WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. —
President Truman today was
reported drafting a plea to
Congress to pass a law for
peacetime universal military
training. If Mr. Truman sends
this message to Capitol Hill
soon, as he reportedly has told
legislators he will do, it prob
ably will start one of the
hottest controversies since he
took office. Most leaders think
Congress is not ready yet to
say that volunteering won’t
work and adopt conscription as
its alternate. The advent of
the atomic bomb has left a lot
of legislators wondering wheth
* er it is worthwhile to maintain
large armies and navies in the
future.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16. — Shoe
rationing will be ended abrupt
ly, without previous announce
ment, some time in the near
future, Merrill A. Watson, di
rector of the sole leather
bureau of the tanner’s council
of America, declared today
Watson further predicted that
shoes soon will be more plenti
ful and of better quality.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. —
Congress dished out trouble to
day for a pair of presidential
proposals — one already in the
hands of lawmakers, the other
on tap. A senate committee
gave a plan to streamline the
government something of a
kicking around. It wants more
congressional control. Mr. Tru
man recommenucu uic puwi
long ago. Congressmen heard
that a request for peacetime
military training for all young
Americans might be on the way
from the White House soon.
And that may touch off one of
the biggest flare-ups in
months. Senator Edwin C.
Johnson, Democrat, Colorado,
said he’d fight it “to the last
ditch.” And he’s acting chair
man of the military committee.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. —
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower re
vealed today that German
communists dominate Berlin
political life with the open sup
port of the • Russian military
government, but without the
backing of a majority of the
German people. In his second
monthly report to the war de
partment on occupation prog
ress, he said the four political
parties in Berlin—the com
munist, social democratic, lib
eral democratic and Christian
democratic—have joined in a
united front at the initiative of
the communists. He said that
.a similar maneuver would be
discouraged in the United
States zone because political
blocs run counter “to tradi
tional American concepts of
political activity and vigorous
political life in a democratic
sense.” «
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. —
The navy announced tonight
mat us atscnarge point score
will be lowered three points
November 1, for all personnel
and that further reductions are
scheduled for December and
# January. The navy said the re
ductions will mean the release
of 1,000,000 men and 100,000
officers by January 1. Effec
tive November 1, male officers
will require 46 points for dis
• charge, male enlisted men, 41;

NAVY DAY SET
BY GOVERNOR
Cherry Proclaims October
Observance And Asks Peo
ple To Observe Same
PROUD RECORD CITED
Governor Cherry Saturday pro
claimed October 27 as Navy day
and asked the people “to accord
due observance to this occasion.’’
His proclamation:
“Grimly, yet with confidence in
the ability of this nation to meet
any emergency, America in her
great naval program finally drove
the axis powers from the seven
seas. This is a far cry from that
black day in naval history when
by treacherous attack a substan
tial part of our striking force lay
on the bottom of Pearl Harbor,
It was John Paul Jones who fled
to this state from England, 1773.
He was commissioned by Joseph
Hewes, then secretary of the navy,
and is known as the ‘North Caro
lina captain.’ Vividly remembered
is the epic drama of the ship Bon
Homme Richard — sinking and
aflame as broadside after broad
side of round shot from the Sera
phis crashed her hull. Summoned
to surrender on that fateful day
in 1779, John Paul Jones spurred
his boarding party to the capture
of a rich prize by his shouted,
never to be forgotten answer: “We
have just begun to fight!’’
“North Carolina has been privi
leged to furnish five of her sons as
secretaries of the navy. Not only
have we furnished executive lead
ership, but also the voluntary en
listments of our state and very
large in comparison with other
states. Today the battleship,
North Carolina, the fourth vessel
to bear the name, is a dread
naught whose firepower is second
to none.”

Memorial Service Held In
Honor of Those Killed In
World War II
RELIGION COMMON LINK
The Elkin Junior Chamber of
Commerce met Monday night at
the Y. M. C. A. in their regular
semi-monthly meeting for a
memorial service honoring those
who had paid the supreme sacri
fice during World War II.
Charles R. Hanes, who was
killed in action in Italy in 1943
and a member of the Jaycees,
was paid a special tribute by the
speaker of the evening, Dr. J. Lem
Stokes, II, former pastor of the
Elkin Methodist church. ,
In his address, Dr. Stokes
especially remembered all the
Jaycees who had served in the
armed forces and stressed the
comfort religion had, afforded to
all during the past years of tur
moil and unrest.
Religion, the speaker said, was
tiie common ground and link be
tween those in service and those
at home and was, therefore, the
power through which we could
honor those who had died for us.
Farewells were said *to Dr.
Stokes, member of the Jayaees,
as he is leaving Elkin for his new
assignment elsewhere.

FOLGER BILL
GETS APPROVAL
Surry Congressman Receives
Favorable Letters From
All Over Country
AFFECTS MEN UNDER 21
Excellent response from all over
the nation has been received by
Congressman John H. Folger, of
Mount Airy, on the bill introduced
in Congress recently proposing the
discharge from the army 01 an
men under 21 years of age. Mr.
Folger stated that he almost need
ed “storage room” for the letters
received from all over the country.
Only one writer a woman, took
issue with the congressman on his
bill, and that was due to a mis
understanding of its provisions.
She asked him why he didn’t deal
with cases of men in the services
two years or more, and Folger re
plied that his bill was not intend
ed to conflict with any other dis
charge provisions of the Army or
Navy and that the services were
giving increasing consideration to
length of service in connection
with discharges. He also sent her
a copy of his bill.
“General Marshall said all those
in two years or more would be
released this winter,” the con
gressman recalled. "I am trying to
get the husbands and fathers back
home with their families and the
boys under 21 back in school.”
