WAR NOT OVER FOR BOYS

The war isn't over as far as the
thousands of boys who are still in
the Pacific and I'm Europe is con-
cerned." said Miss Louise Buckley,
USO, entertainer 10 the seventy
five men. and women heading up
the drive for the War Chest and
Ypsilanti Community Fund at Hotel
Huron this morning. These men
are faced with the same boredom
the same mud. the same lonesome
ness for home" she said
Miss Louise Buckley. who spoke
to the workers, played In one OF the
first theatrical casts to leave the
States. The play was over Twen-
to-one' and shows were produced
early in the war, in 1892 when the
men had not seen any entertain
ment from home. They played in
mud. they played when il was rain
ing on the stage and raining on .he
audience. New Guinea was the To-
cation of the Jungle Circuit.
The appreciation Of the men
came, she said for variety from
the hum-drum OF camp life, the
lonliness and the fears which came
with the uncertainties of the future.
There are no cities, no towns, no
buildings, except the ones they
have built" she said The budget
Of the USO is larger than before
because Army Special Services have
asked for a big program of shows.
Cost of meals at campaign meet
ings is covered by the voluntary
basket" collection which is taken
each time. Workers pay for their
food, make their own subscriptions
and then take time TO go out aud
ask support of worthy projects.
Such is the unselfishness shown
in the campaign" said Mr.. Quirk.
ITS hard to equal such a spirit"
Basil Wheeler, chairman OF the
Retail, Professional and Residential
section OF the campaign presided.
Paul Ungrodt emphasized the Inn
portance of making all of the calls,
Dan I. Quirk, head OF the cam
paign presented Miss Buckley as
well able to explain the value of
entertainment in the lives OF the
men in the service.
Rev. William Shaw said the inVo-
cation. In spite Of the early hour,
the room was filled and the pro-
gram carried through promptly.

TRUMAN ASKS Mill TARY PROGRAM
to
Train in
Reserve

Washington. oct. 23-AP-Presi-
dent Truman recommended today a
UNIVERSAL training program inyoly-
ing a year of military preparation
to provide a reserve OF manpower
TO presery future peace.
The President told joint session
of Congress that il alone could send
train -es under the UNIVERSAL train
ing program into the Army and
Navy and that If the time came
these trainees could be indicted
only by selective process. as they
were indicted for World War One
and World War Two"
THE great difference between
having UNIVERSAL training ard
having no training however," the
President declared. "is that IN
time OF emergency, those who
would be selected for actual mill
tary service would already have
been basically trained.
That difference may be as much
as a years time. That difference
may be the margin between tho
survival and the destruction of this
great nation"
The President recommended Gre
alton Of a postwar military organi-
cation containing the following
basic elements:
"First-A comparatively small TO-
gular Army, Navy and Marine
Corps;
"Second-A greatly strengthened
Natio nal Guard and organized re-
serve for the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps:
"Third-A general reserve COM
posed OF all the male citizens OF
the United States who have receiv-
ed training, available for rapid mo-
biliZation in time of emergency.
but II would have no obligation 10
serve, either in this country o.
abroad unless and until called ~
the services by an act OF the Con
gress"
The President recommended thrt
the training should be for one yeq
and that each young man should
enter training "either at the age
Of IS or upon his graduation FROM
high sehool-iwl whichever is later:
hut in any event before his c0th
birthday. --a~sv
A 1-.year old high school gradr-
ate also would be eligible to enter
training with his parents consen'.
Under the Presidents recon-
mendation. the trainee, upon cont
pletion OF the full years traininc.
would become a member of tie
genera reserve for a period of SIX
years After that. he would bc
placed in a secondary reserve
status"

build up an atmosphere for revolu.
ton by stimulating a popular rea-

you do that by presenting out
