Congress Divided Over Trunan's Two Requests
(BY Jack BelO

WASHINGTON (R Congress split down the middle yesterday on President Truman's plans for snoring up the nations military strength with universal training and revival of the draft.
 Party labels were lost in the shuffle as leaders divided over the two measures MT. Truman said are needed to flex the muscles of a country that has become "the principal protector of the free world" against communism" The upshot seemed to be a trend toward giving the President one but not both-of the manpoWer raising laws. Universal military training looked like slightly the better bet although the cards are stacked against UNIT in the House right now.
 As a third step to halt the ag- gressive march of "one nation"- RusSia-Mr. Truman also called for quick and final approval of the $5,300,O00,OOO Marshall plan for European recovery.
 The Senate already has passed its bill. And, within four hours of the Presidents address to Con- gress, the House foreign affairs committee stamped its okay on a similar program.
 Congressional leaders in both major political camps agreed on one thing-they want to do some thing to stop the spread of com munism across not only Europe but the world.
 But there the agreement stop ped.
 Cha an Vandenberg R.- Mich. of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee said that if this country does not now have the es- sentials of national armed security i've must provide them by the most available immediate means"
 Senator Taft of Ohio, A COP Presidential candidate, indicated he may fight the draft, as well as

Congress Prepares To Draft Men;
 When And 'If'
(BY Jack BelD

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senate Republican leaders seemed near agreement today on a plan to reg ister-but delay drafting-the na- tion's young men for military service.
 The wait-and-see proposal un- der study by Senators Vandenberg Mich0 and Taft (Ohio) would call for speedy passage of laws to revive selective service in the face of stepped up communist pressure in Europe. Selectees would be chosen and put on notice.
 But Congress would not push the button for inductions unless or until: CD voluntary enlistments continued to lag or @ the world situation grew so grave as to call for partial or full mobilization of citizen army.
 The prime object of such a law would be to spur immediate en- listments of those subject to call, thus filling vacant ranks in line with President Truman's plea for

Mixed Foreign Reactions To
 Truman Talk
(By The Associated Press)

LONDON, (P)-Europe divided on familiar lines yesterday in its reaction to President Truman's preparedness speech.
 Non-Communinst newspapers and officials who would talk hailed it generally as a fortnight statement in defense of freedom against communism.
 Communist newspapers and ra- dio stations for the most part took the line that it was threatening talk intended to create "war pan ic." But the eastern press gave it little space.
 Moscow broadcast a Tass dis patch from New York saying the Presidents speech "has evoked anxiety even among conservative American politicians" The Soviet news agency quoted Rep. Dewey Short R.-MoD as decrying "an at mosphere of hysteria," and Henry A. Wallace as saying the speech was shameful call for world re- mobilization"
 Russian-controlled newspapers in Berlin characterized the ad- dress as "firebrand talk" and a "panic speech"

.B-29's Prove They
 "Can Take It" Over North Pole

SALIVA, Kas. (P-B-29's have proved that bombers can operate over the Arctic ice cap, the com mander of the 97th bomb wing said here yesterday.
 The fifteen B-29's of the 97th were the first fully-equipped com bat planes to fly over the north pole.
 The 97th is returning to the Smoky Hill air force base here from six months of training and tests in Alaska. Most of the 1,700 men in the Wing have returned by air, and 500 are en route by ship.
 Col. George L. Robinson, 36, of Los Angeles, commander of the 97th and veteran of 25 World War II combat missions, talked about the arctic flights today before leaving with his wife for her home in Jacksonville, Fla, to absorb some sunshine.
 "The tests were completed sue cessfully and the equipment was proved" he said. No special prob lems were found, although north ern lights (aurora borealis) upset magnetic compasses so they were useless for navigation"
 Flights of $500 miles over the north pole from their base at Eiel- son Field were made during the darkest part of the long winter nights, Robinson said.
 'The weather" he remarked, lis not unusual on top of the world Just about like it is here. Only nc thunderStorms. It was not a prCb- lem"
 Although temperatures as low as 40 below zero on the ground and 75' below in the air were en- countered, the young wing com mander said planes were able to take off any time a mission was scheduled. Four hours were re- quired to warm up the engines.
 Col. Robinson credited success of the tests to indoctrinatlon, training and equipment.
 He had liberal praise for ground crews who changed engines on ramps at Eielson Field, near Fair banks, in temperatures as low as 35 degrees below zero.

christianity In Home
Is Presbyterian Topic
Pastor Addresses 60
Persons At Mothers
Day Service Sunday

The governing principle of the
christian home is the kind of love
that is climbed" into rather than
blindly fallen" into, according to the
Rev. Robert G.. Valentine, pastor OF
the Presbyterian church in his Sum
day morning sermon.
Speaking in honor of Mothers day
the Rev. Mr.. Valentine relegated to
both parents the responsibility of
establishing a Christian home. A
crowd of go persons of the 100 total
church members were present to
hear the sermon.
"The backbone Of the nation is the
homes of the nation, and unless these
homes are Christian, the nation will
not be Christian. If more people mar
ried for spiritual love instead of pas
sion love or vanity love, the divorce
court judges would be out of a job
and on relief" the Rev. Mr. Valen-
tine said.
He said because a child learns
more in the first five years of his
life than in any other five year per-
iod, the home should pay special at
tention to the nurture of faith in the
young. The family should have an
altar for prayer -. for) mo family
that learns to pray together can long
remain apart" he briefed.
Sunday activities should include
attending the church services in the
morning and the reading of Chris
tan literature in the afternoon. Sum
day should be a "red-letter day-a
day of JOY and delight" rather than
of dissipation, the speaker said.
A Christiun Home
A portion of the family income
will be dedicated to God before fam
lily expenses are taken out, and "the
unseen Guest" will be the head OF
the house. Thanks will be said at
the table in such a home, the Rev.
Mr.. Valentine said, asserting that if
true Christianity is present, work
ing or playing, waking or sleeping,
eating or drinking, Christ will be
glorified."
Flowers for the service were ar
/ ranged by Miss Meta Moore. A spe-
| cial number directed by Mrs. R. w.
Gulledge with Mrs. Lucille Davis at
the new Hammond organ was pre-
sented by the choir.
