"The lights are going up again all over the free world and they are growihg brighter day by day," he declared in a message to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, Far East commander.

That is about 55 miles northeast of Seoul and 50 air miles inland from the east coast. It Was not clear whether the role was plugged later. Field dispatches were heavily censored.

They were cut off when the division was out flanked.

New Criticism Arises Over Mac Dismissal WASHINGTON, May I8—(JP)-The White House reported today that President Truman had been thinking about firing Gen. Douglas MacArthur only since last August—not for the past year as he said yesterday. But the White House statement failed to check a new Republican outburst of criticism over the ouster. GOP lawmakers who are studying the MacArthur dismissal said both publicly and privately the President's statement has opened up a new field. of inquiry. Want More Views They said Secretary of Defense Marshall and Gen. Omar N. Brad ley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of St'aff, had testified that only recent moves led to MacArthur's dismissal—but that the President said he had ' been considering it for months. A Democratic member of the Senate armed services and for eign relations committees—which are conducting the inquiry—told a newsman the presidential state ment undoubtedly will prolong the Asia policy hearings.

Bradley said today, depends on continued international co operation and a balanced buildup of air, sea, and ground forces. "We must not look for a quick solution which might provide se curity for the United States right now, but which would not pro vide security for us in the next 10 years, or the next 50 years," said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Overflow Crowd Gen. Bradley addressed an overflow crowd of 1,200 civic, military, and business leaders at a luncheon celebrating the sec ond anniversary of Armed Forces Week and the 25th annual World Trade Week. He urged that Americans "not become frustrated and discour aged and withdraw from inter national cooperation" because our allies sometimes are hesitant." The general said that inter national cooperation toward mu tual security through a collective defense, and a strategy that in cludes well-balanced forces of our own, is the only realistic and adequate course for our mobili zation to take. He said a program of universal military training and service aimed at an all-over force of 3,- 500,000 men is adequate. He said this will cost $60,000,000,000 to build and maintain the first year, and $35,000,000,000 annually after that. House Overrides Veto By Truman WASHINGTON, May 17 (1?)

Wiley (R-Wis.) released a letter in which he accused a ma jority of the inquiry group of condoning "cover up'•' tactics in the hearings. "It is the committee majority which has been partisan in its frantic desire to cover-up and white-wash," he said, adding that the way the inquiry is going it may wind up being considered "not only a white-wash but a wash-out." Collective Defen s e Congress Group OK's 18 1 / 2 Draft WASHINGTON, May 18—(JP)--A Senate-House conference committee today agreed to lower the draft age to 18 1 / 2 years and extend - the draft law until July 1, 1955. Originally, the Senate voted to lower the draft age to 18 and also approved UMT. The House set 18 1 / 2 for both active duty and UMT. Under the compromise, 18-year-olds could be inducted for training under UMT, if and when such a training system is set up. Few Calls - Chairman Russell (D-Ga.) of the Senate armed services com mittee and chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) of the House group said that despite the lower draft age they expect few if any youths under 19 will be called in - the next two or three years They explained that before any local draft board can take a man under 19, it must first exhaust all available men in the present 19-to-26 age pool. Register When 18 The compromise requires all young men to register when they reach 18 and requires local draft boards to classify them before they reached 18%. Classification includes physi cal. and mental tests. It usually takes about three months. The conferees reported agree ment on: • A 5,000,000-person ceiling for the combined Army, Navy, .Air Force and Marines. • Lower Slandarcis A lowering of physical and mental standards for acceptance of draftees, such as prevailed during World War 11. Vinson said this would make about 150,000 men previously rejected as 4-F's eligible for induction. The group also agreed that all persons entering- the armed ser vices for land duty must have at least four months basic training before they can be assigned out side th e continental United States.

Vets Enrollment Drop To Continue Next Year The enrollment of veterans this semester has dropped from 3154 to 2550 and is expected to drop more sharply next year. There are now 840 veterans who are seniors and only 79 who are freshman. The present vet eran enrollment is less than half of the record 5536 who attended classes on campus in the fall of 1948. Penn State began a veteran program in the ' spring of 1944 with two students. In the fall of 1945, 1187 veterans enrolled, and by 1948 they composed more than half of the student body. Since 1944, more than 14,000 of them have attended Penn State.
