DEADLOCK OVER NATIONAL GUARD Wrangle In House Later De. lays Action on Plan
 Until Today
By Associated Pr.s

Washington. May 1S.-Inability to agree on the reorganization plan of the National Guard today caused deadlock between Senate and House conferees that led to an appeal to the House for instruc. tions wrangle in the House, however. delayed action until tomorrow.
 Chairman Kahn. reporting the dis. agreement to the House, moved that the House approve a compromise plan by which each state would decide wheth er it's guard would be federalzed as pro- posed by the Senate. or organized on the pre-war basis of state control as pro- posed by the House bill.
 Complaint by members. preferring the old organization plans. that the proposed compromise plan had not been examined in detail provoked the dispute that was finally settled by agreement to give the guard provision right of way.
 Representative Mondell, the republican leader, told the House that passage of the army reorganization bill hinged on an agreement on the guard plan.
