Labor Spokesmen Oppose
Early Starting Of UMT
W A SUING TONTop laboi
: spokesmen today opposed propos
als for an early start of universal
military (raining (UMT).
James B. Carey, secretary-treas
urer of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations 'CIO), said it would
be "unreasonable" to !)egin UMT
before the armed forces were re
duced. »
A representative of the Ameri
can Federation ot Labor <AFL>.
George D. Riley, said his organiza
tion was against proposed legisla
tion and would oppose any UMT
program without a time limit. He is
a member of the AFL's national
legislative committee.
They prepared statements for t he
House Armed Services Committee
i which is holding open hearings on
a blueprint for UMT. One proposal
J is to begin the program this year
by taking 60.000 volunteers for six
mqnths' training and 18 months'
active duty.
Military. leaders testified la.-,!
vveek that UMT could not begin
fully until the military services are
reduced. They said UMT would
help permit reduction by creating
a reserve and proposed I he volun
teer plan to get a UMT program
underway.
Carey added in his statement:
"Before any serious considera
tion can be given to relying inon
universal military training for vhe
nation's future military protection,
the armed forces should be '.'(im
pelled to produce evidence of n
reserve training program genuine
ly dovetailed into such a universal
militarv training system a train
ing program which will produce
really rounded soldiers, sailors. Air
Force personnel and Marines."

"We in the Federal government
must first clean our own house.
Some worthwhile things have been
