tina the Senate Committee would fix
the strength OF The forces at about
100000. The House committee already
has agreed tentatively on approxima-
tely similar program.
There is no question" said Senator
Wadsworth, but that the Senate com
mttee in its present frame of mind
will not fix the number at mere than
ESQ 600, ana may possibly cut the
number more than that"
Senate subcommittee hearings on
the bill were concluded yesterday.
while the House compttee took up
questions as to the future OF the Ma
ticnal Guard. The Senate committee
hoped to have proposals in shape for
the full committee after the holidays.
