The Senate Armed Services Com
mittee was still considering the Uni
versal Military Training Program this
week. Members Of the National Sc
curity Training Commission which, at
the direction of Congress, drew Cp
details of UNIT to give six months
compulsory military training to all
eligible young men after they reach
the age of 18, said that if Congress
gives the signal UNIT can be under
way this year, possibly within few
months.
The committee was faced with a
race against time to complete action
on the UNIT bill by Feb. 81, the time
deadline fixed by Congress last year
when it approved the principle OF
UNIT and set up the National Security
Training Commission.
The Army came under fire in Con-
gress this week when Rep. Jack Z.
Anderson (R-Calif) accused it Of
either Colossal ignorance or almost
criminal negligence" in spending bill
lions for military supplies in the
nations mobilization program.
Touching off a stormy hearing be-
fore a House watchdog" committee,
Anderson declared that waste, eX-
travagance, red tape and the lack
of a single military buying system
are imposing an "unbearable" burden
on us. taxpayers.
The California lawmaker said cases
have been found where the military
has built up a 240-year supply of GER
tain items. Right now, he said, 10
billion dollars worth of "unservice-
able and uncatalogued items are
clogging military supply systems.
Deputy Defense Secretary William
c. Foster told the committee that he
thought the military had been made
the target of a lot of 'loose criticism.

The field, a pioneer in the field Of
commercial aviation, only recently
had acquired $50 acres of land to per-

expected to be increased under a mas

cepted a Communist proposal for in

3. Dropped its demands for aerial

4. Agreed to accept the concept of
limited rotation of troops during an

5. Agreed to limited rehabilitation
of North Korean airfelds for civilian

In the air war, Maj. George Davis,
U. S. jet ace, was shot down over
North Korea and presumed dead.

Alternatives to Breakdown
In Washington, meanwhile, some
u. S. policymkers were reported to
favor limited military action directly
against Red China if the Korean talks
collapse.
The alternatives in such an event
also include resumption Of full-scale

4. Many veterans took courses "for

S. "A minority of veterans have
conspired" to obtain benefits to which

extensively in the practice of selling

Inadequate Control
The committee went on to charge
that the Veterans Administration did
not exercise adequate control over
irresponsible veterans"
The overall conclusion of the COM
mittee was that the majority of seven
and a half million veterans who
availed themselves of VA training
benefited from the program.

being sought to get around its three

The drawbacks are:
l. Cancers in deeply buried soft

X-rays do not always show them.
2. Soft tissues move around in the
body. making it hard to keep the tar

3. The spreading Of cancer cells to
other parts Of the body makes theiE
elimination difficult by any method.

President Truman was quoted by
Rep. SABBATH (D-Ill) this week as say
ing he may be willing to make the
sacrifice" and seek reelection if he
feels it will be necessary to speed
the peace.
SABBATH said the President told him
the White House job sis a killing
job" but that if he actually felt he
would be of aid and help to America
and the world in bringing about a
peace" he would be willing to "sacri-
flee" himself and possibly shorten his
life expectancy.
SABBATH, 85 year-old chairman of the
House Rules Committee, said the
President told him he had not made
a final decision yet on his 1852 po-
litical plans.
In Harrisburg, Pa, petitions were
circulated to place Gen. Eisenhower's
