Abe Martin and the Troop Talk at Congress
Abe Martin notes social figures and a governor call for troops as Congress debates training measures. Proposals would exempt some youths and veterans, while granting school credit for military work and allowing interruption of regular army units to bolster training camps.
System of Penalties Would Be Provided
A proposed plan would impose penalties on employers of men over 18 who have not completed training. People who avoid service by leaving the country would lose federal positions and be required to fulfill obligations. The bill envisions many training camps with no pay during training but government-funded expenses. Supporters say it would ease civic time demands and offer physical and disciplinary benefits.
