600-M.P.H. Jet Plane
Now in Production,
Air Force Reports
By th§ Associated Pr«*
A new Lockheed Shooting Star
with a more powerful Allison turbo
jet engine giving It a speed of 600
miles an hour Is in production, the
Air Force said yesterday.
The new fighter plane is the F
80C, whose new engine, the J-33-23,
has a takeoff rating of 4,600 pounds
thrust, the announcement said. It
has a higher climb rate than the
F-80B, the previous model of The
Shooting Star series, the Air Force
said.
Exact performance figures of the
new model were withheld, but the
Air Force said that it is the same
as the F-80B in dimensions, weight,
range and armament.
The plane originally was desig
nated as the P-80.
The new fighter, whose develop
ment began a year ago in experi
ments at Muroc. Calif., air base, has
six M-3 50-caliber machine guns
“with an increased rate of fire over
the M-2 machine gun used in the
last war,’’ the Air Force said. It
can carry two half-ton bombs in
wing tip shackles.
Six Air Force fighter groups, two
overseas, now are equipped with
Shooting Stars.
Draft
•Continued From First Page.)
draft boards so the registration of
7.500.000 men 18 through 25 can start,
probably in mid-August.
Most, if not all, of the National
Guard units are up to authorized
strength because of the recent rush
of men to join before the draft bill
was signed by President Truman
last Thursday, Secretary Royall
said. Much the same situation exists
In organized reserve units, which
require periodic drills and summer
training.
Indicating that men already in
the National Guard and some or
ganized components are not subject
to the draft now. Secretary Royall
said there has been no official de
termination yet concerning the
status of various unorganized re
serve units or enlisted reserve
groups that exist principally on
paper.
Draft calls during the fiscal year
beginning July 1 will be "relatively
small” and their size will be deter
mined chiefly by the number of
voluntary enlistments obtained by
the Army during those 12 months.
Secretary Royall estimated that the
Army will get between 250,000 and
300.000 volunteers to replace men
whose enlistments expire and who do
not Join up again.
30.000 Inductees a Month.
"On this basis, we estimate that
between 225.000 and 250,000 men
might have to be drafted into the
Army during the 1949 fiscal year,”
he continued. "It is expected that
the first inductions will be made
very soon after September 22. On
this basis, the Army expects to re
ceive an average of 30.000 inductees
a month during the last nine month
of the coming fiscal year. That is
only an estimate, but we plan to \
maintain a fairly uniform rate of
Inductions each month.”
The Army Secretary added that
at least 20.000 additional officers,
mostly captains and lieutenants,
will be needed to help train the
inductees. The Army hopes to get
them largely from National Guard
and Reserve officers "who volunteer
for extended active duty,” Secretary
Royall said.
Although the new draft law
authorizes a total Army strength of
837.000 budget limitations will keep
the figure down to 790,000 during
the 1949 fiscal year. The Army
now has about 542,000.
Six Divisions Overseas.
Secretary Royall elaborated on his
earlier announcement that the Army
plans, through the draft and an
intensified voluntary enlistment
program, to build up 12 regular
Army divisions and six National
Guard divisions to full combat
strength by the end of the next
fiscal year. He said 6 of the 12
regular divisions would be stationed
overseas. The 12 regular divisions
“wil| give us a small but reall?
effective mobile striking force,”
Secretary Royall declared.
“These Army troops,” he con
tinued. “would be prepared in event
of emergency to protect outlying
and continental bases and also to
seize and hold various overseas
bases from which attacks conceiv
ably could be made on our cities.”
The inductees, as well as 161.000
18-year-old youths who will be ac
cepted for one-vear voluntary en
listment. will be trained at eight
camps, four of which will be newly
opened.
Camp Pickett to Be Reopened.
Camp Pickett, Va., will be one of
the new training camps, as train
ing center for about 16.000 men in
the 17th Airborne Division. It is
near Blackstone, i'h Nottoway
County, Southwest Virginia.
The other will be Camp Brecken
ridg;e, Ky„ for the 101st Airborne
Division, Camp Chaffee, Ark., for
the Fifth Armored Division, and
Fort Riley, Kans.. for the 10th In
fantry Division.
The training plans already in op-!
eration are for the 4th Infantry Di
vision at Fort Ord, Calif.; 5th In
fantry Division, at Fort Jackson,
S. C.. and 9th Infantry Division at
Fort Dix. N. J., and the 3d Armored
Division at Fort Knox, Ky.
Fort Mead, Md., is one of six ex
isting camps at which service and
supporting troops of less than di
vision size will be trained. The oth
ers are Fort Bliss, Tex.; Camp Car
son, Colo.; Camp Cooke, Calif.; Fort
Devens, Mass., and Fort Worden,
Wash.
Fort Belvoir, Va., is due to be
expanded after September 1 from
about 5,000 to more than 11,000 men.
Eight Weeks of Basic Training.
Secretary Royall explained that
Inductees would go first to induc
tion centers near their homes. These
places have. not yet been desig
nated, but in any event, the men
would stay there only a few days j
before being sent to one of the
eight training centers.
Most of the inductees would com
plete at least eight weeks of basic
training at those centers, although
men with previous service, such as |
veterans who served less than 90
days during the last war, would be 1
assigned directly to regular units.
“After their basic Individual train
ing,’' Secretary Royall said, "the
soldiers would be kept either in the
United States for further training
or go overseas. No 18-year-olds will
be sent overseas.”
The Army, according to secretary
Royall, will make every effort to pro
vide specialized training for men

New Drug Cracks Typhoid Fever
In 3 Days, Area Scientists Find
« By th« Associated Prats
BALTIMORE, June 28.—Two
physicians have told of a new drug
that takes only three days to crack
typhoid fever.
Previously it has been considered
a 30-day disease.
Dr. Theodore E. Woodward of the
University of Maryland medical
school, and Col. Rufus L. Holt, com
mandant of the Army Medical De
partment’s research and graduate
school in Washington, said the drug
was used in three separate cases in
Baltimore, and each time it brought
down the fever within three days.
Known as Chloromycetin, it is
derived from a fungus.
It was first used clinically against
scrub typhus, a disease to which
many servicemen succumbed in the
South Pacific.
This had been an almost uncon
trollable disease, with a death rate
or 15 per cent. Dr. wooawara saia
para-aminobenzoic acid had proved
"only partially effective” against it,
but Chloromycetin has brought 24
hour cures.
Dr. Woodward recently returned
here after spending the spring with
a scrub typhus team, sponsored by
the University of Maryland and
financed by the Army, in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaya.
He said the drug's effectiveness
against typhoid fever was discov
ered by accident when it took three
days to work on two supposed scrub
typhus patients. Investigation
showed that the subjects had been
suffering from typhoid fever, a dis
ease communicated by food or
water. Scrub typhus is carried by
an insect called a mite.
So far Chloromycetin has been
administered successfully in 13
cases of typhoid.
will give all inductees and volunteers
an opportunity for promotion to
non-commissioned grades. Inductees
and volunteers also will have a
chance to go to officers’ candidate
schools leading to commissions in
the active Reserev and possibly in
the Regular Army.
Some to Go in Regular Army.
About 10 per cent of those com
pleting OC8 will be eligible for di
rect appointment as officers of the
Regular Army, he said.
“Housing will be provided in time
to care for the expanded Army by
the time that the first inductees ar
rive,” Secretary Royall continued.
"We haven’t much money for Army
housing,. but the facilities will be
reasonably comfortable. We will not
coddle the men, but will care for
them adequately.”
As for equipment and training
methods, Secretary Royall said most
of the equipment will be from the
wartime stocks, but the training
in every particular will be “as
modern as posible.” He added that
the Army probably will not be able
to use some of the most advanced
types of weapons for training during
the next fiscal year, but all the
men will be given an idea of the
latest weapons and methods.
Six Guard Unite Get Priority.
As for discipline and the general
supervision of the. men, Secretary
Royall said, the Army “will not be
harsh” and will provide recrea
tional, educational and religious
facilities. The educational plans, he
added, Include organized classes in
general subjects and also corre
spondence courses if requested by
men.
The designation of six National
Guard divisions to be maintained at
full strength does not mean that
other National Guards, such as the
District organization, will be ne
glected, Secretary Royall said. The
six, however, will receive priority in
weapons, supplies and training fa
cilities, so that they can take their
place, if necessary in an emergency,
as a highly trained force.
"National Guard recruiting will be
continued so far as men outside the
draft age are concerned,” Secretary
Royal said, "but as a practical mat
ter the acceptance of Guard enlist
ments may have to be limited be
cause almost all of the Guards
throughout the country now are up
to their authorized manpower
strength. We have no intention of
disbanding or neglecting the other
National Guard units, but we se
lected six for priority training be
cause they, In general, were in the
greatest state of readiness.”
won t vesifnste iv»ce in v»i».
Those six National Guard divi
sions are the 36th, Massachusetts;
28th, Pennsylvania; the 31st of Ala
bama and Mississippi; the 43rd, in
Rhode Island, Connecticut and Ver
mont; the 45th, in Oklahoma, and.
the 49th, in Texas.
In reply to questions. Secretary
Royall gave the following informa
tion:
There is nothing in the draft law
to exempt a Communist from mili
tary service, but “well have to eval
uate whether a man’s activities in
civilian life are subversive.”
The Army will make draft calls
"without any designation of race or
color.” Other phases of this “racial
designation” matter are still being
studied.
Commenting later in a formal
statement on race segregation, Sec
retary Royall said, "our policy must
continue to be the employment of
Negro troop units of appropriate
size and conformation in the best
interests of over-all efficiency. There
will be equality of opportunity and
lack of discrimination between
races.”
No Need of Controls Now.
The Army sees nothing at the
present time to indicate that it
should make use of the draft law
provision allowing priorities and al
location controls to assure produc
tion of materials for the expanded
armed forces.
The Army has a “difficult prob
lem” in trying to find at least 6,000
doctors and dentists, and, as a last
resort, may have to call back into
service “a substantial number” of
medical men whose education was
financed in whol6 or in part by the
Government.
Secretary Royall later issued a
series of questions and answers
which stated, for instance, that:
Army drafteies will not be able
to transfer to the Air Force or Navy.
Inductees will have 30 days a year
authorized leave, the same as of
ficers and enlisted men in the Reg
ular Army. They probably will have j
little opportunity to visit home dur
ing the basic training period.
State Department's Art,
Subject of Dispute, Sold
The State Department paintings
and water colors, purchased in 1945
for exhibition abroad and recalled
from Czechoslovakia and Cuba when
Congress roundly criticized them,
have been disposed of, War Assets
Administration officials said today.
The authorities said none was
sold to persons or institutions in
the Washington area. Major suc
cessful bidders included the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, which got 35
of the 117 works by leading Ameri
can artists; Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, which got 31. and the
University of Georgia, which got 10.
American University sought some
of the paintings, but failed to qual
ify, because it is a private institu
tion. Most of the paintings went
to State educational institutions,
which had high priority in the re
cent bidding, held in New York and
reviewed here.

Strikes in 2 Provinces
Keep Italy on Edge
Associated Press
ROME, June 28.—Communist-led
strikes kept Italy on edge today
despite week-end settlement of a
food workers’ strike which threat
ened for a time to empty the Na
tion’s cupboards.
A general strike in Pisa Province
entered its fourth day after the
Industrial Association anti Cham
ber of Labor representatives failed
to agree on demands for rehiring
ilO workers laid off by a match fac
tory.
A one-day nation-wide strike of
food industry workers ended Sat
urday night after the government
promised to consider wage rises and
other demands.
Food workers in populous Milan
Province remained off the job, how
ever, in sympathy with 150 hakery
employes laid off a month ago.
The General Confederation of
Labor (CGIL) has arranged a
week-long calendar of strikes start
ing next Friday with a half-day
walkout by industrial workers and
followed by similar strikes of chem
ists, electricians, steel workers, glass,
ceramics and saccharine workers.
CGIL leaders said the aim of these
strikes is “better working condi
tions.”
A slowdown strike of Sardinian
coal miners, seeking more pay, still

End Wheat-Saving Drive,
Bakers Ask Government
By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. June 28.—The Amer
ican Bakers’ Association asked the
Government yesterday to halt its
wheat-saving campaign and tell the
public “flat-footedly” to eat all the
bakery goods it wants.
Ralph D. Ward of Brooklyn,
chairman of the association’s Na
tional Affair^ Committee, said in a
statement that “if there ever was
any reason for the administration
to try to reduce Americans’ use of
bread and other bakery foods, that
reason quite obviously no longer
exists.
“The world-wide wheat harvest
indicates the possibility of surpluses,
and certainly not of shortages.
Meanwhile, the Department of Ag
riculture continues its campaign to
reduce use of bakery products.”

G. W. Hospital Will Receive
Clinic Grant Tomorrow
George Washington University’s
hospital tomorrow will receive a
three-year grant for establishment
of a thoracic clinic to permit study
of chronic chest diseases.
The grant, providing $8,500 an
nually, comes from the Tubercu
losis Association, which, with the
university, will carry on the clinical
work.
Presentation will be made in the
offices of Dr. Walter A. Bloedorn

Most of the patients receiving
treatment in the clinic will be re
ferred by private physicians and the
District Health Department, Dr.
Bloedorn said. Among the clinic’s
specific goals are:
Demonstration and development
through research of new procedures
for evaluating “latent” pulmonary
tuberculosis; making available fa
cilities by which other chronic chest
diseases may be distinguished from
pulmonary tuberculosis; provide
post-hospital treatment facilities;
provide interim medical supervision
for those who cannot get hospital
reservations.

Boy, 3, Seriously Hurt
By Pistol Playmate
Finds at Day Nursery
Three-year-old James Kurtz was
shot In the stomach today while
playing with a 7-year-old friend,
Arlington police reported.
James, who lives at 203 South Oak
street. Falls Church, was admitted
to Arlington Hospital, where his
condition was said to be serious.
Police said the accident occurred
at a day nursery at 1020 North Ver
mont street, where James stayed
while his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Kurtz, worked at the Arlington Navy
Annex.
The boy was playing in a room
at the house with Danny Harris,
1021 North Vermont street. The
latter, according to police, found
the loaded .32-callber pistol on the
top shelf of an otherwise empty
closet. Police said Danny told them
he thought it was a cap pistol.
The operator of the day nursery,
Mrs. Louis C. Thompson, who was
in the back yard hanging up clothes,
heard the shot and ran into the
house. She took James to the Ar^
lington Hospital.
Police said that Mrs. Kurtz and
her son moved recently to Falls
Church., from Tennessee, and that
Mr. Kurtz was still in Tennessee.
Danny, police said, is the son of
Lee Mason Harris, an employe of
the Washington, Virginia & Mary
land Coach Co.

to go to the playground for a swing.
We expected her home In about an
hour and when she didn’t come back
I went out to look for her.
“I walked up the route I thought
she would be coming back on, up
Seventeenth to Colorado, over to
Sixteenth and up the sidewalk. I
searched all around the swings and
tennis courts at the upper play
ground at Sixteenth and Kennedy
streets, but couldn't And her. So I
came back down Sixteenth street
on the bus."
At home his wife reminded him
of a second play area to the south
east, near Colorado avenue, and
he took the bus back to Sixteenth
and Colorado, Mr. Bardwell said.
Found Bike on Path.
“I walked into the baseball field
and looked around, but didn’t find
her,” he said. “Then I took the
short cut toward home. It is used
a lot, but we have cautioned Carol
about going there.
“I came down the path and there
was her bike. I'm not certain how
far it was from Colorado avenue,
but I couldn’t see the street freon
that point. Neither could I see
Carol.”
Mr. Bardwell then took the bicycle
to the home of a friend, Peter E.
Kekenas, 4725 Colorado avenue N.W.
He said Carol was not in habit of
using the short-cut path, but that
since it was hot yesterday she prob
ably chose it rather than to take the
longer route by Sixteenth street.
Found By Strolling Couple.
The body was found by John E.
Breen, 1419 Rhode Island avenue
N.W., and Miss Lucille Bergstrom,
111 Fourteenth street N.E., who were
walking along the old road, which
now is used frequently as a foot
path.
By the. time the discovery was
announced, Park Police and more
than a score of the Bardwell neigh
bors were scouring the woods, know
ing that Carol had left home about
5 pm. to swing at the playground,
about three blocks from the murder
scene. i
Mr. Breen notified Daniel W.
Johnson, 4409 Seventeenth street
N.W., one of the neighbors in the
searching party. He was walking
through the woods with his wife
and grandsons, Bobby White, 9, and
Danny Shaner. 8.
Believing Mr. Johnson to be the
girl’s father, Mr. Breen at first told
him hot to “go down there.”
Father Finds Bicycle.
After identifying himself, Mr.
Johnson went to the girl’s side. He
saw the bloody form, doubled up
and lying on its side. He told the
grandsons not to come near.
Not long before, Mr. Bardwell
had found his daughter’s bicycle
on the path about 30 feet from the
body. A Christmas present and
one of her favorite possessions, she
had ridden it from home.
The old road on which she was
riding at the time she apparently
was halted, led into an east-west
bridle path about 500 feet from the
murder scene. This path frequently
was used by children riding their
bicycles or walking to the play
grounds to swing or play tennis.
Capt. William Cunningham, com
mander of the tenth precinct, said
the only complaint police had re
ceived recently resulted in the arrest
last September of a teen-aged youth
accused of trying to molest a woman
on a bicycle. A youth arrested for
indecent exposure three months ago
was discharged after promising to
leave the District, Capt. Cunning
ham said.
Early risers in the neighborhood
clustered in small knots today, dis
cussing the tragedy that had be
fallen the child ^nd showing con
cern for the safety of their own
children. j
They recalled the Bardwells had
moved into their present home, six
blocks from where the body was
found, about 20 years ago, and that

Mrs. Raphael Urciolo, whose
daughter, Connie, 8, was one of
Carol’s playmates, said Carol was
“such a swell kid, and always care

Japs, Seeking Trade,
Face Consequences of
Imperialistic Policies
fty 1f»# A«s*c»ot«d Preti
TOKYO, June 28—Th« teach
ings of Japan’s empire builders
have come back at an evil hour—
just as the nation is trying to re*
build its war-shattered economy.
This is emphasised in a report
on food resources by Ool. N. H.
Vissering and R. X. Vickery of the
Army’s Office of Pood Administra
tion. They have just returned from
China and Southern Asia, where
the empire builders did their work.
The investigators found two ma
jor barriers to reviving the Asiatic
trade on which Japan must rely to
rebuild.
Hatred Is Factor.
One is the hatred and fear of
Japanese, bom of wartime Japanese
brutality. This is most marked in
China and the Philippines.
The investigators say this sen
timent cannot be underestimated in
evaluating Japan's future chances
of getting food in trade from her
neighbors.
The other barrier is an “intense
nationalism on the part of Asiatic
countries.” This was fostered by
the Japanese conquerors themselves
in forming their so-called "East
Asiatic co-prosperity sphere.” But
the Japanese had Intended to har
ness this nationalism.
Self-Sufficiency Sought.
The investigators report this na
tionalism is “coupled with a de
termination to achieve national
self-sufficiency.”
“All countries visited,” they added,
"are intensively planning to dupli
cate the industries which Japan is
counting on as a basis for trade.”
Another factor to be reckoned
with' by the Japanese Is "a growing
tendency on the part of Aslatio
countries toward government-con
trolled economics.” That Is bound
to complicate trading.
Ironically, even this In part can
be laid to Japanese Imperialism.
The Japanese imperialists wanted
tight government control in the sub
jugated countries for the benefit of
the imperialists.
Textile Competition Created.
The investigators found other |
chickens coming home to roost.
The Japanese planners empha
sized cotton growing and textile
manufacturing in the conquered
countries, on which they drew
heavily iff goods and raw materials
to keep their war machine going.
Now, say the investgators, textile
spinning has received top priority
in most Southwest Asiatic countries.
I with the collapse of the silk market .
in the United States, Japan relies on
textiles as its chief export.
That is a great blow. With North
Korea and Manchura under Com
munist control, Japan must turn to
Southwest Asia. She must buy food
there to make up deficiencies and
she must sell her manufactured
goods there to finance the purchases.
