her responsibility for world peace. But they insist that a umiversal peacetime draft of teen-age boys “would undermine rather than enhance our military strength, our moral leadership, ‘and our democratic way. of life.” Specific reasons for opposition listed by the committee are: ONE: Scientific developments have made mass armies unrealistic and a dangerous delusion of security. . . TWO: Conscriptive measures for any purpose except the most serious emergency violate the spirit and character of American life and are not necessary to maintain adequate peacetime armed forces. THREE: The proposed plan belies American commitment to the United Nations which alone holds hope for the realization of peace. FOUR: Such a program would

Meyers on Bond
WASHINGTON, Mar. 16 (UP) —Attaorneys for Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers were hopeful today that they could get the retired officer out of jail, at least temporarily. The 52-year-old Meyers, who once rode in his own chauffeurdriven blue Cadillac sedan, was taken in a dingy blue paddy wagon to the District of Columbia jail yesterday to begin his 20 months to five years sentence for subornation of perjury. He was convicted of persuading a business associate to lie to Senate investigators. Meyers’ lawyers have notified the U. 8. Circuit Court of Appeals that they will ask a review of the ‘case. They hope that court will authorize his release on’ bail pending the appeal. A motion for appeal is now being prepared and will be filed as soon as possible, it was said.
