|tions which is difficult to meet in
view Of present worldwide require
ments. Up to 13 months are re-
|quired in Army school courses to
produce the high-level specialists
who are in increasing demand as
technology expands. Therefore.
the 24-month inductees cannot be
trained for these jobs.
The cost of training, processing,
ETC.. il spread over the 16 months,
means that the average expendi-
ture for simply making a soldier
available for actual service is
equal to $225 for each month of
productive service. This is In adj
dition to all the other costs, such
as pay and allowances, during the
actual service itself.
The figure, of course, decreases
progressively as long as the man
remains in uniform and great ef-
fort is expended to get the in
ductees to re-enlist. The cost of
training for a man who volun-
teers for the minimum period of
three years averages $133 q
month or about so per cent less
than for the 24-month inductee.
Inductees spend the largest T art
OF their. eight months Of training
and processing in basic tralring
installations. There they remain
for ll2- days and it is estimated
that the total cost per man is al
most $2,700.
Cost estimates include a pri-
Yates pay and allowances, cost of
clothing. housing. subsistence and
expenses Of the installations in
cluding personnel assigned there.

Pastor Sees Threat
To College Freedom
Ii, Industry Gifts

A Lutheran minister today
warned private colleges against
lndiscriminate acceptance of con-
from industry for fear
that the institutions might lose
their freedom of action.
The Rev. Joseph Simonson,
director of public relations, Ma
tional Lutheran Council, said,
There is a strong feeling among
some businessmen that they
should come into the picture to
higher education in
America. They feel that if edu-
cation in America should become
totally public it would pose a
threat to free enterprise. There
fore they believe that private free
industry must come to the finan-
cial assistance Of private free edu-
cation because the doom of one
may be the doom of the other"
Mr.. Simonson spoke at a Ma
tional Lutheran Education Con-
ference meeting at the Burlington
Hotel. The conference has 28
Lutheran colleges, IA theological
seminaries and five junior colleges.
Conditions Feared.
Mr.. Simpson pointed out that
the danger was not in accepting
the contributions so much as, in
accepting any conditions attached
to these contributions.
Speakers on panel declared
that many seminaries are falling
down In preparing their students
for the ministry.
Donald Clinton, a senior at
HANNA Divinity School, Spring.
field. Ohio. told the gathering that
frequently the teaching Is mot
adequate"
"The time spent on practical
courses has not been used to its
fullest potential" he insisted.
Position of Teachers Cited,
Seminary professors are mostly
100 Tar away from the actual
field of service to know all the
problems involved" the Rev. viii
liam E. Baker Of Baldwin, Long
Island, charged. "It is very easy
to get into a groove and to saw
certain things about things YOU
do not know at flrst-hand.
Another speaker. DR.. H. r.
kilsnder of Washington, suggest
ed that the ministers do not have
enough courses dealing with youth
work while in the seminary. The
speaker insisted that this was par
ticularly important for actual
parish work.
The educators will elect officers
later today. DR.. Edgar M. Carl
son. president of Gustavus Adolf
phus College. is the head of the
conference.
The meeting will close tonight

Hogan Sees 100000 Golfers
Beating Him, but He Likes Idea
By the Assoeiated Press

DALLAS, May 30.--The course
over which the National Open will
be played gets its first big test
tomorrow when Champion Ben
Hogan shoots against everybody.
It will be National Golf Day"
and all golfers, male and female,
will be playing on their home
courses in an effort to beat Ben
Hogan"
Little Ben expects at least l00,-
900 to beat him. The reason: He'll
be shooting on one of the toughest
courses in the country while
golfers playing against him will
have all sorts of handicaps and
be playing on every kind of course.
But he says it's wonderful
idea" because all golfers will have
to pay to play and the money goes
to the USO and to the National
Golf Fund. THE only thing /
dread about it" he smiled, 'is
having to hear the golfers tell
me how they beat me as ] go over
the country: I'll get a descrip-
ton of every drive and putt"
However, it will give Hogan the
opportunity to really go all-out
on the Northwood Club course,
