Nearly Million
Vets Enrolled
Strengthen Force Capable of
Rapid Mobilization in
An Emergency.

WASHINGTON.-The war depart
ment disclosed that the army's post
war reserve force is taking definite
shape with nearly a million officers
and CT. veterans enrolled. At
SCHEDULED rates or faster, officials
indicated, the framework of the re-
serve corps is going up at the same
time the regular army is steadily de-
clining in size and the smaller ma
tional guard is trying to conquer diff
ficulties in getting men to fill out its
ranks.
The reserve, under army plans.
will be an elastic force capable of
emergency expansion to three mir
hon men.
Fewer than 700 900 would be in
full strength units ready for M-Day
mobilization.
Lift Information Ban.
Lifting a temporary official ban
OF information which followed heat
ed criticism of war department poll
cies by leaders of the national guard
association disclosed these develop
ments:
l. The entire relationship between
the organized reserve corps and the
national guard has been under Of
fetal review with no hint whether
War Secretary Patterson and Cen
eral Eisenhower, army chief of staff,
have approved changes.
Major General Rockford, Mary
lands adjutant general, told the ma
tional guard association at its Buff
falo meeting that the war depart
ment had engaged in double deal
ing" by favoring the reserves in
postwar reorganization. He assert
ed there had been SILLY, uneconom-
ic competition" for manpower be-
tween the army's two major civilian
components.
2. More than 1000 ground force
reserve units already have been ac-
tivated in class &C" or skeleton
form, with only officers assigned.
Flight retaining of wartime flyers
has been started at 48 army air
fields, of 100 contemplated in official
plans.
3. Latest reports list some 524, 900
enlisted men enrolled for three
years, along with 444, 624 officers,
who signed up for five years upon
release from active wartime serv-
ice. Former G.I.s initially we're slow
to obligate themselves to peacetime
training and to immediate active
in an emergency.
Establish Headquarters.
By comparison, the national
guard, organized into units trained
for M-Day readiness, hopes to en-
roll no more than a third of its full
strength of 682, 900 by next July.
4. Reserve headquarters now have
been set up in all 48 military dis
corresponding generally to the
and instructors assigned ~
most.
Current conferences on policy are
expected to develop new specific
proposals to be submitted to con-
sress for training "class A" full
strength reserve units on a part
lime basis, with the same rates of
pay as provided for the national
5uardsmen.
Twenty-Five reserve divisions are
be organized, to the national
q, including II infantry di-
visions, 3 armored and 5 airborne.
addition there are to be some 16
separate anti-aircraft, engineer and
military brigades.

KOMOTINE, Thrace, Nov. D.
Reinforcements from Xante have
temporarily prevented the encircle-
ment of this little provincial capital
by band of 1900 guerrillas, newly
strengthened with men and equip
ment from Bulgaria.
The whole area between Komotine
and the Bulgarian frontier in the
Rhodope Mountains, 10 miles north
of here, is subject to continual guer-
rilla raids.
The guerrillas are Greek nationals,
but their supplies and inspiration
are largely Bulgarian. They retreat
across the frontier whenever troops
pursue them into the mountains.
Led by Communists.
According to prisoners taken in
two attacks last week the newly Or
ganized Komotine band is divided
into six battalions of 800 men-a1d
a few women-each.
The battalions are led by hardened
Communist veterans who shoot their
seriously wounded to prevent their
talking when left behind, and who
threaten to murder the families OF
any of their peasant troops who sur
render.
They sometimes also behead their
dead in order to prevent their iden-
tification-especially when they hap
pen to be well-known Communists
for whose capture the Greek govern
ment has offered rewards.
| Press Stories Are Denied.
The authorities here are incensed
about reports in the British and
American press that government
troops have been beheading The
dead for purposes of Identification.
They assure me that in Thrace, at
laest, the beheading has been done
exclusively by the guerrirlas.
/ I arrived here in a Greek military
airplane with former Prime Min
lister Panayotis Kanellopoulos, who
is making a tour of the terrorlzed
areas of Northern Greece. kanel-
lopoulos, a leader Of republican
opposition in the Greek Parliament,
is president of the pro-Socialist but
anti-Communist National Union
Party.
We were met at the airstrip by
an armored car and two truckloaos
of Greek soldiers, who escorted US
/ into town.
The troops were in good condi-
ton and their spirits were high.
They laughed and sang as we JOLT
ed over the potholes Of the ancient
Roman highway leading to 1stan-
bul.
Town Doubles in Size.
On the outskirts of Komotine we
paused to inspect a smashed cart
and a dead mule on whose carcass
several dogs were feeding. A peas
ant had driven onto mine planted
by the guerrillas during their
attack on Komotine two nights
earlier.
Life has become so dangerous IN
the surrounding villages that komo-
tines popularity has almost oouoieo
in the past six months.

lation of IS 900 was enjoying sun

down the cobbled main street to
the Central Square. We had hardly
dismounted, however, when the
sirens blew to announce the ap-
proach of another attack. The
crowd, stricken with sudden panic
fled in all directions
Kanellopoulos and I remained
with the colonel commanding the
garrison until the early hours of
the morning, but the attack failed
to materialize.
Instead of converging on Komo-
tine several columns OF guerrilas
marched south, about 20 miles from
the Bulgarian frontier, and re-
treated into small chain OF noun
tains bordering the Aegean Sea.
