I'VE believe that with a plan
of this type. the active forces can

Would Require Review.
Mr.. Wilson emphasized that
the reserve plan would make it
possible to maintain regular
forces "at levels that will i'm
pose the least burden on the
national economy and still pro-
vide for military strength as it
may be needed"
But he added II want to en-
phasize that the force require
ments depend on world condi-
tions-the goals we have set
up therefore will be subject to
continuous review"
The secretary said that the
Pentagon had been working on
the plan for almost a year.

the reserve plan is not an iso-
lated concept" he said. ''It is

"One basic principle is that
the training will be directly re-
lated to the need Of the indiyid-
ual and his unit" he declared.

Referring to the cost Of the
program-which some officials
have said will run into billions
of dollars-Mr. Burgess said
they would fall into three cate
gories: Cost of training the
six-months trainees, training of
reserve forces to keep them in
a state of readiness and the
procuring of an equipment stock
pile to be used by these forces
after mobilization.
He mentioned no cost estimate,

cation authority the admins
tration insisted on this year.
Instead. the basic job de-
scriptions leading to reclassi-
| fication of postal positions
would be spelled out and ap-'
proved by Congress. Twenty
postal pay grades. based on the
revised job descriptions, would
be created by Congress.
Thus, Congress, and not the
Postmaster General, would have
the major voice on postal SAL
aries.
.. A fiat 5 per cent minimum
would be guaranteed for all
postal workers. This is more
than the administration offered
this year. This increase would
be retroactive to January l, 1855,
regardless of the date the bill
became law. Also, the proposed
reclassification of postal salaries
would go into effect on July l.,
1855, and this would have the
effect Of adding another 2 per
cent wage increase for the aver
age postal worker, for an average
overall pay boost of per cent.
3. Absolute guarantees would
be written into the reclassiflca-
ton law guaranteeing present
postal workers against future job
downgrading.
Postal employe union leaders
are studying the Administrations s
proposals but have not yet COM
mitted themselves. They have,
however. informed the Post
Office Department that the pro-
posed 5 per cent minimum boost
is too small. They are seeking
10 per cent.
AS for classified employees, the
administration is preparing a
reclassification plan expected to
provide an average raise of or
6 per cent.

Disc Jockey
lis Fired For
Long Kiss

CHICAGO IA disc jockey was
fired yesterday for kissing q Holly
wood starlet for more than two
minutes on his televiSion program
in what he termed an experiment
testing the reaction Of TV audi
ences.
The reaction, said an official oi
station WBKB, an American
BroadcaSting Co. affiliate, came
from hundreds of women viewer:
after the marathon kissing episode
involving Jack Eigen, radio and
TV veteran, and Cleo Moore,
film starlet.
A station spokesman said the
women protested the long kiss, and
charged Eigen with ''vulgarity,
"coarseness," and bad taste"
The station told Eigen in a tele'
gram notifying him of his dis
missal that the kissing exhibition
on his telecast Monday night wal
in extreme poor taste" II addec
that the long kiss under no cir
cumstsnces can be considered &C
ceptable television fare in tht
homes of our viewers.
Il have no guilty conscience,
said Eigen, a former New Yorl
disc jockey. ~ have been happil,
married for IS years, and my wife
knew what | planned for the pro
gram. II she had thought there
was anything unladylike or rude
about it, she would have told me.
Eigen said his performance OF
his telecast, which was not a net
work program, was inspired b.
the censorship imposed on tn,
length Of kisses in the movies
Eigen and Miss Moore sat in sep
arate chairs when they kissed
The station estimated the kiss wa
more than two minutes"
II wanted to see whether TN
audiences are more broadmindet
than movie audiences" Eigen said
Il can't see that it was in poo
taste"
Miss Moore said the kiss seer
tainiy was not intended to be of

the kiss, she said, Il tried to b,
a good sport. I'm sorry that al
this came about because I wouldn'
