Pentagon Backs Vinson Plan
.
Fora Volunteer UMT Unit
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — (NEA) — Universal Military
Training plans have taken a new tack with House
Armed Services Chairman Carl Vinson’s plan for a
voluntary UMT of 60,000 men. If approved, it
would start this fall.
Major General Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Ser
vice director, and Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, assistant
Defense sectetary in charge of manpower problems
had presented other plans for getting UMT started.
But the Pentagon has now decided to back the
Vinson plan.
First, the Vinson plan could be started without
additional cost, that is, within the presently planned
ssl billion defense budget.
Second, it would not affect preggnt draft quotas
from men 182 to 26 years of age. Only 18-year
olds would volunteer for the six-month UMT train
ing.
Third, this small beginning would permit the
Department of Defense to build up UMT gradually,
gaining necessary experience as it went along.
Opposition to the whole idea of UMT remains
pretty much what it always has been. Church
groups are against it, and they constitute the most
effective opposition., Labor union and farm organ
ization leaders are against it.
Educational leaders are against it for a variety of
reasons. Some want the job done as part of the reg
ular educatioanal system.
Others are opposed to any peace-time interrup
tion in the educational process. But an American
Council of Education meeting in Washington was
unable to agree on any stand to take against pend
ing UMT plans,
NOT EXPECTED TO BE POLITICAL ISSUE
All the veterans’ organizations and patriotic
societies are for UMT. And it is not a political
issue, except as individual candidates have taken
stands for or against it. Both Republican and Dem
ocratic leaders have supported UMT for many
years,
Public opinion polls show majorities favor the
UMT idea. It is not expected to be debated widely
cduring the coming Presidential and Congressional
campaigns, ’
The whole question now is how to meet military
requirements from available nranpower resources,
while at the same time a new long range national
defense plan is put into operation.
Coupled with the UMT legislation is a new mili
tary reserve bill which must also be enacted to
make UMT fully effective.
It may take six or seven years to get UMT in
full operation. By '1960, every qualified young man
would be required to serve his six months in UMT.
He would then go into the reserves for seven and a
half years, at age 26.
When these UMT reserves are built up to neces
sary strength, it is believed the size of the regular
peace-time military establishment can be reduced.
Military budgets can then be cut proportionately.
That is the long range objective. g
Military leaders nray be over-optimistic in their
estimates that they will be able to take these UMT
graduates and whip them into combat divisions
within three to six months after an emergency call
up of the reserves.
But this is the target which military leaders are
shooting at.
Costs of training each UMT man for six months
are estimated at $2,700. Since the armed services
now spend about SII,OOO per man per year, savings
would be considerable.
Of course, if the six-months’ training was found
to be inadequate, legislation might be introduced to
lengthen the period. This “foot in the door” ap
proach is what bothers many UMT critics,
BILDUP MUST BE GRADUAL
It is impossible to start UMT at full strength this
year or for several yearg to come. There aren't
enough young men reaching age 18 to fill UMT and
also meet draft require ~ents for a three and a half
millio man armed force. .
Two year service for over a million 1950 draftées
expires this year. They have to be replaced by new
drafts or volunteers. .
Selective Service Administration estimates the
number of boys reaching 13 this year at 1,108,000,
an average of 90,000 a month,
From a third to a half of this number is rejected
for physical disability or for occupational and edu
cational deferments.
The number of boys reaching 18 this year is lower
than would normally be expected because of the
low birth rate in the depression year 1934.
The number reaching 18 will incerase by 20,000
to 50,000 a year until 1958, when it is expected to
reach 1,500,0006. These will be the boys who were
born in 1940,
The great question in religion has been, during
my lifetime and back of that for several thousand
years—do you believe in God? The great question
of future religion will be—do you believe in man?

Airlines’ Bad Weather Flight
M ceive Rigid Inspection
ust Receive Rigid Inspect
The nation’s airlines have an overall safety rec
ord which stands up well with any other form of
public transport.
So there is no need, in the light of recent air
crashes, to make spectacular cry for an exhaustive
inquiry into all phases of air safety.
But in two of these mishaps, both in the New
York area, there appeared to be certain elements
of a pattern.
The American Airlines’ plane which crashed in
Elizabeth, N. J., and the Northeast Airlines’ craft
which plunged into the East River were each mak
ing touchy approaches to metropolitan airports un
der adverse weather conditions.
In each instance, the circunrstances surrounding
the crash were sufficiently puzzling as to call into
question some government regulations governing
bad-weather landings.
And it would also seem in order to conduct more
routine investigation of the effectiveness of radio
and radar landing aids.
The Northeast plane, coming into LaGuardia
Field on Long Island, was employing neither of the
established landing aids—the radio beam which is
supposed to keep a ship on course and on the proper
glide path, or the radar-controlled approach direct
ed by voice from the airport tower.
But it was being monitored by the airport radar
scope and was receiving advisory reports on its
position, Everything seemed to be satisfactory when
the plane suddenly disappeared from the radar
screen, :
It was at this point it plunged into the water, a
scant distance from the field.
The story was much the samre over Elizabeth.
The American Airlines’ craft was being monitored
by radar, and was also using the radio beam called
Instrument Landing System.
The tower advised the pilot he was to the left of
course, but gradually the ship was brought back on
course. Then suddenly it veered simply to the right
and went off the screen.
Moments afterward it struck buildings in the
city's heart,
The fact that other planes employing these elec
tronic aids landed safely at Newark airport before
and after this crash suggests the devices were not
at fault. But aviation authorities .acknowledge that
accidental interference with these aids has occur
red, and the possibility of their temporary failure
cannot yet be ruled out.
If inquiry should establish that interference with
their effective operation is fairly frequent, then
federal regulations may have to be revised to insure
greater safety in bad-weather approaches.
As it is, the CAA allows landings when visibility
is three-quarters of a mile and the ceiling at 300
‘feet. This is not too much margin when the briefest
slip may spell disaster.
In the end the blame in each instance may fall
on failure of an engine or some other part of the
plane itself.
But in these days of one and a half to three min
ute headway in landings and take-offs at our big>
gest airports, we must leave no doubt that opera
tions under adverse conditions are governed with
the most extreme care,

Who's In Whose Shoes Now?
U. S. diplomats have peen made increasingly
aware, recently, that the position of American
leaders and western Europeon leaders has been
almost comrpletely reversed since 1939.
In those pre-Hitler days, Europeans were doing
their best to convince the United States that -the
world was in great danger from the threat of
Nazism. ~
Today it's the United States that is in the lead,
trying to convince the rest of the world of the dan
ger of communism. And it's the Europeans who
aren't buying. At least they're reluctant to pay the
necessary price,
Nothing can-be more fatai than the feeling “war
is bound to come—let’s get it over.” War is not a
way out from danger and strain. It's a way down
inte a pit—of unknown depth.—B. H. Liddell Hart,
British military analyst.
Stalin does not want a “hot war,” but he does
want, or does need, “cold war.” It is one of the pil
lars of his regime.-—W. N. Ewer, British lecturer,
writer,
The American people are infornred about the
dangers from the left, but sometimes our tendencies
toward conservatism cause us not to notice the
danger from the right.—Rodney Chip, of New York |
State Teachers Association, 1

What we want is a man for President . . . a civ- :
ilidn. We are tired of the stupid tyyranny of the
Pendergast-Pentagon combination. (A good Repub- ‘
lican would not) hide behind a boiled shirt or a
brass-bedecked uniform to conduct his campaign.— i
W. O. Hughes, state representative from Indiana. l
In order to keep morally fit, human nature needs
to be kept in training by some devil or other; andl
our Western world today is having this indispensa
ble, though very disagreeable service performed
for her by Russia.—Arnold Toynbee, historian.
Britain .*. . refuses to join . . . the European’
army and the Schuman plan for pooling coal and |
steel. For the British there is Parliament, then |
nothing, then still nothing, then God.—Paul Rey

they gathered together a learned
group of specialists to address the
meetings.
These specialists revealed that
while much progress has been
made in accomplishing conserva
tion measures and bringing the
urgent need for such measures to
the public attention, complete
success can only be claimed when
each of us assumes his share of
the responsibility for the establish
ment of a permanent agriculture at
the level of its highest potential,
Dr. Jonathan Forman, who presid
ed, pointed out to the conference.
Every citizen must see to it that
every inch of soil in these United
States is treated according t o its
need and used fully according to
its capabilities. Each of us must
come to the appreciation that pro
duction is the key to survival; that
the wise use of renewable natural
resources that are in our hands
will bring bigger profits than any
system of exploitation. Each of us
can take an interest in the work
of our Congress to find an effect
ive way to deal with these prob
lems and can keep our representa
tives and senators advised of our
considered judgment.
We here in the United States are
among the fortunate few in the
world today who live where what
ever a person thinks is important.
In the broader sense — our people,
in the exercise of their demcratic
rights, still make decisions which
determine their future welfare. It
is important that they make wise
decisions.
Our people can make wise de
cisionsg only if they are imformed.
Their judgment can be no better
than their information. Reforms
can be made by governmental re
gimentation and by compulsion—
but this is not the American and
democratic way. The democratic
way is no understand the situation
and to cooperate in demanding and
carrying out reforms. To secure
these deep and lasting reforms we
must inform the public—and thus
the Friends of the Land and such
societies whose aim is to inform
the public.
Friends of the Land has been
from the beginning trying with
every means at its command to
develop an active understanding
and interest on the part of all of
the people in not only those prob
lems concerning the wise use of

From this interest, we are sure,
will flow a sound policy as re
gards conservation of our renew
able, natural resources. To create
this interest, our officers and mem
bers have been extremely busy on
the public platform, on the air, in

logical thinking about what shall
