Only 18-year-olds would be sub
jcct to the one-year training under
the latest version of the compro-
mise plan for universal military

Senator Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota.
At the same time. Senator Cur
ney said the age limits on the
tWO-year temporary draft plan in
the Senate bill would be 19 years

25.
We learn there is not enough
available manpoWer between 1872
and Is to fill expected needs of the
two-year draft plan" the Senate
Armed Services Committee chair
man told reporter. Too many
of them are veterans. married or
exempt as members of the National
Guard or other class A Reserve

Originally Senators wanted to
apply the one-year training in the
regular forces to youths between l8
and 1872 with tWo-year draft terms
on men from 1872 through 25.
Draft to Be Ready Tuesday.
Both President Truman and Sec
retary of Defense Forrestal have
backed the Senate compromise as
a substitute for their original long
range separate UNIT program.
Senator Gurney said a complete
draft Of the new manpower bill
will be ready for committee action
Tuesday morning.
He said the overall totals re-
main unchanged. These call for
one year of training of 161 900 of
the 18-year-oldS for one year. Of
these the Army would get 10000.
the Navy 10000, the Marines 5000
and the Air Force $4,000.
The Senate bill also carries these
top manpoWer limits, which do not
include the one-year traineeS, for
the regular services: Army, 100 900;
Navy and Marines, $4,000, and Air
Force, 453000. These total / ,795 900.
Meanwhile, Chairman Andrews of
the House Armed Services Commit
tee said his group will have a sapa-
rate stop-gap draft bill ready late
tomorrow.
1t excluded the one-year training
proposals of the Senate bill as
UNIT substitute.

ITI1Hpr tho unnCo hill
Is through 30 years would be re-
qulred to register, with those from

The House measure carries a new
manpoWer ceiling of 100000 for
the armed services divided as fol-
lows: Army. $4,000; Navy, $4,000:
Marines, 10000, and Air Force,
$4,000.
Mr.. Andrews said yesterday that
Defense Secretary ForreStal and
other defense. leaders will testify at
open hearings tomorrow on the
House manpoWer measure.
II have talked with Speaker Mar
tin and in all probability the House
can take this up the week follow
ing Mr.. Andrews said.
Meanwhile, plans of air power
advocates to rush congressional ap-
proval of the 70-group modern air
force are stalled in the Senate with
action unlikely before late next
week.
The House already has approved
343 to 3 a $3,198, 100000 money bill
to begin building the 70-group air
force and also expand naval air
power.
