er this week took the witness
stand in Justice James L. Ryan's
court and testified to a tale of

The woman, who was alone

brutal and sordid story. She was

a physicians care. Her face
showed marks of a beating.

his guilt - although admitting

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS -
(P-Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day made a personal plea to
Congress for the adoption of
postwar Universal military
training program.
"The greatest single motivat-
ing force for world peace today
Is the organized military poten-,
tial of the United States" Eisen-
hover declared.
In testimony prepared for an
appearance before the House
Military Committee, Eisenhower
cautioned that the development
OF war techniques would give
the United States no time to pre-
part If it were attacked again.
NO TINE MARGIN
If war comes to us again the
fact seems inescapable that we
will not have time to train units
before we are faced with the
final issue Of defeat or victory.
Certainly it would be uncon-
scionable to gamble on a fortui-
touS recurrence of the time TO
prepare bought by the blood of
our Allies in 1917 and in 1912.
I'VE must be prepared on NJ
Day-the day the enemy strikes
or we may never be prepared
to avert defeat at the hands of
any aggresSed who uses against
US the weapons of the future"
Eisenhower contended that
trained manpower and technol-
ogical advancement are "our
greatest assurance of keeping
the peace for which we fought"
Upon expiration of selective
service, the General said, the
nation should be prepared TO
start training young men who
have had no military expert
