Tufts President Leonard Carmichael, former chairman of the National Security Resources Board, will oppose President Conant's plan for Universal Military Service, it was learned yesterday. Other educators, including Presidents Charles Cole of Amherst and Detley W. Bronk of Johns Hopkins, will also come out against U.M.S.

Carmichael explained that he believed some system of deferments absolutely necessary and was therefore definitely opposed to U.M.S., which would draft everyone at 18, including all students.

He is at present head of a committee of the National Council on Education, which has already prepared its own plan for drafting and deferring college students on the basis of a national test and state quotas. This plan is new before, the N.S.R.B.

Disagree on Deferment

Both Cole and Bronk are known to disagree, with Conant on the grounds that deferments are necessary to keep trained men flowing into the Army and into civilian professions at the same time Cole is unable to make a public statement at present; he is obligated to Look magazine, for which he is writing the article explaining the anti-U.M.S. stand, Bronk, an adviser to numerous government agencies, cannot now speak on the record.

"It is always better for the armed services to have a small percentage of men coming back after college," Carmichael told the CRIMSON. He pointed out that, under U.M.S., it might be impossible for the army to persuade men to return after they had served their two years and then gone on to regular college careers.

U.M.T. on Shelf

It was also learned yesterday, from as important college official in Washington, that the Administration's Universal Military Training Bill may be shelved in favor of another draft proposal--either a U.M.S. bill or a plan involving deferments. It was felt that U.M.T., which set up a corps under civilian control, would now be adequate for the nation's man-power needs.
