Military Training Unit
Ends Hearing as Foes
Charge Biased Tactics
ly Associated Press
The House Armed Services Com
mittee formally concluded public
consideration of universal military
training late yesterday with a bar
rage of opposition testimony and
complaints of “unbalanced” hear
ings.
After hearinng Norman Thomas,
the last of 22 witnesses since the
hearings started June 18, Chairman
Andrews referred the subject to a
subcommittee headed by Represent
ative Towe, Republican, of New
Jersey “for such future action as
they may take.”
Mr. Towe's group will meet early
next week to decide what to do. It
may order more hearings, since Rep
resentative Short, Republican, of
Missouri, second-ranking commit
teeman, has demanded them with
the argument that opposition wit
nesses haven’t had a full oppor
tunity to present their case.
Disagree as to Action Now.
Private polls Indicated the 10
member Towe subcommittee has a
majority in favor of universal train
ing but not a majority in favor of
action at this session of Congress.
The group will "have before it sev
eral bills, including one embracing
recommendations of President Tru
man's special commission. The com
mission called for a universal train
ing program as a national security
measure.
,The decision to end full commit
tee hearings drew an outburst of
complaints from groups that have
not been heard. Among the com
plainers were the National Farmers’
Union, several church organizations,
the National Commission on Chris
tian Higher Education, the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People and the Na
tional Council for Prevention of
War.
Favoritism Is Alleged.
Frederick J. Libby, executive sec
retary of the latter organization,
protested that the hearings have not
been “balanced’' and have shown
favoritism for proponents. More
than 100 groups, he said, unsuccess
fully sought a chance to be heard.
Mr. Thomas, long-time leader of
the Socialist Party, testified that
by adopting * universal military
training now, Congress would em
bark on a policy “which contem
plates war against Russia” in Eu
rope or Asia within the next 10
years. -
“The last great chance for world
peace depends upon an American
appeal for universal disarmament
under effective but strictly limited
world government,” he said.

nutritious qualities.
Row in Czech Cabinet
On Paris Bid Reported
ly Ilia Associated Press
PRAGUE, July 12.—Political In
formants said last night the emer
gency cabinet session which with
drew Czechoslovakia from the Paris
conference broke up five times be
fore non-Communist ministers won
their sole point — that the an
nouncement make clear the action
was taken under Soviet pressure.
The informants, who were well
informed on events of the bitter six
hour cabinet discussion, said that
was the best the non-Communist
could do. They added that Com
munist Premier Element Gottwald
had demanded from Moscow that
the cabinet action must be unani
mous.
The Informants said the opposi
tion gave up all hope of Czecho
slovak participation in the Paris
talks on the Marshall proposal when
the cabinet received a message from
Non-Partisan President Benes stat
ing simply:
‘‘Under these circumstances I can
do nothing.”
Dr. Benes was reported to have
played a large part in getting gov
ernment leaders to make their
original acceptance of the British
French Invitation to Paris. Dr.
Benes was not in Prague, having
departed two days ago for a vaca
tion in Southern Bohemia.
The wording of the official an
nouncement — that Czechoslovakia
could not take action which might
be construed as unwelcome to Rus
sia—the Czechoslovak people found
evidence their country was caught
in the Soviet orbit.
