Neither Mr.. Wilson nor the

Outstanding and to clarity the
position Of the Department OF
Defense and myself in regard to
the National Guard. l would like
to state that We fully recognize
the great contribution Of the
National Guard units that were
modified during the Korean
war. as we'll as in prior wars IN
the service of our country.
Furthermore. there has never
been any intention of casting
any reflection on the individual
young men who Joined the Ma
tional Guard during the Korean
conflict. They had every right to
elect to do SO.
Deferred From Draft
Under the law. the Army
National Guard was and is per-
mitted to enlist young men be-
tween the ages of II and 1872,
These young men are thereafter
deferred from the draft provided
they continue their National
Guard training.
However, this provision OF
law during the Korean conflict
and at present has resulted in
an unacceptably high percentage
of persons without prior military
training in the Army National
Guard. Our criticism is not OF
the Guardsmen but of the sys-
TEN that tends TO perpetuate
this low standard of training and
readiness.
Regardless OF any construc-
ton placed upon what ] have
already said. charges we're made
by many persons during and
after the Korean war to the eff
feet that some individuals en-
tered the National Guard to
avoid the draft. This probably
resulted from the efforts of some
who were trying to recruit num-
bers and in so doing played up
the draft deferment feature
which the law allowed.

Review Sought
On Flight Rules
ByMdgnuson
BY CHARLES YARBROUGH


A resolution directing the Civil
Aeronautics Board to tighten
regulations on flight over urban
areas will be introduced on Capt.
tol Hill Monday.
Senator Magnuson. Democrat
OF Washington, chairman of the
Commerce Committee, cited p
new outbreak of air crashes this
week and said he will take the
resolution before his committee
and then submit it to the Sen
ate.
He said the air tragedies
should be a CHASTITY lesson for
those who are opposing a second
airport for Washington"
Even before the accident which
snatched a Northeast Airlines
Florida bound DEG out of the
skies and smashed it on Rikers
Island killing at least 20, James
T. Pyle. administrator of Civil
Aeronautics had acted to end
Itest-flight peril.
Aims Explained
His action in directing all re-
gional Offices of CAA to establish
local areas for test fights. was
aimed at preventing repetition
of last Thursdays West Coast
mid-air collision which killed
seven persons.
The crash involved a DC-7 and
a jet fighter, both of which were
being test-flown. Wreckage of
the big liner fell into school
playground. killing two students.
Other recent developments in
clude a presidential order for a
study aimed against uncontrolled
test flights and congressional
demand for legislation setting
penalties for those who abuse
the air. over populated areas.
Authority Cited
Senator Magnuson pointed out
that the CAB is legally cmpow-
cred to establish flight patterns
for all aircraft, including the
military. He said that CONNER
cial air traffic already has regu-
lations on flight over populated
areas.
He took into consideration
weather conditions existing at
the time Of the Northeast crash
last night. About a half hour
before the accident. there was
light snow and fog. with a CELL
ing of 800 feet and visibility of
three-quarters OF a mile. At
$50 pm. about 80 minutes after
the crash. the ceiling was 700
feet and visibility three-quarters.
Northeasts weather minimums
for take-offs at La Guardia are
200 feet and a half mile, a
spokesman said.
Since the airliner-jet crash in
California last Thursday. there
have been four others involving
five aircraft. two of them Amer
lean planes in France.

Guard whose leaders urged its
full mobilization, nor should it
DE interpreted as disparaging the
great contribution which the Ma
tional Guard has made through
out the history of our county.
Still, it cannot be denied that the
lot of those who entered the Ma
tional Guard and were not
modified was easier than that
of the young men who were in
Quoted by selective service or who
volunteered for the active
forces. Those in non-mobilized
Guard units stayed at home
without even undergoing the
rigors of basic training.
1T is not difficult to realize,
without questioning anyone's
motives. the attitude which this
developed in the minds of many
parents whose sons had gone of
to fight In Korea.
I'm the event that war is forced
upon this country in the future,
the need for immediate avail
abity of trained men in a Ma
tional Guard of about its present
size, as we'll as other reserve
componentS. will be of far more
immediate urgency than at any
time in the past,
AT the present time. there are
ample numbers in the Army Ma
tional Guard. but 80 per cent OF
them still have had no prior
military training. The action
which the Army has recon-
mended and has approved is
designed to m aintain the
strength Of the Guard while at
the same time increasing its ex-
perience factor to a degree es-
sential to permit it to discharge
its mission.
THE program which the Army
is putting into effect is designed
directly to assist the National
Guard. giving it the kind of
trained and instantly ready COM
bat capability which the condi-
tons of modern warfare and its
mobilization requirements make
imperative.
THE real concern of the De-
partment of Defense is to
achieve the maximum degree of
combat readiness in the National
Guard. and to assure. once and
for all. that no question exists
in the minds Of anybody as to
the trained and deployable
status of that organization"
Favors 6-Month Training
The Defense Department has
proposed that all youths enter
ing the National Guard be given
six months basic training. The
politically powerful National
Guard Association. which coun-
tered with a three months
training period proposal. has
criticized the Defense Depart
ment position on the grounds
that such long periods of train
ing would interfere with the
youths schooling.
Reaction to Mr.. Wilson'S. state
ment with reference to the
Guard during the Korean war
was immediate. as the Defense
Chief appeared to anticipate
Mai. Gen. Ellard A. Walsh,
president of the Guard Associa-
ton. called Mr.. Wilson's remark
"a damn lie"
Instead of evading the draft"
he said, "a man enlisting in the
National Guard is making him
self liable to active service. Not
one of these young men is a
draft dodger."
