Bold Action Needed

Dr. Karl T. Compton's Geographic ex-
preston of hope that Congress will tackle
the issue (of universal military training)
promptly and courageously" undoubtedly
reflects the sentiments of majority of
citizens who have read the Compton COM
missions persuasive report. But it is an
unfortunate fact that Congress has faced
this issue with anything but promptness
and courage in the past.
The record of Congress with such So
called "hot potatoes as universal military
training and merger legislation admittedly
is not one to inspire much hope for
sudden burst of enthusiasm. The initial
reaction of some members of Congress to
the report of the Presidents Advisory
Commission was that it was an excellent
presentation of a difficult subject, but
Congress will not have time to act on it
before adjournment. 1t is encouraging,
however, to note that the House Armed
Services Committee will begin public hear
ings on the proposal in week or ten days.
But the fact is that this program is not
something brand-new, requiring exhaustive
hearings and debate. AS early as Sep
TENDER 6, 1945, President Truman told
Congress that universal military training
was essential to our program of insuring
peace. He followed this up month later
with definite recommendation for one
year of compulsory training. Legislation
was prepared toward this end and it re-
ceived the Endorsement of the President.
But the seventy ninth session ended with
out action. Mr.. Truman renewed his sup
port Of the proposal when the new Con-
greSS convened and, at the same time,
announced appointment of the Compton
commission to study and report on the
whole subject. q
While it is true that congressional action
was not to be expected pending the COM
missions report, Chairman Compton is
not asking the impossible when he urges
prompt and bold action now. There is
plenty in the report to justify an earnest
effort to enact training legislation in the
two months before Congress goes on vaca-
ton. AS Chairman Andrews of the House
Armed Services Committee points out,
there is no real need for prolonged hear
ings, for extensive testimony has been
taken on the subject by the former House
Military Affairs Committee and the former
Special Postwar Military Policy Committee.
Witnesses could be polled as to whether
they wish to file amendatory statements
and new witnesses could be heard as
necessary.
In his telegram to the House committee.
