for a hundred years after the first
presidents death that his recon-
mendations were finally adopted By
+ Congress. In spite Of the long peri
Cd Of Federal neglect, however, the
militia furnished the forces that
bore the first shock of. enemy ae-
ton throughout the nineteenth cen
tury. They were the troops who
were Immediately ready to supple
ment our small Regular Army, and
who held the line while the nation
took time to mobilize.
About fifty years ago, the Con
gress finally adopted the program
Washington recommended, an d
gave the states effective support
IN training their militias. Since
that time. the National Guard has
been, in the words OF General
George Marshall, .'in the first cate
CORY Of importance" in America s
defense planning.
In World War I, the Guard fur
nisiled II divisions, numbering
$50 900 men and made up two
fiftls Of the entire AEF.
I'or World War II, the Guard
furnished 18 divisions and 300, 600
men. It's call to duty in 1910 inn
mediately doubled the strength Of
our Army.
During the Korean War. 165, 900
Guardsmen were called to active
duty.
Under the new Reserve Forces
Act, which imposes a military OBJ
legation on every young man when
he REACHES the age of Is, a choics.
must be made as to what type Of
service will be performed. The
Guard offers a wider selection of
choices than any other component.
and can tailor the mans obligated.
service to his own personal and
family situation.
Basicaily, there are three choices,
for men under 1879 years of age:
Cd induction under Selective Ser
vice for two years. followed by six
years Reserve service; CD a COM
bination of a shorter period Of ac-
tive duty, followed by enough Nat
ional Guard or Reserve to make a
total Of eight years; (S) service
with a hometown National Guard
unit until age %. for men who be-
cause of school or business cannot
take several months Of active-duty
training.
The National Guard is the only
component of the Reserve forces
chat allows a man to fulfill his
military obligation without leaving
home. If a man can take active duty
training for three to six months, it
lis Of course highly recommended
since he will become a well-trained
Guardsman that much sooner.
F'ull-time National Guardsnen
are on duty in each Of the states
National Guard armories. They are
prepared to answer any questions
young men or their parents may
have about obligations under the
new law. They are anxious to help
men plan the fulflllnent. Of their
military obligations with the least
possible interference With their.
future careers.

Democratic Governors Hold Key

PEELED to draw the issue within
the party on civil rights. It did
go that way in 1913 when the
issue was drawn. The delegates
were emotional about the
Democratic heartland - the
faithful South-but when they
had to choose, they cast their
lot with the big States where
Presidential elections are won
and lost. And President Tru-
man was reelected.
The pull of those States on
the practical politicians was
re-emphasized only last week
when a Senate which began
as rather hospitable to the idea
Of electoral reform, thought
it over. 1t seemed simpler just
to leave the old electoral COL
lege as is.
To add to the problems
Of moderate Southerners, there
are signs that their 1852 friend,
President Eisenhower. may fol-
low the natural gas veto with
a stab at segregationiSts. The
President has limited that II
Congress doesn't set up a civil
rights commission, he will do so
himself.
1t has been a recurrent
nightmare OF liberal Democrats
that Republicans might throw
over their coalition in Congress
with conservative Southerners,
abandon the South and pitch
their campaign at the pivotal
States.
