Reseryist Program
BY John A. Giles

"A new multi billion dollar
military reserve program is being
hammered out at the Pentagon
so that President Eisenhower can
present it td Congress in January
as his No. ! legislative objective.
The administrations plans,
once agreed to lin principle" are
being completely restudied. with
the result that the Defense De-
partment may come up with some
variations of compulsory reserve
duty.
A combination Of universal
military training - by which
youths take basic training and
then go into reserve components,
and universal military service,
requiring all qualified youths to
serve at least two years on active
duty and then become reseryists
may result.
Carter L. Burgess, the new
Assistant Defense Secretary for
Manpower and Reserve Forces,
is attempting in day and night
sessions to bring the military
manpoWer experts together on
program.
Program Will Be Costly.
Admittedly. the program will
be costly. A previous estimate
of 50 billion annually made by
DR.. John A. Hannah, former
Assistant Defense Secretary,
now is considered greatly in
adequate That cost figure was
made on the basis of plan
approved by The National Sc
curity Council calling for COM
pulsory reserve duty by all
veterans.
Any reserve system worthy
of the name would involve ex-
pense, chiefly in drill, training
and equipment, although no.
where near as much as would
the maintenance of a regular
establishment of like size.
+ Officials seem to favor a sys-
tenn OF universal military train
ing for all qualified young men
when they become 1919 years
old. Any large and effective re-
serve system appears certain to
involve some form of universal
training under whatever pala-
table name it is disguised.
The officials have not decided
on how long basic training should
last. Periods of four or six
months have been mentioned in
the past.
The enormous cost and the
idea of universal training itself
are at present opposed by a
great many members of Con-
gress who are worried about the
already heavy expense expendi-
lures. These same men for years
have been unwilling to support
anything like universal training
except in actual war.

Bandit Near Death
After Police Bullets
End HoIdup Chase

A paroled convict, called in
corrigible nearly 80 years ago,
was near death in District Cen
eral Hospital today OF wound
suffered when he and a hench-
man were shot down by police
in a robbery getaway last night.
A third man surrendered after
the gunf1re.
His chest ripped open by a
slug. Archibald Lyles, A. who
came to the District in 1918 and
soon set out on a criminal career,
was given only a slight chance
of survival.
Also in the hospital with two
wounds in the left shoulder was

record. Reed achieved notoriety

Mendes-France Acts
To Spur Plan With
Confidence Votes
By III. Associated pr.,,

| PARIS. Nov. 5.-Premier Pierre
Mendes-France today Staked the
life of his government on an
! Assembly vote on a relatively
| minor budgetary dispute. He
asked for vote of confidence
as a maneuver to ram through
budget proposals curbing SPEND
ing.
! Specifically, the Premier OPP
posed an increase for the Com
munications Ministry, which the
Assembly Finance Committee
| favored.
It was the third vote of con-
f1dence the Premier has de-
manded since he took office last
summer. His cabinet author
lied him earlier in the day to
pose a question of confidence on
almost anything he felt neces-
sary-including the budget. the
handling of French affairs in
North Africa, the scandal of
leaks in the National Defense
Council and an involved dispute
on constitutional revision.
The cabinets decision will help
Mr. Mendes-France push through
the Assembly the agreements on
rearming Germany.
| The Foreign Affairs Commit
tee earlier named a supporter of
the Premier, Deputy Pierre Bill
lotte. to write its report to the
Assembly on the pact.
The selection of Mr.. Billotte
came after Socialist Jules Moch
turned down the job. Mr.. Moch.
/ a bitter opponent of German
rearmament. wrote the COM
mittee's critical report on the
defunct Europe Defense Com
munity plan.
There was no generally &C.
cepted explanation of the COM
mittee's switch. Chairman
Daniel Mayer. a close friend of
Mr.. Moch, passed off the earlier
choice as "a students prank"
Mr. Moch was selected over
Billotte in that vote.
| In turning down the bid, Mr..
/ Moch said he considered more
important his assignment as
Frances representative at big

thorized yesterday in New York

Health for All

One of the great moments in a
Woman's life comes when for the
first time she holds her baby
IN her arms and studies the as
tonishing perfection of the tiny
creature in its first day of life
Yet there are mothers to whom
this moment is forbidden. They
see their babies only through a
pane of glass.
Even at Christmas they cannot
carry their babies in to see the
tree, cannot watch their eyes
light up or hear their chortles of
glee. These mothers have tuber-
culosis. How terribly unfortu.
nate, you say. And yet in a way,
they are fortunate, and they
know it. Not so long ago it was
feared that bearing a child would
make the mothers TB much
worse. Abortion sometimes
seemed necessary to spare her
life.
Recent research has shown
that, in fact, the expectant mother
who has TB usually fares bet
ter if her pregnancy is continued
to the normal delivery of the child
than if it is interrupted. 1t ap-
peared that therapeutic abortion
often had a worse effect on TB
than full-term delivery.
The tuberculous woman can be
just as sure as any woman that
her baby will be born healthy.
OF course, the baby must be kept
away from her to protect it from
infection. 1t may be months be-
fore her TB is cured and she can
safely take him in her arms. But
she can know that she has not in
fected her child.
First, and most important, of
course, it must be known that the
mother has TB. A chest X-ray
and other tests for TB are now
considered an important part of
prenatal care. If TB is discov-
cred the doctor can take the spe-
cial measures necessary to pro-
tect both mother and child. Yet,
it need not have happened at all.
TB is not necessary.
TB can be prevented. Your tu
berculosis association is one OF
5000 working throughout the
year in all parts of the coun-
try to check the spread of this
tragic disease. When you buy
and use Christmas Seals to sup
port your tuberculosis associa-
ton, you help to remove the
pane of glass that separate too
many mothers from their babies.

Halls
First Concert
AS Success
ByjJOhn f. Preston

On Friday evening, Dec. 3 was
launched a notable event on the
Rockville musical scene. The
first in a series of four concerts
featuring musicians of Montgom.
cry County was held at the home
of Mrs. Ruth Marie Taylor. This
idea was conceived and inaug
urated by Mrs. Taylor and Mrs
Johanna Chambers.
The first concert presented
Phyllis Gieseler, soprano, and
duo pianists Dorothy Gull and
Mary Mayes. Mrs. Geiseler open
ed the program with a group of
modern songs by Arnold BaX
cambridge Grist, John Preston
and Susannah Coleman. All were
delivered sensitively and with
beauty of tone. Her last number
was an aria from the opera "Tur
andot" by Puccini. This music
gave her a chance to show her
voice in a powerful dramatic role,
one in which we are not &C
customed to hearing her. She pro
jected the part with tremendous
power and understanding.
Mrs. Gull and Mrs. Mayes be-
gan the second part of the pro
gram with two two-piano arrange
ments of Bach's organ music, the
great chorale prelude "In Thee Is
JOY and the famous Little
Fugue in G Minor" While any
arrangements of Bach's music
leave something to be desired,
these were played with the clar-
ity and precision necessary to a
proper performance of the Ger
man master.
The strict rhythms of Bach
gave way to the romantic har-
monies of the 18th century as
they played two movements from
suite by Arensky and short
piece by Rachmaninoff In the
complex ritards and rhythms of
this music, the ladies were per
fectly at home, and delivered its
many flowing arepggios with nat
ural ease.
Mrs. Gieseler returned to sing
four Christmas songs in modern
arrangements. The carol Jesus,
Jesus, Rest Your Head" was a
high spot in its utter simplicity,
especially for the group of young
people present. Mrs. Gieseler
closed by undertaking the diff
cult. task of presenting a scene
from Menotti's charming Christ
mas opera "Amahl and the Night
Visitors" singing both the part
of Amahl and that of his mo-
Their. Menotti's music presents
problems of intonation and in
depreciation, to all of which Mrs.
Gieseler was more than equal.
Mrs. Gull, who did double duty
throughout the evening, accom-
panied Mrs. Gieseler with taste
and refinement.
The duo-pianists closed the pro-
gram on a lighter note, present
ing variations on the folk tune

Building Contract Record Already
Set in 1854, Dodge Expert Says

The year 1854 has already set
a new all-time record for con-
struction contract ward S,
Thomas S. Holden, vice chair
man of F. w. Dodge Corpora
ton, announced today.
November building and en-
sgineering contracts in the 81
eastern states, as compiled from
: Dodge reports, brought til e
eleventh-month total for 1854 to
ST., 941, $4,000, more than the
figure for til entire year 1858.
November awards totalled ST.
498, $4,000, the highest Novem-
Der total in Dodge's 63-year his
tory and nearly 8 percent ahead
of November 1858. The figure
for eleven months of 1854 was
II percent ahead of the CORE;
spending eleven-month period Of
1858.
Residential building showed
by far the greatest gain, % per-
cent-a ahead of last year for the
eleven-nnonth period. Public and
private works and utilities were
3 percent ahead of last year on
an eleven-month basis, while
non-residential building was
down less than 1 percent. The
drop in non-residential was due
to the fact that a few extremely
large atomic energy plant con-
tracts were awarded last year;
If atomic energy contracts are
disregarded, other nonresident
tial building actually shows a Z
percent increase over last year.
Commenting on these trends,
Mr.. Holden said: "This years
record contract volume reflects
the mounting demand pressures
FOm rapid population growth
and high productivity of the
economy. Current record-break-
ing construction volumes are no
more than keeping pace with
current demands for most class
es of structures, and are actu-
ally tagging behind current
demand in at least two cate
gorieS, schools and highways.
The eleven-month 1854 dollar
volume totals are: nonresident
tial, $6,408,921, 900; residential,
$7756,714,000; public and private

gineering), $3,775, 735,OOO.
