The simplest, easiest way to meet the requirements of this law is to have ade-
quate and acceptable Automobile Liability Insurance at the time of an accident.
This will permit you to keep your driving privileges without having to deposit cash

If Congress refuses to accept the commission’s recommendations as
submitted by its armed services committees, then UMT will be in-
definitely postponed. It would not be necessarily dead, for the com-
mission could submit a new plan or plans for action by Congress.
However, adverse action by Congress would deal the UMT program
a body blow.

training. However, the system has in the past been
regarded with revulsion by many Americans. To
thousands it brings memories of bitter days when
they fled their native lands to escape in free Amer-
ica what they regarded as military bondage.
Today the United States is considering following
in the footsteps of European nations. Proponents
say that changing times require this drastic revi-
sion in traditional American policy.
While much water has rolled over the dam in
the passing years, opposition to the proposal is
still very strong.
It is against this background then that Congress
must vote "Yes" or f'No” when it reconvenes in
January. It can no longer postpone a decision.

• IF THE COMMISSION’S RECOMMENDATIONS are adopted,
youths will be inducted for UMT beginning next summer through the
regular selective service boards, in monthly quotas.
They will serve six "continuous" months in a National Security
Training Corps and then go into the reserves for another 7% years.
(However, tnere is strong sentiment in Congress for two annual three-
month periods of training for college students.)
About half the inductees would be trained by the Army, 28 per cent
by the Navy, and 22 per cent by the Air Force. Each service would
conduct its own training, subject to general supervision by the com-
mission.
Inductions would begin at age 18. At present, youths aged 18%

• CONGRESS COULDN'T MAKE UP ITS MIND definitely this year
and postponed a final decision until next year. In doing so, it jumped
from the frying pan into the fire, because next year is an election year
and a mighty important one at that.
Last June Congress compromised by voting in principle for a sys-
tem of peacetime compulsory universal military training, referred
to generally as UMT. However, in doing so it set the wheels rolling
toward a final decision. It created a White House commission to
draw up a program and report back to Congress.
The commission has now issued its report. The next step is up to
Congress. The law provides that both the House and Senate armed
services committees must act upon its recommendations within 45
days after Congress convenes.
House and Senate votes are then assured, for the law also provides
that any member of Congress can call up the enabling legislation for
floor consideration.
The Defense department is prepared to launch the program next
summer with the initial induction of 60,000 men aged 18. Later the
program would be broadened to cover the maximum 800,000 men
envisaged in the plan.

A AI To Play Game
Postponed By Polio
er ths ASSOCIATED PRESS
Only one more game remains
in the Texas conference football
race—and it’s quite important to
Texas A & I, which could tie for
the championship by winning it.
Abilene Christian and Howard
Payme already have finished the
season in a deadlock for the title.
A & I meets Austin College at
Kingsville Saturday to fire the
last shot in the campaign. This
game, originally scheduled for
Nov. 17, was postpon d becaus
of an epidemic on the A & I cam-
pus.
A & I, favored to beat Austin,
winless in three conference con-
tests to date, may have more
trouble than expected. The Kanga-
roos may be able to scare the
