Conferees Fail to Aqree
On Foreign Aid Funds

million legislative money bill are
still going through final stages,
but offer no serious obstacle to
adjournment.
The reserve bill is intended
to increase the number of re-
servists taking regular training
from 100000 to 30 million by
1860. Senators have expressed
doubt that 1t will achieve that
goal, because some of the COM
pulsion favored by the admin
istration was eliminated. But
they believe it will make the
reserve force stronger than it
has ever been before.
Provision of Plan
Highlights of the plan are:
Present and past servicemen
are relieved from any obligation
to report for regular drills or
summer encampment with re-
serve units, but will still be car
ried on the roster as reservists
for an overall period of eight
years. counting active duty.
All men drafted or enlisting
after the President signs the bill
will be compelled to take reserve
training at the end of their ac-
tive duty, but their overall obi
cation is shortened to six years.
In an effort to induce present
and past Servicemen to volunteer
for reserve training during the
next two years. the bill offers two
methods of shortening their per-
Iod of obligation.
One plan would allow up to
$50, 900 men who have served one
year in the armed forces to be
transferred Immediately to re-
serve units if they agreed to drill
regularly and go to summer
camps for three years. I.
The other plan would allow
and to pay cash benefits to dis
abled persons.

House and Senate conferees
made no headway at their first
meeting today toward an agree
ment on the foreign aid fund
for this year, one of six must"
bills on Congress- pre-adjourn-
ment schedule. But they ar
ranged to meet again this after
noon on the $576 million diff
ference between the two houses.
The House is holding out for
$2.6 billion, while the Senators
are insisting on the admins
tration figure of $3.2 billion.
Another issue playing an i'm
portant part in determining how
soon the session will end is the
natural gas bill, which has a
green light for House considera-
ton late today. If the Senate
insists on considering the gas
bill. Congress may be here until
the end of August. But, most
observers were convinced today
the Senate will put this off until
January. even If the House
passes it.
Demand Extended Debate
Opponents of the bill, which
would lessen the degree Of Fed
eral control over producers of
natural gas, made it clear today
they would not let the Senate
vote without extended debate,
which might take all of August.
The House Rules Committee

ing bill. to keep the FILA mort
gage program going.
Meanwhile, the military re-
serve program, one of the major
accomplishments of the session,
was on its way to the Presidents
desk. 1t cleared the last hurdle
when the Senate approved the
compromise bill worked out by
conferees.
The minimum wage increase
from rs cents to 81 an hour was
still tied up in conference by a
dispute over the special rates for
Puerto Rico. Conferees will try
again today to agree.

Committee has made no formal

listments after the bill becomes
law to discharge their reserve
obligation by volunteering for

An important new feature is
the authority to let 25O,O00 teen
ayers volunteer for from three
to six months of active duty and
seven and one-half years In the

ferred from the draft, unless
they failed to keep up their re-

While the bill is not precisely
what the President originally
sought, members of Congress
