Rosenberg disclosed to day that the armed services are lowering their mental and phy sical standards to raise an extra 150,000 draftees including many now classified 4-F. She said some of the 799,000 men now hv4-F will be taken as "full members" of the armed forces and "we hope" to put others in limited service jobs. A "reap praisal" of induction standards is being made, she said, and will be announced "in the near future." Mrs. Rosenberg said the ser vices also are drawing up a pol icy which will give the Army its fair share of top-quality men. There have been complaints the Navy and Air Force get the "cream of the crop." She revealed the plan in testi mony before the House Armed Services committee on the De fense Department's bill to draft 18-year-olds and extend the term of service to 27 months. She as sured the committee she will "put on the pressure" to lower phyr sical and mental standards. "We'll put the pressure in the bill," replied Chairman Carl Vin son (D. Ga.). Vinson said "the country and I "have been concerned about the "liberality? with which 4-F clas sifications are handed out par ticularly to baseball and football players and prizefighters "able to draw $10,000 a year." He thought many are able to carry a rifle, throw a grenade or do "kitchen police work." s Mags Swipe Tarnation's Rare Humor Tarnation, Carolina's humor magazine, has been receiving a great deal of national recognition, according to Herb Nachman, edi tor of the publication.

He called on American students to become aware of the "sinister im plications" in the -oath.

There are also 141 other con tact offices, with larger staffs which would not be affected. VA is spending about $12,890, 000 for contact services during the current fiscal year. President Truman has recommended cutt ing that fund to $10,947,000 in the fiscal year-starting July 1. "It is obvious that something will have to be done," a VA spok esman told a reporter. Any closings ordered probab ly will start by April. The VA also is facing the prospect of iladucing some of its medical services to veterans because its doctors are being called back to military duty. "Since the outbreak of the Ko rean War last June, we have lost 300 of our doctors to the Armed Services," A.W.Woolford, direc tor of VA's information service, told a reporter.

Defense Secretary George C.
