Primary emphasis on volun-

event Of failure to recruit the

the request or approval Of the
Governor Of a State. personnel

the active forces may be assigned
to the National Guard for their

Fourth, I recommend that
legislation be adopted to induce

have served less than two years
may be recalled to active duty

Such action, which will be taken
in accordance with existing
statutory authority and pro-
cedures, Is based upon the con-

be met adequately by other
means.
The terms Of service should
be retained at the .24-month
level established by the 82d
Congress after weighing the
military efhciency and dollar
cost arguments involved. Those
arguments. whose solndness
was proved in the experience of
the three past years, are now
compellingly persuasive that
shortening the term of service
would seriously damage the
combat readiness of our active
forces.
The present operation Of Se-
lectiye Service is recognized by
the American people as an
equitable and necessary solu-
ton TO q national problem. The
calm planning for q call. the
unquestioning acceptance Of it,
the smooth adjustment to q new
way ofslife, manifested by mil
lions of our young men and
their families, evidences the
maturity of their attitude to-
ward the problem Of national
security.
Under the new National Re-
serve Plan, selective service and

needs with the least possible
disruptive impact on the life
Of the individual citizen and the
civilian economy. Flexibility is
a primary characteristic of the
plan. Constant scrutiny and re-
view of its operation by the
services will assure its increas-
ing efficiency.
The Reserve Program.
The reserve program has been
the subject of extensive study
In the Congress, in various Gov
ernment agencies and in the
military services themselves
over long periods Of time. AS
in our active forces, we will rely
as heavily as possible on volun-
tary service. To further this
purpose. recent surveys indicate
that certain improvements can
be accomplished within the
services, without legislation.

ally with particular attention to
training for combat missions.
In addition, however, there is
need for certain changes in pres
ent laws relating to the reserves.
There are fiye principal areas
where affirmative legislation Is
needed to provide the basis for
a strengthened reserve plan.
First, present law divides re-
serve personnel into categories
that do not lend themselves fully
to strategic requirements. I
recommend that this be altered
so as to provide one group of
reservists who can be organized
into a force maintained in a high
degree of readiness to meet i'm
mediate mobilization requires
ments, and a second non-organ-
lied group with prior service who
would be called into military
service by a selective process. if
the need for their services should
develop in a general mobilization.
The first group should be kept
ready through training. through

HOLLYWOOD, July 31.-No
young leading man in recent
years has reached the top rung
on Hollywood's treacherous
ladder any faster than hand
some George Nader. He got
there without the customary
amount of actor schooling his
studio, UNIVERSAL Information
al, usually insists upon-and
thereby hangs a story.
In the U-I commissary the
other noon, someone asked
George what picture he was
going to do next. Without
batting an eyelid, he replied:
Gosh don't even know
what JEFF Chandler is up for. "
1t was a dead-panned quip,
Of course, but in view Of
Georges odd experience it
seemed wholly understandable.
Thanks to Chambers refusal
to do two successive pictures,
Nader hit two successive jack
pots and his fame-and salary
--have skyrocketed.
Under normal conditions,
Nader, like any other newcom-
er would have been required
to serve out his apprenticeship
in at least a few supporting
rpleS. But Chambers baking
changed that routine.
Rest Is History
First it was the detective
role in six Bridges to Cross"
that jeff shied at. Nader took
overland the rest is history.
He became a marquee name
overnight. He had hardly
completed his scenes in that
one before Chandler went rebel
again. JEFF didn't relish play
ing opposite Maureen O'Hara
in Lady Godiva," which he
figured strictly a woman
star" movie. So the cry went
up again: Let George do it,"
George did-and career light
ming struck twice in the same
place. No wonder Nader takes
a sharp interest in every script
handed to Chandler.
Nader's means of getting
there is not at all an isolated
pattern in this mixed-up-
career-building mart. Bright
spotlights play on many an
actor whose big break came
when someone else bowed out
of a screen role.
An Award-W Winner
One notable example in
volved a decision a couple of
years ago by Jack Palance.
Under contract to 20th-Fox,
he longed to free-lance and
was trying to figure a way to
duck his contract. When an
assignment came along, he
merely refused it. His scheme
worked and he switched over
to a role with Joan Crawford
in Sudden Fear" one that
won him an Academy Award
nomination. But he didn't
get the Oscar. The award as
best supporting actor went to
Anthony Quinn for his per-
formance in Viva Zapata!"
"a role Palance had refused
to play!
A few years back character
actor Cecil Kellaway was
wrapping up all the choice
roles calling for droll old gen.
tlemen. He was kept so busy
that when 20th-Fox sought
him for a job that didn't seem
too big, Kellaway turned it
