maintain a professional army to
police foreign countries and other
military duties so the trainees will
not be sent out OF the country. He
said that the purpose of such a
program was to insure adequate
manpower. well trained, in case of
another emergency.
Col. Cleary pointed out the three
phases OF a year of military train
ing as suggested by the Wa; De-
partment. First, basic training;
second. advanced training in some
specialized or technical field. and
third, a period of maneuvers. He
stated that our past history, par
ticularly our unpreparedness in
1910 illuminated the need for the
universal training.
We won't have the time in the
next emergency. if such arises, TO
build a machine such as the one
built after the declaration OF the
war just past, he said, also pointing
out that some people advocate,
spending that money which would
be used in training an auxiliary
army for further scientific research
as they are OF the opinion that
the next war will be fought with
push buttons. Col. Cleary states
that with this kind OF warfare We
will need increased manpower with
much higher specialization. Where
bombs cannot destroy, they cannot
take and hold"
Col Cleary does not advocate uni
versal military training on the basis
that It will make better and health
Ter citizens. There are other means
OF taking care of that he states.

Thirty : six Allied fighter planes
patrolled the Berlin sky throughout
the afternoon, and outgoing traffic
was suspended at the airport. The
fighter planes were Soviet P-39s,
American P-51s and British Spit
fires.
More than a dozen silver-hulled
C-54 transports arrived in the
course of the afternoon. The field
was guarded by elite troops of the
American, Russian and British
armies.
A 3O-room residence 10 minutes,
drive from the meeting place was
assigned President Truman's party.
The President ended 3,800-mlle
voyage from Newport News, Va.
in arriving at Antwerp. From that
bon1b-blasted city he made an hour
long, 3O-mile drive to Brussels
through lines of orderly but unde-
monstrative Belgians.
The Augusta tied up at her pier
in Antwerp at 1904 am, and the
President and members of his par
ty disembarked a little over an
hour later. There was no incident
to mar his stay in Belgium al
though elaborate precautions had
been taken in view of the country
