WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. —
(U.P.) — President. Truman
today called for one year of
military training — as op-
posed to military service —
for every male American.
The training would begin at
18 years of age or upon gra-
duation from high school.
The President told a joint ses-
sion of congress that although the
United States will use all its morsl
influence to maintain the peace,
the nation must face the fact that
peace must be built on power as
well as good will.
, ‘To maintain that power we
must art now." the President said.
His proposal for universal train-
ing provides no exemptions for
occupation, dependency, or any
other reason except total physical
disqualification,
“All men should be included In
training, whether physically
qualified for actual combat serv-
ice or not,” .the President said.
