(See Story on Pag 1) Conferees Agree On Reserve Bill Washington U.R) Sen ate-House conferees agreed ten tatively today on a compromise military reserve bill. Conferees said only minor dif ferences remain to be worked out between versions passed by the House and Senate. They pre dicted final approval tomorrow. The compromise would: 1. Make reserve service com pulsory only for men entering the services after enactment of the bill. The administration wanted the compulsion applied to everyone entering the services since July, 1953. 2. Reduce the total military obligation of servicemen in the future from the present eight years to six. Thus a man drafted for two years would have to spend only four years in the re serves. The administration op posed any reduction. 3. Provide incentives for buil ding up the reserves with vol unteers in the next two years. These incentives were not made public. But the conferees knock ed out a bonus proposal which had been approved by the Senate. 5,000 Expected at Adventistsf Meeting Portland U.R) Some 5,000 persons have made reservations for tonight's opening session of the biennial business meeting of Seventh-day Adventists at Glad stone park. i ' t i 1 I fay) THE SOVIET LISTENS During President Esenhower'i speech at the initial Big Four conference in Geneva, the President had an attentive audience in the Soviet delega tion.
