OF Education, Health
lin Lieu Of Draft Plan
BY the Associated Press.


The American Federation of Labo,
today advocated "a comprehensive
program of improved education and
health service" for the Nations
youth as a substitute for peacetime
draft legislation. 4
The AFL views were presented
to the House Postwar Military
Policy Committee in a statement
prepared by Lewis G.. Hines, AFL
national legislative representative
Mr.. Hines recalled that the Fedora
tion's Executive Council last Feb
ruary adopted resolution oppos-
ing universal military training.
Noting that advocates of a post
war draft have emphasized the
necessity for future preparedness
the AFL statement asked:
Preparedness for what? If we
are on the brink of another wal
should we not have the right to
demand to know with whom, when
and where?"
From military standpoint, the
AFL contended, it would be more
important to provide adequate med
ical care for children "in order
that they may be fit to serve their
Nations need upon reaching the
age of maturity"
I'VE owe it to ourselves to provide
adequate medical care in dealing
with the prevention of diseases so
that individuals may not be perma-
