Oregon Representative Lowell Stockman and several other con gressmen introduced a bill in Congress recently to establish a third academy to train military officers, preferably In eastern Or egon. The Secretary of Defense, Lou Is Johnson, recently appointed a service academy board lo study service academy needs for the national military establishment and to deride whether the pro posed academy will be an air academy or a general one for the three services. Stockman said: "I am convinc ed there is need for another serv ice academy, since due to plant limitations It is impossible for the present military and naval academies to be expanded. Even with a third academy the congressmen estimate that these schools would be sufficient lo supply one-fourth of the estimat ed active-duty officer strength of the services. Stockman further explained that the study of the board is to be a very broad one on the acad emy problem. The needs of mili tary service lor educated men I who are to be the future officers and leaders of the three serv ices are evident, he said. Milk Production Study Mad By Government The IT.
