Israeli Convoy Ordered Through Arab Resistance 6,000 Boys Join National Guard To Avoidfirait Organization Sets Total Membership At 22,500 Men ALBANY, (jf) A pre-draft rush into the military reserves brought the New York national guard about 6,000 new men in 10 days. That was "considerably more than expected," a spokesman for the guard said yesterday. The organization's strength increased, officials estimated, from 16,500 to 22,500, or 10,000 short of a goal previously set for next year. Final reports have not come in from the 92 armories in the state. former Lackawanna Service Commission Officials Cleared LACKAWANNA, (JP) Four former Lackawanna city civil service commission officials were cleared last night of criminal indictment alleging irregulaiities in city civil service.

By James M. Long CAIRO, The Israeli government, given the United Nations i green light to push a convoy through Egyptian resistance, says it has told its general staff to take I "suitable" action. Its announcement was made in Tel Aviv last i after a U.N. spokesman and Jewish leaders said the Egyptians early yesterday- stopped a Jewish convoy bound for Negeb desert settlements in southern Palestine and shot at a white U.N. truce-mission plane piloted by an American.

To Take Action The communique said the Israeli government would take action "in a manner and at a time and place which its general staff will deem suitable." Jewish authorities were told by the U. N. truce mission yesterday they were "free to act as they thought ill" in Hie n-iattor. Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmoud Fahmy Nokrashy Pasha told i newsmen in Cairo last night his government would reply today to protests on both incidents sub! mitted by Count Folke Bernadotte, i U.N. mediator.

i Nokrashy Pasha said an Egypti ian pilot fired on the U.N. aircraft I because "ho suspected it was an i enemy plane." Jewish army headquarters in Haifa said last night Jews had clashed i Arab units at El Birwa, inflicting 100 casualties." U.N. truce observers are investigating. clamped the lid on guard enlistments yesterday. Draft-age- men, 19 to 25, i.ad been able to escape conscription by enlisting in reserve units before President Truman signed the draft bill Thursday.

Supplies 12 Per Cent New York traditionally supplies 12 per cent of the nation's manpower under selective service, so a first year quota of 24,000 to 27,000 men is probable. Actual drafting may begin in three months. Col. William H. Boughton, director of the Office of Selective Service records here, said 52 per cent of the state's quota would come from New York City.

The metropolitan-area contributed 60 per cent of the new guard recruits, Camp Smith headquarters estimated. The trend was indicated in a comment from Col. Charles E. Walsh, chief of staff of the 27th Division at Albany. His command signed 122 men last week, and previously, "if we got four people a week we were lucky," Walsh said.
