East Germany Studied
As Demilitarized Zone
By JAMES E. KOPER
The possibility of establishing
East Germany at a non-military
area will be discussed here next
week when representatives of the
United States, Great Britain and
France meet to line up a solid
position for their foreign minis
ters meeting with the Soviet Uni
on October 27.
This would be a merging of
some ideas which the Western
allies have put forward as poten
tial solutions for the problem of
security in Europe.
British Prime Minister An
thony Eden has spoken mo6t
often of a demilitarized zone
across the heart of Europe. His
idea is for each side to pull back.
He has mentioned a withdrawal
of 50 miles on either side of the
demarcation line.
Objection by Dulles
Secretary of State Dulles, how
ever, objects to any pull-back by
Western forces. At the same time,
he recognizes that the Soviet
Union is not likely to vacate any
territories which the West would
be likely to occupy and use
against the Communist bloc.
This situation has led to dis
cussion of a possible package
deal aimed at reunifying Ger
many with suitable guarantees
for the security of its neighbors.
The first American objective
Is to get Soviet dominance out
of Communist-controlled East
Germany so that this area could
Join a reunified Germany with
ties to the West. As a means
of persuading Russia to go along
with this, American officials dis
cussed the possibility of agreeing
to keep Eastern Germany in a
nonmilltarized status, at lease
for the present.
Seen as Buffer Zone
This, in effect, would create a
buffer zone—but entirely east of
the Iron Curtain.
As a further assurance to
Russia—and as a quid pro quo
for Soviet acquiescence in Ger
man unification Americans
place heavy emphasis on pros
pects for a mutual security
arrangement involving a large
number of countries on either
ride of the Iron Curtain. The
Navy Resorting
To Draff Again
By ELTON C. FAY
Associated Pres* Staff Writer
The Navy, which has prided
Itself on being a strictly volun
teer outfit, finally has been com-,
pelled to start drafting some of
Its sailors.
For the first time since World'
War 11, when all the armed
forces were ordered to get all
men by draft alone, the Navy
will begin in November to get
some of its manpower by levy.
The draft became necessary,
the Navy said, to replace men
whose four-year Korean war en-;
listments are now expiring.
A monthly quota, starting out,
at 10,000 men, will be added to[
the present Army quota to bring]
the total draft call up to 20,000.1
By next summer the Navy ex-!
pects to have drafted a total of
56,000 men. Except for January
when none will be taken, the;
Navy is asking 10,000 men a
month through next April. 1
6,000 for May and perhaps some,
in June. It said it hopes to
drop draft calls after June. j
The Ifavy draftees will serve
for the same two-year period as
their Army opposites. Enlist-;
ments will continue on a four
year basis.
The Air Force is confronted
with a problem identical to that;
of the Navy—a high loss of man-;
power because terms of men who;
joined during the Korean war

most frequently mentioned figure
is 15, including a unified Ger
many.
This figure is by no means
firm, but it reflects an American
willingness to go into a treaty
with Iron Curtain countries.
This is an offshot of the Soviet
proposal for Russia to Join the
North Atlantic Treaty Organisa
tion and for Western Europe
countries to join the Soviet
sponsored mutual security treat
ies among Eastern European
states. At the time Russia made
this proposal more than a year
ago. American officials laughed
at the idea.
U. S. Proposal Is Broader
The whole United States ap
proach to the problem of Ger- •
man unification and European
security, however, now is broader
than the British approach. The
philosophies of the United
States and Britain also show in
the disarmament talks now go
ing on in New York.
Only yesterday Great Britain
suggested at he disarmament
negotiations . .t the East and
West start with an immediate
joint inspection of troops facing
each other in Europe.
This is far less ambitious than
President Eisenhower’s sugges
tion for a mutual exchange of
mi]Jtary blueprints and mutual
aerial Inspection of each other’s
territories, including the main
lands of the United States and
the Soviet Union.
The British politer on disarm
ament and its policy on Ger
many and European security
seemed to be evolving in tiny
but co-ordinated steps. The
British attitude is based on the
thesis that these tiny steps
would be easier to take and per
haps lead to more in the long
run than the giant strides
which the United States seeks.
These policies, while not di
rectly in conflict, do vary in
emphasis. Thus it is that their
representatives, along with dele
gates of France, will have to
do some clear thinking next
week to agree on a solid policy
to take to the October 27 meet
ing with Soviet Foreign Minister
V. M. Molotov in Geneva.
are now expiring and men are
droves—to re-en
list.
But the Air Force is hanging
on grimly to its volunteer rec
ord. A spokesman said today
there are “absolutely no plans"
so rtumlng to the draft and
added “we are completely a vol
unteer service and hope and
trust we can remain that way."
He said monthl yenllstment
'quotas are being met through
the volunteer method. But rec
ords show that the Air Force,
with a present strength of about
955,000, is below the 975.000 level
which it is authorized to attain
by next June 30.
If called up by selective serv
ice, a man may ask for duty in
the Navy. But whether he gets
it will depend on several condi
tions, including whether the
monthly quotas as allocated be
tween the Army and Navy have]
jbeen filled. The selections will
be made at the armed forces
I examination stations.
! Even though the tour of duty
will be only half of that for
i regular enlistees, the draftee will
get the same type of assignments.
jThe Navy says:
“There will be no distinction
made. They will be assigned to
'the fleet, shore establishment
jor schools as the needs of the
service dictate.”

Rubin Boyance. S 3, a painter
from Levittown, Pa., slipped
from « 100-foot-high scaf
fold yesterday and plunged
toward ground workers on
construction of a Delaware
River bridge at nearby
Edgely.
He fell about 30 feet—
reached out—and managed
to grasp a. dangling rope.
Workers above began to haul
him back up.
Just as Mr. Boyance
neared a catwalk he fell
again. This time there was
no dangling rope. He fell
—screaming—toward earth.
He landed in a taut piece

2 Trapped Men Feared
Suffocated in Mine Shaft
GEORGETOWN, Colp.. Sept.
16 (#).—United States Bureau of
Mines experts joined more than
100 volunteer reecue workers
today in desperate efforts to res
cue two Kansas uranium pros
pectors trapped in an old mine
shaft.
Believed dead from lack of
oxygen more than 3,000 feet In
side the unused shaft near here
were Glenn Dew, 33, and Melvin
Leßlow, 45, Ulysses (Kans.)
farmers.
The two were last seen about
2:30 pm. (MST) yesterday when
they followed their Gieger count
ers under the rotted timbers sup
porting the old mine tunnel,
about 35 miles west of Denver.
Two companions who stayed
back as a precaution escaped en
trapment. They are Kenneth E.
Hickok. 50, a mining engineer,
and Ernest F. Btubblefield, 32. an
airport manager. Both also live
at Ulysses.
dear Creek County Sheriff
James Sacra said two miners
with oxygen masks got no an
swer after they went part way
into the shaft and shouted ftp
Mr. Dew and Mr. Leßlow.
Lack of oxygen in the old mine
hampered operations, but a team
of 10 Bureau of Mines experts
arrived early today with air com
pressing equipment and an oxy
gen supply-
Offlclals said the prospectors
had oxygen tanks to support
them for about four hours. The
officials believed the two could
not possibly have survived the
hours after their oxygen was ex
hausted.
Mr. Stubblefield and Mr.
Hickok said they came her?
Tuesday to do mot uranium
hunting. At the bandoaed abaft
next day they found indications
of uranium ore around the out
ride.
Mr. Hickok said all except Mr.
Btubblefleld, who is crippled,
went into the mine about 3.000
feet Wednesday until they
reached a point where an old
cave-in had partly blocked the
shaft. He skid the air was bad
and they abandoned the effort
for the day.
The trio returned yesterday
and after reaching the cave-in
Mr. Dew and Mr. Leßlow
climbed over it. Mr. Hickok
said they discovered water on
the other side and used old
lumber to construct a raft, In
tending to float beyond the
water. Mr. Hickok said that
was the last he heard of the
two.
He told Sheriff Sacra he
waited more than two hours for
his companions. *Then he
crawled over the cave-in, but
bad air drove him back. He re
i turned to the surface and sum
i aid.
Sheriff Sacra said both men
i are married. Mr. Dew has three
children and Mr. Leßlow two.
