Shortage
CLEVELAND, April 19 (TP)—
The U.S. Armed Forces will have
trouble filling their manpower
needs within 18 months, Maj.
Gen. Lewis B- Hershey said to
day.
The Selective Service chief was
in Cleveland to address a meet
ing of the National Petroleum
association.
Although at present draft calls
have' been lowered, Hershey told
a reporter, there will be a mili
tary manpower pinch because:
1. Babies 'born during the de
pression, when the birth rate fell
off, now are reaching the eligible
age of 19.
2. Some reservists are sched
uled for release -in September.
3. More demands for occupa
tional deferments are expected.

Kimbrough
Pleads For
Understanding
By MOYLAN MILLS
Emily Kimbrough, chic and so
phisticated in a dark-green off
-the-shoulder gown, last night
alternately panicked and en
thralled her Community forum
audience with humorous bio
graphical anecdotes and a fervent
plea for better understanding be
tween the United States and for
eign nations.
Coming unexpectedly toward
the end of Miss Kimbrough’s lec
ture,' after she had regaled the
audience with stories of her un
usual mishaps and inept re'marks,
the plea was tied in with a recent
visit to Europe.
Miss Kimbrough and Cornelia
Otis Skinner were repeating their
trip of “Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay’’ fame, this time accom
panied by their children. Seeing
the trouble which the children
had in communicating with the
French, even though they had
studied the language for 14 years,
Miss Kimbrough said she gave
serious thought to the problem.
She told of the desperate need
for young Americans in Europe
who can speak and understand
a foreign language. Many for
eigners come half-way to meet
Americans by being able to speak
our language, Miss Kimbrough
said.
She spoke of the time she met
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and asked
her how she was so successful in
dealing with foreigners. Mrs.
Roosevelt replied that she could
speak their language.
Miss Kimbrough said there is a
need in-the world today for great
er understanding between peo
ples. If Americans could get rid
of their “smug arrogance and pro
vincial ignorance” and realized
that they must meet foreigners
on their own ground, this under
standing might be increased,
Miss Kimbrough said.
Four To Attend
Novice Debate
Four members of the College
men’s debate team will leave this
afternoon for Duquesne univer
sity to participate in the Du
quesne Novice tournament to be
held tomorrow.
Gifford Phillips and John Ma
tase will debate the affirmative
and Jay Headley and Edward
Shanken will debate the nega
tive of the national intercolleg
iate debate question, “Resolved:
That the non-Communist nations
should form a new international
organization.”
■Thf four men are newcomers
Colle g e this year.
Most Eastern colleges will send
novice teams to the tournament.
A tournament champion will
be chosen after each team has
participated in four rounds of
debate.

A 17-gun salute, a 65-man color
guard, and a 50-piece Army band
welcomed the General as he step
ped from his Constellation at
9:25 p.m.
His flight from Washington
took less than an hour.
MacArthur talked with Mayor
Vincent Impellitteri and official
greeter Grover Whalen, and all
three men laughed heartily.
The five-star General’s big day
comes tomorrow, which is “Mac-
Arthur Day” for all New York. ,
City officials said perhaps
5,000,000 spectators will look on
as MacArthur’s motor cavalcade
snakes up and down Manhattan
island, while skyscraper walls
echo the roar of the multitude.
That would be the biggest crowd
ever for New York, and probably
anyplace else.
As a spectacle, the parade is
expected to top the historic wel
comes for Charles A. Lindbergh
in 1927 and Gen. Dwight D. Eis
enhower in 1945.
There were about 4,000,000
spectators on each of those occa-
Moreover, this is the first big
welcome on the television era.
As many as 30,0 00,000 Americans
in city and hamlet may watch
the parade and the other cere
monies. .
