House Nears Vote
On Draft Extension;
Reserve Plan Urged
Star Staff Photo.
By Cecil Holland

The House today took up the
administrations request for a
four-year extension of the draft
as defense chiefs trooped to the
Capitol to back national re-
serve plan designed to build up
a ready reserve of nearly S mil
lion men by 1859.
With only three hours of de-
bate scheduled the House was
expected to pass a new draft
law during the afternoon. The
present law expires June 80.
Wilson, Radford Testify.
Shortly before the House met
Secretary of Defense Wilson
and Admiral Radford, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tes-
titled before a House Armed
Services subcommittee in sup
port of the administrations new
reserve plan.
One of the principal features
of the reserve plan is provision
that youths Of II and 18 years
of age could volunteer for six
months active training and then
spend nine and a half years in
the reserves.
Assistant Defense Secretary
Burgess said the Defense De-
partment planned to train about
100000 men a year under this
part of the program if it is au-
thorized by Congress.
First Come, First Serve
In response to questions from
committee members concerned
about the selection of II and 49,
year-oldS for the six-month
basic training, Mr.. Burgess said
they would be selected on "a first
come, first serve" basis.
Mr.. Wilson described the ad-
miniStration's plan as a good
one" and said:
"The speed with which an
other World War might be
fought and the destructiveness
which is possible with weapons
existing in the world today,
makes it imperative that we
place our entire security pro-
gram, reserve forces as we'll as
active forces, on a basis of more
immediate readiness"
