Requested
By Truman
A 40 and one-half billion dol

event of another war, the money
requested would enable the arm
ed forces to stop the enemy and
strike at the centers of his power.

There is a way to dodge the

Yes, that's right. YOU can for
get your draft board and enjoy
yourself at the same time.
How?
Simple. Go abroad this sum
mer. Local draft boards were re

mits to leave the United States
to young men who wish to travel
abroad this summer, according to
word received by the Council on
Student Travel from the Selective
