Show THE CITIZEN 27. 1972 THURSDAY, JULY Hubbard's Military Career Upgraded Packing By PAULIIAItVEY Co. Both political parties are now committed to end the military draft next year. During this year the professional military career is being upgraded. Right now it's a not-ba- d deal. By this time next year there will be no military draft. That's politics. The public reaction to the Vietnam snafu was such that therell be an resolution in the platform of both parlies. The backlash from this Indochina involvement left the soldier on the absolute bottom of the social totem pole.

With reduced draft calls, enlistment sagged. First the Army was unable to meet manpower Quotas, then the Navy and the Marines began to fall short. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird warned Congress early this year that enlistments must increase this year if the draft is to end next year. So Congress and the services began adding inducements. The problem is not new. George Washington said, There must be some other stimulas, besides love of country, to make men fond of military service." Right now you can sign up for four years with the Marines or the Army and get an immediate If enlistments continue to sag, Congress has authorized douit bling the bonus also-mak- ing $3,000.

With big wars too devastating and small wars too debilitating there will be no purpose in maintaining large standing armies.

As aviation matured through the era of goggled and leather-jackclc- d barnstormers to this present generation of highly skilled, highly paid supermen, so the soldier or sailor or guardsman or reserve of tomorrow will be somebody special. ) FRANKLIN Spending 10 days with Mrs. Erma Woodward were her son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth ward of Sacramento, Calif.

President Nixon is accused by critics of spending too much time away from Washington, D. C. Almost any place else is a belter place for him to be. With politics now in high hear as in the every election year outs" are adding up the AWOL record of the incumbent President. By trumpeting the fact that he has spent much time away from the White House, they hope you will infer that the President has been goofing off. What you are about to hear is not a partisan summation for the defense, it is instead an explanation of political realities. Paul Harvey wears no party label. Of course I am aware of some of the rumors of four years ago, one to the effect that George Wallace and Paul Harvey were seeking to overthrow the U. S. government. But I could not more comfortably be identified with some of those fellows who call themselves Republicans than with some of those fellows who call themselves Democrats. I do have an respect for the office of the Presidency. To me an invitation to the White House except for some purely social event is virtually a command are Hobbs.
