PRICE: FIVE CENTS A COPY Gen. E.
Gives Address at
Elks Flag
Warnes of Russia and
Calls for Universal
Military Training
Gen. Emil M. Podeyn, delivering
the principal address at the an-nual
Flag Day exercises of the
Freeport Lodge of Elks in the
lodge room Thursday night said
the United .States seemed to be
at war with Russia, and that it
must win or lose the American
way of life. He added that con-ditions
today paralleled those of
1937 with the Army and Navy
stripped of their effectiveness and
insisted that the United States
must maintain a large military
establishment or universal military
training.
Gen. Podeyn said the President's
Commission on Universal- Military
Training found the great question
it had to answer was "How im-portant
is universal training to
the security of the United States
and the peace of the World," and
came to the conclusion that, it
was not only important but
"essential."
The general went into details
in discussing the American Bill of
Rights, and concluded by consider-ing
the President's Commission on
Atomic Energy ftnd Its work. He
said- the commission -^u^Vestlnijited
rthe^-crniitfetrxStates'' monopoly^' <m
atomic expdosives would be broken
by about 1951. and that after 1955
an a tonic attack in force could
be made against this country.
"The signal for the start of a
war against us will be a large-scale,
long distance onslaught with
atomic explosives against our
principal centers of population and
production" he said the report
continued. "The first day's attack
might lay waste to 12 of our
major cities," Gen. Podeyn said,
citing a high ranking Army of-ficer.
"We would have chaos, with
communications disrupted, mil-lions
of persons sick, wounded and
dying, and civil disorder and
sabotage prevailing." He predicted
such a war would be short and
America would have to bt ready
to react in the first 60 days rather
than the 12th, 18th. or 24th month
as in past wars.
To prevent such a catastrophe,
Gen. Podeyn recommended that
the United States provide an air-borne
striking force of profession-al
highly trained troops armed
with the most advanced weapons,
and "equal in importance" a
system of universal military train-ing
so that all American youths
on reaching 18, or completing high
school would receive, six months I
of basic training and an additional'
six months^' in college or special
units of advanced training. j
Exalter Ruler 'Gordon H. Meyer i
presided, and Karl A. Reich pro-1
vided the music. A feature was
the massing of the colors of
numerous ppsts_ of the American
Legion 'and Veterans of Foreign
Wars and their auxiliaries. Wil-liam
Clinton Stey Post buglers
sounded "To the Colors." Mayor
Cyril C. Ryan delivered a brief
address of welcome, Karl Anton,
as acting chaplain, offered prayer
and the picturesque "History of
