'Post War Military Service
Suggested for Youth as
Roosevelt Ends War Tour
a
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
WASHINGTON, April 20 (IP)
President Hooscvelt ended 20
kI it t u war Inspection lour today
with mi Icli'ii Hint the youth of
Aini'i'k'ii, milking iim (it in
dustrial plants mid military
camps, might well give a yciir'i
service to tlii'lr government in
the post-war urn.
Ilii IiikI traveled 71152 in 1 1 on In
seventeen clnyii, checking up on
widely scultcied wiir activities
nttd dropping down Inlo Mexico
to confer with President Munuol
Avlla Ciimacho.
Mr. Hooscvelt told reporters
accompanying him thnl t lie trip
convinced him that tho armed
forces nnd the home front fee
(oriel nre In their iitrlde, but
Hint he win wondering whnt
could he done, lifter victory li
won, with camps and plnnls in
which millions Imvo been In
vented. He hud no specific plan or
program to offer but he em
phasized the benrflts In physlcul
condition nnd mentiil alertness
thnt men mid women In icrvlce
and war-workors uniform! hnd
realized In the Inst few months.
And ho indicated that he thouifht
their tralnlnit should bo extend
ed to nil young men and women
In tome form after wo win the
war.
Service Contribution
Objecting to tho term "com
pulsory military Bervlce," the
chief execullvo preferred to
peak of a year's contribution of
services to the government. Any
program that develops, he said,
probably would be only partly
military.
The president left Washington
April 13. When ho returned Into
this morning, he had swung
through most of the southeastern
states, down to Monterey, Mex
ico nearly 150 miles below the
border out to Denver and back
through tho middle of the coun
try. Ha visited eleven army posts,
four war plnnts, and one marine
base, one WAAC school and ono
naval air training center. Ho
talked with a dozen governors
and at least double that number
of plant executives.
Saw Action
Kvorywhore he went, Mr.
Roosevelt saw action. He suw
green troops in the first days of
their training, and hardened
troops just about ready for an
expedition to tho battle zones.
Ha saw the most minute
facets of military training, even
sampling three times tho food
tho neophyte soldiers wero eat
ing. He learned how the army
schools its men for tho multitude
of duties tltcy must perform, sev
eral times watching combat
problems employing real am
munition. Ho saw bomber and fighter
planes on the assembly lines and
In the air and a clattering factory
rolling out 30 caliber ammuni
tion by the carload.
Stories Released
News stories on the early part
of his trip were released midway
of his travels. He went "off
the record" again after parting
with Mexico's president at Cor
pus Chrlstl, Texas, April 21.
This was his Itinerary from
Corpus Chrlstl on;
April 22. Spent the day In
seclusion with members of his
family at the ranch of his sou,
Klllnlt, a colonel with tho army
ir forces In North Africa.
April 23. Travollcd northwest
ward across Toxas, through a
corner of Now Mexico and Into
Colorado.
April 24. Visited Camp Car
son, near Colorado Springs,
Colo., and viewed graphic dem
onstrations of a water-crossing,
of Infantry battling tanks, and
of the massed firing of 60 deaf
ening field Howitzers. Inspect
ed, at Denver, a plant where the
Remington Arms company makes
ball, tracer nnd armor piercing
ammunition; Lowry field, which
trains air force technicians, nnd
Fllr.slmmons General liospltal.
April 25. Attended Eastor Sun
day services at Fort Riley, Kns.,
whoro ho was In tho exact geo
graphical 'center of tho United
Slates for the first time.
April 26. Saw a Martin bomb
er plunt at Omaha turning out
U-2H Marauders and testing them
In flight.
April 27, Slopped at Jeffer
son barracks, Mo., tho oldest mil
itary post west of tho Mississippi
for a mass review by 19,1)00
troops who hud been In sorvico
a maximum of 20 days.
Walchod workers at a Repub
lic fighter piano fuctory at
Kvansvillc, Ind., building IM7
Thunderbolts, nnd demonstra
tions of how they fire nnd how
tlicy fly,
April 28. Saw the nrrny show
off tho tremendous offensive
power of an armored division,
with tanks, artillery, planes and
infantrymen using livo ammuni
tion. The deepest Impression which
Mr. Roosevelt brought back to
Washington was one of a vast Im
provement In the armed forces,
since ho made a similar tour last
September, accompanied by an
encouraging acceleration In the
production of the munitions they
need on the combat fronts.
Critical of Capital
As on thnt former trip, he re
turned critical of Washington.
Ho snld ho hud found thut tho
country as n wholo had a better
perspective on tho war and t
better sense of proportion than
the national capital.

special train, the president snld
the wholo temper of tho coun
try was fur more sober and far
mora Intelligent than the attitiido
of a good part of Washington.
The people generally, he sniu,
not only aro in the war but iiIno
understand It. They do not fol
low Washington's example, he
snld, and, as he put it, magnify
something of a tenth degree of
importance and put it on front
pages.
Balance Events
Furthermore, he declared, the
tendency In the rest of the coun
try, which he said is In contrast
with the capital, is to evaluate
correctly and give the right rel
ative Importance to world ovents
and the progress of actual, fight
ing. Mr. Roosevelt made no formal
speeches on the second half of
his Journey. Several times, he
spoke informally, and ha told
reporters he thought he was
about right when ho asserted at
Fort Riley that the army had
been going through Its growing
pains In thn last few months,
hut now has grown up.
Tha Improvement could be
seen not only in tho troop
themselves, he said, but also In
tho housekeeping of tha urmy
in the things It wears and eats.
Engenders Confidence
Asked whether ho had, as n
result of his inspections, "any
greater confidence In tho new
moves to come in Europe," the
chief executive replied In tho
affirmutivc.
lie said, too, he thought the
country was catching on to the
advantages of the training which
men and women are getting In
tho service, as well as In war In
dustries. Ho commented on a marked
gain In their health nnd physical
well-being and on tho way a por
tion of thorn who missed much
of their formal schooling aro now
learning reading, writing and
arithmetic as well as skilled
trades.
When you sec all the, tremend
ous camps, with a capacity of
maybo 3,000,000 or 4,000,000
men, the president asserted, you
can't help wondering what will
happen to them when the war is
won and whether some type of
training should continue, partly
to avoid a net loss on equipment
on which millions have been
spent.
