to bring about an immedi. ate cessation of smoke or

evacuation of the dynamite wrecked island.

The shooting down of an American carrier-based attack bomber southwest of Tachen had added new tension to the explosive situation here. American officers were still predicting no Communist intervention, but they were taking no chances.

COMPULSORY SERVICE

London, Feb. 9. Communist China recently switched from a policy of voluntary military service for young men to compulsory military service, the New China News Agency said today.

The Communist broadcast, monitored in London, said regulations for the selection and training of officers "are made in line with the change in the country's military service from a voluntary to a compulsory basis?""

The News Agency said the officer requirements and training also were being changed "in order to further the building up of the Chinese People's Liberation Army as a modem regular army."

Details of the requirements for 14 different military ranks, ranging up through "Marshal of the People's Republic of China" were included in the broadcast along with plans for solving

organisational problems."

The broadcast said the rank

of "Supreme Marshal" would be "Kiven to the Supreme
