THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1945 THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA PAGE SEVEN Cadet Course for Boys Will Teach Modern Military Battle Tactics NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Cal. (U.R) Backlot ''war' games have been placed on a nation-wide ed ucational training scale by the national military cadet:;. Cmdr. Martin J. Farmer has completed s. training course in Tnlllt-flrV tzoifznnci flieirl;viQ n n t citizenship which will be offered! to all boys 12 to 18 years old. Farmer believes the cadets serve a two-fold purpose to youth since "Any organization wmch will offer to youths a training in the military sciences, its discip line and its obligation for good citizenship will be of inestimable value to its members when called upon to assume the adult re.-pon-ibilities of American citizenship.'' Keeping the boys off the streets and out of trouble while giving them the best possible training and discipline are the primary ob- jectives of the national military i cadets, farmer sain. Bas'c military training is bated upon U. S. Army test book material. Lessons have ibeen prepared in such a man ner that they can be mailed to "individual' members in rural districts or communities too small for regular cadet compan panies. Examinations in each subject are also mailed to cadets ami grades form the basis for promo tions and service bar awards. Special insignia and equipment REAL ESTATE FOR SALE J "r .

Efficiency of this jungle - style training is attested to be a grow ing pile of letters in Farmer's possession. "Thanks to the .cadet training I came through Iwo with out a scratch." reads one.

Army Manpower Policies Under Congress Fire WASHINGTON, (U.R) Influen tial members of both houses of congress bitterly assailed army manpower policies Thursday, and threatened to take their com plaints to President Truman or to act themselves if all else fails. Attacks centered .arouna char ges that the army was hoarding manpower and had become "arro gant" in its refusal to speed the release of men needed for critical home-front industries. Chairman Andrew J. May of the house military affairs com mittee added his voice Thurs day to the growing storm of Protest. May told renorters he was "sick and tired'' of army main-' tenance of unnecessarily large forces in this country and said any hardships on the home front this winter would be ''squarely' on the shoulders of high officials of the war department." He charged tnat the army spec ifically had failed to facilitate the release of men for critical agriculture, coal mining and rail road needs, and that he would seek to "do something about it:' when congress reconvenes Oct. 8. 1 Several senators, meanwhile, supported charges by Sen. Ed win C. Johnson, D., Colo., that the army -had become "arrogant" in its refusal to consider the "cri tical necessities of the country. Sen. Kenneth Wherry, K. Neb.f charged that the army was "playing liell with man power.' ' Johnson was joined by Wherry and Sen. Burton K.
