‘CONGRESSMEN ~ COOL TO PLAN

Hoosier Legislators Not for Training Program, (Continued From Pase One)

in connection with the ROTC and national guard, but not: for universal training for one year. He also would increase attendance at " ‘the service schools. “I. believe the President selected an inopportune time to bring up the one-year universal training plan,” Rep. Gerald Landis (R. Ind.) declared, “Present reaction will result in negative approval. It is difficult to sell compulsory military training to the public. The President's message contained a well thought out plan, but it will not be favored because of the compulsory angle. This country is ready to pay for volunteers.” “1 was somewhat surprised at the President’s message,” Rep, Raymond 8. Springer’ (R. Ind) asserted. “Heretofore he has advocated an enlargement of the national guard with an expanded R. O. T. C. and C. M. T. C. and these, coupled with a sizeable army, navy, marine and air corps, should meet the need of any country without disturbing the education of our boys.” : Opposed to His Plans “He has completely changed his policy. I am in favor of his initial position, but I am opposed to his plan for compulsory conscription for all, the weak and strong alike, in time of peace.” Rep. Charles M. LaFollette (R. Ind.) said the message sounded good “but I want to see how it is to be implemented.” Rep. Ear] Wilson (R. Ind.) refused comment.

Opinions Divided on

Training Plan By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 24—Senior United States military officers feel that President Truman’s request for universal military . training came months too late to obtain its full effect. ; There is fear that our international influence will diminish as our armed might shrinks. The emer-

gency forces we created to help lick

the axis are shrinking fast. But there is no policy determined’ yet —nor likely to be for some time— on our post-war armed forces program, Congress gave a divided and cautious reception to the President's proposal for a year’s military training for all 18-year-old men. Administration leaders hoped for action. on the program before the end of the year. They feared that further delay would make the issue a political football in the 1946 elec~ tion campaign, Storm Warnings Raised * But storm warnings were raised by both Republicans and Democrats. The fact is that congress no longer shows the enthusiasm for universal military training that it did at one point during the war. The greatest uneasiness among military men is for the long haul, the years to come when they believe we must be in a position to diséourage attack if we are to enjoy national safety: The more immediate consideration is our relative significance in the world as society adjusts itself to peace. Suggestions that the universal military training recommendation was months late do not imply any criticism .of Mr. Truman. On the contrary, it is likely that the Presi-| dent's recommendations to congress yesterday went further than most! military men had dared hope.

Feel Earlier Action Needed But among senior officers of the armed services there is an anxious feeling that we should have adopted a strong and definite policy on postwar national defense before this. As long ago as last June. 16 a parade of army and navy men appeared before the house post-war military committee. Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief of staff, told the committee that adoption of a universal military training program was an immediate matter of “urgent necessity.” Marshall chooses his words carefully. When he says something is immediate and urgent he means it requires attention right now, That was four months ago.
