Need UMT Program
IT is a foregone conclusion that the universal military
training program newly announced by a special commis-
sion will be bitterly contested next year by many in^ con-
gress. This is so even though congress has endorsed the
UMT principle.
The 1951 bill establishing the commission to study the
issue and make recommendations was essentially the prod-
uct of delaying forces strongly opposed to UMT. A straight-
out measure creating a training program could get past just
t one house.
The same forces will be arrayed against UMT next year,
l Their strength may very well be augmented, since 1952 is
an election vear and many legislators are certain to view
* compulsory military training as repugnant politically as
higher taxes.
Nevertheless, the statesmen on Capitol Hill who under-
stand the imperative need for some sort of training system
must use every resource at their command to put a program
into effect in 1952. «
The entire American defense set-up, as concieved when
the Korean war shook the nation out of its sleep of com-
placency, is founded on the concept of reserve strength.
'THE men entrusted with rebuilding our military power
and gearing the economy to support it, recognized at the
start that we could not create a vast standing army nor con-
vert industry into a huge war machine. If war should be
successfully avoided, or at least long postponed, such an
army and war machine would impose burdens that might
spell economic ruin.
Therefore it was decided to pin our hope on the minimum
amount of “defense in being” necessary to prevent us from
being annihilated by a sudden enemy stroke—enough mili-
tary substance to allow us to hold off the adversary until
our full might can be organized and brought to bear against
him.
In the field of industry, that meant building more planes,
tanks, guns and other military essentials than we had had
since World war II. But, more importantly, it meant cre-
ating great additional reserve capacity to produce weapons,
so that with quick conversion we could be in high gear for
war.
That plan is making real strides. The economic founda-
tions of a successful defense are being soundly constructed.
OUT the same cannot be said in manpower. There the
^ requirement is for a tremendous pool of professionally
trained military reservists—men basically fit to jump into
advanced military schooling at the first signal of war. All
top military men are convinced of this necessity; the com-
plexity of modern warfare has doomed the largely untrained
civilian army on which we have depended in the past.
The potentials of lightning attack by air and land are far
too menacing today to permit us to enjoy the luxury of
leisurely creating an effective army and war machine virtu-
ally out of nowhere. The groundwork must be laid long in
advance, if disaster is not to be swift and sure.
The national security truining commission lias urged a
six-month training program for all 18-year-olds mentally
and physically qualified. It has gone out of its way to hedge
i/.e pian about with safeguards for the moral, religious ano.
educational development of American youth.
The commission’s plan commends itself to congress as one
carefully framed to meet all honest objection to UMT with-
out compromising the minimum fundamental of a training
program that really equips the nation with the military man-
power pool it vitally needs to be safe.

THE STORY: Elizabeth Brow-
nell a nurse, arrives at Blark Firs
Junrtion to care for Mrs. Lurien
Steinhart. an ared Invalid. On the
Ira'n she had noticed a blond voung
man who also left the train at her
stop. The young man offers to drive
Elizabeth to the Steinhart estate
in his station wagon.
* * *
II
A NXIETY gave way to annoyance.
** Elizabeth tapped her small foot
impatiently. Had the secretary at
tlie Nurse's Registry made a mistake
in the time? But surely not many
trains stopped at Black Firs, it was
too remote, too terribly forsaken.
8he walked to the edge ol the
platform. Beyond the single track
a plunging river tumbled over In-
truding boulders. A crude wooden
bridge spanned it in the distance
and beyond the tall pines she saw
the roseate glow that centers above
a cluster of lights. Was there a
village or was the name Black Firs
applied only to the Steinhart estate?
Could the Stelnharts be of such
over-awing importance that the sta-
tion bore the title of their property
rather than the name of the vil-
lage? She couldn't answer these
questions of course.
She stood motionless suddenly,
thinking she had heard the sound
of a motor against the running
chuckle of the river. But the night
was silent, heavy with the moist
scent of river-bank earth and the
cloying spiciness of decaying pine
needles.
Half an hour ticked by intermin-
ably.
Elizabeth glanced at the yellow-
white fluorescent numerals on her
watch. Nine-thirty; obviously some-
thing had gone wrong. Telling her-
self vehemently what she thought
of people who were Indefinite In
direction and Indifferent to time,
she picked up her bags and headed
for the rosy glow nnd the wooden
bridge leading to it.
She was halfway there when
the crude loose planking rumbled
under the weight of a car and the
prying' glare of headlights picked
her out against the rank roadside
growth. It was the station waRon
again. Again the blond head ducked
out of the driver's window.
"They didn't meet you. eh?"
He sounded amused, almost
pleased, and for a minute, Eliza-
beth tired by the bags and her ex-
asperating wait, thought of retort-
ing sharply. She finally managed,
"That seems to oe the case."
"Look here, I'm driving past
Black Firs, why don't you let me
give you a lift?"
* * *
yHE realized suddenly that her
^ suitcases seemed lo be filled
with concrete and her arms sag-
ging In Ihrtr sockets. She slid Ihto
the smooth leatherette scat With
a grateful sigh.
"I can't Imagine what went wrong.
I was told to take this train; they
were expecting me."
"There arc two 9 o'clock trains,
one in the morning. Bure you
hopped the right one?" .
She squirmed a Utile with dis-
may. "No, I’m not."
He chuckled, removing the unlit
pipe to stab at the road ahead.
"Hope one of them Is at the door
when I drive you up In this jitney.
Want to ace their faces. My name
isn’t exactly popular with you
Stelnharts."
"And what is that name?”
’’Bill Devanter. Suppose you’ve
heard about me?”
He glanced at her obliquely,
studying her face for reaction and
looking faintly disappointed when
there was none.
“I’m afraid not. 8houId I?”
"If you're a Steinhart. It’s ana-
thema to them."
* * *
IjSLIZABETH sighed and straight-
ened her skirt over her knees
with a prim little Jerk. "I must be
a total Ignoramus, though I thought
I covered the daily papers pretty
well. Everyone seems to think I
know more about the Stelnharts
than I do. Until 24 hours ago I
had never heard of them."
She was glad the road was
straight for he took his eyes off
it to stare at her Incredulously.
"You mean you're not one of
the vultures?"
"Vultures?"
"Purely a
Ohouls is more suitable to my
lot of them I’d say they were here
for a purpose.”
"You don’t make my Job sound
pleasant."
He grinned lopsidedly. “I’ve never
been noted as a diplomat so I may
as well say I wouldn't care to be
In your shoes. In a minute you'll
be finding out for yourself. Here
we are. Hospitable, isn't it?"
He swung over to the left-hand
side of the road. Massive wrought-
iron gates, solidly closed, defied
them. Beyond them an avenue of
tall firs hid the Steinhart mansion.
Devanter swung himself from be-
hind the wheel muttering. "Elec
trically controlled. Ill call the
i house.”
IfE returned to the car after

sentry-box type of structure. Min

Elizabeth was amused. “I sup-

"When you see the rest of them
you'll understand what I'm saying.

His comments were leaving her
more and more confused. Eliza

OEEMS to me the El Reno high-
® school band collects about as
many trophies as does any other
activity In our schools; and how
I do love a band.
It Is an Inspiration to marching
troops. It Is a stupendous stirrer-
upper of lagging enthusiasm and
the final filip which makes a
parade a fine form of entertain-
ment.
A band gives more people more
bounce to the ounce than a tub-
ful of vitamins. Every lad should
learn to toot a horn or beat a
drum as part of his secondary
education. The feminine head of
a civic Jamboree wrote to Paul
Whiteman's business manager ask-
ing how much of the Whiteman
band they could get for $100 to
play at the party. The answer,
abrupt, but significant was "One
sheet of music and a plcolo play-
er."
There’s another one I enjoy
about a band. This one playing in
a high wind and having difficulty.
The word passed they would “now
play number 64 In folio 10.” The
tuba player leaned toward the
French horn blower and said.
“Oh brother! I Just finished
playing that.”
And the very old one which
Is my pride and Joy about sax-
ophones. The proud possessor of a
new instrument was displaying it
in the comer store. "Kin you
play Annie Laurie on thet thing?"
"Sure kin.” replied the new per-
former. Whereupon he wet his
lips, got all set and played Swanee
River. "Heck,” remonstrated his
audience of one, “thet ain’t Annie
Laurie." “ "Taint, huh? Well Annie
Laurie’s what I blew in there. I

Idea Into a committee meeting and

it comes out? I have.

I-J these talks. When he first came
to Europe to take command of
Western European forces, he felt
that the subject of German rearm-
ament should be allowed to rest.
It had been talked up to the point
of confusing the German people.
They felt they were being pushed
into something. Elsenhower believed
they should be allowed to make up
their own minds, in their own self-
interest.
Now. however, he talks of the
tremendous advantage of bringing
Germany Into the European army.
He does not believe the Germans
can be brought Into the Western
army as Inferiors and he does not
want them In as mercenaries.
The Hessians were no good to the
British in the American Revolu-
tionary war. There Is no reason to
believe they would be any better
now. So the counsel for the Wlsen-
hower headquarters has been to
work for a flexible agreement—one
that will fit any future possibility.
This is now taken to mean that

IDAULT calls attention to the
fact that this Is not the entire
French armed force—a fact gen-
erally overlooked. There are 10 more
French divisions In Indo-Chlna, and
two divisions in Africa.
Nor is this the complete French
effort. The plan Is to have 15 di-
visions in Europe by the end of 1952
and 20 divisions by the end of 1953.
Behind these divisions will be re-
serves based on the French universal
military service program—capable of
expanding some of the regular di-
visions into two and three divisions.
The idea Is to qrtng these reserves
Into a state of readiness where they
can be mobilized within 48 hours.
This is a tremendous speed up over
the old five-day and 30-day mobil-
ization plans.
France has standardized her di-
visions and her ammunition with
American organization and specifi-
cation. An inspection of the 93rd
Infantry regiment showed U. S. 30
caliber rifles, Tommy guns, machine
guns, rockets and grenade launchers
in use.
The French rearmament program
calls for building a French airforce
able to support fully all French
ground troops, though this strength
is not now available.
