but has as consistently recommend
ed that the year include only partly
military training. The rest of the
time should be spent in civic activity
in each community, she said.
Possibility of a trip abroad, as
well as being of value educationally,
Mrs. Roosevelt continued, might add
to the interest the youngsters might
feel in their years service. Any
such program would depend for
complete success on the co-opera-
tion Of the boys and girls, she en-
phasized.
Asked if she had studied the
Wadsworth- Gurney bill for COM
pulsory military service, Mrs. Roose-
velt said she had heard it left most
of the decision on subject matter up
to the Chief Executive. Mrs. Roose-
velt said she would be opposed to
any training that had not been

If year Of compulsory military

to let the youngsters volunteer to
spend part of the time abroad with
the armies of occupation.
Il suppose it would be possible to
take basic training and then go
somewhere for a certain length of
time," Mrs. Roosevelt told her press
conference today. Asked if she were
advocating trips abroad for boys
and girls during the years training,
Mrs. Roosevelt said it did seem to
her such possibility should be
considered, especially since many
types of service and skills probably
will be needed by the military dur

She emphasized, however, that

announced the fall of Hochih, 95
miles west of Liuchow, in
Kwangsi Province, Southern
China, in the japanese sweep
toward Kweichow Province.
Persons arriving in Chungking
from Kweichow said all British ma
tionals in the province had been ad-

Hochih is only 20 miles from the
Kweichow border and 100 miles
southeast of Kweiyang, Burma road
town in Kweichow, from which the
invaders would be In position to
strike at Chungking.
Last Base Lost.
Loss of Hochih was announced
shortly after it was disclosed that
the last forward American airbase
in South China, fighter field at
Manning, had been destroyed and
abandoned by the United States 14th
Air Force.
There was general acceptance of
the japanese claim to the capture
Of Manning, although the high COM
mand still made no mention of the
enemy drive southwark toward
Indo-China.
1t seemed possible that the Chi
nese were handing out bad news in
small bits in order to avert panic
General uneasiness heightened de-
spite this, however.
The communique said the Japa-
nese by-passed Hawaiyuanchen, a
railroad town 43 miles east of Liu-
chow, to reach Hochih, and attacked
Chinese positions 5 miles west of
Hochih.
