This,Yeigil - ...
WASHINGTON,' March 4-41)).
House voted 236 to 162
tonight to send the administra
tion -backed Universal a r
Training bill back to committee
just about wiping out. any chance
that the hotly controversial meas
ure can be passed this pyear.
Chairinan. Vinson (p-Ga) of the
Armed Services Committee told re
porters after the administration
defeat:
"I'm not going to call up any
more UNIT legislation at this ses
sion."

The bill would have made• able
bodied youths liable to six months
of military training' as - soon 'as'
they reached the age of 18. In
addition, it would have kept them
in the re,serves, and subject to
recall, for seven and one-half
years after their training was
finished.
President Truman and most
military leaders, including Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, endorsed
the bill. A number of church,
farm, educational and " other or
ganizations waged a strong cam,
paign against it.
Probably Killed
Today's final vote came after
six bows of often stormy debate
and complex parliamentary man
euvering.
While the House Armed Serv
ices committee still can bring the
measure to the floor for another
vote at this session, administra
tion leaders conceded in advance
that a vote to recommit would
probably kill the kill for the
remainder of this year and per,
haps for several years to come.
Today's vote likewise was ex
pected to sidetrack Senate con
sideration of similar ulyiT legis
lation.
sVoting to send the House bill
back to committee Were 155 Re
publicans an d 81 Democrats.
Against the motion wer e 131
Democrats, 30 Republicans and
one independent. '
