UMDIT opposition grows to universal training plan
Senators Elbert D. Thomas of Utah and Edwin C. Johnson of Colorado oppose compulsory military training as Congress prepares. President Truman’s commission on Universal Training met behind closed doors in Washington as debate intensifies. Thomas argues the plan ignores lessons of mechanized warfare and valorizes a broad training program over targeted education. Johnson calls goose stopping and alarms poppycock, urging equal education opportunities and voluntary service over universal mandates.
