'ew UMT Legislation May Get
0K If Put Up To Congress Now
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. —(NEA)—With a White House
¢ Torsement expected soon, the heéat will be on
+ lin to get a Universal Military Training bill
t *ough Congress. As the plan stands now, the idea
1 il be to give about 800,000 18-year-old boys six
1 nths of basic military training outside the armed
¢ ices, then another six months of inactive train
i
st of this whole program has been estimated at
= out $1,500,000,000 a year, Proponents of univer=
s . military training add that this is equal 'to one
w-~'"'s cost of the last shooting war. Since UMT is
p-coented as a great national defense measure, to
speed up mobilization, the argument is that it would
be a good buy, if not an actual economy.
The last Gallup poll on UMT showed 72 percent
of those questioned favoring it, 12 percent opposed
a~4 16 percent with no opinicn. This was over a
vear ago. It is believed that the Korean war would
un this support percentage, if a poll were taken
tc.ay. ‘
Up to now, Congress has never had any enthus
i~ 1 for UMT. But until recently, Congress never
I 1 any enthusiasm for a peacetime draft, either,
", -es have changed. And with the UMT issue again
| “iag shoved to the front, it's important to know
v at it involves.
The new legislation that has been drafted to put
UMT into effect is designed to overcome most of
the objections that have been raised to it in the
past. . ;
CHOICE OF SERVICES FOR BASIC TRAINING
It starts off with the declaration that every man
in the United States owes his country an obligation
to undergo military training to protect it in time of
emergency.
A National Security Training Corps would be
¢ -ated, Each trainee would be paid S3O a month,
1 1s transportation, food, clothing, equipment and
1 =dical care. Dependency allowances would also be
1 :id at the rate of SSO a month for one dependent,
§ ) a month for two or more dependents.
On reaching the age of 17, every U. S. male
would be required to register with his local Selec~
tive Service Board. These local boards could grant
deferments. If a registrant was in high school, he
could be deferred until his graduation. But no de
ferments could ba granted beyond age 26. Other
defernrents could be granted for extreme hardship,
physical or mental disability.
Each registrant would be given a choice of taking
Army, Navy or Air Force training within quota
limits. Conscientfous objectors would be given op
tional mon-combatant training, No one would be
¢ llowed to furnish a substitute nor buy an exempt
ion from training,
TYPES OF INACTIVE DUTY
Basic training would continue for six months,
After that time the trainee would go on inactive
duty for an additional six months, Eleven types of
inactive duty are specified:
1. Further training with the NSTC. 2. Voluntary
enlistment in the regular military services. 3, En
listment in National Guard or Organized Reserve
for specified times. 4. Enlistment in the Enlisted
Reserve Corps and assignmeent to a unit. 5. Admis
sion to West Point, Annapolis, or the Coast Guard
academy. 6. Enroliment for Naval or Marine Corps
officer training, 7. Entrance on a college course
which will include Reserve Officer training. 8. Ad
mission to a Merchant Marine academy. 9. Pursu
ance of a prescribed technical course and agree
ment to accept a reserve commission. 10. Enlist
ment in the Volunteer Reserves, with agreement to
take one month’s training per year for six years. 11,
Alternative training in such national defense pro
grams &s may be later established,
Instruction of trainees would be by officers of
the regular defense services, at camps and bases
< ssignated by the President, near the trainees’
1 ymes, It would be unlawful to keep houses of ill
Zame, brothels, bawdy houses or places of enter
tainment which are publie nuisances near any
training camps. Sale or giving of intoxicating liquor
to any trainee would be made unlawful.
The whole program would be run by a National
Security Training Commission of three members,
two of them civilians and one a military man. The
commigsion would have an advisory board mrade up
of from 10 to 25 members, to help shape policies,
and provide for high moral, religious, recreational
and educational training, along with military train
ing A strict code of military justice would be pre
seribed to protect the rights of the trainees,
On eompletion of their courses, trainees would be
sabject to call for actlve service until they reached

Democracy Wasn't Intended To
Promoleylts Own Destruction
The nation’s courts have always been prime
guarantors of our democratic freedoms. And the
rise of world-wide communism has put them to
their severest test in performing that protective
job.
The basic questions: How much freedom should
a Communist have to speak when his declared aim
is to set up a system that denies free speech? How
long should he be permitted use of democracy’s
privileges to promote the destruction of democracy?
At what peint must he be stopped?
These issues were perfectly posed in last year's
trial of the 11 top U. S, Communist leaders. Under
the so-called Smith Act, the 11 were convicted of
conspiring to teach and advocate the overthrow of
this government by force and violence.
Naturally the convicted men, with their standard
tactic of exploiting freedom in order to subvert if,
appealed to a higher court. And mow we'v heard
from a federal appeals tribunal on the case. The
ruling is that the convictions stand, and the Smith
Act is constitutional.
The 11 Reds of course will seek a Supreme Court
decision, but meantime it's worth noting how the
appealed to a higher court. And now we’ve heard
nrunism,
For some time the courts have been guided by
the rule that the promoting of subversion must
represent a “clear and present danger” before we
can step in to halt it. As applied in the past, that
has meant riot and disorder at risk to government
had virtually to be a fact before anything could be
done.
Plainly such an outlook doesn't fit these days of
global communism directed from Moscow. Amer
ica’s Communists are no innocent political party.
They're conspirators serving the aims of Russia,
rigidly disciplined to that purpose. The leaders’
trial disclosed specific programrs of sabotage and
revolution being plotted continuously by party
members under Soviet guidance., |
To wait until the eve of the carrying out of these
plans would be to court disaster, “Clear and pres
ent danger” thus mnarrowly defined would be a
mockery.
Fortunately the U. S. appeals court recognized
this, It labeled the 11 leaders’ conspiracy a clear
and present danger even though war or revolution
was not actually at hand when their subversive
acts were committed in 1948.
And the judges sought to demolish the idea that
a government can't move to protect itself so long as
forcible overthrow is not undertaken but is merely
taught or urged. “Obviously,” said the court, “one
cannot teach and advocate the use of violence with
out specifically intending to bring about its use.”
By its ruling this court has admirably adapted
established law to fit the perils of 1950, It has tried
to make the judieciary into an instrument capable of
dealing with the Communists’ calculated warping
of freedom to their own ends. Such efforts preserve
for the courts their vital role in American life.

G.l.'s In Korea Aren't Playing
Beanbag
Senater Wherry, Republican floor leader: thinks
Congress may be breaking the law by sticking
around Washington these days. v .
He notes that the Congressional Reorganization
Act states that the House and Senate must adjourn
by July 31 each year, except in case of war, nat
ional emergency or special provision by Congress
to keep going. &
We don’t think it'll take a new law to give the
aura of legality to the present*proceedings on Cap
itol Hill, Admittedly Congress hasn't declared war.
But very likely the boys who -are fighting and
dying in Korea will accept “national emergency” as
a reasonable substitute of what they're going
through. .
Boards of Education, administrative officers and
teachers are neither dumb nor disloyal. They can
best deal with the rare school employe who joins
the Communist cause.—Dr, John K. Norton, chair
man, Teachers College, Columbia University,
We hope we have acted in the cause of peace .. .
there is no other reason for the action we have
taken.—President Truman, on Korean conflict.
We've got a rattlesnake by the tail and the
sooner we pound .its damm head in, the better.—
Charles Eaton, Republican on House Foreign Af
fairs Committee, on Korean Communists.
A girl does not lose dignity by silence. She loses
it by talking for the obvious purpose of just saying
something.—Actress Jane Wyman,
Despite any military steps of obstruction taken
by the U. S. government, the Chinese people are
irrevocably determined to liberate Taiwan (Formo
sa).—Chou En-Lai, foreign minister of the Peiping
regime,
I would gladly give up the proposal for national
health insurance . . . if someone would conre along
with a better way to do the job.—President Tru
man,
American Communists dread exposure and iden
tification by ecompulsory registration like a kid
naper dreads the FBI. — Senator Karl E. Mundt
(R.-S.D.), speaking for his Communist-control bill.

and the ehronic simple type. The
acute mm w o&flm
ple between the ages of 35 lnz 70,
and is somewhat more common
among women than men.
The most characteristic sign is
increased pressure within the eye
itself. This leads to a hardening of
the eyeball, The exact cause is
not known. 3
An attack usually begins with
severe pain in one eye, slight
swelling of the eyelids with water
ing of the eye and infection of the
eyeball which looks like a general
inflammation of the eye. There is,
of course, great loss of vision and
the increased hardness of the eye
ball can usually be felt easily. The
pain is extremely severe and often
is felt all through the head. The
hardness of the eye is caused by
blockage of the flow of fluids with~
in the eye so that liquid accumu
lates in the eyeball.
All From Same Condition
The other types of glaucoma are
really different stages of the same
condition. Absolute glaucoma, for
example, is the final stage of a
glaucoma whicH has failed to yield
to treatment. In this type, medi
cines are not of value and surgery
is necessary.
Eye specialists also recognize
secondary glaucomas which are
not caused directly to blockage
of the fluid drainage but to some
other disease process either in an
other part of the eye or elsewhere
in the body.
Because of its great danger to
sight, glaucoma is a disease which
must not be neglected. Each pa
tient must have the special care
which his particular case demands.
Failure to follow advice or to con
tinue conscientiously with the
medicines of other treatment rec
ommended may result in blindness.
Treatment should be begun just as
soon as possible.
