Petitions May Start
Circulating Saturday
About 100 residents of the re

Roy Wilkes, one of the leaders
of the successful annexation ef

He pointed out fringe areas in
the district not desiring sewer
facilities can be excluded. The
Lone Pine' area is an example,

in about three or four months.
Actual construction of sewers
could start in about six months
with the whole project complet

Army Expected To
Compromise on
Guard Training
States Opposition
To Postponement
Washington (U.R) Rep. Over
ton Brooks (D-La.) predicted to
day that the Army will agree to
a compromise plan to require
more training for national
guardsmen.
The Army, after a quick look
at press reports of the compro
mise, turned it down as unwork
able. But it carefully kept the
door open for further negotia
tions. Brooks, chairman of a House
Armed Services Subcommittee
which has studied the Army
Guard controversy,, said he was
confident a "mutually satisfac
tory agreement" will be reached.
The subcommittee has author
ized Brooks to seek a compro
mise along lines of his proposal
to delay for 15 months an Army
order requiring six months ac
tice duty for Guard recruits be
tween 17 and I8V2 years old.
Army Opposed
The Guard accepted. But the
Army said the postponement put
the added training "so far in the
future" as to make the plan urir
workable.
Brooks was asked whether he
might agree to a shorter delay
than 15 months, if the Army per
sisted in its stand. He did not
reply directly, but said "we'll
work it out."
"The Army is not going to be
so insistent about everything
that they incur the opposition of
the whole country," Brooks
said. "I think you can say the
Army is going to be reasonable,
and we will expect them to be
reasonable."
Recruiting Problem
The Army wants to put the
six-month plan into effect April
1. The Guard opposed the Army
plan on grounds that the addi
tional traning would make it
more difficult to recruit new
members for the Guard. It pro
posed that active duty for re
cruits between 17 and be
limited to 11 weeks.

a meeting and refused furgier
details. The meeting was held

Main Points Repeated
The spokesman offered little
