The Gallup of Reservists and
National Guardsmen is ex-
pected to cost more than $500
million by next summer.
This is not the whole cost
of the stepped-up mobilization
begun last summer on Presi-
dent Kennedy's order.
The rest of the estimated 81
billion increase in the military
budget, originally proposed last
January, is for equipment, re-
opening of bases, expansion of
the services through other
means and for other items.
One of the biggest single
cost items in the Gallup is for
the two 1ederalized National
Guard divisions, WiSconsin'S S
32d Infantry Division and
Texas 49th Armored Division.
119,5OO Reservists
The Budget Bureau estimates
this outlay will run to about
$500 million, of which $160
million is for operation of the
two divisions.
In all, about 119,500 Army
ReserviSts were recalled. This
includes about $1,000 men in
the two Guard divisions, $4,000
other Guardsmen in other units
and Ready Reservists. In ad-
dition, the Air Force and Navy
put about 36,500 GuardSmen
and Reservists on active duty.
New estimates on costs for
the recall, other than those for
the two divisions, were not
available.

in the District.

tion program was submitted to
Congress last July, a prelimi-
nary overall estimate for
Army personnel cost was $495
million. This figure included
costs of building up Army
strength through recruits as
we'll as Reservists.
The Air Force uses a 1854
million estimate for personnel,
saying this represents primarily
the Gallup of Air Guard and
Reserve fighter and transport
units. together with retention
of units which had been
planned for disbanding before
the Berlin crisis developed.
Operation Not Included
The $164 million is only for
personnel and a relatively
small amount for refurbishing
bases for the units called up.
1t does not cover aircraft
maintenance, fuel and other
operating expenses.
A rough estimate for the
Navy's cost in manning ships
and aircraft squadrons with
approximately 8,400 recalled
ReservistS is about $42 million.
Again, this estimate does not
cover operating and other
costs, still being calculated.
The operation and mainten-
ance cost for all the services
and for regular as we'll as
Reservist units has skyrocketed
by an estimated 1881 million
since pre-mobilization days.

Mr.. Stetler spoke to nearly

He was backed by Oliver

Mr.. Field said that, "As one

Of course, applies principally to
