Army Reveals
Detailed Plan 10
Train Reserves
Five-Yeor Program
Would Include All
Officers and Men
By John A. Giles

The Army announced today de-
tails of it's new five-year Organized
Reserve Corps program. which As
sistant Secretary Karl R. Bendet-
sen said would provide every re-
servist an opportunity to receive
training.
President Truman. who sharply
criticized the Armys Reserve pro-
gram in 1948 as being wholly in
adequate, has approved the plan
to place the ORC on a training
par with the National Guard, Mi.
Bendetsen said.
He cautioned, however, that full
appropriations would have to be
provided. He estimated these costs
at from 80 to 35 per cent more
than the $110 million availa ole
this year. The 1851 budget, now
before Congress, carries Sis mil
lion for Army Reserve training.
Sees Cost Increasing.
Mr.. Bendetsen said the recur-
ring costs would run around $14O
million in 1852 and increase to
$3.50 million by 1856. He esti-
mated it then would level off at
$153 million annually. In addi-
ton, funds for equipment and
armory construction, estimated at
$50 million. also must be pro-
vided.
Reserve duty training pay for
other than fully organized units
is to be made available on an
individual participation basis. Per-
sonnel in the volunteer Reserve
would not receive such pay. All
would be eligible for IS days paid
active duty annually.
Pay Periods Provided.
Mr.. Bendetsen told a news con-
ference drill pay periods would
be provided annually as follows
If sufficient funds are supplied:
Forty eight drills - -divi-
sional table Of organization and
equipment units fully organized.
There are approximately 4.50o
ground and service type units that
have a strength of 100 per cent
officer and a minimum cadre of
enlisted personnel in this category.
Twenty-four periods-members
OF Is skeleton divisions and of
other units that are part of the
organized reserve but that are not
fully organized.
Ten periods-organized reserv-
lists who are not members of units
that are part Of the organized re-
serve but who would be used in
dlvidually to augment regular
Army units in an emergency.
Mr.. Bendetsen said personnel
ceilings, similar to those placed on
the National Guard, would have
to be provided for the Reserve
units to make certain that money
provided for drill pay was not
exceeded. Such ceilings would be
made to each Army area COM
mander who. in turn, would allo-
cate the ceilings to the individual
localities.
Calls for School System.
A feature of the new program
would be the ORC school system,
providing progressive training of
individual reservists unable to
participate in required type unit
training.
Generally, the schools would be
located near large centers of pop
ulatlon, eventually covering 90
per cent of the Nation. Plans call
for evening training and week.

minimum of 10 active reservists

The campaign will run the asso-
cations outlay in it's fight against
compulsory health insurance to
we'll over So million in two years.
Administration supporters of
President Truman's compulsory
health insurance plan have criti-
ciZed the AMA's advertising cam

national educational campaign,
who accused them of political
cowardice" and of "headlong re-
treat from public discussion of
this public issue
Mr.. Whitaker said he referred to
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing, Representatives Bic
miller, Democrat. of Wisconsin,
and Dingell, Democrat, of Michi-
gan, and Mrs. India Edwards, vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tlonal Committee.
Advertising Budget.
Mrs. Edwards had said the cam
paign's real purpose is to beat
the Democrats at the polls" and
the ANA retorted that the state
ment was a vicious lie."
Mr.. Whitaker and Leone Baxter,
also director of the AMA's ma
tional education campaign, said
this years budget set aside $780,
| 900 for 70-inch "One-ShOt" ads in

said:
THE American Medical Asso-
citation is determined to aid in
every way possible increasing the

THE advertising copy will be
designed to make the American
people health insurance conscious
and to encourage development of
prepaid medical and hospital care

A public call for 10 very i'm
portant" missing witnesses made
it clear today that the Senate
crime investigators hope to expose
the inroads of Capone mobsters
into Florida rackets.
Among other witnesses who
have been served with subpoenas
is Louis E. Wolfson, Jacksonville
multi-millionaire who heads the
Florida group that bought the
controlling interest in the Capital
Transit Co. last September.
A committee source said Mr..
Wolfson was reached by telephone
in Florida and subsequently
served with a subpoena. The COM
mittee spokesman said Mr.. Wolf
son will testify. The committee
wants to ask Mr.. Wolfson about
reports that he contributed $154,-
900 to Gov. Fuller Warren of
Florida during his 1948 campaign.
10 Asked to Appear.
At least two of the 10 missing
witnesses have previously been
linked with the Capone syndi-
cate. One has been identified as
a former shareholder in Florida
dog track and the other as hav-
ing ''muscled in" on a Miami
gambling business.
The Senate Crime Investigating
Committee wants them as wit
nesses when it opens its Miami
hearings tomorrow. So far, Chair
man Kefauver announced, United
States marshals have been un-
able to find them.
Although there has been con-
siderable speculation, exactly what
the committee hopes to get at
in it's Miami hearings has been
shrouded in. some mystery. The
missing witness list, however, pro-
videS some clues.
Chairman Kefauver publicly
asked these witnesses to appear
at 10 am. tomorrow at the start
of the open hearings. He said
he issued the appeal through press
and radio to give these men notice
that they are wanted as wit

Terrific Echo

There was a sudden and dramatic
interruption in all the talk about
the hydrogen-or H-bomb. Just as
everyone was bordering the fate of
a world on which the monstrous
weapon might be loosed, along
came a report that the Russians
already had it.
The reporter was an Englishman,
a Mr.. de Courcy, who claimed that
he had secret sources inside the
iron curtain which told him what
ever was going on.
THE CLAIM was a bit rugged
for the average American to &C.
cept, inasmuch as there was still
no actual proof the Reds ever had
the atomic bomb. Still, it was
nice, frightening topic of talk, and
discussion was rather widespread.
Naturally, the first impulse was
a great rushing to revamp all At
lantic defense plans and, perhaps
more naturally, to talk of greater
U. S. outlay of arms for herself and
the pact nations.
Amid all the excitement ran an
undercurrent of spy thrills and ma
tional menace with the disclosure
that German physicist, who had
worked with the British in de-
veloping the A-bomb, had given
secret information concerning that
weapon to the Russians.

POLITICS.:
Sound & Fury

The sound and fury OF the up
coming congressional elections was
increasing in volume. If the Re-
publicans could make it stick, they
had found their issue: Liberty
against Socialism"
HOWEVER,, it appeared the
COP was running into the same old
trouble-inability to get along. The
me too" element, while pretend
ing, or appearing, to have changed
its collective minds, was, never
theless chomping at the bit when
called upon to embrace a more lib
eral attitude.
In an 11-day closed meeting, men,
bers of the Republican national
committee and house and senate
Republicans attempted to iron out
their differences. They had hoped
that a proposed statement of "prin-
ciples and detectives" would
serve to unity the party and serve
as a basic platform for the CAM
paign electioneering.
Out of the weller of discord
came these arguments within the
party:
Vigorous opposition to most of
Mr.. Humans Fair Deal policy.
A underground on U. S. foreign
policy, advocating continuance of
the bipartisan policy, but sharply
criticising the administration of it.
Particular condemnation of "sec-
ret agreements" at Yalta and Pots
dam.
Opposition to the spread of COM
munism.
Denunciation Of any socialized
health ~~Hgram, wage and price
contro' Brannan plan.
RET to a balanced budget
and rep Of wartime excise taxes.
A fair price for the farmers
products.
That was the scaffolding for the
platform which the committee
hoped would satisfy all the Repub-
licans. First results indicated it
will not. All of which would bring
smiles to Democratic hopefuls, in
asmuch as there is little hope for
victory at all by Republicans who
are divided. 1t would be tough
enough if they were all united.
