ARMED SERVICE
BILL IS CHANGED
House Makes Three Altera.
tions In Senate
Version

WASHINGTON, July 12.-P-A
House Expenditures subcommittee
today approved a measure prov1d-
ing for %unification of the armed
services but with some changes
in the bill as it passed the senate.
Chairman Hoffman (R-Mich) told
reporters he will call the full COM
mittee together on Monday to speed
the measure to the house floor.
Chief differences in the bill from
the senate version are these:
1. The House bill would pro-
vide that the director of the Of
flee of central intelligence should
be a civilian. Under the Senate
bill, the director could be either
a civilian or a military man.
2. The House bill would provide
no police authority. No internal
security powers and no subpoena
authority for the office of central
intelligence. The Senate measure
does not include these clauses.
8. The House bill would order
preservation of at least the pres
emit size and functions of the
Marine corps. There is not similar
clause in the Senate bill.
Generally, however, the House
subcommittee measure follows the
lines of the bill passed Wednes-
day by the Senate.
