S. Treasury Departme^ Army’s Caste System Hinders Success of Volunteer Program From the Anderson Independent Pressure continues for extension of the draft law beyond May 15 and enactment of some kind of univer sal military service law. The White House and the Army leadership cites as reasons for such moves by Congress: 1. Volunteering, while doing well in the Navy and Army Air Forces, is not furnishing enough replacements for the Army Ground and Service forces. 2. The world situation isn’t im proving. Russia is already empha sizing military preparedness at a time when the United States is cut ting down its armed strength. It is interesting to analyze the causes behind the two effects by the president and the Army. About No. 1: Hundreds of thousands of young Americans would volunteer for Army service if the Army operated along modem lines and treated en listed men less like dirty dogs and more like human beings. A retired brigadier genera,1 and a West Pointer, H. C. Holdridge re cently told the House Military Af fairs Committee that the Army is “undemocratic, a feudalistic organi zation carried over into the Atomic Age. It is always one or two wars behind in its thinking”. I His indictment is backed up by j assertion of Dr. Arthur E. Morgan I in ‘The American Mercury’: “The authoritarian and dictatorial temper of West Point rules the Army. It is not just a regime of training mili tary men, but a cult, with a deep- rooted tradition. Few religious or other cults anywhere put their no vices through such intense training. Few Americans realize what medie val, coercive indoctrination of yoyng minds goes on at the Academy.” As for No. 2, concerning the Rus sians: The military mind is making it self felt in Russian foreign policy, writes W. M. Fodor in the Chicago Sun, and the same is true in the United States, where policy is also being affected by the brass-hats. Writes Fodor: “The emergency of a powerful military clique came to pass after the close of World War II. Army leaders generally think in terms of ‘aggressive security’ and these Rus sian brass-hats were no exception. “Just as our admirals continue to think in terms of bases in the Paci fic for ‘defensive purposes’ so the Russian marshals are seeking secur ity by pushing the Soviet sphere of influence westward. It now appears that The more belligerent and im perialistic marshals already have been withdrawn from those occu pied areas where they could infect the rank and file with dangerous ideas. Their influence, however, cannot be underrated.” And neither can the influence of the brass-hats in America be dis counted. The White House is sold on them already, and therefore the continued pressure for extension of the draft and a European-type sys tem of universal military training. In the light of the foregoing ex amples, however, it is easy to see what is happening: tension is kept high in Russia and the U. S. by tne brass-hats in order to provide argu ments for huge armed forces. Sentiment, war-like, is fostered in order to bring public pressure upon Congress to keep drafting more men for the brass-hats to boss and _ to provide, naturally, continued jobs for brass-hats. The Independent believes the na tion should maintain a volunteer armed force capable of meeting our reasonable commitments abroad. It believes this force should be recruit ed through drastic revisions of the Army caste system in order to pro vide more incentive to join. Meanwhile, military training should be provided in all high schools and, where feasible, in col leges with emphasis upon the type of warfare the nation would face in the Aviation-Atomic Age where brains will count rather tjian masses of men. GIVE! Warm clothing is essential to health in winter. You can contribute substantially to the health of your fellow men and add greatly to the comfort of some unfortunate European by giving $3.80 to the Red Cross fund. This sum provides enough material for volunteer* workers to make into a dress for distri bution by Red Cross civilian re lief workers overseas. ROUNDELAY Sleeves are bursting out all over! Balloon sleeves that puff out from the shoulders and gather to the arms are an expres sion of the fuller, gayer silhouette for spring and summer. - This feminine softness may be achieved by a grosgrain ribbon draw string that puffs the sleeve to the arm. And then is repeated in a softly gathered neckline. Looking forward to the new season, you’ll find front peplums that are crisp and perky providing new skirt interest.
