Army Wants Larger Draft
Washington — (UP)— The Army has recommended that draft calls be raised to about 35,000 a month starting in January, it was learned today.
The recommendation is now on the desk of assistant defense secretary John A. Hannah. Mr. Hannah, the defense department's manpower specialist, told a reporter he expects to reach a decision on the Army's proposals "within the next few weeks."
Draft calls have been running at the rate of 23,000 monthly since July. They are presently scheduled to continue at that rate until next July when they are due to jump to 45,000 a month.
The sharp jump in draft calls scheduled for next year stems from the heavy turnover of Army personnel every other year established by the 2-year draft term. The Army, which drafted large numbers of men in 1950 and 1952, now faces the problem of replacing some 50,000 men in 1954-55.
"Men with questions about selective service regulations, or wishing to notify their draft boards that they are in school are urged to see me," James H. Hitt, registrar, said today.
Mr. Hitt said that after they are registered for the draft men often forget it is their responsibility to keep their local draft board informed as to their whereabouts.
Kindergarten Art On Display in Strong
An exhibition of paintings by the Kindergarten of St. Marys, Kan., can now be seen in 332 Strong hall.
Done with large brushes, the paintings have abstract subjects. Teacher of the kindergarten art class is Mrs. Mary Alice Pamley.
Maud Elsworth, art education professor, said "The paintings show the early development of art expression in young children."

DODGERS Brooklyn—(U.P.)-The New York Yankees scored 1 run in the top of the fifth inning today to take a 1-0 lead in the third game of the World Series.
Billy Martin got the first hit off Dodger starter Carl Erskine to open the fifth. Phil Rizzuto followed with another infield hit and then Gil McDougall hit a liner to deep short that Billy Cox knocked down, but couldn't hold and Martin scooted home with the run.
The Dodgers, trailing the Yankees two games to none, were trying to keep their hopes alive today behind Carl Erskine, their 20-game winner who made such a dismal showing in the first game.
With the series scene shifting to Ebbets field, home of the National League champions, manager Chuck Dressen hoped his players would start pounding the ball the way they did in their home grounds throughout the season.
Casey Stengel, the Yankees' skipper, named his big righthander, Vic Raschi, in an effort to make it three wins in a row in the American League champions' drive for an unprecedented five series championships in a row.
While the Dodgers were favored 11 to 10 to win today's third game, played under ideal weather conditions, the Yankees were 3 to 1 favorites to go on and take the series.
Ed "Whitey" Ford of the Yankees and Billy Loes of the Dodgers were announced as the starting pitchers for Tomorrow's fourth game.
The University campanile and carillon, erected in memory of students who died in World War II, will be open to the public from 9:30 a.m., to noon tomorrow. Members of the KuKus, men's pep organization, will guide visitors.
