Red Peril May Persist
For 70 Years, Bradley
Tells Senate Hearing
Urges l8-Yeor-OId Druft
Readiness of Reserves,
Physical Standards Cut
By George Beveridqe

Gen. Bradley urged Congress
today to approve a long-range
armed forces expansion program
to meet a threat from inter-
national communism which may
persist for 10, Is or 20 years."
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff told the Senate
Preparedness subcommittee he is
in complete accord with the Pen
tagon's plan to draft 18-year -olds
for 81 months and then route
them into expanded reserve forces.
He was the Administrators
final witness in presenting the
new manpower proposal to the
Senate. At the same time:
l. He declared that Reserve and
National Guard forces must be
ready for combat in 80 days to
three months rather than the
normal 10 to IL months"
2. Urged that physical stand
ards be cut to take in many
limited service" men who are not
fit for combat.
Bans Total Mobilization.
The military leader said it
would be chaotic and expensive"
to begin all-out mobilization now.
Instead, he said, the armed serv :
ices must develop a three-pronged
program to be ready to avert
disaster for this country, retaliate
Immediately against the enemy,
and be ready to throw reserve
forces into all-out war.
He said he thought there is
little real danger now of the
continental United States being
invaded and overrun.
This does not mean that we
believe the Air Forces and anti
aircraft defences we recommend
will preclude any possibility of
this country being bombed. If a
determined enemy is willing to ex-
pend the effort, some bombers will
get through"
Argues for 18-year- olds.
Gen. Bradley told the committee
he believes that "as the years go
on we are going to have to take
all qualified 18-year-olds" to make
the proposed draft a truly uni
versal program.
Consistently during the hear
ings, committee members have
drawn statements from witnesses
that either 18-year- -olds or older
men with dependents and veter-
ans must be drafted to build a
3.5-million-man armed force.
Gen. Bradley stressed that to
take 18-year-olds would involve
far less disruption of civilian life
than to take older men. Fur
ther, he said, 18-year- -olds then
would be left free to begin their
civilian careers after training
without interruption.
OF more Importance, however,
he declared, is the fact that a

Reports on Reforms
In Accounting Show
Tons Of Paper Saved
Maritime Agency Cuts
Personnel by II Pct. in
Change Of Division Routin,
By Froncis P. DouqIos

Three top Government officials
reported today on their joint eff
forts to reform accounting pro-
cedures in the various departments
and agencies.
Some of the most striking dis
closures were these:
l. Elimination of duplicate or
otherwise unnecessary accounts has
not only cut the work involved
but also has cut paper consump-
ton by tons. How many tons was
not estimated.
2. A similar reduction of miles
in this case figurative-of red
tape.
3. In one agency, the Maritime
Administration, a reduction of
more than 27 per cent in the
division of accounts personnel be-
cause Of simplification. At the
same time current work is kept
up to date and the accounting
backlog is being reduced.
Flood of Documents Stemmed.
4. A start on damming the flood
of documents shipped to Wash
ington from field Offices. The
Hoover Commission described
these as being shipped to the Gen.
eral Accounting Office here by the
boxcar load.
S. A long step toward making
Government accounting useful
tool of administration.
The progress of the reforms was
reported at a joint press confer
ence by Controller General Lind

Treasury John w. Snyder and

Mcmahon Urges.
Peace Offensive.
On Soviet People
Senator Would Go
Over StuIin's Head
To Prove Friendship
By J. A. Oleory

A peace offensive designed to
reach the Russian people over
Stalin's head was urged today by
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat, OF
Connecticut, to avert another
world war.
While favoring "all the tanks
planes and atomic weapons We
need to frustrate Stalin's designs, u
Senator Mcmahon said war is in
evitable unless we act boldly and
Immediately to wrench history
from its present course"
He proposed that Congress pass
two resolutions:
l. Expressing friendship for the
people of Russia by the people OF
the United States. and request the
Soviet government to make il
known in Russia.
2. Pass a resolution urging the
U. N. to bring about a disarma-
ment program with the under
standing that If it succeeds the
United States would spend for
world betterment what it other
wise would have to spend on
weapons for the next five years.
Revival of Earlier Proposal.
The second proposal is a reviva,
OF plan Senator McMahon ano
six of his colleagues offered orig
inally last June, just before the
shooting started in Korea.
The Connecticut Senator took
the floor on the eve of the test
vote set for tomorrow afternoon
on the Wherry resolution urging
President Truman not to COM
NIT American troops to Western
Europe until Congress adopts a
policy on that subject.
The troops-for-Europe issue is
settling down into an argument
over the number that should go
but that question will not be set
tied until Gen. Eisenhower re-
turns with a report on his current
tour of the North Atlantic de-
fenSe area.
Soviet Propaganda Cited.
Senator McMahon's speech was
based on the theme that Russia
is out : maneuvering the free
world with propaganda.
"They have tagged America
with the epithet 'warmonger' ano
sold it to an alarming extent,
the Senator said. while this
fraudulent campaign has been
going on. they have maintained
their internal strength through
the Iron Curtain"
Senator Mcmahon also sug-
gested the U. N. should assert the
right to operate its own radio
station within the Soviet Union
He said he is not naive enough
to suppose that Stain will rush
to accept such a proposal" His
argument was that refusal OF
Russian leaders to go along with
his peace proposals would show
the world who is for peace and as
against war.
Warns Against Arms Race.
Senator Mcmahon recalled that
when he first proposed his dis
armament plan last year, with
control of atomic weapons as an
essential part, he had in mind
saving $50 billion that would have
been spent in weapons in the next
five years. His plan contemplated
