during the Korean War the Guard
was a sort of “draft-dodging”
haven.
No evidence has been produced
or can be, Walsh said, to. back up
“the extremely serious, slander
ous, and irresponsible charges
which have been levelled against
the National Guard.”
Walsh spoke out in strong terms
before a House Armed Forces
subcommittee.
Chairman Over ton Brooks (D-
La.) said Wilson has been invited
to appear before the subcommit
tee any day this week and “we
hope he will avail himself of this
invitation.”
Program to be Reviewed
The subcommittee is taking a
look at the Army’s six months re
serve training program and the
plan to apply it April 1 to all Na
tional Guard recruits who have
had no military training.
Whereas the Pentagon proposes
to require six months of active
duty for all new ground guards
men, the Guard'itself is willing to
accept this only for those above
18 years. It suggests 11 weeks
training for those 17 to 18& years
old—who make up some 65 .per
cent of the total. The subcommit
tee is expected to offer some kind
of compromise.
Guard Not Opposed
Walsh said the National Guard
isn’t opposed to six months of ac
tive duty for anybody if such a
training program is workable. All
commanders, he said, want as
much training for their men as
possible.
But guardsmen are civilians who
have to make a living or complete
an education, he said, and the
tern has to be integrated into their
lives.

Probe Ruins
For 71 Dead
- WARRENTON. Mo.. Feb. 18 ,'iP)
i—Searchers working in shifts
probed the steaming ruins of an
old folks nursing home today for
bodies of 71 patients who perished
in a flash fire.
Forty-two charred bodies had
been recovered. 26 hours after the
fast-spreading flames turned the
old brick structure into a fiery
death chamber in midafternoon
yesterday.
None Identified
! None of the dead had been iden
tified. Many were burned beyond
recognition.
The official list of dead or miss
ing mounted to 71 with the ad
dition of the name of Rose Daniels
of St. Louis. Her records had been
misplaced .when the original list
was compiled. The list included
44 women, 26 men and one girl,
all patients.
Tighter Regulations Demanded
The inferno yesterday at the
Katie Jane Memorial Home,
brought quick demands for tighter
state regulation of nursing homes.
Gov. James T. Blair Jr. ordered
an investigation and said he would
ask the State Legislature for a
better nursing home inspection
law. He called the present one
(“completely inadequate.”
