POST-WAR MILITARY CONSCRIPTION:
Prevention of Rearmament Requires'
Large Army of Occupation--Hopkins
A T T A C K B O M B E R.-- The Army Air Forces new attack bomber, the A-26 Invader, flies over
undisclosed territory. This ship is made in several models for different theaters.
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Only a "per-
petual army of occupation" would be
able to prevent Germany and Japan
from rearming eventually, says Har-
ry L. Hopkins in the March "Ameri-
can Magazine," in urging compulsory
military training after the war.
Hopkins has "no doubt that pow-
erful forces in Germany and Japan
are preparing even now for their
next attempt to conquer us." ]
"We don't know what new wea-
pons will be developed . . . before]
such an attack, attempts will be
made to cause us to become carelessI
and complacent .
"Our country is the one thatj
marauders most want to conquer.1

Cities Require
Higher Taxes
LANSING, Feb. 1---W)-D. Hale
Brake, State Treasurer, said today
analysis of testimony to date in a
series of hearings on financial needs
of Michigan cities indicated that at
least the larger cities "cannot fh-I
ance government adequately while1
they are under the 15-mill tax lilni-I
tation."
"The evidence indicates that in a
large 15-mill city the people either
must do without services they have a
right to expect, or they must have
some other source o~ income," he
told newsmen.
Brake said he hoped the legislature
would provide some new source of
income for these cities, contending
that they otherwise were likely to
have the constitution amended to
provide some inflexible plan of re-
lief.
He said testimony from spokesmen
for Saginaw, Flint and Muskegon
disclosed "practically every branch"
of their city government needs more
What a nation to loot! The final
conquest of North America would
make a dozen defeats worthwhile
to the pillagers, and if we ever
again are so weak that they have
a chance to defeat us, World War
III will loom on the horizon. Still-
"If this nation works as earnetly
for peace as it is working to win the
war, I believe we can have peace."
Hopkins writes, "but I believe, at the
same time, that to do this we must
have a powerful military force that
will discourage the predatory ambi-
tions of our potential enemies."
Hopkins urges Congress to pro-
vide for one year of compulsory
military training in peacetime for
every 18-year-old boy. iHe suggests
that thorough consideration be
given to the measure and that it
be "exactly the right kind" of bill.
"Once the plan fails," he warns,
"It can never be revived again, until
the bombs begin falling upon our
cities. And that will be too late."
Hopkins points out that approxi-
mately 100,000 boys reach the age of
18 each month, 1,200,000 subject to
training each year. He believes that
Dr. Enoelke
Praises Public
Health _Nulrses
"No one can compete with the
skills of the public health nurse in
caring for the sick, and in educat-
ing families in good health habits,"
declared Dr. Otto K. Engelke, Di-
rector, Washtenaw County Health
Department, in his speech yesterday
in the School of Health Auditorium.
The topic of Dr. Engelke's speech,
presented at a celebration of Public
Health Nursing Day, was "The Pub-
lic Health Nurse-What She Is and
What She Does." Speaking on the
same topic was Miss Helene Buker,
Director, Bureau of Public Health
Nursing, Michigan Department of
Health.
Dr. Engelke emphasized the value
of the public health nurse's work in
teaching mothers to feed, bathe, and
perform other such necessities in
the care of a sick individual. "The
skill with which she uses her hands
may mean the difference between life
andl death," he concluded.
Miss Buker stressed the urgent
need for public health nurses. "At
present we have only 821 in the
state, which is one nurse to every
6,550 members of the population,"
she said.
"At least 250 more are needed now
to meet minimum standards, but if
bedside care as well as education is
to be included, there must be at
least one nurse for every 2,500 people,
or 1,300 more than at present," Miss
Buker concluded.j
Labor Situation
I City Surveyed
A nation-wide survey recently con-
ducted by the National Association of
Manufacturers reveals that "there is
no critical manpower situation in the
Ann Arbor Area."
Lawrence Hamberg, local U. S. Em-
ployment Service director reaffirmed
this statement yesterday, but said
4F's should be included in the plan,
explaining that there are thousands
of jobs in the armed forces that can
be handled by men whose physical
ratings are below par.
Hopkins says a year's military
training will add, rather than take
away, a year cf a boy's education,
and that it will raise the general
health of young men.
"The moment the bill passes," con-
cludes Hopkins, "it will be America's
notice to the world that no aggressor
nation or group of such nations can
ever aspire to conquer us-to all the
people of the United Nations, banded
together to secure the peace, it will
be a bright, inspiring signal of hope."
State Bitll Will
Provide Slow
Time March 17
LANSING, Feb. 1.-O)--TJ he House
State Affairs Committee today re-
leased an already Senate-approved
bill declaring central war (slow) time
the only legal time standard in
Michigan, effective at midnight
March 17.
The committee acted after hearing
testimony by Paul B. Valle, deputy
director of the power division of the
War Production Board, that his ag-
ency was "frankly worried" because
it feared the setting back of Michi-
gan clocks would lead other states to
do similarly, and that this would
have an unfavorable effect upon the
war effort.
He said if all states abandoned
"fast" time schedules ordered fed-
erally as a war measure, electric
power plants would have to expand
their generating facilities and use
enough copper to turn out 2,530,000,-
000 rounds of .30 calibre ammuni-
tion, or enough to provide all the
copper parts for 140 destroyers.
Rep. Maurice E. Post, Rockford
Republican chairman of the state
affairs committee, and Rep. Joseph
F. Nagel, Detroit Democrat, said set-
ting of the March 17 effective date
was "to give the Irish an extra hour
to celebrate St. Patrick's Day." Nagel
was reported to have cast the only
vote in the committee against re-
leasing the bill.
The measure is scheduled for de-
bate in the House Monday night,
and a final vote possibly Tuesday.

man, was recently appointed to suc-
ceed the late Carl Engel as director
of publications for G. Schirmer, a
position which he will assume when
the term at Sarah Lawrence College
(where he is music director) closes
this spring.
A former pupil of Roy Harris,
Schuman derives his source of style
from this famous musician as well
as from jazz for which he showed an
early interest in Tin Pan Alley. Not
until he was 19, however, did the
young musician become interested in
symphonic music, leaving Broadway
in 1935 to study conducting in Salz-
burg.
Large Number of Works
His works include orchestral, chor-
al, chamber, piano, stage and band
music numbers.
