WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-In RESPONSE
to request from House leaders to
speed up legislation, the House Mill
tary Committee to-day began consider
alton OF an army reorganization bill,
with the hope that it can be presented
to the House early next year.
Representative Anthony, of Kansas,
acting chairman of the committee, sa d
the committee would not attempt to
put in the bill any provision for uni
versal military training. If this pan
is carried out, it is probable the com
mittee will have something of fght
man, returns from California. Mr..
Kahn is strongly in favor of universal
training and, Though many members
Of the House are opposed to such train
'ng, he has stron. influence with the
committee and his weight will count
when it cores to decision.
Mr.. Anthony said the committee now
is working with the idea of providing
force of about 100000 men and off,
GERS, of which about 100000 would be
combat troops and the other $4,000 in
tie supply and staff corps.
Eve had two proposals to ,wori on"
for small army with universal mill.
tary training and the other for a
larger military force without universal
training The committee decided to
confne itself strictly to army ques-
tons. The merits Of universal rain
ing were not considered, and the action
of the committee may be considered as
postponement. The reorganization
bill is Immediate"
In reaching its decision to amend the
National De ense Act MIR. ANTHONY said
the committee had discarded the bill
submitted by the War Department for
an army of $4,000 men and the other
measure prepared by the General Staff
with slightly small er force.
The committed" said Mr. Anthony,
"is familiar with the national defense
act. and feels that it can approach the
problem presented better by revis ne
it. The bill reported will represent the
views of members gathered fror, tho
extensive hearings held this summer
and fall but will be in the form of
amendments to the defense act and not
as new legislation"

ably will decide to consolidate the bu
