Screening Procedure
Revised by Army 10
Weed Out Slow Men
Aimed at Avoiding Cost
Of Those Unable to
Absorb Troinine Fully

The Army has adopted a new
screening procedure for inductees
in an attempt to weed out mer
who are unable to abosrb mill
tary training.
An Army Department spokes-
man predicted the new plan would
result in a tremendous saving ir
money and time devoted to train
ing men who have to be returned
to civilian life because they can.

Previously, any recruit who hao
a ninth grade education ano
passed the physical examination
could be accepted by the Army
even if he failed his mental test
Interviews to Be Given.
IT was found, however. that
such acceptance resulted in the
induction of a large number Of
men whose intelligence was too
low to absorb military training.
For example, the spokesman
pointed out, at one induction sta
tion in the Washington area, rs
per cent of the inductees who
failed to get a passing score on
their tests had to be discharged
after they began training.
Under the new plan. those who
have the required educational and
physical qualifications but who
fail in their written tests will be
given interviews by personnel
officers.
Background to Be Determined.
During the interviews such
things will be determined as the
inductee's home background, his
former occupation and earnings
and his parents education. From
these facts will be obtained a
definite determination of whether
the inductee has the ability to
undergo military training.
The spokesman said the inter-
views also will help personnel
officers pick out many men who
purposely failed their mental
tests.

Training Plan
For Co||egians
Voted by Senate
Would Let $4,000
Go Back to Studies
After Basic Duty
By George Beveridqe

The Senate today voted, SO to
81, to leave in its draft bill pro-.
vision allowing up to $4,000 young
servicemen year to go to college
after finishing their basic training.
Immediately after the vote, Sem
ators began discussing the bills
most controversial question -
whether to write a permanent uni
versal military training program
on the statute books along with
draft expansion moves to meet the
immediate emergency.
Under rigid limitations on de-
bate, Democratic leaders hope to
dispose of a large number of
amendments and get q final vote
on the entire draft measure by
tonight.
Civilian Commission Favored.
In voting down an amendment
to strike the 75,0O0-student de-
ferment provision. the Senate en-
dorsed a proposal that civilian
commission be set up to select
young men for essential COL
lege study in order to insure a
steady flow of scientists and other
key experts.
In addition. however. the bill
continues the Presidents present
authority to defer from any draft
service as many other college
students-possibly hundreds Of
thousands-as he sees fit. Actu-
ally, the $4,000 provision first was
proposed with the idea that it
apply to about 100000 18-year-
olds who would be drafted imme-
ciately. But in its present form,
the bill virtually prohibits large
scale inductions of men at 18 in
the near future.
Senators Gordon of Oregon and
Bricker of Ohio, Republicans, pro-
tested that there is no adequate
way to tell whether the men sent
to college at early ages actually
will be of any future value to the
Nation.
UNIT Debate Limited.
Senators agreed to a two-hour
debate limit on the key UNIT issue.
with a vote scheduled for mid
afternoon. The vote will be on
amendments by Senators Bricker
and Edwin Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, to wipe out the UNIT
provision entirely or, failing that,
to let Congress decide on UNIT at
a later time.
Closely tied in with this amend
ment is one to be called up by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
TO place four-year limit on the
life OF the entire draft measure.
This also would, in effect, provide
for reconsideration of any UNIT
program approved at this time.
The bill is set up as permanent
legislation with the idea that the
armed forces could swing into a
UNIT program for 18-year-olds
at such time as those youths no
longer are needed as part of q
large standing force.
Senator Edwin johnson pro-
tested that the UNIT program is
being proposed along with the
popular drive for draft expansion.
and that the two should be con-
sidered in separate bills.
In an address prepared for
support of the universal training
proposal. Senator Cain. Republic
can, OF Washington. said ne
spoke as the father of a teen
aged boy "who deserves every rea-
sonable chance to live" He added:
Too often in the frantic, end.

TOKYO, Mar. 9.-Allled troops

casualties from the roaring artil-

infantry attacks.
The prisoners said they were
short of food and ammunition.
They said also that other Chinese
soldiers were eager to surrender,
mainly because their officers al
most invariably fled when artil-
lery barrages hit their defense
positions.
Counterattack Checked.
On the east-central front, South
Korean troops checked counter
