FIVE-YEAR CACHE • Y. Court Decision Holds U.S. Starts Accumulating W ar Reserve Stockpile WASHINGTON.—First step to build up a 2 billion 100 million dollar war reserve stockpile of the ‘‘critical materials we would need first in an emergency“ have been taken by the government.

Funds for the initial purchases are con­ tained in a 100 million dollar ap­ propriation included in the defi­ ciency appropriation bill voted in closing hours of the recent ses­ sion. Plans for the reserve war cache which ultimately will involve pur­ chases spread over a five-year pe­ riod, were drafted on the strength of actual war experience with shortages.
