Taft Against Com. pulsory Military Training

CASPER, Wyo. (P) - Senator Taft R.-Ohio) wound up his west ern political tour here yesterday in a clash with the Democratic administration on several major issues and in disagreement with some of his own party leaders on at least one-liniversal military training.
 The Ohioan, who turns home ward after a speech here in which he promised to discuss "the Demo- cratic party" left behind newly voiced opposition to compulsory military training because he said it might become an obstacle to peace"
 Instead, Taft urged in a state ment expansion of national guard training in the technical aspects of warfare which, he said, would provide the core of reserves for building modern military ma | chine any time it would be need ed.
 His stand against universal mil itary training put the Ohio Sena- tor firmly on record against pro- posal which has already won the endorsement of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, army chief of staff.

Picket SquareK At Juneau

ANCHORAGE, (P)-Col. James D. Lang, district army engineer, said today CIO longshoremen have thrown a picket line around the freighter Square Knot at Juneau.
 Union officials informed him, he said, the ship was tied up because the IongShoremen were locked out by Alaska Steamship company and deprived of their rightful job of loading the ship"
 About 100000 board feet of lum- Der had been loaded aboard the vessel when P longshoremen threw up the picket line. One hatch was being manned by the sailors union of the Pacific (AF'L) and the other three by war depart nent civilian employees, he said.
 The vessel is owned by the Mar itime commission and operated by the Alaska Steamship Company on charter to the Seattle Port of Elm barkation.
 Lang asserted the unions claim of lockout by the steamship company was groundless.
 "The company has nothing to say" regarding the ships opera tions, he explained.
 The vessel docked in Juneau to load government-owned lumber with war department civilian em- ployees.
 "This is exactly the same pro- cedure as has been followed for the past five years" Lang declar- ed.
 Union officials said they would continue the picket line pending instructions from head officers in Seattle and San Francisco.

Vets And Families Exceed Civilians

WASHINGTON, (P)-Chairman Bridges R.-N. H., of the Senate appropriations committee said to- day the 18,O0O,OOO World War II veterans and their immediate fam lilies probably outnumber the rest Of the population.
 'I think it would be a healthy thing for the country to know the facts about this," Bridges told a newsman.
 The question came up during d discussion in the committee yester- day of request by the Veterans Administration for $3O,O0O, ,OOO supplementary appropriation to cover operations for the next two months. VA already has received Sl35, 100000 for administrative ex- penses during the current fiscal year.
 "We have 18,OOO,OOO veterans today" Gen. Omar Bradley, the veterans administrator, told the committee, land before long we will have another 100000 eligi- ble to veterans legislation.
 He said the VA figures each has an average of three relatives, which would make 6O,OOO,0OO rela- lives in all. The nations popula- ton is around 45,000,0OO.
 Bradley promised to dig up the latest figures for the committee, plus estimates of how the number will vary five and ten years hence.
