Gen. Stratemeyer had presented
the group detailed plans for, an Air
National Guard Of "a squadrons and
an air reserve Of $4,000 officers and
10000 enlisted men to augment the
Regular Army Air Forces in event
of an emergency. The program, sub
-ject to approval Of the War Depart
ment and Congress, would create an
Air National Guard Of 5000 pilots,
$500 nonrated officers and 10000 en-
listed men utilizing 70 bases, with at
least one in each State and the Dis
trict.
Gen. Stratemeyer said he was hav-
ing difficulty finding base for the
proposed District Air National Guard
unit but thought it might be pos
sible to locate it at Andrews Field,
Md, until permanent base became
available.
Gov. Martin Speaks.
Gov. Martin OF. Pennsylvania, an

urged a system of "selective train

said, "the lust for power still mad
dens nations and men,"
Commenting that it might be con-
sidered an inappropriate public
statement, Gov. Martin said:
Russia seems to be planning for
a great army, and Great Britain
for its largest peacetime force. We
hope they will be for peace and that
they will be aligned with U.S."

their time of discharge rather than
serve for the vaguer duration plus
six months"
The Army will begin to lose in
October the men who enlisted for
one year and will continue to lose
them at the rate of 5000 a month.
1t cannot afford to reduce the dis
charge criteria to 18 months In Oc-
tober If 1t has no replacements for
the men lost through the end of
the short term enlistments.
Can't Retain Strength.
1t is debatable if the Army will be
at its planned strength of 1,070, 900
men by July /, 1947, without the
draft, even If 1t does hold men for
two years instead of 18 months. It
can reach its planned strength only
If enlistmer1ts total 10000 month
from this July to December and
10000 a month from January to
July, 1947. These enlistments fig
ures are considered optimistic.
IT the draft act is extended with
the amendment that men with 18
months service must be discharged
beginning on the effective date of
the extension-May 16-the Army
would be 10000 men below strength
by July, 1947.
If the draft is extended with an
other House-approved amendment
halting the drafting of men under
20-minimum draft calls could not
be met because only 5000 or 1000
men would be available monthly in
stead Of 10000 to 10000. The Army
also would lose the pool of 10000
young men who were deferred until
June to finish high school. The
Army would find itself in the posi-
ton of being able to enlist 18-year-
olds but not to draft them.
If the draft is extended with a
draft holiday until October, another
provision OF the House-approved bill,
the Army could permit some drop
in its discharge criteria but it
wouldn't have men trained to re-
place the short-term enlistees going
out in October.
- If the draft is extended for nine
months instead of year, within
seven months draft boards again
would be reluctant to draft their
neighbors' sons, knowing that a two
months delay would mean they
didn't have to serve. That attitude
was believed responsible in part for
the fact that the draft fell far
short Of its 125,000-man quota for
April. During the first two weeks

The way is now open to District

Last Tuesday the Capital Transit
Co. turned over to the Commission
ers'. Special Transportation Survey

its views on'"A Transportation Sur
vey and Plan for the Central Area

Of April only 1900 men were
drafted.
One other limitation has been dis
cussed by Senators but so far has
not been tagged onto the draft ex-
tension bill. This would forbid the
Army to send men under 20 over
seas. If this is adopted, the Army's
garrisons for occupation duty would
be short by 10000 men-70,00O
couldn't be sent overseas and 10000
now overseas logically should be
brought home.
Gen. Paul explained that War
Department policy is to use the
younger men in the United States
and its territories rather than for
occupation duty, but the older men
with more technical skills have to
be spread around. AS a result, he
said, the younger men with fewer
skills have to fill in to some extent
overseas.
There has been some criticism that
men with only two months train
ing are being sent overseas. Train
ing was cut to a minimum to speed
replacements for men eligible for
discharge. Genl. Paul said that If
the draft is extended without Grip
pling amendments, the Army could
lengthen training again so that
more adequately trained men would
be sent overseas.
The bill reported favorably by the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
would extend the draft one year,
limit service to 18 months, provide
for the release of men with 18
months service october l and the
release of all fathers on application
after August 1-all measures fav-
ored by the Army.
The Senate bill also provides for
a monthly quota of selectees gov
erned by the number of enlistments
the previous month.
I'VE have no objection to that
quota SYSTEM" Gen. Paul said. 1--WE
don't want to. call a single man we
don't need"

'Adjutants Conclude
Session With Plea for
Universal Service

The Adjutants General Associa-
ton Of the United. States concluded
its annual meeting yesterday after
instructing its legislative committee
to urge the War Department to sub
NIT definite universal service plan
to Congress.
At It's final session in the Hotel
Statler, the association approved a
resolution authorizing its committee
to support proposals of the Ameri-
can Legion, Veterans of Foreign
Wars and Military Order of the
World War for a program compris-
ing short period of Army training
to be followed by a longer term in
National Guard or organized reserve
service.
Earlier, Senator Aiken, Republi-
can, OF Vermont had told the adju-
tants such modified universal
service system would find general
favor, whereas a 12-montlH Army
training plan would have little
chance of congressional approval.
Retirement Plan Urged.
In another resolution. the asso-
citation directed its leaders to seek
legislation establishing a retirement
plan for civilian National Guard
employees not covered now by social
security or the Federal employe re-
tirement system.
1t also asked that means be de-
vised to make surplus Army equip
ment and facilities available to the
National Guard.
Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, ad-
jutant general of Maryland and
chairman of the legislative COM
mittee, called for a. new bureau,
subject only to the highest authori-
ties, to administer affairs of ground,
air and naval militia forces in the
event the armed forces are uni
fed.
Stratemeyer Plan Presented.
Presuming that the present Ma
tional Guard Bureau would remei in
in the War Department in the
event the Army Air Forces were
separated from the Army, Gen.
Reckord had asked 1t. Gen. George
E. Stratemeyer, commanding gen.
eral of the Air Defense Command,
what provision would be made for
Air National Guard affairs in such
event. Gen. Stratemeyer replied he
thought companion bureau should
be created within the Air Forces.
Gen. Reckord said he considered
it desirable that National Guard
and related matters be above" the
service branches in event of reor-
ganization and then suggested the

THUMB SUCKING.

From Mrs. r. S. r., Washington
+ Mrs. J. c. NJ. Arlington: feel it
is almost my duty to answer your
request about thumb sucking" be-
cause it is so very important. A
baby II weeks old should be allowed
to suck his thumb, and if this nat
ural action is hampered in any way
his feeling of security in his new
world may be endangered.
His first introduction to things
around him is by feeling, feeling
with his mouth. The first thing he
discovers is the bottle in his mouth,
then his thumbs, and later on his
toys and clothes will all go to his
mouth. AS he grows older he will
And his whole hand or his feet and
may hold them up to his face. just
looking at them, as his eyes focus
better ana become stronger.
AS to the age children stop suck
ing depends on what other interests
they are given, and how soon they
begin drinking from cup. My son
refused to take a bottle after nine
months, started drinking from cup.
and has done no sucking since. That
is rather an early age, but child
will let you know when he is ready
to give up sucking. With all chill
dren the age is different. My daugh-
ter took a bottle at bedtime until
she was a year and half. If you
will notice, children that suck their
thumbs after they should have
grown out of it, do so because there
is nothing else to hold their in
terest. They are either watching
something or have nothing to do.
Give them something to do with
their hands, such as blocks. peg toys,
crayons. bucket and shovel for the
sand box, etc, and their thumbs
will soon be forgotten I have
noticed this when l take my chill
dren to the playground. Those that
are watching soon forget their
thumbs when they are included in
the games. Thumb sucking in older
children can be explained and
helped in many ways, but with
babies it is their first way of feel
ing what is around them.
Your doctor will tell you this and
can explain it better perhaps than
I have tried to here. Please do
not stop your son at such an early
age from sucking his thumbs.

Take the cat and the dog along

to leave his pet to loneliness, abuse

Cats are home loving animals.
They cling to the places in which
they live and they cling to the peo-
