 American Youth Best
 "And personally I think military training brings out the best in youth. It makes you respect su- periors, appreciate your home and parents, and awakens you to the importance of being fine citizen But emphasize this: think the American boy is far superior to the youth of other nations and I've seen @ lot of them"
 Mrs. Richard Grant. housewife, 14O South Main street:
 T firmly believe in the measure All other countries will be prepared for defense. and we must be, too. Our shortsighted policy led us into two bloody world wars which proved we've got to have 6 strong military force. Furthermore, military train- ing will benefit the youth of our country. I never saw e young man who didn't improve in every way in serv!te
 Should Guarantee Jobs
 But do think they should con- tinue to stress vocational education and guarantee the boys a job when they get out"
 It. William Powell, hOnorably discharged Air Corps navigator. insurance man:
 I'm definitely in favor of military training because its absolutely es- sential to Americas security. Amer lea forgets very easily, and five or six years from now, our military forces will be cut down in orler to reduce taxes. Then the aggressors will start making war again and we'll And ourselves completely u::- prepared as we have during the past two world wars.
 T do not think compulsory train- ing will interrupt the lives of our youth, whether they intend to work or continue their education. On the contrary, the discipline, contacts, and various phases of service will broaden their viewpoint, and de- velop them into better citizens and better men,"
 Maj. Anthony BrOdy, hOnorably discharged from armOred forces, 9 months overseas; home, Water town:
 Compulsory training Is the surest safeguard to 6 lasting peace. We can't possibly afford to drop or de- crease our military strength. AS one of the first reserve officers to enter active duty from this area, I believe the military strength of other countries Is the first consid- eration of the warmongers.

NCOtlLlTuSQ ItOLII SdBS U training that 1t did at one point during the war.
 The greatest uneasiness among military men is for the years to come when they believe we must be in a position to discourage att tack if we are to enjoy national safety. The more immediate con- sideration is our relative significance in the world as society adjusts It. self to peace.
 Suggestions that the universal military training recommendation was months late do not Imply any criticism of MT. Truman. On the contrary, 1t is likely that the Presi- dents recommendations to Congress yesterday went further than most military men had dared hope.
 But among senior officers of the armed services there was an anxious feeling that we should have adopted a strong and definite policy on post war national defense before this.
 Tough Shedding
 As long ago as last June IS Q parade of Army and Navy men ap- peared before the House Postwar Military Committee. Gen. George c. Marshall, Army Chief of Stan, told the committee that adoption of a universal military training pro- gram was an immediate matter of urgent necessity" Marshall chooses his words carefully. When he says something is immediate and urgent he means 1t requires atten- ton right now. That was four months ago.
 Republican attitude was repre- sented by the proposal of Rep. Jos eph w. Martin of Massachusetts that an international agreement to abolish peacetime conscription should be negotiated as "a mighty step toward the goal Of permanent peace"

certainty that should the election Dc taking place next fall instead Of this year 1t might be preceded by Q spirited and controversial cam. paign. Next year the sting of taxes may be penetrating and the ugly head of unemployment may be leer- ing at us once more. People will have settled to the honey routine Of local. affairs to Q greater degree than capable of now under the present conditions of Q globaI hang over. Then. too, the factor of a gervicemen'g ticket will have to be considered.
 Some predict that this years to- tal vote won't reach the 10000 mark. While this seems low out Of . total registration approximating Hi 900, t ig possible. On the other hand. some Of these same predictors are claiming that Mayor Monagan will defeat his opponent, Raymond Snyder, by as many aS 5000 to 5000 votes. The latter hardly seems likely # Q light vote is cast, as such as rec suit will affect the Democrats chances rather than the Repub. Ilcang'.
 About Oss rev voters have been made here to date this year, but t has been anticipated that ap- proximateIy 1000 may be dropped from the lists because of deaths, removal of families and many war workers who registered here and now have left for home.

At best, at this time, local issues gre not even big frogs in the small pond that is Waterbury. It might be called an "off.seasoii" election year.
 To date it seems dlspirited even on the part Of contestants. Yet 1t is usually in the final ten days pre- ceding elections that Waterbiiry's campaigns get real hot. It Is much easier to keep the public attention for only ten days than for Q period of preceding weeks.

De GouIIe Back in Paris
After Tour in kormondy

PARIS, June II Up. - Gen
Charles de Gaulle returned to Paris
today from a Normandy trip which
was intended as routine inspection
tour of devastated towns and which
developed into a spectacular per-
sonal triumph.
The trip seemed to indicate. first
that Gen. de Gaulle has gained
rather than lost backing with the
mass of the French people in the
year since he returned to France
and second, that the French people
apparently are in full agreement
with his foreign policy, despite the
humiliation which arose from the
Syrian crisis.
Gen. de Gaulle was mobbed wher-
ever he halted along a route which
led him from Caen through Bayeux
and st. Lo and dozens Of small vii
lages. In one small town the people
tried to drag him from his car. At
Alencon, where he spoke, thousands
filled the great square beneath the
city hall balcony.
