. Chandler Urges Speed-up in Post-War Physical Training

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 (U. P.). ~Senator A. B. (Happy) Chandler (D. Ky.), one of the most sportsminded men in congress, today urged a post-war speedup of physical training and competitive < gports programs to aid in the reconversion from war to peace. Such a program, he said in an interview, might well include a general rebuilding of antiquated or run-down athletic plants, possibly through federal assistance, Emphasizing that war has revealed that physical fitness on a broad scale is lacking among Americgn men, Chandler urged adoption of a program which would afford wider participation, particularly among the youngsters of the country, in competitive Sports.

He pointed out that such a pro- |

gram could furnish employment for “hundreds” of returning soidiers as health. instructors. “These men would be capable of filling the job because of their physical education work in the army,” he asserted. Chandier said that plans for the disposal of surplus property could well include ways in which sports equipment in training camps and Bt overseas bases could be collected
