Woodr1m said hearings on
postwar military training prob
ably will last two months. He
added that his committee has
been deluged with communica-
tons opposing or supporting the
legislation, under which every
able bodied male citizen would
be required TO take a year Of
military training, probably up
on reaching the age of 10.
Woodrum's committee can
not write legislation, but it can
recommend that regular COM

on procedure but reiterated his

young hostesses who dance with
them and talk to them and play
games and sing with them are swell
They think the nurses aides in the
