Tough in Army
1 • : ; • v .* .
., WASHINGTON, i&) — The
Army has made it mighty hard
for a draftee private to rise be
yond buck sergeant in a normal
two year tour of duty.
Headquarters announced Satur
day that for personnel outside the
Korean combat theater it is
lengthening the time an individ
ual must serve in each grade be
fore he may be promoted.
The minimum amount of serv
ice required of a private first
class before he may advance to
corporal is, in effect, being tripled
and a sergeant first class now
may have to remain in that grade
at least six times as long as for
merly required, before moving up
to master sergeant
Army sources said it may take
at least 28 months for the average
draftee to graduate from private
to sergeant, as against a possible
minimum of 10 months hereto
fore. It would take 40 months, al
together, to go the whole way
from private to master sergeant.
Luxury; Liner Lurline *
Mussel-Bqund Six Hours
LOS ANGELES, .(£>)—A mussel
bound, lubcury Imer was six hfours
late sailing far Hawaii Friday
night.
Scheduled to depart at 4 p.m.,
the Lurline had to drop anchor
in the outer harbor while crews
finished clearing an accumulation
of mussels from its plumbing sys
tem.
Officials said the mussels, a
form of marine life, invaded while
the Lurline was tied up at San
Francisco during the two - month
maritime strike.
This represents a fairly effec
tive barrier for the individual
draftee of 24 months of service.
The reason, said the Army, is
that there are not enough pro
motions to go around. The solu
tion is to make the few promo
tions that are available harder to
get.
Back of all this are budget re
strictions which make it impos
sible for the Army to be gener
ous in promotions — and pay
raises — to officers and enlisted
men.

Staff Officers Agree On
Most of Wording Of
Korean Armistice Draft
MUNSAN, (JP)—U.N. and Com
munist staff officers Monday
agreed on most of the wording in
a proposed Korean armistice draft
including a paragraph dealing
with exchange of war prisoners.
The number of prisoners to be
exchanged still is blocking a
truce.
A U. N. Command spokesman
said staff officers still must work
out an acceptable translation of
the words “Korea” and “United
Nations” for the armistice draft.
City Council Fires
Fairbanks City Manager
FAIRBANKS, </P) — Fairbanks
is in the market for a new city
manager after the ouster of Evan
Peterson.
City couricilmen stood firm Sat
urday in their decision to ask
Peterson’s resignation. The action
was taken last Monday and pro
tested by more than 200 residents
at a stormy meeting Thursday.
The council blamed Peterson
for what it said was failure of
the city to make progress on a
program of street paving and
utility improvement.
Ketchikan Police Chief
Quits Because of “Too
Much Interference”
KETCHIKAN, (/P)—C. E. Han
son, Ketchikan police chief for the
past 10 months, resigned Friday
to return to Portland, Ore., where
he formerly was a police officer.
Hanson said in the announce
ment of his resignation that too
many members of the city council
had criticized the operation of his
department. He also said there
had been “too much interference
by the public.” He did not elab
orate.
His predecessor, Walter Carter,
gave similar reasons when he re
signed.
