New Record Set In
Channel Swim
DOVER, Eng. (JP)— Two Egyp
tian army officers and a French
swimming champion swam the
English Channel yesterday, two of
them in record time.
Plowing through rain and chop
py seas in a mass race sponsored
by a London newspaper, Hassan
Abd-El Rehim, 41, of Egypt, and
Roger Le Morvan, 26, of France,
‘broke the 24-year-old record of 11
hours and fice minutes set by an
other Frenchman, Georges Michel.
Rehim’s official time was 10
hours and 53 minutes. Morvan
-was 10 minutes behind Behim,
finishing the 19-mile course in 11
hours and three minutes. Rehim
wdrl- 1,000 pounds ($2,800) from
the London Daily Mail, sponsor of
the race, for finishing first: It was
his third successful channel swim.
\PLs he emerged ff’om the water,
the big six-footer declared: “I feel
very good. I'm not tired at all.
I'm ready to swim back.”
Third to finish was Mareeh
Hassan Hamad, 33, also of Egypt.
His time was 12 hours and 16
minutes.
The man who monopolizes the
conversation usually motonizes it.
NATIONAL GUARD
IS NOT DRAFT INSURANCE
John L. McCormick, Territorial
director of .selective service, an
nounced last week that enlistment
in the National Guard under cer
tain conditions is not draft insur
ance.
Young men without previous
military service who now join the
National Guard are still subject
to being drafted into the Armed
Forces.
Any youth between the ages of
19 and 25 inclusive, who joined
the guard since June 24, 1948, may
be called up the same as any Ci
vilian.
Recent talk has gotten abroad,
McCormick said; which gives the
erroneous impression that a mem
ber of the National Guard is
4*safer” from induction.
Only young men not subject* to
call are those with previous mili
tary service who acre deferrefd uii
der the present law, and those
who joined the1 guard prior to
June 24, 1948, and are still enlist
ed.

“Now children,” said the pri
mary teacher, “I want you to re
main still. So still you can hear a
pin drop.” For a moment silence
reigned, then suddenly, a boy in
the back of the room sang out:
“Okay, let ’er drop.”
