Compulsory Training Debate Goes to House
Washington—(U.P.)—Critics of the President's Compulsory Militraining Reserve Training program hoped to soften it with amendments in the House today. But supporters were confident it would pass intact.
Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) of the House Armed Services committee said "The critics . . . have presented indictment but have offered no remedy" for the program. He said the House would pass it.
But a barrage of amendments had to be dealt with before a final vote. Chairman Graham H. Barden (D-N.C.) of the House Education committee called for one to let high school and college students take their military training during summer vacations.
The measure would require every man entering military service to spend a combined total of at least five years on active duty and in the ready reserve. It also would permit between 100,000 and 250,000 pre-draft-age youth to volunteer for as little as six months active duty provided they follow it with $7 \frac{1}{2}$ years in the ready reserve.

State Completes Murder Case
Kansas City, Kan.—(U.P.) The state completed its murder case against Henry W. Wagenknecht late yesterday after two daughters of the accused man testified against him.
