WASHINGTON, May 29 til —
Advocates of universal military
training were confident today the
nation eventually will get a UMT
program out of a compromise bill
agreed upon by a Senate-House
committee.
The group Monday worked out a
draft-UT T measure under which
Congress has to vote again on some
aspects of UMT before the six-
month training program could be
set in motion.
The bill also would extend the
draft law for four years and low-
er the induction age from 19 to
18%. The present act expires July
9. The new bill sets up a 5 million
manpower celling on the armed
forces, exclusive of the Coast
Guard.
Chairman Russell (D-Ga) of the
House Armed Services Commit-
tee said the machinery for UMT
should be all ready by the end of
this year.
None of the lawmakers expect
the President or Defense Depart-
ment to try to put the training
program into effect until after the

body, “Man of the Year".

Korean War, which brought on the
present emergency call-up.
Th. Senate probably will take
up the compromise bill Thursday
or F iday. The house may act next
week.
The compromise requires later
congressional approval, not on the
training program itself, but on
three points connected with the op-
eration of UMT. No youth could be
taken for training until Congress
approves proposals on:
1. A code of conduct This In-
volves a system of military just-
tice applying to trainees: it would
be milder than in the regular arm-
ed services.
2. Death and disability benefits.
3. Recommendations dealing with
the safety, health, welfare and
morals of the trainees.
All of the recommendations
would come from a five-member
commission named by the Presi-
dent. with Senate confirmation, to
exercise general supervision over
the training. Three commissioners
would be civilians, two active or
retired military men. Actual ope-
ration would be under the Defense
Department.
Russell, long a UMT advocate,
said he could not imagine congress
voting down any of the three
points.
Other conferees agreed that ac-
ceptance of the conference report ,
would bring UMT closer than ever.
before in U. S. history. It has been
urged many times, by President
Truman, Secretary of Defense
Marshall and others, all the way
back to President George Wash-
ington.
The conferees also agreed that
members of the inactive and vol-
unteer reserve who have served a
year in World War Two must be
let out after 17 months of a second
tour of duty. This might bring
earlier release from active duty to
about 200,000 reservists.
The provision does not apply to
Organized Reservists or National
Guardsmen.
