In supporting both military con-
scription and President Humans
legislation with some modification
Linwood c. Rodgers of the Lumi-
nary of Lockwood, Mo-, wrote:
''The people of this community do
not favor such legislation. They
have many of their boys back home
and want to keep them. The war
is over and they do not want to an
ticipate another one.
SIN my own personal opinion, the
United States, should adopt compul-
sorry peacetime training. We served
in the army and saw inadequately
trained men thrown into combat,
and that isn't good. We believe it
is pretty well agreed that another
war is inevitable and we can't stave
it off by not training our men to be
IN readiness; in fact, that will only
Snvite it sooner.
ssI'd say that six months would
be enough for the 18- to 20-year-olds
10 spend in training, for the basics
will be all the trainee will receive
in most cases anyway. In cases
of extreme hardships Z. boys
should be excused"
Agreeing with both proposals,

pared cost us many extra lives !.
1t is not going to hurt any healthy
boy to learn the manual of arms. -"
Backing compulsory training, Carl
Portman Of the Record-Register of
C0algate, Okla, declared:
1--WE would leave to the army,
navy and air corps officials the type
and extent of military training. But
we would emphasize the Importance
Of physical culture and discipline in
any training program which Amer
lea might adopt, with particular
stress on the building of strong bod
les and clean minds for our young
men,"
Basing most of his opposition to
compulsory service on moral
grounds, o. d. Parks of The Graph
ic of Nashville, N. c., said:
81 do not think boys IS to 20 years
of age should be thrown into the en-
vironment of peacetime army life,

situation what it is.

form of military training, but it
doesn't need a years training for
all males physically qualified at the
teen-age level.
"Basic training in some form
could be thrown in with high school
or college ROTC, with perhaps a
months summer camp each year
for your finished reserve.
"But for the standing army,
there's only one thing-regulars.
Make the air arm strong and make
it sufficiently inviting that enough
youth will choose it as a career. Of
course, to make it inviting will mean
cutting out some of the caste that
permeates our present military es-
Establishment. ="
Declaring that we won the war
because of our superior productive
capacity and technical skill, Clar-
ence v. Smaze1 of the Press of ST..
Louis, Mich, advocated five-point
program instead of postwar service:
''What we really need to do" he
said, sis build one department Of
national defense under a civilian
board of experts in fields useful to
war; eliminate the war colleges of
West Point and Annapolis with their
class distinctions, privileges and
traditionalism; make our economy
function in peace so that we can
always have a margin of productive
ity ever anyone else for war;
establish secret nests of atomic
bombs so that if anybody tried to
eliminate our power by suddenly
attacking our productive centers we
would be able to hit back fast with
more and better and have men
who know most and behave best in
charge, at any level, of every mill
tary activity"
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1946-01-11

If a lesser period is adopted, our
boys will be going into battle only
half trained, and this is as bad as
no training at all. The only way
to avoid war in the future is to have
large enough army, sufficiently
trained so that no nation will dare
to attack us, and then don't 60 out
looking for trouble.
1--WE have been fortunate in the
last two wars to have time to train
an army, but when the next one
comes, time will not be allowed for
training an army. Really, the only
way to stop wars is to do as two
senators have been brave enough to
suggest, and that is to form an in
dividual state of the world. :"
Urging a modified program, Ed
gar r. Simpson of the News of st.
George, Utah, wrote:
''It is my observation that many
people think of peacetime military
training as a program of physical
education and disciplinary training,
which they favor. Most do not, how
ever, seem anxious to see boys Of
10 taken away from their homes,
and opinions Of returning service
men point up some plan whereby
boys could have the advantages Of
discipline, physical training and ed
ucatiou along some lines that would
benefit them in peacetime activities
as well as for wartime preparation,
as on college campus or something
Of the sort in their home state or
area"
Stating that while he didn't think
IL would worry the President, T. D.
Caverly Of the Valerian of Waller,
Mont, disagreed with Mr.. Truman's
training legislation. Said he:
I'VE believe it would be a mighty
good thing for every boy and girl in
the country to put in a year under
strict supervision as to hours and
habits, to be trained in calisthenics
and be under the direction of the
best doctors during that time so the
doctors could observe any physical
trouble and / rect it. But we be-
lieve this should not be done at the
exact age of 49,"
Declaring that the government
should adopt a policy of encourage
ing science to develop the most
modem materiel combat means, w.
L. RAIDER Of the Courier of Poison,
Mont, thought: %. 1t Is useless
to draft a man for a year for just
ordinary military training. This
would mean nothing the way war
would be carried on in the future
and would just be an enormous ex-
pense.
ut seems to me what should be
done is to have a few rowing am
bassadors that really keep an eye
on what is gong on in other coun-
tries. And when they come back
and make a report-like Lindbergh
did to England and the u. S.-ws
should do something about It. -"

Advocating modified military
training, Russell A. WheeIock of The
Shopper Of Sc. Johnsbury, W., wrote:
"By all means we should be
armed, ready and wiling TO fight
when our way of life Is threatened.
Therefore, military education In our
schools and colleges-yesi
eff we are smart enough 70 cher
ish and control the atomic bomb, no
country will war with us. Navies,
armies, air forces are outmoded,
and waste of taxpayers money.
Money placed on armies would be
spent to better advantage educating
future scientists to cope with the
enemy's weapons. A strict control
of Japan and Germany will pre-
vent wars. A strong international
policy by America will back up
world peace"
Supporting a modified program,
C. D. Eldredge Of the Courier of
Winchendon, Mass, said:
"For young men about to continue
their education after completing
high school, feel that year spent
in continuous military training
would be a decided mistake. /.
Let the young man who is accepted
for college combine his education
with the military, and in that way
not interrupt his program. 1t would
not necessarily have to be an ROTC
but something along the National
Guard lines.
Elm case Of young man who had
no qualifications for college or in
clination to continue his education,
a ''hitch" in the National Guard
would do the trick = with little
chance of the youth of the nation

Believing the compulsory training
to be counter to principles of free
dom guaranteed in the Bill of
Rights, M. E. Sunderland of The

By AL JEDLICKA
WNU News Analyst.

EIFTY- SEVEN per cent of
IL country newspaper editors
polled in a nationwide survey
by Western Newspaper Union
favor compulsory peacetime
military training, with SIT per
cent of these approving of Presi-
dent Truman's proposal for one
year Of service for 49, to 2O-year-
old male youths. Thirty-seven
per cent opposed compulsory
training and 6 per cent remained
undecided.
In the editors report on prevail
ing sentiment for compulsory train
ing in their communities, however,
44.8 per cent of the people stood
against it, with 42.8 per cent approx
ing and 1874 per cent evenly divided.
With every section of the country
heard from, southern editors showed
the greatest support for compulsory
training, with $685. per cent for it.
Following were the North with 59.7
per cent; the East with 57.6 per
cent and the West with so per cent.
Southern editors approving COM
pulsory training also showed the
strongest preference for Mr.. Tru-
mans service program, TIT per
cent being for it, while So per cent
in the West favored it, 56.7 per cent
in the North and 40 per cent in the
East.
With Sc per cent of the people re-
ported backing compulsory training,
southern communities also were far
out in front for the proposal, with
the West following with 41.9 per cent
and then the North with 400 per
cent, and the East with 81 per cent.
Timely in view of pending con-
gressional action on the Presidents
measure for one year of military
service for physically, morally and
mentally fit 49, to 20-year-old youths
of the nation, the WNU poll served
to reflect grassroots sentiment on
the all important proposal. 1t
seemed to justify congressional eau
ton arising from strong, popular
aversion to compulsory training,
while also rejecting advanced ac-
ceptance by professional thinking.
Because editors were asked to
gauge public opinion in their COM
munities instead of actually polling
it, however, some discrepancy
might exist in their judgment of the
sentiments prevailing in their local
tiles. Since the country newspaper
editor, of all persons, perhaps is the
closest to the people about him, on
the other hand, his observations may
be considered fairly accurate.
Though the editors appeared out
of step, rural community sentiment
ran in line with the recent positions
of the three great farm organlza-
tons on postwar service: The Farm
Bureau favoring a broad program
of physical fitness in schools and
land grant colleges; the Grange pro-
posing similar preparation and army
pay sufficient to induce volunteers,
and the Farmers Union advocating
some form of combined civilian
training modelled after the National
Youth administration.
The WNU poll contrasted mark
edly with other nationwide tabu-
lations embracing the large urban
and country districts. The final edi-
tors count of 81 per cent for COM
pulsory training differed from the
reported overall figure of II per
cent for professional people in other
surveys, while the community count
of 448 per cent against contrasted
with other findings of IS per cent
against.
