Another effort was started by Re-
publican leaders in the House yes

Floor Leader Mondell and mem
bers of the Steering Committee seek
to prevent training advocates on the
Military Affairs Committee from
forcing the issues by including in
the forthcoming army reorgan!za-
tion bill a provision for the estab-
lishmentfof this policy.
The new plan, said to be based on
political expediency, was the sub
ject of informal conferences. Party
leaders called aside first a supporter
and then an opponent on the COM
mittee in an attempt to effect some
sort of an agreement to keep out OF
the bill a straightout training pro-
vision.
The leaders do not regard the ac-
tiap of the committee last Friday as
necessarily compelling that the is
sue be brought out on the floor in
the army reorganization bill. The
