfare. .•. 4- Johnson told a reporter the guard Units ought to be formed in high Schools and colleges, with the re serve officers training corps main tained to provide the leaders the army will need in wartime. » 'Taft said he thought the guard qould obtain "without trouble' 200.- 000 men in each of the age brackets firbm 18 through 22. As these were trained, he said, they could be plac ed on an inactive list, j J'This would give us a reserve of 1,800,000 trained men. a reserve that vi-ould always be kept, up to date on the tactics of modern warfare," lie said. “That’s certainly all the rken we will need if wc have a first class, but relatively small, proses- ■iWe sell Eye (Masses to Sat isfy the eyes— i $2.00 to SB.OO THE NEWELLS Jewelers * Roxboro, N.

Aug. 4. —When you listen i to a little fellow whose legs won't reach the pedals playing Chopin, 1 please think twice before you mur- j mur to yourself. "Just another prod igy who’ll probably be forgotten when he grows up!" Eugene List hasn't been forgot ten. The other night he played Chopin's A-flat Polonaise for the Big Three at Potsdam. X remember ! him when raised pedals had to be [ put in front of the piano for him. I and he was drawing thrilling music from the white and black keys then. \ In those days. 20 or more years lago, we were not thinking about the ! arrogance that Potsdam stands for, much less the prospect that one day ithis gifted, hardy youngster, now a j. sergeant in the American Army, i would be gracing the end of that I arrogance by his playing, i He was about 10. My sister and (he attended the same public school, "took" piano lessons from the same teacher. A very great many of us jin our neighborhood did. Apart from the results, the most obvious differ ence between Eugene and us at the j time was that he loved to practice. I We didn't, decidedly, although some that I know did learn to later, and reaped the fine rewards of artistry in proportion. But we loved to hear him play, j 1 Perhaps it was because we knew 1 j what a "regular" boy he was. with | his quiet ways and his tousled head, j but probably, too. it was because we I all loved the "Studio," where great | music was comnig to seem natural even for rampageous grammar ! school kids and high school teen j agers.

Aug. 8. —Farm or ganizations indicated today they Will bid for seats if the administra tion sponsors a general industrial peace conference as proposed by Senator Vandenberg, Republican. Michigan, and endorsed by Secre tary of Labor Schwellenbach. "We would be extremely interest ed in representation." John Haas, attorney for the National Co-opera tive Milk Producers federation, told reporters. "Many of our member organizations employ organized la bor. We are anxious, too. that the country avoid any difficulty it can in the reconversion period." James G. Patton, president of the national farmers union, said it would want a seat if the scope of the con ference extended beyond the mere mechanics of keeping peace between industry and unions. "I think there should be a gen era! conference of all elements of the economy on mobilization for peace—and the earlier the better." he added. Reorganize Department Associates of Schwellenbach have indicated that a conference, if call ed. likely would be delayed at least until September first. Vandenberg proposed tit econfer ence in a letter to the secretary of labor, saying he was concerned less "needless strife" interfere with re conversion. Fred Bailey, legislative representa tive. of the national Grange, said that organization was always inter ested in anything which concerns the general economy since farm markets are affected.
