CLARKSBURG, w. Va, Oct.
'16. - President Truman an
nounced today he has directed
the Defense Department to "or-
ganize all military Reserve units
required for the national Sc
curity."
The presidential order requiring
action without delay" called for
establishment of vigorous and pro-
gressive reserve training programs"
1t was directed to Defense Secre-
tary Forrestal and the heads of the
Armed Service Departments under
him.
The President told Mr.. Forrestal
to assign IAN active, capable, high
ranking officer" to head the Reserve
program in each department of the
National Defense establishment.
Order Signed Aboard Train.
Mr.. Truman signed an executive
order aboard his Washington-b bound
campaign train shortly before mid
night.
1t says the national security re-
quires that Reserve components of
appropriate strength and maximum
effectiveness exist throughout the
Nation"
In a statement, Mr.. Truman said
The organized Reserve Corps of the
Army and Air Force have not made
as rapid progress as other branches
OF the service in building up their
postwar strength.
Mr.. Forrestal was directed to re-
port within 60 days on progress
under the order.
Will Balance National Defense.
The President said his order was
intended to give the balance nee
eSsary to our national defense in its
broadest aspect"
Presidential Secretary Charles G.
Ross told reporters the order was
not an outgrowth of any new de-
terioratlon of international rela-
tionS.
1T seems that the Navy and Ma
rines got ahead of the Army and
Air Force in organizing their re-
serves" he said. This is intended
to obtain better balance"
Presidential aides at the Whits
House in Washington told a report
er that Mr.. Truman had no par
Etlcular numerical goal IN mind for
strengthening the reserves.
Halls Navy, Marine Progress.
Mr.. Truman paid particular trib-
ute to the progress which has been
made by the Navy Department and
the members of the Naval and Ma
rine Corps Reserve in building up
their postwar reserve organization
and in forwarding their training
programs"
In much the same way, he said,
the National Guard has largely
perfected" its postwar organization.
He spoke of its success in recruit
ing.

TRAIN, Oct. 16.-President Truman.
en- route back to Washington from
a 3,500-mile campaign trip in the
Midwest, today accused the Repub-
licans of trying to "debauch" this
election.
Speaking from platform in front
of the railroad station at Clarks-
burg, w. Va, Mr.. Truman said the
COP passed "a rich mans tax bill'
and now is trying to get contribu-
tions from the rich. He exhibited a
West Virginia Republican pamphlet
showing tax savings in Various
brackets under the income tax re-
duction bill and said it suggested
party contributions out of such saw
ings.
The President, who is due to
reach Washington at o'clock this
afternoon. aimed a jibe at Gov.
Warren, the Republican vice presi-
Dental nominee, in a speech at
Grafton, w. Va, later today. He
said he was informed that Gov.
Warren had failed to indorse Sen.
ator Revercomb, Republican, for re-,
election on recent visit to West
Virginia.
What sort of party is it that
won't indorse its candidates?' Mr..
Truman asked.
Says Revercomb Waited Vainly.
He said Senator Revercomb
waited in vain" for an outright in
dorsement, but that all Gov. Warren
would say was that he liked the
Eightieth Congress"
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, Of
West Virginia, and Matthew M.
Nicely, Democratic candidate for the
Senate against Senator Revercomb,
were on the platform with the
President in Clarksburg.I
I'm just as sure as stand here
West Virginia is going to do the
right thing on election day." Mr..
Truman said. He added that If
everybody votes, he isn't worried
about the outcome. -
With only 36-hour respite in his
campaign, Mr.. Truman will fly to
Miami Monday for a "nonpolitical"
speech to the American Legion con-
vention. He will arrive in Raleigh,
N. c., late that day for two speeches
there Tuesday.
The President ended a five-State
sweep in.Indianapolis last night. His
six-day tour brought his total Of

Committee Of Baptists
Hits Military Training
AS World Peace Peril

The Joint Conference Committee
on Public Relations for the Baptists
of the United States announced
today its opposition to universal
military training as imperiling world
peace and undermining the moral
leadership of America"
The committee, representing the
major Baptist conventions Of the
country, acted on report submitted
to it yesterday by the Committee
on Domestic Issues. 1t was sub
mitted by DR.. Edward H. Pruden,
pastor of First Baptist Church here.
He is committee chairman.
E. Hilton Jackson, Washington
attorney and chairman of the Joint
Conference Committee, presided at
the meeting held at Baptist head
quarters, 1923 Sixteenth street NV.
The committees statement de-
clared the UNIT program threatened
the United Nations and "all efforts
toward world cooperation" and
aroused "the darkest suspicious of
all nations" 1t also said the pro-
gram lacks real protection since
it is based on obsolete notions of
warfare and has little relevance to
tn atomic age" 1t would regiment
our youth and would constitute "a
totalitarian threat to religion, edu-
cation, labor and business" the re-
port said.
The committee also went on rec
ord as opposing the use of public
funds for sectarian purposes in
education.
It also was recommended that
racial discrimination be eliminated

Court Orders Permit Issued
For White Hall Trailer Camp

The Prince Georges County Com
missioners today were under a court
order to issue permit for the oper-
alton of a trailer camp near White
Hall.
A writ of mandamus was signed
yesterday by Circuit Court Judge
John B. Gray, jr.
The suit was filed by Attorney
Nicholas Orem. jr., on behalf Of
White Hall Manor. Inc, after the
commissioners. sitting as county
Board of Health, last August re-
fused to grant the license. Mr..
Orem contended that the property
is not located in zoned area and
because of this the commissioners
had no discretion in granting the
permit.
The only requirement which could
be considered by the board, Mr..
Orem contended, was whether the
trailer camp met State health
standards. At the hearing it was
agreed that health standards were
met.
Issuance of the permit was op-
posed by a number of county resi-
dents and the county School Board.
Both contended the camp would
bring children into the county
schools and that taxes received from
the development would not be equal
to the added educational cost.
