Praised as Great
Feeders Of Army
Gen. Richardson Speoks
At Banquet; Convention
Will Close Today

The three-day convention of the
Association of Military Colleges and
Schools of the United States was
to close at the Mayflower Hotel
today with discussions of ethics, its
constitution and the problems of
public relations.
Last night with high naval and
military chiefs and members of Con-
gress as guests the association held
its annual banquet at the hotel.
Maj. Gen. Robert C. Richardson, jr.,
head of the Publicity Bureau of the
War Department, discussed the
change in the Army from a volun-
tary career army to a peoples
army" as result of Selective
Service.
Gen. Richardson praised the mill
tary schools and colleges as great
feeders" of the Army.
Admiral c. w. Nimitz, chief of the
Bureau of Navigation of the Navy
Department, suggested that the as
sociation ask Congress to double
the number of appointments now
available to graduates of honor"
schools and the Naval R. o. T. c.
units. He said he felt the present
20 is inadequate.
Col. r. L. Jackson. president of
the association, told the guests the

Of the softening influences in mod
ern life.
Yesterday afternoon the associa-
ton heard Roy Helton, poet and
author, lament the feminism of
modern culture in this country
which he said has softened the
people. The American people are
not now able to stand the hard
ships that the Greeks and British
are undergoing, he said.
DR.. w. A. Sinner, national Sec
retary of Phi Beta Kappa, said
much of the cynicism and pacifism
of some college students is due to
a superficial high school education
which takes up the social sciences
without adequate basing in funda-
mentalS.
