Navy To Call Enlisted Reserves In 1951
Washington, Nov. 1—(U.P.)The navy announced plans today to call up 31,000 enlisted reserves and an undisclosed number of reserve officers during the first half of 1951.
After that, it said, 5,000 enlisted reservists will be put on active duty each month.
Of the 31,000 enlisted men to be mobilized from January through June, about half will be petty officers and half non-rated personnel in pay grade E-3 or in pay grades E-1 and E-2 who have had at least six months prior active duty.
Officers to be called will be chiefly general duty officers with ranks of lieutenant commanders and below. They are needed for sea duty. Few, if any, aviators or ground aviation specialists are to be mobilized.
The navy stressed that it does not plan to rely on the draft to get its manpower. Its recruiting programs, "coupled with untrained naval reserve personnel," should supply enough men, it said.

Indian Note To Red China
New Delhi, Nov. 1—(U.P.)-India sent a second note to Communist China today expressing "disappointment" at the Chinese reply to India's protest against the Red invasion of Tibet.
A government spokesman said the new note reaffirmed India's position. The original Indian note expressed "regret and surprise" at the invasion order and said the question of Tibet's sovereignty should be settled peaceably.
Informed sources said China's reply, received yesterday, asserted Chinese troops entered Tibet to thwart "military intervention by foreign powers." It said the Communists still had "peaceful" intentions toward Tibet.
Pope May Name Cardinals
Vatican City, Nov. 1 (U.P.)—Church quarters speculated today that Pope Pius XII will call a consistory on the occasion of the Roman Catholic Holy year to bring the College of Cardinals to full strength.
These sources said the "most probable" cities where new cardinals would be created, if the Pope decides to do so at this time, are Boston, St. Louis and Quebec. They said San Francisco is another possible choice.
The college, whose full complement should be 70 Princes of the Church, now has only 53. The college is never at full strength because of the deaths of cardinals.

M.D. Clubb To Describe Grand Canyon Hiking
How it feels to hike and camp alone in the Grand Canyon for weeks at a time will be described Thursday evening, Nov. 2, by Dr. Merrell D. Clubb, professor of English. He will give an illustrated talk, "Backpacking Through the Grand Canyon," at the University club at 8 p.m. Members may bring guests, said Prof. Elmer F. Beth, lectures chairman and host.
The Havasupai tribe of Indians, who have dwelt for at least 400 years in a "pocketed" Utopia known as Cataract Canyon, have been visited by Dr. Clubb three times. He took some colored pictures in the hidden valley last summer.
For more than 10 years Dr. Clubb has spent most of his summer vacations exploring on foot the 5,000 square miles of canyons, cliffs, plateaus, and gorges which make up the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. His family has been with him on some of the trips, but he has hiked, climbed, and camped alone in the canyon for weeks at a time. He is a photography hobbyist and has taken pictures in many parts of the canyon which probably have never been photographed "close up" by anybody else. Dr. Clubb will show the pictures to illustrate his talk. Many are in color.
"Iimagine a slightly-built professor of Old and Middle English doing things like that!" exclaimed Professor Beth. "He sleeps on the ground in uninhabited areas where snakes are not uncommon, and yet he carries no weapon. For more than a week at a time he 'lives out of a pack' which he carries on his back. His solitary adventures call for courage, resourcefulness, and self-confidence which one associates with a football coach or a geology field expert rather than with a professor who teaches the interrelation of the arts."
Dr. Clubb joined the University faculty as professor of English and chairman of the department in 1946. He had taught at Miami and Texas Christian universities and at Oklahoma A. & M college. He received a Ph. D. degree at Yale in 1924.
Architect Tells Students Of Professional Problems

Germ Warfare Easy,' Metcalf
"In bacteriological warfare, once the technical problems are overcome, a minimum of effort can produce devastating effects." Dr. Theodore Metcalf, instructor in the department of bacteriology, told members of the Zoology club Thursday, Oct. 26.
America became interested in biological warfare in 1942, when Camp Detrick was established in cooperation with Canada and the United Kingdom. More than 20 million dollars went into permanent installations, laboratories, and subsidiary stations were built in all three countries.
"Two weeks later, a plague broke out and there was no explanation for what had been the cause of it."
"I'm not allowed to give any details," Dr. Metcalf said, "but during the war in China, some Japanese planes dropped something on a southern Chinese town."
He said that first rumors about experiments in substituting bombs and shells with biological agents like bacteria came to the ears of American scientists in 1940 from Germany. Using Jews and other "political enemies" as human guinea pigs, Nazi scientists observed the effect of bacteria on the human organism and the possibilities of this as a biological weapon for warfare.
Dr. Metcalf said that the main problems in producing effective bacteriological bombs are: The growing of huge quantities of bacteria, the problem of keeping them "alive" during transportation, and the problem of the construction of a bomb.
He said that after VJ-Day, evidence had been found that Japanese scientists had dealt with the same items the Nazis had tried to solve.
"There is almost no protection against these vaccines and bacteria," he said. "They could be brought into country very easily in many ways."
The purpose of these installations was research and development of biological weapons, both for protection and for offensive use.
Dr. Metcalf's opinion is that the only way to avoid bacteriological warfare is for America to have more effective bombs.

Speaking on "Contemporary Building and Problems of Builder and Architect Relations," Mr. Drummond pointed out the obstacles encountered in designing, building and selling modern houses.
"The builder presents his idea to the architect and lets him develop it," Mr. Drummond said. The architect is fee to use any design he wishes as long as it is suitable and comes to within $100 to $200 of the contractor's estimated cost of the house. The types of materials used are also determined by the architect.
Before starting to build, the contractor must figure the amount of capital available and how much he is willing to put into the project. He can find the market for the house he is going to build and analyze the taste of the market. That is, he has to find out what kind of a house the customer wants.
"If you want to make money in this business, you have to keep selling your houses. You have to build for the customer."
Mr. Drummond also pointed out that in order to keep the down payments low enough for the customer the house must be built so as to get the maximum amount of financing from the Federal Housing administration, the Veterans Administration loan office, the Home Finance corporation and the insurance companies.
"The work of the architect is greatly affected by this. He has to design the house to suit the contractor, to suit the customer, and to suit the loan men."
In order to present an accurate picture of what an architect must do to meet these obligations, Mr. Drummond cited a case of an architect working six months designing one house and submitting 14 plans before his design was accepted.
