Main Street Call 2-1662 for Appointment Washington, July 5—(A 5 )—The Army yesterday discounted any immediate prospect of mobilizing reserves or using the draft to marshal new manpower in the Ko rean crisis. The defense department issued a formal statement outlining the Army’s position, as follows: “The department of the Army stated yesterday that it is not con templating asking for authority to have Army reserves and reserve units called in the foreseeable fu ture. No Draft Application “Neither does the Army plan to ask for application of the Selective Service (draft) law so long as its authorized strength can be main tained by voluntary enlistments.’’ However, the Air Force an nounced it will recall for active duty, on a voluntary basis, a num ber of reservists who are electron ics specialists. These will function under the continental air com mand, which is responsible for the air defense of the United States, Fake Saucer Fools Folks, Only a Fraud Alice, Tex., July 5—(A 1 )—A clever prankster threw this South Texas town into an uproar yester day with a home-made flying sau cer. He left it lying in a plowed field on the eastern edge of town. Ap parently he burned some gasoline to make it look as if the craft’s exhaust had burned the grass. Discoverer of the saucer was Leroy Holleman of an Alice roofing and sheet metal company. Driving along a highway bordering a plow ed field, he spotted the saucer. Within an hour Alice’s sleepy Fourth of July burst into galaxy of wild rumors. Here’s what the crowd saw: An aluminum object, almost round, about four feet across each way, six or eight inches thick in the middle, with antentia an]d “running lights” on both sides, an,] a small opening in the back. Stencilled on the left side were the words “warning.-X-147-A. Don’t touch.” And no one, at first, would touch it. But excited townspeople knelt down and looked through the little hole. They could see machin ery inside. Among those who came running were Police Chief Stokes Micen- heimer and Managing Editor Cur tis Vinson of the Alice Daily Echo. A few inquiries by them turned up the fact the “saucer” had been made at the local airport. The rounded tip of an airplane wing was the principal part. Micenheimer brought the saucer to the police station, where it was still drawing a crowd and excited comment hours later. SELL WITH A BATTALION CLASSIFIED AD.

Hurry! including radar warning. Officers who volunteer will be recalled for six months to three years, and airmen six to 21 months. The number of volunteers who will be taken was not stated, but it was believed to be small. The defense department state ment that it does not plan now to invoke the draft came within 24 hours after U. S. Marines, Marine air units and B-29 superfortress bombers were ordered to the far Pacific war theatre. Responsive Orders The orders went out in response to a call by General Douglas Mac- Arthur for reinforcement to bol ster American Infantry already moving into the battle" of Red- invaded South Korea. Navy officers here said, mean while, they have no information as to the type of air cover being pro vided for the movement of troops and equipment from Japan into South Korea. In the absence of any reports, they said at a briefing session land based bombers were being used. Such craft, being compara tively slow and lightly armed, would have little protection on the relatively long flights from Japan over the Korean sea lanes. Other Developments In other developments: 1. The Navy said a report that an unidentified submarine had been spotted off the Florida coast, in the Gulf of Mexico, has been eval uated as “very doubtful.” 2. Security regulations such as prevailed during World War II were ordered into effect tomorrow on Capitol Hill. Passes will be required of all persons—including members of congress, capitol employees and ac credited newsmen—entering or leaving the building 4:30 p. m. and 9 a. m., except when congress is in night session. 3. Diplomatic authorities studied the text of a statement by Gen. MacArthur outlining the rules of warfare in the far Pacific fighting, and linked it with reports that the Communist invaders have been shooting some captives. MacArthur’s statement was seen as laying the groundwork for fu ture war crimes trials. Sub Sighted Some Image! Pensacola, Fla., July 5—(A 1 )—A strange submarine reported in the Gulf Monday seems to have been a figment of a tourist’s lively im agination. That was the official word from the Navy today. It said the rumor apparently originated with a for mer Navy man passing through the area. It did not elaborate ex cept to say “we’ve had a bunch of reports like this.” Air Force and Navy planes hunt ed for the phantom sub originally reported three miles at sea off Fort Walton, east of here. 1940 BUICK green convertible — tight body—good tires—excellent radio and heater. $475.00.

Realizing the superiority of the men from A&M, the tactical camp command ers appointed two Aggies as com pany commanders for the first for mation. H. D. Abelow took charge of A Company, while Joe Murphy issued commands to B Company. Turek-Grubbs Vows Solemnized Miss Esther Louise Turek be came the bride of Edward Law rence Grubbs Saturday morning in Bryan. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. William Turek of Bryan, and the groom’s parents, of Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Grubbs of Laredo. The groom was graduated from A&M in 1947 with a degree in pet roleum engineering. He served two years in the Naval Air Corps dur ing the last war, and is now em ployed by the Core Laboratories in Houston. The bride attended Our Lady of the Lake College in San Antonip. Incidental to our arrival here was the physical exam given on the first day of camp. Instead of “go ing” to the hospital in the Red Cross truck, we were carried back to the barracks in it. After three days of preliminary rifle instruction, we saw our first action on the Pilot Knob rifle range. Thanks, Roommate # Best laugh of the camp came on the range when Dave Britt fired eight rounds in the prone position at 300 yards. His Aggie roommate, t Tom Ball, was telephone orderly on the firing line. Ball called the pits and asked for a couple of red flags on Britt’s firing point. After firing six straight bulls,eyes, Britt had two red flags “called” on him by none other than his roommate. The chow is wonderful—just like Duncan Hall, only not quite as much. Mail Champs Mail champion for the camps is Jack Tompkins, with Kenneth Schaake right on his heels. One cadet, Jim Bob Steen, is “one up” on our champions, however. He had his girl come to see him personally. Patrick Ramsey is official news analyst for the camp and is await ing appointment as tactical aide to Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the Korean theater. We’re all going to pretend the targets are Russians when we fire "* for record tomorrow. 4 % | V A ’ *■ 'S’si.VA 57vbf too* WtRO Yvii J'TQM 1950 TEXAS CENSUS !l Congressional Districts ill County Gained □ .County Lost 4 c rv Summer Clearance Sale Continued Complete Your Summer Wardrobe for the Long Summer Months Ahead!
