The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1952-03-06

The House OF Representa-
tives has voted To send the
Universal Military Training
bill back to committee. The
bill would have required able
bodied youths to undergo six
months of military training
on reaching the age Of Is. II
would have kept them in the
reserves and subject to recall
for a period of 7h years after
completing their training.
This bin may not have been
perfect-bnt at least it was a
start in the right direction.
The action of the House in vir-
tually killing the hill for this
session is objectionable and is
quite in keeping with the me-
diocre government we have in
Washington now. It's just what
we would expect from a poll
tics ridden group in an cleo
ton year.
The American people don't
want compulsory, military
training - neither do they
want war. But they realize
even if their congressman
don't that if America is to
continue her present world
leadership through member
ship in the United Nations she
must be prepared to back 1t
up with an army of trained
fighting men.
We cannot have our cake
and eat it too. We cannot
fight communism all over the
world and at the same time
sit at home in an easy chair.
AS matter of record we
are the only major nation in
the world that does not have
universal, compulsory military
training and in most ma
tons it is for a period Of one
or two years, not just SIX
months.
We are glad to report that
our own Third District Con-
gresham Frank Smith tho
relation of mine) voted against
sending the bill back to COM
mittee. He was joined by
Rep. Winstead. All other Mis-
sissippi congressman voted for
sending the bill back TO COM
mittee (the action that killed
the legislation except Con-
gresham Rankin who was
reported absent or not voting.
Down in McComb the So
ciety editor of the McComb
Enterprise-Journal has just
married a New York million
aire - who came to McComb
in connection with establish
ing a mill of some kind there.
This is no doubt another
advantage Of the BAWI pro-
gram an opportunity to
lure eastern millionaires to
the South to establish plants
and wed southern brides.
At least that's one way of
getting some of that northern
capital in southern hands.

A. P. HILL MILITARY RESER-

the dwindling strength of National

squarely on the shoulders of
"Pentagon brass" by Maj. Gen.
Milton A. Reckord, adjutant gen.

Gen. Reckord. here to make a
field inspection of National Guard
units of the Free State in training
as part of the 29th Infantry Divi-

|salvo at the Washington defense
directors. Gen. Reckord COM
manded the Goth when it was first
called to active duty in 1941.
81 am not angry at anybody, "
ne said, "but do want to give
some people something to think
about. It is with keen regret that
7 find many units which I OBJ
served in training are far below
the strength desired.
Generally, this is not the fault
of the unit commanders, but rath-
Ter the blame lies on the high brass
lat the Pentagon. For some rea-
son or other they will not see
the necessity for maintaining our
reserve forces at proper strength,
even when they know that suffi-
cient men are available. There
are plenty Of men to keep our
strength at the desired level"
