Washington (U.R) The new
military reserve program will
have a tremendous impact on
the lives of America's young
men of miltiary age. For the
first time in history, they will
be compelled to serve in the re
serve following active duty.
Here are the major features
of the bill and the various
courses by which youths will
be able to fulfill their military
obligation:
Tive Years of Duty
Compulsory Reserve Duty
All men entering the service
after enactment of the bill will
be required to serve a total of
five years on acitve duty and in
the ready reserve forces. Men
already in the service at the
time of enactment will not be
compelled to participate in the
reserve. But if they volunteer
for reserve duty, they will re
ceive special "bonuses-in-time."
These bonuses will reduce their
term of active duty or the length
of their non-participating ready
reserve obligation.
Ready Reserve Duty Ready
reserve participation will con

drills plus two weeks of field
training annually or 30 days of

days of duty under penalty of
court martial action.

but they will not be required to
participate in the reserve.

Call-Up Up to 1,000.000
ready reservists can be called
up to active duty by the Presi
dent in an emergency. Standby
reservists can only be called up
in a national emergency declar
ed by Congress, and then only
through the selective service
system.
Six-month Training Program
Pre-draft age youths who
volunteer will be given six
months of training followed by
l1 years of ready reserve parti
cipation. Youths will have these var
ious courses by which they can

Interior Group OKs Hells Canyon Dam
Washington (U.R) A
House Interior Subcommittee by
a one-vote margin approved a
bill today to authorize construc
tion of the 5484,000,000 Hells
Canyon project on the Snake
river.
Chairman Wayne N. Aspinall
(D-Colo.), said the vote for the
controversial bill was 14 to 13,
with all favorable votes coming
from Democrats and all oppos
ing -votes coming from Republi
cans. Two Democrats were ab
sent. The vote puts the bill before
the full committee, which has
its next scheduled meeting Tues
day. Rep. Gracie Pfost (D-Ida.),
one of four sponsors of the bill,
said chances for full committee
approval appeared to depend on
when Congress, adjourns.

A reporter asked the Presi
dent at his news conference
whether he intended to invoke
provisions of the Taft-Hartley
labor act in the strike against
three major producers and re
fineries. The President replied that be
fore doing so it would be neces
sary to examine the situation to
see if it caused a national emer
gency.. Government officials
have" indicated that the Presi
dent will not invoke the Taft
Hartley law.
