Japan Draws Up Bill
10 Raise Army, Navy
Under Other Names
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO. April 19.-The news
paper Asahi tonight said the Jap
anese Government is drafting a
bill to create a war ministry and
a small army and navy by July /.
The organizations would be
called by other names in order not
to conflict with Japan's mo war"
constitution.
The newspaper said the minis
try would be called the security
board" the present infantry-like
National Police Reserve would be
called the security force" and the
present coast defense would be
called the marine guard"
Cabinet Approval Expected.
No air force was provided for
but one is believed under consid-
Grafton, Asahi said.
The newspaper said Cabinet APP
proval was expected by Tuesday
and that the measure would be
submitted to Parliament shortly
thereafter.
1t was understood the plan has
the basic approval of American
authorities, who are eager for
Japan to contribute more toward
the defense effort against possible
Communist designs.
Under the mo war" clause in
its new constitution, Japan re-
nounces the right to maintain an
army and navy. AS interpreted
now by japanese authorities, this
is taken to mean that the names
"Rikugun" and "Kaigun" (army
and navy cannot be used, and
that the forces must be small and
essentially defensive in nature.
Light Weapons Called Legal.
Government spokesman have
said several times that such forces
would comply with the constitu-
ton if they were not equipped
with heavy weapons.
The bill described by Asahi does
not provide for any reserve sys-
Iem or allow the government to
call up discharged members of
the new forces.
Under the proposed bill, Asahi
said, land and sea forces are un-
der the security board, and if an
air force is eventually created it
would become a third member of
the military team.
The prime minister would have
the power to call out the forces
in national emergency, but
would have to get vote of APP
prevail for the order from the
Diet within 20 days.
The national police reserve is
being expanded from $4,000 off,
GERS and men to 10000 by fall.

Armed Forces Order
9-Month Extension Of
Expiring EnIistments
By John A. Giles

Armed forces enlistments not
previously extended have been
extended for a maximum of nine
from the normal expira-
ton date, the Defense Department
announced today.
The extension applies to enlisted
personnel, whether serving on &C
tive duty or not, whose enlist
ments normally would expire be-
tween July l Of this year and
June 80, 1858. About $4,000 are
affected.
The Defense Department said
that not all men would be re-
quired to serve the full period of
the extension and that mo man
would be kept on duty any longer
than absolutely necessary"
The order is applicable to all
components of the Armed Forces
including the Reserves and the
National Guard. However, the
maximum authorized active duty
tours of reservists and guardsmen
are not heightened by the extern
sion. Nor are existing programs
for separating the reservistS and
guardsmen affected.
Those Not Affected.
The department said that the
extension did not affect the fol-
lowing personnel:
/. Those whose enlistments have
been previously extended.
2. Those indicted through Sc
lective Service.
3. Draft registrants who volun-
tarily enlisted in the Army for
"a months.
Personnel in the latter two cate
gories cannot legally have their
terms of enlistment involuntarily
extended except in the event of a
declaration of war or a declara-
ton of a state of national emer-
gency by Congress.
Sanctioned by Congress.
The department pointed out
that under the terms of the law
passed by Congress, the Presi-
dent had authority to extend en-
listmentS for a period of IL
months but that no individual
enlistment shall be extended
more than once. In similar exec
utive orders last year and in 1850,
enlistments were extended IL
months.
1.-THE extension was invoked
with reluctance and only because
it was absolutely necessary in the
light Of the serious international
situation" the announcement
stated.
"Since the conflict in Korea be-
gan, the armed forces have been
in a rapid build-up STAGE" the
announcement continued. "It is
essential to have experienced and
highly trained men retained in
order to bring seasoning into &C
tive units and also to continue
training programs for recruits"
