Educators Approve
General Provisions OF
Universal Draft Plan

The. American Council on Edu-
cation yesterday expressed genera
approval of Defense Secretary
Marshall's plan for a universal
draft of 18-year-olds.
The council resolution. passed
at the close of a two-day con-
ference at the Hotel Statler here
urged, however, that "all students
now satisfactorily pursuing courses
in institutions of higher educa-
tion" be deferred until they COM
plete their courses.
Under amendments to the Sc
lective Service Act of 1948 pro-
posed by Gen. Marshall, almost
all able-bodied 18-year-olds would
be put in uniform for 81 months
training. and none would be de-
ferred because he is a college stu
dent. However. a maximum of
$4,000 would be permitted to re-
turn to college annually after basic
training.
Figure Urged as Minimum.
The council resolution also urged
that the $4,000 figure be mini
mum rather than a maximum, with
the President having "the power
to increase the number at any
time he considers such action to
be in the national interest" The
council also believes the provision
for returning men to college after
basic training should be a con-
tinuing one rather than for only
three years as presently provided
in the bill"
All things considered, however,
the council went on record in
favor Of the Marshall proposals
because they are designed to
make the period of military train
ing and service as little disrup-
tive as feasible"
The council delegates yesterday
also heard Representative league,
Democrat, of Texas declare that
any CT bill of the future should
not be based. as the present law
is. on a blanket grant by the
Government to the veteran with
no strings attached"
Lines of Responsibility Asked.
Mr.. league, a member of the
House Committee on Veterans AZ
fairs and chairman Of a special
committee which recently COM
pleted an investigation OF the
veterans education program, said
definite lines Of responsibility must
be set up for both the Govern
ment and the veteran.
Another. speaker. Livingston L.
Blair, vice president of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. said that organi-
zation will undertake to train %
Americans in first aid
He said the National Security Re-
sources Board asked the Red Cross
to launch what will be the great
est training program in history"
The council deferred any def
mite action on various proposals
to return to the three-year college
courses offered tn World War II.
The president, DR.. Arthur s.
Adams, read letters from officials
of the Army, Navy and Air Force
stating that they see no occasion
at the present time to call for
accelerated programs in their
various college ROTC units.

ing that the French have been

sions by the end of this year. This
includes $1,000 fighting men in
Indo- China.
The spokesman complained

New Monument Stone
Honors State Of Utah

A memorial stone plaque hon
oring Utah was unveiled in the
Washington Monument today.
Financed through contributions
OF school children, the marker
was inserted at the 220-foot level
directly under the century-old
stone authorized on February 10,
1851, by the General Assembly
of the State of Deseret'-
name of the Mormon Territory
which later became the State of
Utah.
Senator Watkins, Republican,
of Utah presented the new stone
at ceremonies attended by a large
group of Utahans at the level of
the market. Maj. Gen. U. S.
Grant, Sd, accepted it on behalf
of the Washington National Mon
ument Society, a commission in
existence since 1888 and having
charge of the memorial to the
first President. Supt. Edward j.
Kelly of National Capital Parks,
under which the Monument is
administered. Joined in thank
Ing the Utahans for their gift.
The old 'Deseret" stone mystifies
many persons, including some
present-day Utahns. The new
marker explains the nature of the
original stone which is decorated
with a beehive, symbolizing the
works of the Mormon pioneers.
The hive is still shown on the
Great Seal of Utah. The word
"Deseret" is a term taken from
the Book of Mormon, and has ref
erence to the honey-bee, SO park
officials explained.
The Utah stone brings to 189
the memorial markers inserted in
the interior walls of the Washing
ton Monument as gifts from
States, organizations, foreign
countries and individuals.

Whether Communists
Required Cards Issue
In Remington Trial
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-The
question whether a Communist
Party card was a requisite for
party members in the 1930s con-
tinueo as a leading issue today in
the william w. Remington per-
jury trial.
Paul Crouch. At. Miami news
paperman and former party Or
ganizer in Tennessee. said there
were scores of cases" Of Com
munist Party members holding no
membership cards. He said party
discipline In the South was "ex-
tremely lax" and he said there
were periods of several months
when he lacked a supply OF such
forms and documents because the
supply at the national office in
New York was exhausted tenn
porarily.
Two prosecution witnesses tes-
titled yesterday that Remington,
former Department of Commerce
economist had engaged in Com
munist Party activities. But they
did not establish that he ever
carried card.
One of the witne&es admitted
he did not reveal his own former
Communist Party membership in
his successful application for a
Navy commission in 1943. De-
fence counsel informed Federal
Judge Gregory F.. Noonan that
they had subpoenaed the witness
file from the Navy.
Remington is accused of lying
to a Federal grand jury when he
denied ever being a Communist
Party member.
Naval Officer Testifies
The defense contends that a
prime requirement of party men,
bership was a party card.
The Government maintains that
1t was possible to be Communist
Party member without holding a
card.
One Government witness was
Howard A. Bridgman, ex-naval Of
ficer and now assistant professor
of economics at Tufts College,
Medford. Mass. He testified that
Remington took an "active and
vigorous" part in Communist
meetings in Knoxville, Tenn, in
the late 1930s.
Bridgman said both he and
Remington had been employed as
messengers by the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority. Bridgeman described
several meeting at the home of
Communist Party official in 1887
at which he said Remington was
present.
The witness said he himself
Joined the party in 1886 and re-
ceived a party card by mail two
years later.
No Dues From Remington.
A preceding witness, Kenneth
E. Mcconnell, of Weaverville, N.
c., testified he did not know of
any Communist Party member
who did not have a party card
at some time.
Mcconnell, who was the Com
munist unit organizer at Knox
vile when Remington was en-
ployed there, said he did not see
Remington carry card, nor did
he receive party dues from the
defendant.
Mcconnell added, however, that
Remington could be a member
of the Communist Party" even
though no membership card was
issued him.
