Military Training
i:Xdll3rE2aIi&30f

IT'S a safe bet that congress will
not legislate universal military
training program for 18-year-olds
during the present session. Prob
ably standby" law for future
emergencies will be enacted-but
that's all.
The proposed UNIT bill now before
congress would provide for 10
months of service, including six
months of basic training, for all
18hs-year-old youths in peacetime
after the present selective service
law has expired.
Thus, the UNIT program could
not be initiated in the foreseeable
future, since the present selective
service or draft law will not be
allowed to expire during the Korean
War or during any threatening crisis
thereafter.
At closed-door session Of the
house armed services committee re-
Gently, Chairman Carl Vinson Of
Georgia tried to put over a Penta-
gon-approved compromise whereby
UNIT would be launched on a trial
basis with an initial force of $4,000
volunteers.
However, the Georgia con-
gresham pulled In his ears and
abandoned the scheme when he
couldn't get single solid back
er among his Democratic and
Republican colleagues.
Congressman James Patterson
Comm, Arthur Winstead (Miss.),
Walter Norblad (Ore.), Clyde Doyle
of California, and others pointed out
that it would be impractical and
costly to have token UNIT and the
draft program operating simulta-
neously. They also argued there
wouldn't be enough seasoned Off
GERS to train UNIT volunteers unless
they were recalled from combat.

Eisenhower Smears

The smears which President Tru-
man predicted for his friend Dwight
Eisenhower have already started-in
Maine and California. In the latter
state, the so-called BIPARTISAN Re-
publicans," who do not otherwise
identify themselves, are circulating
copies of scurrilous sheet accus-
ing Eisenhower of being a stooge
for Stain.
Here are some typical smear
quotes:
1.-THE Communist party did not
officially support Eisenhower for the
presidency, but gave him a great
ovation and boost at their conven-
ton in New York on May 20, 1914.
Communists unanimously greeted
three great men, who were: JOS
eph Stain, Marshal Tito and Dwight
Eisenhower.
THE Soviet gangsters decorated
Eisenhower with the Order of Su-
vorov which is given to those who
serve the Soviet cause. What serv-
ice did Eisenhower perform to war
rant this great (?) honor? We re-
member that Roosevelt selected
Eisenhower over 1886 senior officers.
Roosevelt knew that other generals
would refuse to perform the pro-
Soviet role which Eisenhower so
obediently played"
"1n the last stages of his career
as president of Columbia .Univer-
sity, Eisenhower again revealed his
peculiar pro-Soviet bias. The case
in point is the acceptance of $50, 1000
subsidy from the Communist gov
eminent of Poland by Columbia uni
versity. This subsidy was donated to
further Communism"
Later Names Sen. Owen
Brewster, a member of the Taft
inner circle, got hold of the
above smear sheet and helned to
have 1t circulated in Maine.

The woman became i'll Saturday
night. Sunday she became worse
and could not get doctor. When
alarmed roomers called the police
squad car which patrols that dis
trict the officers came.
One of the officers called the
General Hospital for an ambul-
ance. After waiting for As minutes
for the ambulance to come the
policeman returned in the lodging
house again and called the hospit-
al. Whoever was on the line Mrs.
Jackson claimed asked the officer
II the sick person was "colored,"
the officer wanted to know what
difference does it make"
However, no ambulance ever
came to take the woman to the
hospital. Finally roomers secured
car and took her to hospital.
Mrs. Jackson said she was suf-
fering from extreme pain from
ptomaine poison. Physicians on
duty examined but she said did
nothing to relieve her pain. After
three hours they decided that they
could not treat her because Of
her income wos too high. She said
she offered to pay for some tenn
porary relief but they insisted that
she look up her regular doctor.
The 70 year woman was taken
back home by two roomers and
finally a doctor was secured for
Mrs. Jackson after she had suf-
fered for hours.
Richard Scarece and Harry
Lewis two dodgers at Mrs. Jack
sons establishment were witnesses
to the treatment which Mrs. Jack
son says she received at the hands
of the hospital staff.
