military training may not be inelud-
ed in the house army reorganization
bill. under plan adopted by Repub-
lican leaders, calling for considera-
tion OF the measure the latter part
of this week
Despite the decision Of the mill
tary committee, adopting universal
training, in principle, as a part of
the country's future military policy,
efforts were made Monday to pre-
vent the committee decision from
appearing in the reorganization bill.
Mr.. MondeIi was understood to
have suggested the discard of the
training plan, he being supported
by other house leaders, WHO assert
that passage of a reorganization bill
including training plan, is impos-
sihie at present. The floor leader
Is understood to have proposed
that, instead of attempting adoption
of a training plan, that the army
bill merely provided for a con-
gressionai commission on physical
and military training" which would
make it up to congress next
December.
