850.000 Youths
Yearly Would Get
Military Training
WASHINGTON. (aP)—Army and
navy plans to train 850,000 teen
age youths annually if Congress
approved universal military train
ing legislation were outlined today
to a House armed services sub
committee.
The leadoff witness for the
armed forces. Lt. Gen. Lawton
Collins, emphasized that the army
would approach the program from
a “strictly military” standpoint.
He estimated that every year
1.200.000 youths attain the age of
18, the minimum for training un
der the proposed law which the
committee is considering. Of these,
he said, statistics indicate that
200.000 would be unsuitable for
military training and 150.000
would volunteer in the army or
the navy.
Of the remaining H5U.UUU. he
said, the army would train 618,000
and the navy 182,000. Trainees
would be given the option, within
limits, of taking their six-months
training course in the army
ground or air forces, the navy or
the marine corps.
Present plans call for quarterly
induction schedules.
'The sub-committee expects to
complete its hearings this week
and report on the bill to the full
committee next week.
Backers of the legislation are
planning to put the full commit
tee on record in favor of the pro
posal even though it cannot reach
the House or Senate at this ses
sion.

Truman’s Will Be
“Veto” Reigu
WASHINGTON, </P) — Republi
1 can national chairman Carroll.
Reece issued a statement saying
apparently President Truman is
determined that his White House
tenure “Shall go down in history
as the ‘veto’ administration." *
"And you can spell it either
‘Veto" or ‘Vito’ without doing vio
lence to the facts,’ Reece said.
"Once more Mr. Veto in the White
House has followed the party line
drawn in Congress by Vito Mar
cantonio.
j <Vito Marcantonio is the Ameri
can labor party representative in
the House from New York).
I "It will be quite satisfactory
from the Republican standpoint to
1 have Mr. Truman campaign next
year for a fifth term for the n6w
deal with the slogan, ‘Relief for
everyone but the American tax
I payer.’ Nevertheless, national in
terests should be put ahead of po
litical considerations," Reece con
i tinned.
