Most Young Men
Will Get Military
Service By Draft
WASNINGTON, (JP) — Govern
ment manpower experts said Sat
i urday that most young men from
18 through 22 during the next five
to ten years probably will have to
spend two or three years in mili
tary service.
This, they consider the most ac
ceptable way of meeting Presi
dent Truman’s request for a three
million man armed force on a
permanent basis.
Aequested legislation carrying
some details of the plan is expect
ed to reach Congress either at the
post-election session next month
or the new session early next
year. year. Congressional com
mittee staffs already are studying
the problem.
Without trying to forecast what
the lawmakers will do, top man
power experts, who ask to remain
anonymous, told a reporter that
these moves must take place:
1. The present draft or selective
service act must be overhauled on
a long range basis with minimum
terms of service for inductees ex
tended from the present 21 months
to at least 24 mouths.
2. Some power or authority
must be established to assure a
flow of slightly more than 1,000,
000 young men a year into the
regular armed forces.
3. A Universal Military Training
program also must be set up.
Top military leaders have ad
vised civilian and Congressional
planners that the various steps
could be enacted separately. But
they have suggested an overall ap
proach as the best solution.

Telephone Strike
Likely Nov. 9
NEW YORK. (/P) — A long
smouldering wage dispute in the
huge Bell Telephone system broke
out anew Friday night with the
threat of a coast-to-coast tele
phone strike Nov. 9.
Only 16,685 equipment workers
were involved directly, but they
have the full backing of their un
ion, the CIO Communications
Workers of America, which pledg
ed itself to honor the strikers’
picket lines.
The CWA represents most of
Bell’s 300,000 employees.
The main clash is between the
big union’s division G, with 10.000
workers, and the Western Electric
Co., the manufacturing and in
stalling subsidiary of the Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph
Co., parent Bell corporation.
The union has demanded a “sub
stantial” increase without nam
ing a figure, and has turned down
every offer made so far by the
company.
Ethel Vogen and family have
been in town this week from Tel
ler and visiting as guests of Mr.
and Mrs. H. Hagen.
