This was not quite the picture. True,
most of Briggs closest friends were not in
baseball, and to the fan he remained aloof.
But underneath he was fan, warmer fan
than some club owners who went into base
ball-and who are in it-for profit.
Briggs never attempted to project his own
personality into the baseball picture. On
the contrary, he studiously kept in the back
ground. But the man on the street, the guy
who likes baseball never had better friend
among the magnates. Nor did the ball play

Some Officials See
Danger in Uniform
Reserve Proposal
by the Associated Press

A House-approved bill heralded
as a vehicle for blanketing the
Nations military reserves into a
uniform system has stirred up
alarm among some Government
officials on ground that it may be
too sweeping.
An unofficial memorandum
setting forth some of their views
is being circulated among various
Government departments, with
the hope of building sentiment for
changes in the bill by the Senate.
The bill was sponsored in the
House last year by Representative
Brooks, Democrat, Of Louisiana
who headed an Armed Services
subcommittee which made a
lengthy study of the whole re-
serves problem. Mr.. Brooks de-
scribed the bill as a means of sys-
tenatizing the reserve setup.
'Ready Reserve" Planned.
AS the House passed the bill, it
would provide that nearly all men
indicted under Selective Service
would go into an organization
known as the ready reserve" after
they had completed their term Of
active duty, now two years.
World War II veterans and most
other present reServiStS would 60
into one of two other classical
tions, the standby reserve" or
the retired reserve"
The alarm expressed in some
quarters stems from the provision
which would. allow the President,
whenever a national emergency
had been proclaimed, to call up
the ready reserve" to active duty.
The other two reserve classes
could be called up only II Con-
gress gave it's approval.
Some officials said that if the
present mobilization program,
with the draft, continues for some
years. a total reserve of some seven
to IL millions might be built up.
The Brooks bill, passed by the
House, would cut down the pro-
portion of ready reserves" sub
ject to Presidential call, in that
number but estimates vary as to
the actual effect.
Regular Drill Required.
The measure provides that after
three years in the ready" cate
CORY, reserves could shift to the
standby classification. But they
could do that only If their three
years had been in an active unit
with regular drill periods and
summer camps.
Military officials say that on
the basis Of past experience COM
paratively few reservists 60 for
the active unit service.
On that basis more than the
possible minimum number would
be likely to remain in ready"
status.
some omclalS said there is no
requirement In the bill that civil
ian manpower needs be considered
before the reserves are called up.
Mr.. Brooks could not imme-
diately be reached for comment
on these fears.
No Early Consideration.
There are no plans for imme-
diate consideration Of the bill by
the Senate. Chairman Russell of
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee said that group will not
take up the bill until it has COM
pleted action on universal military
training legislation now under
study.
The bill is an administration
measure. approved last year by
the Defense Department and the
Budget Bureau. But the opposi-
now building UP also comes in
large part from within the ad-
miniStration.
