Reserves
- The army plans to start releasing
reserves in July and hopes to
.Army Secretary Pace announced
originally scheduled to get under -
way in September.
Pace emphasized that the re
lease schedule does not apply to
members of the organized reserve,
the national guard, or to regular
army volunteers.
The program calls for the re
lease of a small group in July and
greater numbers each month un
til the end of the year.
No iron-clad point system will
be used to determine the order of
release. The army said, however.
that first consideration will be
given to men in the following or
der of precedence: ,
1. World War Two veterans;
2. Men with other prior military
service; 3. Those with no previous
military service.
Further preference will be giv
en to individuals witn longer
service on the current tour of
duty. The number of dependents
and the age of individuals also
will be considered.
Today's announcement brings
the army's program for the release
of reserves into line with sched
ules previously announced by the
other services.

in
By Carl Hartman
; PARIS,' June 18-(P)-The middle-of-the-road
parties in France
claimed victory in the general elec
tion ; tonight as returns indicated
the new national assembly would
lean farther to the right than the
old one.
1 Premier Henri Queuille, leader.
of the center coalition which has
governed France for the past five
years,- said "the government had
hopes. They have not been dis
appointed." . .
' The middle-of-the-road parties
definitely are emerging with.a
majority in the new assembly.
But this combination covers such
wide spread of economic and
social views that it probably will
have to lean .to the right to stay
in power.:
These other facts emerged from
the Sunday voting:
Gen. Charles De Gaulle's rally
of the French people (RPF) lifted
front the communists the title of
"first party in parliament" But
the communists can still claim the
title !of "largest party in France"
on the basis of their popular vote.
It lrullrwt. at thmifrh tho nm
munists would be down to about
110 seats from the 183 which they
and their fellow travelers had in
the old assembly. De Gaulle prob
ably has improved his standing
from; about a dozen seats to 115 or
morel in his first general election.
But the communists still polled
22.2 per cent of the popular vote.
down from 28.8 per cent they tal
lied m 1845.
