THE Plain Dealer poll on military
L training comes at a particularly
interesting moment following the
Presidents message and the an
nouncement by the House Military
Affairs Committee that hearings
will start November Sth. ! want
to call your attention to the fact
too, that it was a suggestion con-
tanned in the Presidents words of
years training for service.
This to my mind opens the door
to a very far-reaching and thor
oughly constructive program. 1t
would be perfectly possible to work
out way by which instead of re-
stricting the educational opportuni-
ties and giving our universities less
chance to play their part, greater
opportunity would be given not only
in the "6ne year" but thru it to
several years thereafter.
One year of training for service

with that? If all of you had made
the trip l made this Fall you
would feel as l do that we must
be realistic about the state the
world is in. There is mighty little
peace in anybody's heart.
If the little green shoots of peace
are ever going to grow into trees,
they will need concrete protection,
and whoever speaks for peace will
have to be strong in the ways that
are understood by those in whose
hearts there is not peace.
