0'i'I'AWA, July 30 - (Spec1g1)- Relaxatloli oi the present ultra- high educational standards for en- listments in Canada's armed ser- vices is expected here in event of U. N. Security Council asking Cur.- ada. for ground troops to fight in Korea. It is possible also that the extraordinary physical standards now required for admittance to Army. Navy and Air Force will also be lowered. -

R , for the impendin, drop in requirements is that with the pre- sent standards. Defence Depart- ment offlcials see difficulty in bringing even the existing active force units up to strength. Post- war requirements f the services. envisaged a Canadan Anny in which every man was potential of- ficer corps material.

It is new realized that this is only a peacetime fantasy and not practical on the outbreak of hos- tilities. Moreover, insistence on high standards for enlistments is admitted here to be following the principle of "survival of the least fit" in the event of Canada's forces being destined for ground

To Relax

Enlistment Standards

Force reject applicants for service unless they can produce diplomas showing that they have passed grad?! eight in ordinary Canadian "schools. Today this is a deterrent to eniiatrnents second only to phy- sical incapacity. In certain sec- tions of the country, such as parts of the Canadian West and New- foundland, proportion of young men who have passed grade sight is not large. It is pointed out also that in French-speaking sections of the country, recruits would not possess sufficient knowledge of English to be accepted into an army. whether American or United Nations, where the English lan- guage predominates.

Maintenance of present stand- ards. it is hence statedr would mean an undue drain of young men in provinces such- as Prince Edward Island where educational standards are high. It would also mean a scent levy for battle ser- vice in sections of the country where educational standards, are low or where English is not uni- versally spoken.

This Week May Decide Canadais Contribution To Korean gWar Effort .

OTTAWA, July 80 - (OP) This coming week may determine the extent of any further Canadian assistance to the United Nations fight in Korea.

It also may determine whether Parliament will be called for an off-session sitting.

The Cabinet will hold its regu- lar weekly meeting next Wednes- day and from that meeting may come the official word on whether Canada. will send ground troops to the Korean battle-lines,

This country already has con- tributed three warships to the naval fighting and a squadron of R.C.A.l.". transmit planes to the Korean airlift.

By Wednesday, Ottawa's explora- tions of the situation arising from troop offers by other countries may have come to a head. Government officials have been seeking details on what one high source called "several questions of some inter- est." Discussions are going on at U. N. headquarters and Ptobably in Washington, '

The aim of the explorations is to find out exactly what is going on, how many troops are being offer- ed, what sort of integration may be arranged and their relationship to the proposal within the UN. secretariat that the Security Coun- cil recruit an international force to serve in Korea.

v What Canada would do if the Gdverriment decided to provide ground troops for an international

ficial quarters say it is not a cer- tainty that such a decision would be made. ' '

U. S. BTI-I ARMY HEADQUART- ERS IN KOREA. July 3-1--(Monday) -(AP)-American lines have been withdrawn but are intact and "holding" east of Kochang, an Am- erican public information officer said today.

No further details were given re- garding what appears to be one of the Reds' two big current drives. The report also disclosed the 25th Division withdrew to stronger de- fensive terrain.

The withdrawal was described as "short." The division's 24th Regi- mental combat lieam was reported successfully repuiaing attacks in that sector. .

The 1st Cavalry was also under attack in the centre and on the left flank.

TOKYO. July 31-(Monday) - (AP)-Koreim Communists today launched on all-out drive to turn the southern flank of Allied de- fences in South -Korea". The Reds also appeared to -have blasted Ftheir way into the U. S.-South Korean anchor point on the cen- tral front in the north.

AP ..u..espondent Hal Boyle said Red infantry was advancing behind tanks and armored cars to- ward Chiniu in the south. Chiriju is 55 miles west of Pusan, the main U. 5. supply port, and the same distance southwest of Taegu, key communications centre behind the northern front.

The fall of l-iamchang, 50 miles northwest of Taegu, was not con- firmed offlclally but AP corres- pondent Tom Lambert reported it was set afire by Allied fighter planes. This was good indication the town, key to the bntlre northern defence system, had been occupied by the North Ko- reans. ,

Between Chinju and Humchang American troops counter-attacked at still another danger point where the Reds were trying to crack American defences and knife across between Taegu and the northern front.

Troops of the First Cavalry Division fought into Chirye Sun- day night, ran into a fresh Red attack and were ordered by Maj.- Gen. Hobart R. Gay to "counter- atfack the ericmlfi counterattack." Chii-ye is 32 miles west of To-egu.

Elsewhere along the curving mo-mile front, North Korean in- vaders hammered unremltiirigiy but failed to achieve .-i i decisive break-throughi

South Korean troops in the Yechon sector. extending eastward towards the east coast of Yong- dok. faced mounting pressure from the Communist forces.

The South Korean Bth Division was forced hack slightly as the result of a penetration -near An- dong, 18 miles east of Yechon. About 800 North Koreans denied the defending lines there.

While the defending American

forces stood to their positions under "defend or dis" orders. Gen. MacArthur's headquarters in

Tokyo estimated the North Kc- rean Communists-through "fran- tic" mobilization-have built up their invasion army to 200.000 men in an effort for a quick knockout.

An informed headquarters offl- cer told the AP that the North Koreans will have to obtain their battle decision "in two days."

He said this is due to the build- up in American strength and the reduction of Communist striking power.

The headquarters officer ex- pressed confidence the -BP'”ST' for- ces can turn back ihe enemy thrust.
