UMT Poses Tough Problem For
¥ . .
Coming Congressional Session
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—DBattIe lines are now
being drawn for the showdown which is coming up
early in the second session of the 82nd Congress on
universal military training.
Proponents of the measure feel that the time has
never been more ripe to get a UMT plan on the
books. Most people, they reason, now believe that
§f the U. 8. had had such a program after World
War H the effects of Korea would not have been
nearly s¢ severe a jolt and that the country would
have been far more ready for it.
Proponents feel that much of the organized re
sistance so it from church, educational and pacifist
groups, labor unions and women’s clubs crumbled
in view of the long outlook for tension with Soviet
Russia,
In spite of this outlook, however, UMT is far
fronr being a dead cinch for passage. First, it's going
to be a presidential election year. And a tremen
dous block of voters, mostly among the nation’s
mothers, are against any wuniversal training pro
grams. This will make many congressmen think
twice before voting for it.
And the traditional opposition against it is not as
disorganized as is thought, A questionnaire sent out
by the American Legion several months after the
start of the Korean fighting to all of the groups
who had opposed universal military training bills
before Congress before Korea shows only a small
change of sentiment.
LABOR GROUPS AGAINST
Such strong labor organizations as the Brother
kuod of Railroad Trainmen and the International
Association of Machinists voiced their continued
ebjections to UMT.
So did semre of the more outspoken women'’s
grups, such as the National Women’s Christian
Temperance Union. The Friends Committee, the
Quaker group, reaffirmed their stand against it.
All these organizations, politically powerful or
ganizetions when taken all together, will make their
voices heard again. And congressmen will continue
to listen.
The biggest break in the ranks of the opposition
is among educational organizations. Even before
Korea the important National Education Associa
tion gave up their traditional stand against UMT
in a resolutionr saying that the organiaztion thought
it was up to Congress to decide whether or not the
gountry needed it.
Many individual leading educators have also not
only reversed themselves on wuniversal military
training but are now actively supporting it.
In faet, one of the authors of the plan which
Congress will have to consider is a leading educa
sor, Dr. Karl T. Compton, chairman of the board of
the Massachusetts Institute of &'echnology.
By and large UMT proponents have taken heart
from current favorable conditions for its passage
and plan to redouble efforts to sell it to the people.
The American Legion, for one, will launch a full
dress eampaign. The former national commander of
the Legion, Erle Cocke, who devoted most of his
administration in the Legion to selling UMT, has
been appointed a speical assistant to Anna Rosen
berg im the Department of Defense to help sell
Congress on the plan.
IT'S A PEACE-TIME PLAN
1t the Korean fighting has stopped and the inter
national situation gets no worse than it is right now
the chence for passage of the UMT plan will be
best.
UMT is essentially a peace-time plan. It drains
off the supply of young men, and, according to plan
under consideration, gives them six months train
ing. These youths cannot go into combat.
If the Korean fighting goes on unabated and the
chances of war elsewhere appear greater than they
are the need for more regular men in the servics
will inerease,
This will nrean that there probably will not be
enough men available for any UMT program’s start.
The young men will all have to be drafted.
Based on the present outlook, if the plan is
passed by Congress this session a small program
fnvolving only 60,000 boys will be started next sum=
mer.
The plan under consideration is the one drawn
up under direct authority of Congress itself. It was
prepared by the National Security Training Com
mission, a group set up especially for that purpose.
The law which set up the commission also says
shat bills covering the commission’s recommenda
tions must be reported out of the military commit«
%ees of both houses within 45 legislative days aftet
Congress eonivenes in January.
The role of the architect lies between that of
she plumber and the sculptor, but seldom midway.
M (the sculptor) . . . is an esthetic snow, he will
get as close to the sculptor as he can. If . . . he is
#n inverted snob . . . close to the plumber.—Osbert
Lancaster, British architecture critic,

An Air Force "Voted' Is Far
. .
From An Air Force In Being
When President Truman’s budget appears in
January, it is expected to call for a 143-group air
force, substantially greater than the presently au
thorized 95 groups.
There is little doubt that Congress will author
ize this new goal. But it is important for the Am
erican public to remember that, for a long time, it
will be only a goal, not a reality. The people dare
not slip into a mood of complacency induced by the
thought that the votes of Congress have automat=
ically assured them a great striking air arm.
The way is long between the establishment of
goals and the delivery of finished aircraft for op
erational use, General Bradley, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently reminded that “six
to nine years are required to design, test and pro
duce aircraft which can survive and win in mod=-
ern aerial combat.”
Thirty-one of the planned additional 48 groups
would be combat wings. Of the 31, some 20 are
scheduled as either tactical aircraft or fighters,
fighter-bombers and light bombers. Strategic
bombers like the B-47 and B-52 jets, plus sonre
reconnaissance units, would make up the other 11
wings.
The B-47 is in production but is not yet available
for operational use. Bottlenecks and certain me
chanical “bugs” have delayed deliveries. This air
craft is heavily relied on by the Strategic Air Com=
mand, especially since the Korean war has indi
cated the vulnerability of motor-driven planes like
the B-29 and B-36 to jet interceptors in daylight
raids.
The huge B-52 thus far has been produced only
in prototype, and is only now beginning to undergo
tests. It will be many months before this ship can
be delivered in quantity, assuming it proves out in
test.
The United States has several fighter planes of
which it is reasonably proud. But the superior
qualities of the Russian MlG’s, demonstrated in
Korea, show that we must push ahead swiftly to
develop new and even better types.
Right now we do not have anything resembling
a real tactical force. The projected expansion in
this phase of military aviation is perhaps the most
vital envisioned. But, ineyitably, nruch experimemi
in plane types and opemtlnal techniques will have
to accompany any increase in tactical activity.
On top of all the normal lags that can be antici
pated in developing new planes, today we face
certain special handicaps which magnify our dif
ficulties. Materials, tools and aviation industry
manpower are short. Particularly is there pressing
need for more engineers and technicians. Even if
we should have settled on all the major plane types
we want, bottlenecks might easily delay realization
of our goals for years.
There is no occasion for gloom. We are making
progress. But neither is there any occasion for glib
assumptions that Congress in 1952 is going to equip
us magically with a giant air force of crushing
power, If it voted the Air Force SIOO billion it still
could not do this.
Give These Show Folk A Great
Big Hand
Stars of the entertainment world have tradi
tionally given generously of their time and toil to
bring cheer to America’s fighting men on many
fronts. But that is no reason why we should take
their efforts for granted.
This year some 65 Broadway and Hollywood
show folk have volunteered to forego their own
Christmas holiday time with their families to ven~
ture abroad an dentertain the thousands of U, S.
Servicemen who won't be home for Christmas.
Under the auspices of USO-Camp Shows, they
will visit some 15 different foreign places and all
the most isolated military bases within the U. S. as
well. Many will be giving up their busiest and
most remunerative time of the year at home.
These open-hearted people deserve th country’s
warmest gratitude. We like ot think that their
spirit of sacrifice is characteristically American
Political Extremes
British journalists don’t know any more about
the future of politics in their country than Ameri
cans do at home. At a meeting with leading Lon
don editors, a group of American newspapermen
got widely differing predictions.
One extreme was that if the Churchill govern
ment should decide to go to the polls again next
spring, it would win a majority of 100 seats, instead
of the present 26. The other extreme was that the
Conservatives couldn’t possibly hold together for a
year,
The Conservative mrembers of Parliament were
characterized as “corporation directors who couldn’t
possibly work together, and wouldn’t work together
if it was necessary to transact any government bus
iness before it was time to pass the port.”
The men and women striving for freedom desper
ately need our aid. . . . In exchange we have a
right to ask of them their maximum effort in the
common cause. But, we must, ourselves, put for
ward our own maximum effort, whatever the cost.
What would it profit any nation to hoard its sub
stance and lose its freedom?—Cordell Hull, former
Secretary of State.
We don’t have to match our enemies man for
mal. We aren’t going to dance with thenr—Robert
A Jovett, Secretary of Defense.

Santa And The Magic Mirror
SYNOPSIS: There were seven
Horrible Hoblins, each very ugly
to look at. Yet, they treated the
children kindly and made them
welcome. But, alas, they could not
tell Belinda and Tommy what had
changed them into kind, peace
loving giants. During the night,
Belinda and Tommy go in search
of some water. As they approach
a room, they hear one of the giants
coming down the hall, a scowl on
his face. He goes into a room and
when he comes out a moment
later, he is all smiles. “Hah!” cries
Belinda, “I'm sure the secret is in
that room.”
Chapter 12 [
THE MIRROR g
Belinda was sure the closed
room held the secret which would
explain why the giants — once so
mean were now so kind. .
But when the chgdren entered
‘the room they found it was com
pletely bare. There were no chairs,
table, rugs, or shelves. There was
not even a picture on the wall! |
“Here is something,” said Tom- |
my suddenly. “Is it a picture or a
mirror or what?”
It was a strange milky glass
‘hanging by the window. It was
cracked and bumpy and it nrust
‘have been a mirror because it
couldn’t possibly have been a pic~
ture.
Belinda tried to reach the glass
with her fingers but it hung far
above her. She jumped at it with
outstreched hands but it was no
use. Finally she boosted Tommy
to her shoulders. He was just able
to lift the glass from the wall.
The two children gazed at the
strange mirror in puzzled silence.
| Finally Belinda said, “I must
l have been wrong. There's nothing
1 mysterious or secret here.”
“Listen,” said Tommy. “Some=-
one is coming!”
“Quick,” said Belinda, “Hang it
back.”
She boosted Tomnry up again
but try as he would he could not
reach the nail. The giant's steps
‘ were coming closer.
| “Give it to me!” whispered Be=
| linda. “I'll put it under my sweat-=
‘ er until we can get something to
stand on.”

“Nothing here to amuse you,”

Dear Friends:—
At this season of the year one’s thoughts are of those who
are nearest and dearest to his heart. Stationed in the i 35
cold and snowy mountains of this war torn country at this
Christmas time my thoughts are of home, my family
and friends. |
To write each one of whom | have been thinking, would
require much more of my time than the Armed Services
would permit. Therefore, may | take this method of
wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a
Prosperous and Happy New Year. L
Naturally we men of the Armed Forces hope and pray the
peace talks will so end that Peace on Earth, Good Will
towards Men will be a reality.
Sincerely, :

enough of it.”
Before Belinda could move Wal
ter leaned forward and yanked
her hair. It wasn’t a playful tug at
all. It was meant to hurt and it
did. Belinda cried out in astonish
ment. She tried to move to the
front door but she faced a fear
ful sight.
The giants were now, in truth,
Horrible Hoblins. They leaped
around the children. They pushed
and tripped them. They backed
them against the staircase. There
‘was no where to go except up.
- Tommy zand Belinda fled up the
stairs. They ran down. twisting
corridors anad through room after
roonr in the great castle, The
giants pounded after them but
their great size slowed them, -
The children ducked into a bed
room and crawled under a bed.
They lay there trying to catch
their breath as the giants hunted
for them. Presently Belinda felt
something pressing against her
chest. It was the mirror she had
hidden under her sweater. She
pulled it out and gaged at it,
“Oh, heavens!” she moaned. “It
must be that they are angry about
this! They thought I stole it.” But,
said Tommy, “why didn’t they say
s 0? Why didn’'t they ask for it?
Who could have thought it so val
uable?”
Belinda scrambled from under
the bed. “I'll give it back at once!”
She rushed into the long hall out
side the kedroom. She saw the
giants down the far end.
“Here’s our mirror!” she cried.
“I didn’t mrean—"
But the giants were not listen
ing. They bellowed at her. They
leaned over and picked up the
end of the long rug that ran the
length of the hall. They gave the
rug a mighty yank.
Belinda, standing on the o{{xpo
site end, was thrown to the floor,
‘The mirror flew from her hands,
crashed against the wall and
splintered into a thousand pieces.
