TWO MONROE (LA.) MORNING WORLD 19, 1954 3 Million-Man Reserve Force Asked For U. S. QUANT1CO, June 18 (AP) The Defense Department's manpower chief presented today a plan to draft men into the reserves to create a three-million-man pool of trained fighters ready to in case of war. John Hannah, assistant secretary of defense for manpower, explained the plan to the nation's civilian and military defense leaders holding their annual meeting here on current and long-range strategy. The proposal jeemed to be closely akin to universal military training.

toward which Congress has been cool. Hannah said the proposal has been handed to the White and is under consideration by the National Security Council. But there is doubt that the present session of Congress will receive actual legislation on the controversial subject in time for any consideration before adjournment this summer. Hannah noted that the current draft law is intended to revitalize the reserve program by requiring i that each enlMee or inductee have periods of obligated reserve training after completion of active duty provision which lacks penalties for failure to comply. trouble is, the plan Hannah said.

Of hundreds of thousands of veterans on the reserve list, only a few continue to train, he added. The new proposal, as outlined by Hannah: 1. Men would be drafted to meet requirements of the reserve units of the Army. Navy, Marines and Air Fo ce. 2.

Induction of men into this compulsory reserve well be done by lot by the local drait boards," selection being made at the time a men becomes liable for military service, at 18Ma years. 3. There would be two categories of reservists: A. A line made up of Individuals and units undergoing training and immediately available for duty In an emergency; B. the callable a pool of men with prior military experience whose special skills as technicians would be needed in sudden mobilization.

4 In general, reserve draftees would four months active duty training, then be obligated for reserve training for seven years and eight months-a total of eight years service Legislation also will be sought, said Hannah, to enforce the requirement that men take part In training with units to which they are assigned. The plan the continuation of selective service -the draft for an indefinite period," Hannah said. The White House called last December for a comprehensive reserve plan. Hannah said today that President Eisenhower, Director Arthur S. Flemming of the Office of War Monilization, Defense Secretary Charles E.

Wilson and others helped impart a sense of urgency to this matter of getting our reserve program into tune with the times and our reserve forces into much higher state of readiness to meet whatever challenge the future may hold for the military services."

The measure Is almost exactly in the form asked by President Eisenhower and carries practically all of the major previsions of the House bill. It is one of the must items on the administration's 1954 legislative program. No votes were recorded against the bill but Democratic committee members reserved the right to offer amendments on the floor to cut individual income taxes. The bill does not contain any general reductions in such levies. Nearly all of the changes made by the Senate committee in the House bill in six weeks of secret voting were confirmed by the group in its final action today.

These added up to 107 million dollars moie of tax reductions in the first year of operation of the bill than the $1,370,000,000 approved by the House. However, the $1,477,000,000 of reductions would be offset in the Initial year by $1,200,000,000 in additional revenue obtained from a one-year extension of the 52 per cent corporation income tax rate. Without the extension, the rate would drop to 17 per rent. Chairman Millikin (R-Colo) of the Finance Committee said the bill might come up on the floor late next week. The administration Is pushing for quick action on the measure.

Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey says that many business firms are holding up expansion or modernization plans, awaiting final action on the tax revision, Mrs. Olga Altenberg Dies, Funeral Today Mrs. Olga Altenberg, 72, died early Friday morning in Monroe where she has made her home for the past two years.
