council vice president, said in a
statement:
"The opposition to CONSUMPTION
on the part of college administra-
tors is not due to any fear as to the
effect upon the college, the opposi-
tion is due primarily to the fear OF
what universal military training will
do in regimenting the minds of our
youth"
Replies to the councils ques-
tionnaire on military training, DR..
Brumbaugh said, came from 1,196
presidents of institutions of higher
learning, representing II per cent of
the total number in the United
States.
Asked whether the decision should
be made now or later on peacetime
universal military training, II per
cent favored action only after
peace; 10 per cent favor action now,
and 4 per cent are uncertain.
On the desirability of universal
military training at all, At per cent

it, II per cent were uncertain and

Edward T. McCaffrey, national COM
mander of the Catholic War Veter-

'By their own admission and an

Army admits it has more men under
arms than are needed"
Even when the time arrives for
full rehabilitation, and for some
years thereafter, the great proper

Peucetime Draft

Morning and afternoon sessions

told reporters, to give opponents and

The War and Navy Departments
are stoutly backing the proposal,
which also has the approval of the
American Legion, except for isolated
posts. Spearheading the opposition
are educational and religious groups,
although some will testify in its be-
half.
Unless members change their
minds, the Woodrum committee will
recommend the principle of COM

be adopted to build up reserve of
trained men adequate to protect the
Nation in any future emergency.
The alternative to a peacetime

Major argument of opponents
centers around the contention that

While there is no specific legisla-

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
and high CIO official tangled to-
day over pending trade legislation
which would authorize the President
to cut tariff rates another so. per
cent.
James B. Carey, secretary treas
urer Of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations, held out for the ad-
ministration's reciprocal trade agree
ment extender without qualification.
Senator Taft, leader Of the coali-
tion against it, ridiculed Mr.. Carey's
contention that the additional rate
cutting authority would enhance
domestic prosperity without causing
any industrial casualties.
Testifying before the Senate

ing up its hearings on the House.
approved bill, Mr.. Carey estimated
a 5000, ,000, 100000 annual national
income would be necessary to main
tain full employment after the war,
and declared foreign trade must be
expanded to attain that figure.
Trade Expansion Seen.
An expansion to double or triple
1910 exports is possible "if tariff
barriers are reduced" he said.
Senator Taft said it seemed evi-
dent from previous testimony that
some industries, such as Watchmak-
ing, believe they face extinction If
the tariff is cut further. Mr.. Carey
retorted that the pending legisla-
ton is Just an enabling act" and
that suitable reciprocal trade agree
ments would be negotiated by the
President and the State Depart
ment.
Senator Taft replied:
I'VE can't pass the buck In my
opinion, We would be just as re-
sponsible for the reductions if we
passed this bill as we would be If
we ordered the direct reductions
ourselves"
The CIO official rejoined that the
present trade law had been on the
books II years "and not single,
solitary industry or plant has failed
because of it."
Hearings May End Today.
The committee expects to COM
plete hearings today, Senate Ma
jority Leader Barkley said this
morning after the weekly legislative
conference of Democratic leaders
with President Truman.
Asked about the measures pros
poets, Mr.. Barkley said that they
would be right close in the COM
mittee" on the section permitting
the President to cut tariffs as much
as so per cent, but he expressed the
hope it would get by all right.
Accompanying Senator Barley
were Speaker Rayburn, Senator Nc
Keuar of Tennessee, President pro
tenn of the Senate, and House Ma
jority Leader Mccormack.
Mr.. Rayburn said they talked
about the Breton Woods agreement

to extend OPA.
