Irish Veterans Support
Universal Training;
Nominations Set Today

Delegates to the 18th annual con-
vention of the Irish War Veterans
will nominate new officers at meet
ing this afternoon at the Hamilton
Hotel.
At the opening of the three-day
convention last night the group
strongly supported universal mill
tary training. Other approved res
olutions called for a pension pay
ment for World War I veterans and
urged that the Communist Party be
outlawed in this country.
Impetus to the demand for uni
versal military training was given
by Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey.
director of the Office of Selective
Service Records.
Gen. Hershey assailed what he
called the "push-button theory"
that only a few people must be
trained for modern war. If the
United States faced the prospect of
waging an offensive war, small,
strong force might be enough, he
said.
Must Face Reality.
But we must face the reality of
being in defensive position" he
declared. 'If war comes, we must
be able to maintain the defensive
position until the country can turn
the tide to an offensive one"
Gen. Hershey said he does not
think controversial details of the
training proposals should be allow
ed to hold back quick enactment of
a defense program.
ut doesn't make so much differ
ence whether we train our youths
with the spoon or with the paddle, -
he said. "If the skins of our mod
ern young men are going to be say
ed, they will have to do the saving
themselves"
George L. Cassiday, of Washing
ton, commander of the group, said
that, if the training program is
started, the Irish War Veterans will
urge that Gen. Hershey take charge
OF the draft in the same way he did
under the SeIective Service sys-
tenn"
Elections Tonight.
Mr.. Cassiday and a delegation
from the convention were to place
a wreath at the tomb of the Un-
known Soldier in a ceremony in
Arlington Cemetery this morning.
Policy discussions are scheduled
for this afternoon, and new officers
will be elected tomorrow. They will
be installed in a noon ceremony
Officially ending the meeting.
AS an added high light, the Or
ganization will initiate about 15C
new members in a ceremony in the
May7ower Hotel at 2 pm. Sunday.
