organizations.
Mr.. Wilson called the lack of
any penalty a missing link"
The Hannah plan calls for the
use of Army and Air Force re-
servists in the National Guard.
The present reserve programs of
those services would be abolished
Mr.. Wilson commented that
"some people have a vested in
terest" in the reserve programs
and that they would be heard
from.
The Secretary struck out at
critics Of the top military who,
he said, charged that large mil
itary organizations were planned
so that jobs could be provided
for generals and admirals.
THAT isn't so and it isn't fair"
Mr.. Wilson declared. "All they
are doing Is trying to protect
our country just like anybody
else. ,n
They don't believe in building
up a crushing weight of military
power, nor does any one else"
he added.
Must Change Concept.
Mr.. Wilson made it clear that
the administration had decided
that something must be done
about the military reserve sit
uation because the old concep-
ton OF the minute man with his
musket does not fit any more. -
DR.. Hannah suggested that if
young men who have been draf-
ted refuse to join reserve or
ganization after their active
duty, they should be re-inducted.
Mr.. Wilson said he would accept
that idea until someone comes
along with something better
Mr.. Hagerty had declared at
the White House yesterday that
the whole military manpower sit
uation has been scheduled for
special study during the next
several weeks and no new policy
has yet been approved for SUBJ
mission to Congress.
Plan Being Studied.
7 Mr.. Hagerty made it clear
that the plan discussed by DR.
Hannah is among those being
studied. But he emphasized that
it has not been approved by the
administration and left open the
question of what the adminiStra-
ton decision may be.
At his home in East Lansing,
DR.. Hannah commented:
THE White House statement
is perfectly true and the fact
that the program was not final
lied was made clear in my press
conference last Friday.
There is no misunderStand-
ing. There is always somebody
trying to make a story by dis
torting a little"
The program outlined by DR..
Hannah was described as the
newest approach to universal
military training, to which Con-
greSs has been cool in the past.

anti-knock performance. These engineers,
cross-section of the automotive industry, are
specialists on everything from spark plugs to
high compression engines.
AK already users of Blue Sunoco
We were pleased, but not surprised, to discover
that 1870 of the engineers who answered our
request for their opinions reported they were
already users of Blue Sunoco. This was far
greater number than reported using all other
premium gasolines combined.
High Test at regular gas price
There's good reason for the enviable record of
New Blue Sunoco. Sun Oil Company produces
only one grade of gasoline. This policy saves on
storage tanks, trucks, pumps. These savings are
invested in research and new improved refining
processes which enable us to produce gaso-
line with high anti-knock power especially de-
signed for high compression engines and sell it
at regular gas price.
That's why, if you have been instructed by your
car dealer or owners manual to use premium
Cor High Test') gasoline, you can get it in New
Blue Sunoco at regular gas price.
Follow the lead of automotive engineers,
the men who know most about cars-use
