SCHOOLS AND
 MILITARY DRILL

Governor Dewey was right when he remarked in Philadelphia that deci- sion on questions of con- pulsory universal training for American youth must be postponed until after the war. Too many issues of uncertain outcome are involved for opinion to crystalline on that subject at this point.
 But it is a matter which the American people should be thinking about seriously, even now. We may as we'll be adjusting ourselves to the idea that we must maintain a large military establishment for many years after peace is restored.
 We shall need a large navy and a large profes- sional army. It cannot be

a shoestring army, such as we have been accustomed to in peace. It must be well equipped, and, to keep it's ranks filled, it must be well paid.
 But it should be a volun- teer army, and We should not count on maintaining it by the universal con- scription of American boys as they leave high school, for a year or for any period of compulsory service.
 Yet universal military training for the young men of the United States in some modified form may be advisable, after the ex- perience of this war. We have learned the import ance of training for physi- cal fitness. We have learn ed that the young man with some basic military training is better off, and worth more to his country, in a national emergency than one with no training at all.
 The solution may lie in some form of required mil itary training in connec- tion with the educational program itself, perhaps in connection with the educa- tional program itself, per- haps along lines of the mil itary instruction now re- Equired in many American

 Americans pride them selves that as a nation they pay their debts. We want a reputation among friends and enemies of settling the score, whether to repay a good deed or to avenge a wrong.
 Above all others there is one group that we would not want to think We had not fulfilled our obligation to them. They are the men who bought with their lives, their health and their freedom, time for us to build a war machine to keep the enemy from our shores. They are the men of Bataan and Corregidor.
 Our government now is combating signs of compla- cency, marked by falling off in projected production. Our workers are being ur- ged to reduce truancy from jobs, to put all they can in- to their work when they are on duty.
The Nome nugget., 1945-01-15

In this nation where ev- cry man may have his own opinion, even when at times it dangerous to the welfare of others, we may disagree with those who say the war is not nearing a conclusion in Europe. We may disagree with the warning that there months and months of work and blood and sacrifice ahead before victory is won.
 But there is one thing with which we cannot dis agree. That is, that for every month, for every week, for every day we de- lay the end of this war, we force men of Bataan and Corregidor to remain cap- tives of the Japs that much longer, we reduce their chances of survival.
 Already through the Red Cross channels of in- formation, word has filter ed tediously back of the deaths of many of the her. oes of the Philippines from malaria or malnutrition.
 No matter what we may think of the war situation, no matter how confident victories around the world may make us, let us think when we are tempted to let down that we are let ting down the men who held Bataan for four mon- ths and Corregidor for five.
 Had they not held on we would not be SO far al- ong in the war as we are, we might even have enemy troops on our shores, en- emy planes over our cities.
 The dead of Bataan and Corregidor we can only avenge, but the living we can rescue if we hurry.

Private Capital Must Fill
Housing Needs, Foley Saws

Raymond M. Foley, Federal Hous-
ing commissioner, said this week
that private enterprise is counted
on to provide the great bulk of
the Nations postwar housing needs. j
Estimating the volume at from
100000 to 100000 new houses a
year for 10 years, Mr.. Foley told a
luncheon meeting in New York:
But the public, with its great
need pressing upon it-now wants
to know, does private enterprise
propose to attack the whole housing
field or only some of the easier and
more quickly profitable parts there
of?'
Problem areas for the industry
Mr. Foley said, "are in the low-rent
market, in proper shelter for our
minority groups, in low-cost mass
market for home owners, in reha-
bilitation of existing houses, in rural
home betterment and country
homes, in urban redevelopment and
in the sphere of veteran aids"

Sewer Overlooking
In Bethesda Studied

An investigation of complaints oil

tions OF Bethesda is being made by
the Washington Sanitary Commits

County representative on the COM
mission, said today.
Preliminary investigations indi-
cate the condition was caused by

ways, depressed driveways or down.
spouts connected to the sanitary
sewers contrary to plumbing regu-
lationS, Mr.. Shaw said.
The sewers, MI. Shaw explained,
are adequate to carry the sewage
flow, but have not been designed for
storm water. These conditions, he
said. do not become apparent until
heavy rains occur.
The preliminary investigation, he
said, has not indicated any stop
pages in the sanitary sewers that
would retard the flow. However, he
added, the investigation will be con-
tinued and the necessary steps will
be taken 10 compel the removal of
connections to sanitary sewers which

When he was wounded in January,

About a week later, he recalled,
he received letter from the hos.

refund the money. He said he en-
listed the aid of the Service Aid

council that the hospital would in
