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.

from the human suffering involved.

crafts class will meet Thursday.
Y ou have to hand it to Buick engineers.
What they’ve done to this 1951 Special
is nothing short of a minor miracle.
They’ve stepped up its sty le with a brand-
new body, an eager new thrust-ahead look,
a gleaming new push-bar forefront that’s as
ruggedly protective as it is stunning to see.
They've stepped up the smartness of its in
teriors with the smartest fabrics that ever
graced the interior of this Buick Series.
They’ve stepped up the safety, by the sharp
new clarity jof white-glow instrument mark
ings more easily read at night.
They’ve stepped up the power to the highest
ratings in Special history—120 horsepower
with Synchro-Mesh transmission, 128 with
Dynaflow Drive.
They’ve come up with a car that’s new in
everything from the ground up—and a price
that’s the best news of all.
So, if you’ve been toying with thoughts of
buying a lesser car—better come in and see
how easy it is to step up to this thrifty marvel.
