3,OOO,OOO.Men Force
Called for in Army's
Precautionary Plan
Surveys Undertoken
For Additional Comps
And Cuntonments
By the Associated Press.

BY he Associated Press.
Plans for housing and training
an Army of 000-double the
size of the force now being organ
ized-are being made by the War
Department.
Military authorities said today the
arrangements were of a precaution-
arv nature. and there was no indi-
cation that, barring some grave
emergency development, any effort
would be made to put them into
effect in the near future.
A force of 100000 would mean
an Army of 55 infantry divisions as
compared with the force of 27 di-
visions, totaling l418OO0 regulars,
reserves, guardsmen and trainees.
which is scheduled to be completed
by June.
Surveys of Sites Made.
In preparing for a possible en-
largement. the War Department has
undertaken surveys of sites for addi-
tional camps and cantonments over
the country.
Military men believed a further
increase beyond the present 1,418,-
900 schedule would entail retention
of the National Guard in active
service beyond the single year now
contemplated, as we'll as a possible
extension of service for drafted men.
The latter are to go automatically
into the reserve on completion of
their years training, and will re-
main subject to recall.
War Department fiscal planning
thus far, however. has been based
on the original intention to return
the guardsmen and trainees to civil
life after one year.
President Roosevelt's request to
Congress on Monday for 1886 900
for additions to existing military
areas for combat training was said
to have bearing on the precaution-
ary expansion plans.
New Arms Plants Provided.
These plans dovetsil into others
already in shape to expand arms
production facilities to meet the re-
quirementS of land forces of 4000,-
900, as a part of S3000,O00 900
program to be presented to Congress.
New powder, ammunition, aircraft,
chemical and other plants now being
constructed were designed to meet
requirements of the force immedi-
ately contemplated, along with the
critical needs of the balance of a
1000 ,000-man force.
The $4,000. 100000 program pro-
vides some s4OO 100000 additional for
new arms factories to be kept idle
unless needed to meet critical re-
auirements for force of 1000 900
such as was raised and trained in
the World War. Also in the pro-
jected request is $1,000 100000 for
arms production orders and $1,000
100000 for the first years output
of bombers to be manufactured
from parts largely fabricated by the
motor car industry.
