Willner, of SDA, Called to Testify At White House

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

President Truman's Advisory Commission on Universal Training has called upon Don S. Willner '47, head of the newly-organized Students for Democratic Action, to testify at a hearing tomorrow afternoon in the White House. In a statement made last night, Willner said that he would present the SDA stand against "universal training," which he brands "a sugar-coated phrase for compulsory military service."

The Army's plan for military training, now under consideration by the presidential commission, is opposed by the SDA, which would put all armed service upon a purely voluntary basis. Willner plans to stress this viewpoint, as well as attack Truman's contention that training is "good for the boys."
