WASHINGTON, June 4.-IR-The House Armed Services Committee ordered public hearings on universal training after Karl T. Compton termed the international situation too serious to justify delay"
 Compton. who headed President Trumans Advisory Commission which recommended universal train ing. telegraphed the committee.
 There is no certainty that in- trigue backed with force has been abandoned as an instrument for national aggrandizement and un- happily the present actual evidence in some quarters points otherwise.
 Chairman Andrews (R.-N.Il told reporters hearings will start in "a week or ten days" before the full committee, with Compton as the first witness.
 The docket of the present session does not provide for training bilh since measure of such contro- versial nature would require long debate, and Congress is slated to adjourn next month.

With one missing and upwards of 500 persons homeless, Rutland, Vt., today staggered toward recov- cry from roaring flood that caus- ed damage estimated at more than $2,00O000
 National Guardsmen patrolled the flooded residential area and emergency kitchens were set up to feed the homeless in Vermont s second largest city. Clearing wea- ther indicated the worst was over. Business virtually was suspended as everyone went to work to help the homeless and clear debris.

 In Oneida. N. Y, Oneida Creek receded after spreading over a six block area and flooding 300 homes. A fourth of Elmira, N. Y., was flooded by Chemung River tribu- taries, which quickly receded. Rising Six-Mile Greek caused the evacua- tion of 35 Utica families.
 High water took out bridges at Nobleshoro, 10 miles north of Utica, and at Floyd, the New York State Police reported. Highways in many areas are blocked by flood damage
 The rains, which ranged up to four torrents, forced the eva cuation of 50 families from homes at Springville, Pa, and others at Conneautville. Water ran 10 inches deep over the main street of Kerr town, Pa
 First to be struck by the floods was the Miami River Valley and other lowlands of central and northern Ohio. At least 80 famil- ies were forced from their homes.

Loan at the end of 1915 more than
Sl3.5 billion in cash has been put
away in Savings Bonds by Amer
leans, more than $l70 million of
it by citizens of North Carolina.
That is all to the good, but it
is not enough.
To expand its program the Saw
ingS Bonds Division needs more
volunteer help, and that means
more help in each community.
In working for more bond sales,
each volunteer is helping to keep
prices down by taking surplus
cash out of the way of the tempt
alton to spend it unnecessarily
and helping to build up reserves
of purchasing power for the flu
ture. when each dollar should
buy more and when its spending
will help keep business, trade
and employment from Sagging.
What we all want is a more
stable economy: not boom times
followed by depression but good
times at all times. Personal
thrift, each American saving all
/ he can while he can, is direct
action toward attaining personal
and national security.

WEAPON AGAINST
INITIATION

Our immediate approach to
the problems of high prices,
President Truman said in his
message at the opening OF the
special session of Congress,
should consist of three types OF
measures: One. to relieve mon
etary preSSureS; Two, to channel
scarce goods into the most eS-
sential uses and Three, to deal
directly with specific HI g h
prices"
Some of the measures the Pres
ident recommended are now be-
ing debated by Congress, but
there is one on which there can
be no disagreement. He put it
this way:
Another effective weapon a.
gainst Initiation is increased saw
ings by the public. Every dol
lar that is saved instead of spent
is a dollar fighting against in
flation. In order to encourage adj
ditional savings, the Government
SllOull liitSilSl1S us 'lSOAoltS IL
forts to sell Savings Bonds
That statement needs no ex-
PLANTATION or debate: it only needs
putting into action in every state
city and county
Fortunately, the United States
Savings Bonds Division of the
Treasury Department has the nu-
cleuS of an organiZation-leSS
than one-fifth what it had dur
ing the Victory Loan-to adver-
tiSe and promote the sale of more
Savings Bonds. 1t has a small
force in this state to guide and
service the volunteers who sell
the bonds. The few hrooms it
has had to help sweep back the
tide of initiation have been eff
fectively used in l946-47, as the
record shows. Snice the Victory
