No Automatic Army Gallup
to Face Universal Troinees
BY s. BURTON HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - The fate
of universal military training
probably depends upon public
understanding of the difference
between universal training"
nd universal conscription." I"
That is the opinion of insiders
here.
There is evidence that many
are confused by the two terms,
and that they misunderstood
what President Truman and the
armed services propose. Some,
both in and out of uniform, as
sumo that the proposal initiates
the European system, in which,
for the duration of their COM
pulsory enrolment, trainees are
members of the fighting services,
and after their training they be-
come members of an organized
reserve.
That is not true. AS explained
by the President himself, and
elaborated by a spokesman for
the War Department, here is the
project as the Military Affairs
Committee now Is considering 1t:
Every young man not COM
pletely crippled would be given
one year of training, between
high school and college or work.
He could choose his own branch
Of the service, unless too many
sought any one branch.
The trainee would not be
member of the armed branch in
which he was training. He would
remain a civilian.
NO ORGANIZED RESERVE
When his training was COM
pleted he would return to civil
ian pursuits. For perhaps six
years he would be member
of a General Reserve; then he
would be in a secondary reserve.
In case the next war is a major
one, the distinction between
these reserves would be nomi-
nal. In a minor war, selective
service might depend upon the
younger General Reserve, less
rusty in its training. Without
universal ..s.:.training. =: the-~ssall1se
preference has been. applied sby
differing limitations upon the
age group subjected to draft.
Neither of these reserves
would be an Organized Reserve,

Tox-Free War PIonts Stir
Mocomb County Supervisors

Macomb County's loss Of tax
revenue from the 100000, 900
Chrysler tank and Westinghouse
naval ordinance plants in War
rem Township stirred the Board
of Supervisors on Monday,
when a decision was made to
push the county's appeal for
Federal aid in this respect.
A similar appeal launched
early in 1914 resulted in q ses-
sion in Mount Clemens of sub
committee of the Public Lands
Committee of Congress, headed
by Rep. j. Hardin Peterson.
They heard abounding evil
dence indicating that although
the privately operated plants
contribute nothing to taxes that
sustain the district. they have
added heavily to the problems
Of education, road maintenance,
sewage. public safety and health.
No decision either favorable
or encouraging to Macomb
County has ever been received,
Supervisor Bernard A. Kalahar,
of Center Line, protested to the
supervisors on Monday.
Kalahar painted a dire picture
of the Warren Township stu
alton, in relationship to schools
alone, in stressing his contention
that the Federal government
should contribute to the tax bur-
den:
IF present aid for Warren
Township schools is withdrawn
- and it can't be kept up in
definitely - you'll see an edu-
cational crisis never before ap-
parent in Michigan" Kalahar
asserted.
1T won't be a matter of 60
ing on half-days of school. 1t will
be 'no-days' of school - no
school!" he told fellow solons.
Kalahar urged that the board's 8
important Equalization Commit
tee, which faces a major task
during 1916 in trying to raise
tax revenues, turn its attention
to the Federal governments liza
bility in regard to the Westing-
house and Chrysler-operated
plants. -.-----.-

CHUNGKING, Dec. IL up
Russia agreed today to permit
Chinese government troops to
fly into Manchuria and take
over its most strategic cities,
Central News Agency reported.
After weeks OF tense negotia-
tions, during which Chinese
Communists had sought to take
over ports and cities, the Agen-
cy said the Chungking govern
ment had won permission to
plant itself firmly in this terri
tory held vital for the recovery
of war-ravaged China.
1t reported that Central Gov
ernment troops would be per-
mitted by the Russians to fly
into Changchun, the Manchur-
ian capital, Mugden, largest city
in the territory, and Harbin,
most important in Northern
Manchuria.
Chinese Communists previ-
ously had been reported concen-
trating about both Changchun
and Harbin and ready to take
over Mukden if Central Govern
ment troops on the outskirts
tried to move in.
A Chinese Dispatch yesterday
said Communist headquarters at
Yenan had ordered their troops
to clear out of Mukden Ito con-
serve the strength of Communist
forces"
The reported agreement COW
ering Mukden, Changchun and
Harbin embraces the most inn
portant cities in all Manchuria
with the exception of the south
ern port of Dairen.
Mukden is the first objective
of Central government troops,
who recently broke into Man
churia across the southern bor-
der after ut-flanking the from
tier fortress of Shanhaikwan.
II lies between the free port
of Dairen, at the southern tip OF
Manchuria, and Changchung,
about 400 miles he north:

Previously it had been report
ed that the Russians also agreed
to permit Chungking troops to
enter Dairen, which under the
Sino- Russian agreement will be
occupied by both powers.

that large abutments would be
required for the bridge-which
will stretch from North to South
River roads. These abutments
tend to hold back the flow OF
water, the property owners as
serted.
Harper said that if such abut-
ments are approved by Federal
engineers, he would like to call
their attention to the u. S. En-
gineers' report on Clinton River
floods, in which they point out
that the presence of thick abut-
ments on Mount Clemens bridges
has materially aggravated" the
Clinton flood problem.

seen plans for the proposed new
Bridge and no other official pres
|ent at the supervisors meeting
could explain whether or not
abutments will be used. The
length of the bridge, some point
ed out, would make abutments
essential.
Harper's address to the board
- which resulted in that body
asking for a Road Committee
and Road Commission detailed
report on the matter - brought
out the fact that every effort is
now being made to construct a
q spillway from Mount Clemens
to the lake to relieve floods.
There's no sense in us re-
lieving flood waters in that way

pressed shock ut the sheriff's
description Of the lack Of har-
mony between the two key
units Of government, and or
dered its sherifrs committee
to uncover" the facts and
move to put an end to the
unhealthy conditions.
Sheriff Ensign, in presenting
his views on the situation, dur
ing the closing moments of Mon
days regular Board meeting,
said that he felt the supervisors
should be aware of the true pic
ture.
IF some OF you gentlemen
find that crimes have occurred
in your communities and that
prosecution is not forthcoming
you will probably be right in
ascribing il to the failure Of
the prosecutor to cooperate
with Undersheriff Kalten-
BACH" he said.
Ensign pointed out that, since
1t is impossible for him to be on
duty 24-hours day and that
Kaltenbach is a trained, capable
administrator, the affairs of his
department are-during his own
absence directed by Kalten-
bach.
"The prosecutor is not go
ing to push me around" En-
sign said feelingly," nor is he
going to get away with trying
to run my department, which
-apparently-is what he feels
he can do by ignoring my un-
dersheriff in the prosecution
of criminals"
The sheriff, who spoke with
obvious anger, pointed out that
in a murder case due for trial
Jan. 8, Held has not even en-
dorsed Kaltenbach to appear on
the stand although, Ensign in
sists, the undersheriff Is key
figure in the investigation. He
said, too, that in at least one
case, involving a barroom brawl,
in which the victims had sought
to prosecute perpetrators Of il
legal acts, the prosecutor had de-
clined to take action simply
because Kaltenbach was the Of
ficer on the case"
The sheriff'S committee Of
i" the bOartf*ss supervisors, meet
ing hurriedly following Mon
days full board session, voted
to call Held before it for an ex-
planation of his position.
Held, out of the city for the
past two weeks, could not be
contacted at his Miami Beach,
Fla, hotel when the Monitor
Leader attempted to obtain his

Secretary OF war ROBERT +.
Patterson, testifying before
the House Military Affairs
Committee, urges a universal
training program instead Of =
large standing army. The
United States, he warned,
would be the first target in
any future war and survival
would depend ION our abil-
ity to mount an immediate
counter offensive that will
enable US to establish control
of the enemy's launching sites
and production facilities"
whose members could be called
into uniform as group by
Presidential edict. President
Truman proposes that we have
such an organized reserve. but
membership in 1t would be
purely voluntary by enlistment.
The members of the General
Reserve and the secondary re-
serve would be just as much
civilians as though they never
had been trained. The only way
the ey~ eoutssbs ca9ied TO actVis
service would be through draft
law enacted by Congress. In that
event the ones to serve would
be selected by lot, just as con-
scripts were in World Wars I
and II.
Under the proposals, no young
man would be any more liable
for military service because of
universal training than the same
youngster is today because he is
bodied.
Because all but cripples would
be trained, the draft probability
for any particular young man
would not be increased In any
way by reason of his training
- with one exception:
VOLUNTARY ROTC
That exception is the boys now
growing up with remediable
physical defects that, If left
alone, will bar them from active
service, but that would be elm
mated by medical care provid-
ed under universal training.
Any trainee could enlist, If
he chose. So can any young man
now, with hout training. Any
youngster who, after training,
took a recognized officers train
ing course, in college or else
where, would receive a reserve
commission. That is true now,
without universal training.
The government would offer
to help finance the college edu-
cation of exceptional trainees
who would agree to take ROTC
courses and, upon graduation, to
return as junior officers for at
least q year of further training.
But that would be voluntary. No
youth would have to accept such
an offer.
In short, the liability Of any
young man to military service
would be in no way increased
by the training program, unless
he had physical defects that
were removed, 50 that he be-
came able-bodied.
That is the difference be-
tween democratic un iversa
training, as proposed in this
country, and universal conscrip-
ton as practised in other coun-
tries.

5TIM50N RECOGNIZES
NEGRO nurse PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. (ANP)
Mindful of the controversy that
has been developing with regard
to war department policy on the as
signment Of Negro nurses, Sec.
Henry L. Stimson gave assurance
that the problem would not go un-
recognized.
He told a press conference that
Negro nurses in the army nurse
corps are going to be utilized so as
best to meet the needs of the army"
He prefaced this statement with
the background that they are be-
ing commissioned in the army
when and where they are avail
able," and that they must of course,
meet the same physical and profes-
sional requirements established for
all nurses.
The secretary's statement was
prompted by a newsman's inquiry
