OMnse Opartnient Chiefs
Senate Committee
Hears Arguments
Bonus Plan
Washington (U.R) The De
" fens Department! top military
and civilian chiefs pleaded With
senators today not to pull the
compulsory service provision
out of President Eisenhower':
military reserve bill.y
Adm. Arthur W. Radford
. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Defense Secretary Charles
E. Wilson, Gen. Maxwell . D.
Taylor, Army chief of staff, and
other leaders directed their pleas
to the Senate Armed Services
committee.
RusmII's Plan Favored
There is strong sentiment in
the committee ' in favor of
plan by its chairman, Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell (D-Ga.) to scrap
compulsory features of the ad
ministration s reserve program
in favor of a voluntary, system
under which veterans would be
offered a $400 bonus as an in
centive to sign up in the ready
reserves.
Radford told the committee
that there is no evidence from
' past experience that any volun
tary system can bring enough
skilled men for the reserves. If
the compulsory, features are
dropped" he warned, "there
will have to be a complete re
view and reorientation of our
Against
defense plans."
. Argument Challenged
Wilson, in a statement, said
the compulsory authority "must
be granted" to insure an effec
tive reserve force. .
Taylor, while supporting the
bid for compulsory authority
over reservists, challenged the
mAmirimirmirr'm rtfiimnt that
a well organized reserve will
make possible cuts in regular
Army manpower.
The new chief of staff said
that the Army wil- need more,
not fewer, men under the re
serve program because it will
have, to train the -reservists.
Washington Delays
Interstate
Olympia (U.R) The Wash
ington Supreme Court has de
layed, until it gets more evi
dence, issuance of bonds to pay
for the second interstate bridge
across the Columbia river at
Vancouver.
After five judges of the court
held, a department hearing on
the proposition last, week, they
decided Clark county should be
made a defendant in the legal
action testing the validity of the
bond issue. The court called for
a new hearing before the entire
court sometime in September.
The hearing was expected to
revolve around two issues: -
1. Whether the Supreme Court
can issue a ruling which could
be enforced against the state of
Oregon.
2. If it cannot issue an en
forceable ruling, should it issue
a ruling anyway.'
- Until these issues are decided,
bonds for the $11,000,000 new
bridge, cannot be issued, nor can
. a $3,000,000 remodeling job on
. the existing bridge be started.
; The 1955 Washington legislature
: authorized the project,- but the
. state wanted the law tested be
, fore construction of the new
: bridge was started.
Under terms of the law, Ore
' gon engineers would build the
new bridge and remodel the bid
structure. . Washington state
would collect tolls to pay for
the bond issue and cover main
tenance costs.

ment and materials, and pass a

sibility for its power supply.
Right of Dictation Sought

gel asking "by what right" he

point near Fisherman's Wharf in
San Francisco.
Wearing handcuffs, LaLanne
had to battle a strong ebb tide in
San Francisco Bay. He covered
the two-mile distance in 56 min
utes. When he emerged from the
icy waters, he did 30 pushups
just to show he "wasn't tired."
' LaLanne's feat demolished
the myth that it is impossible to
escape from the Island Prison
by swimming. Two prisoners,
Theodore Cole, 23, and Ralph
Roe, 29, disappeared from Alca
traz in 1937. Guards presumed
that strong tides swept them
through the Golden Gate into
the ocean.
Alcatraz Warden Paul J. Mad
igan said he was not in the
slightest worried about the pos
sibility of any of the convicts
on the Rock getting any ideas. ,
"LaLanne must be in very
fine condition," Madigan said.
"I'm not worried that any pris
oner who's been here a year or
two could do it. The water is
too cold."

Madigan refused his permission.

me a sissy" by starting from
a point slightly beyond the is
land. Forced Out of Way
As the crow flies, the distance
to shore is only about one mile.
But LaLanne had to swim two
or two and one-half miles be
cause of the strong tide. -
Yesterday's dip in the Bay was
not the first for LaLanne. Last
year he swam under water
across the treacherous Golden
Gate. He wore an aqualung and
trailed a red balloon on the sur
face so spectators could follow
his progress. ,
LaLanne runs a physical cul
ture studio and has a physical
culture show on a local televis
ion station. He refused to di
vulge his age, but he appears to
be at least in his mid-thirties.
He weighs 174 pounds, and has
a 48-inch chest, 27-inch waist
and has neck and arm measure
ments of 17 inches.
