Stimson. The decision is contingent upon approval by Congress, which would have to authorize the unprecedented peacetime step. The authority will be asked when Congress reconvenes after the Democratic national con- vention. Stephen Early, presidential secre- tary, announced the decision and said that four divisions, seven anti- aircraft regiments, and an undeter- mined number of harbor defense regiments would be called. Location Of Divisions One division, he said, will come from New York and New Jersey, a second from Tennessee and the Carolinas, a third from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and Colorado, and the fourth from Oregon, Wash- ington, Montana and Idaho. Once their training is completed, he said, consideration will be given to the question of extensing the training to other guard units. The training will be designed to familiarize the guardsmen with mod- ern weapons and military practices and is expected also to fit them for training the thousands of conscripts who will be called to service if Con- gress enacts a compulsory military training law. Conscription Endorsed Both - the Army and Navy high commands have endorsed conscrip- tion. Testifying before the ;Senate Military Committee, Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, said today that it was essential to the national defense. The divisions mentioned by Early are the 44th, 30th, 45th, and 41st. A War Department spokesman said, however,' that' their selection for training was entirely tentative. If Congress approves the plan, he said, the question of which units to call will be reexamined in the light of facilities available at that time.
