THREE MONTHS
TOO SHORT FOR
ARMY TRAINING
w. w. Atterbury Would Ex-
tend the Time to Six
Months

Washington, Aug. 2S. - Provision
in legislation outlining the nations
permanent military policy for in
struction of officers in industrial op-
Grafton, appointment of only college
graduates to West Point, elimination
of the coast artillery as a separate
branch, and placing of the Marine
Corps under the War Departm ent
was suggested by w. w. Atterbury
vice president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, to the Senate military sub
committee. Mr.. Atterbury although
now returned to civil life, served
during the war as Brigadier Cen
eral in charge of rail transportation
and transportation at ports in
France.
Three months training of the
young men of the country under the
provision for universal service, Mr.
Atterbury regarded as too short a
period. He urged the extension OF
the time to six months and then reg
istration of the men after training
in the reserve with the obligation OF
appearing for maneuvers for two
years.
Approves General STAFF
Mr.. Atterbury's approval of the
existing general staff system. was
given frankly.
II would make it of the most con-
centrated character" he said, land
would give to it almost autocratic
power"
His suggestion that Army officers
be detailed to the factories and Of
fees of the country was a part OF
his criticism that the Army now
and as contemplated is lacking the
efficiency of the ordinary big busi-
ness concern.
my experience of two years with
the Army" he said, lis that a dol
lar means little or nothing to the
Army"
The suggestion regarding West
Point was based on the proposal in
the bill to cut down the term from
four to three years. Mr.. Atterbury
would cut it to two years and sc
change the course that little but mil
itary subjects be taught there with
the caoets who had been graduated
from the different colleges and uni
versities, making their course at
West Point something of a military
post graduate course.
