Draft End Seen Possible In 1952 Washington, March 26—Chairman Carl Vinson, (D., Ga.) of the House Armed Services committee, said to day the Army should be able to halt the draft within 18 months and set up its Universal Miltary Training program. Barring a new international em ergency, he said this eventually should make it possible to reduce the size of the standing military force at a saving of $60 a month for every man taken off active duty. This is the difference in cost be tween keeping a man on active ser vice and in an active reserve unit. Simultaneously, White House sources said only $7,000,000,000 in additional funds may be needed to assure speedy placement of defense 000,000 originally planned. The new request is expected to go to Con gress next month. It will be in addition to the billions already re quested for defense. Vinson was confident that Con gress will approve some kind of a contracts instead of the $10,000,- < UMT program. The senate already has passed a bill to extend the draft law and set up UMT later. A similar bill comes up in the House next week—but under heavy fire. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE "The Paper Everybody Reads’* \ WE THANK YOU!
