framework for far-reaching Indus

military committees preparedness
program today. 1t was suggested by
representative Kahn, of California,
as an amendment to the provision in
the pending army increase bill for a
quartermastcrs corps reserve ana
was adopted without objection.
The plan contemplates not only an
effort to enlist in the reserve in peace
times teamsters, mechanics railroad
men, chauffeurs and other non-coin-
batant forces necessary to an army,
but extends the scope of the reserve
system to include civilian aviators, ord

neers, electrical engineers and mem

General Authorization.
It Is understood general authori2-
alton will be included In the bill, the
war department being left to work
out the details in actual practice. Re-
servists of this character would be
regularly enlisted as reserves for the
fighting arms, and would be liable for
assignment to duty by the war de-
partment in time of war.
The committee worked all day on
its bill but did not reach final vote.
1t is expected the measure VIII be
completed tomorrow, but new ef-
fort TO increase the proposed strength
of the regular army will precede the
vote. The bill already has been al
tered slightly in this regard and now
specifically provides minimum
strength Of 100000 men in peace
times instead of the former provision
authorizing a peace strength of lS6,-
900 with an allowance for recruitment
designed to fix the maximum at l43,-
600.
100000 Army Strength.
Another change, it is understood,
will be proposed tomorrow under
which the maximum peace strength
would be 100000 men, or Just double
the present authorized army. I'm
der this plan it is contemplated to
vest the president with authority to
bring the army up to full authorized
strength at any time without specific
act Of congress- While annual ap-
preparation bills would limit the ac-
tual strength in ordinary times to
10000, the authorization would per-
nit the president. in the event of IN

army to the full 100000 without at
