If we follow the past procedure Americans will become too complacent." HE POINTED OUT THE VALUE of Army draining, particularly in respect to the physical conditioning program provided bv the Army. In opposing compulsory military training during peacetime, the Rev.

Mr. McGowan maintained that peacetime conscription was a radical departure from the traditions and customs of the nation, and should therefore be subjected to a thorough and deliberate debate. In time of war. he said, an abnormal state of thinking exists in the public mind, with ihe tendency to estimate issues on the basis of emotion rather than reasoned calculation. The legislation for conscription should be postponed at least until after the war when we can get a glimpse of the outlines of the postwar world Help Needed To Repair Jap-Damaged Ships Jap-damaged American ships are idle in Pacific Coast Navy Yards because of critical shortages of shipyard repair workers needed to put them hack into action, Alex Apperson.

Feidelson. Speaking in favor of conscription were two local Army officers. Lt.

Col. Howell, Replacement and School Command, and Capt. Homer C. Smith, public relations officer at the Army Air Base here. Appearing on the negative side of the debate were Dr.

Henry T. Shanks, dean at Birmingham-Southern College. and the Rev. Guy B. McGowan.

Woodlawn Methodist Church. Advocating a strong physical training program in schools to take the place of military training. Dr. Shanks said he believed that peacetime conscription would endanger democratic institutions, retard social and economic progress, and make youth slothful and immoral "Peacetime conscription is justified only if it is necessary to preserve our security, he said "Modern warfare rails for well-trained and equipped armies which are ready to move on notice.

The state charges Brown, who was home on sick leave and in civilian clothes at the time of the shooting, fired a shotgun charge into Wilkey as the latter entered his Wilkey 'st place of business. Evidence was offered that just before the fatal shot was fired. Wilkey had fired two rifle shots into Brown's automobile, one penetrating the window and the other cutting a hole in the door. Brown is being defended by Atty. George Rogers, while the state's rase is being presented by former Deputy Solicitor Rurgin Hawkins, assisted by Ed Hamill, deputy solicitor.
