House Uphold: Tax Bill Veto By
Truman Asks Public Support Army Training
Calls Program Vital
To National Welfare
By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, N. J, June 17.—A renéwed plea for universal training in this country as an antidote for totalitarian pressure on smaller nations abroad was made today by President Truman. He voiced his plan as Princeton observed its 200th anniversary.
Mr. Truman, -after receiving an
a shady grove of ancient elms in front of old Nassau hall on the Princeton® campus. The tranquil scene was in decided contract to the main theme of his nationally broadcast speech which told of con« tinuing threats to world peace. Mr.: Truman has called on con~ gress fof universal training, but thus far has received no positive results. Today, he appealed to the public, asking “support” for a program “vital to the national welfare.” ° Guests : “Weakness on our part would stir fear among small or weakened nations that we are giving up our world leadership,” he told an audience of distinguished guests and Princeton alumni. “It would seem to them that we lacked the will to fulfill our pledge to aid free and independent nations to maintain their freedoms, or our commitments to aid in restoring war-torn economies.” “In such an atmosphere of uncertainty,” he cautioned, “these nations might not be able to resist the encroachments of totali-
we need.” Before Congress Now The program, which is now before congressional committees, calls for six months of continuous training for all youths and another six months in any of several optional services. Such a program; the President said, is needed to support United States -foreign policy “until such time as the growing authority of ithe United Nations will make such strength unnecessary.” Mr. Truman had a lot of things to say in praise of Princeton and the system of higher education. But his speech shook down to a focal point—he wants universal training. Listening to his address, along with the Princeton graduating class, were such national figures as Fred M. Vinson, chief justice .of the United States; Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, army chief of staff; His Eminence Eugene Cardinal Tisserant; Warren R. Austin, the American delegate to the United Nations; Bernard M. Baruch, adviser to Presidents since the first world war, and Serge Koussevitzky, conductor of the Boston symphony. In all, Princeton awarded 36 honorary degrees. on the occasion of its bicentennial. «oo Big for One Nation Mr. Truman said he was acutely aware of the monumental «size of the task of rebuilding the war-torn world and called for help. Mr. Truman added that “even though we are contributing generously and wholehearfedly, no single nation has the means to set the world aright.” This obviously was directed at Soviet Russia, with whom this nation has been having rough sledding in trying to work out a program for world recovery. In Grave Mood After warning that friendly nations must not bg allowed to deteriorate by default, Mr. Truman went into length on his universal
.|training recommendations as an
antidote for national weakness which would damage our world position. “It will be an experience in democratic living, out of which should gome in increased measure the unity so beneficial to the welfare of the nation,” he said. The President, in a grave mood, summed up his conclusions on universal training thus: “We must remember, above all, that these men would not be training in order to win a war, but in order to prevent
