ENLISTMENTS JUMP AFTER TRUCE Army sources said recently that in the first month |! 4 Russian satellite. But the might pull him toward the Rus- after the signing of the Korean truce enlistments increas- ed 75 per cent above the average for the twelve preced- ing months. While it is still too early to know whether the enlistments will remain up, indications are that the truce will stimulate enlistments. During the month in which final truce negotiations were in progress, enlistments were also up over the aver- age of the past twelve months, If the trend continues, it may have an effect on the number of men drafted each! month. Recently draft calls have been running at about 23,- 000 a month. Enlistments have averaged about 6,600 per month for the past year. In the month of July 27-August 27, however, enlistments jumped to 11,600. These figures pertain to the Army alone. The Air Force, Navy and Ma- rines have a backlog of men who are ready to sign up. The Air Force has limited its quota to about 3,500 enlistees a month since May, but intends to increase its quota to about 10,000 by the end of 1953. The Navy has been enlisting about 4,000 a month and also has a back-! log of about 30,000 waiting to enlist. Marine enlistments have been running about normal, and the Corps also has a backlog of men waiting to enlist.| Thus, it appears that Army service is becoming more ap- pealing now that the fighting has stopped in Korea. It must be admitted that the Army has borne the brunt of the worst fighting and most of the casualties. Possibly the reason for the increased enlistments in the Army is the fact that the shooting has stopped and an enlistee’s chance of survival is improved. Enlistees now have an excellent chance to get foreign duty, either in Europe, Asia or in various parts of the world, without having to face the possibility of Korean combat—a pros- pect which naturally has not proved an inviting one. There are few rules for success that improve on “pay cash” for what you buy. ° : Anyone can have friends if he sets as his goal in life being a “regular fellow.” Why do show people drool so much complimentary slush about each other in introductions? The football hero might not know it, but he will] never gain an equal esteem in life after college. Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 1, Location 5. Stake for roasting meat 9. Fasten 12. Variety of cabbage 13.

The crisis began last Thursday when the United States and Bri- \tain said they’d pull their troops ,out of Trieste, let the Italians take jover part of it. Trieste is both a city and an city is a port on the Adriatic Sea and so a prize. The population, mainly in the city itself, is around 350,000. About 85,000 are Slevs, the Test Italians. An ancient city, long tied in with Italy, Trieste in the 14th century Placed itself under Austrian pro- tection and remained part of the Austrian dominion, with the excep- tion of a few years in the Napole- onic period, until 1918. When Austria was defeated in World War I, the Western Allies awarded Trieste to Italy, which jheld it until World War II. Then Italy in turn, this time a German ally, was defeated. Tito, who had fought the Axis and whose own Yugoslavia was created in part out of the old Aus- trian Empire which had held Tri- este so long, claimed it for Yugo- slavia. Yugoslavia was Communist and |at that time, the end of World War | {Western Powers wanted to keep \Italy friendly to them and in their camp. A Trieste compromise was worked out in the Italian Peace Treaty of 1947: Yugoslav troops |would occupy part of Trieste, lealled Zone B; the British and jAmerican allies would occupy the |rest of the territory, called Zone |A, including the city. This was to be a temporary ar-| Tangement until the United Na-| tions picked a neutral governor for) Trieste, which would then become) a free territory under the U. N. But Russia and the Western na- jtions could never agree on a gov- ernor. The result: American and Brit- ish troops continued to occupy Zone A; Yugoslavs held Zone B.

Busy Thief Caught, | | SAN FRANCISCO —The busi- \est burglar in San Francisco is now out of business. Police arrested Wallace L. Skaggs, 26, at his hotel room. They said he admitted breaking into 19 homes and stealing about $5,000 worth of furs, clothing, jewelry, ra- dios, typewriters, luggage and} jelectrical appliances in the past six weeks. Skaggs met his downfall when he was spotted carrying a televis- ion set from the home of Thomas \McKeon, a retired policeman, This situation dragged along until 1948. By then relations with Rus- sia bad become an open, although cold, war. Yugoslavia at that time was still junder Russia’s wing. But the Ital- lian elections were coming up.

Thus, when a Miami newspaper's repre- sentative writes: “The city man- jager’s job at $6,200 per year, is a rich political plum, . .,” there is a good chance that many read- ers will automatically turn against the City Manager form of govern- ment. I admire the commissioners who recommended a permanent status for Vie Lang. They couldn’t have hoped to gain much politically be- cause Lang’s strength at the polls is neither more nor less than} yours and nine - namely, one vote. | The present City Manager isn’t aj local boy and he doesn’t have a} lot of family to call upon. There- fore, the commissioners who want him to remain on the job certainly could not be acting merely on a} Political basis. In Key West, our candidates for office seem to always base their race on one proposition - they are either “for” or “agin” Bernie} Papy. Excuse the language but 1 can’t help saying that to allow such) a situation to exist is one hellavu| note. Bernie, an astute politician, has neatly side-stepped responsibil- ity for what goes on in our City government, I can’t say that I blame him because it must get mighty tiresome always being ac-| |cused of manipulating City politics.| | At any rate, Papy - although he ‘has indicated he favors a City!
