Gen. Hagood believes thai weeks Of
effort that were formerly devoted to
teaching discipline, hygiene and the
rudimentS Of military drill can be dis
pensed with due to changed condi-
tions.
I'VE did not have to teach any Of
the recruits to drive the trucks that
draw the caissons. They were simply
told to Get up on that truck and
drive The recruits of the present
day has learned more about hygiene
and marching in school than some
soldiers ever learn. We found that
discipline was simple manner, that
they were anxious to follow instruc-
tions and learned faster than we had
planned to teach them," he said.

REPUBLICAN WOMEN
CANCEL MEETING
Session on December q Called
Off Because of Christmas
Holidays.

The semi-monthly meeting of the
League of Republican Women, sched-
uled for December 81, has been can
celed due to the Christmas holidays,
It was announced yesterday. The
group will hold its next meeting jan
uary II.
At last Fridays meeting at lunch
con in the Mayflower Hotel Carlton
MacVeagh, son of Charles MacVeagh,
Ambassador to Japan in the Coolidge
administration, was the speaker.
In his talk, MacVeagh struck out
vigorously against what he termed the
-four main theories behind the So
called thought of the New Deal-the
defeatist, the punitive, the Socialist
and the bureaucratic theories"-and
declared the election of 1886 is mot
an election, but a political crisis"
THE defeatist enviSage our country
as a static state, where youth is a
burden. and the great hope of Amer
lea will be stilled, not by temporary
setbacks for which solution is diff
cult to find, but by a general accept
ance of despair and popular decision
to cease striving" MacVeagh said.
But the share of employees in the
national income grew from 38 per cent
in 1880 to IS per cent in 1929. In
1882 it had increased 80 per cent.
Between 1922 and 1929, the boom
years, corporate profits never exceeded
4.8 per cent of gross income, while
real wages increased 1853 per cent"
The administrators gold and silver
buying program and agriculture pro-
gram MacVeagh cited as examples of
bureaucracy, dictatorship and per
sonal government"

HaeOOd Plan Turns Rockies
Into Soldiers In Three Weeks
World Var Methods Dis
cdrded and "FriIIs"
Trimmed.

Methods of training which failed
to turn a recruit into a doughboy
in from six months to a year during
the World War, are being rendered
obsolete by new methods developed
by Maj. Gen. johnson Hagood, COM
mander of the Sd Army and the
9th Corps Area, with headquarters
at Fort Sam Houston, San Anto-
Mo, Tex.
Gen. Hagood, here to testify be-
fore the House Military Affairs APP
preparations Committee, was chief Of
staff of Gen. Pershing's service Of
supply, which had supervision over
training camps in France during the
World War. During the past 10 years
he has devoted special attention to
training of the individual soldier,
but the recent increase in the size
of the Army has given him an oppor-
tunity to try out his program for the
first time with large groups.
Even during the last months of the
war, Gen. Hagood pointed out, Ameri-
can troops were being received in
France who had never fired a gun,
although they had had six months
and in some cases as much as year
of training in this country. The new
training program, which has come
to be known in Army circles as the
'Hagood" plan, aims to revise COM
pletely the antiquated training pro-
gram and develop soldiers who can
take the field at the end of about
three weeks of intensive work
In recent service test with two
batteries of the 18th Field Artillery,
a motorized unit, at Camp Bulls, near
Fort Sam Houston, each was as
signed one Regular Army and three
reserve officers, a cadre of "a trained
enlisted men and 100 recruits Sc
lected at random. The batteries were
organized into meSSes and clothed
the first day and started training the
second" Gen. Hagood explained.
"At the end of two weeks the bat
teries made an overnight march and
