even though eight of 37 civil
ian combat divisions and
many other historic units will
be wiped out.
Defense Secretary McNa
mara. summing up the changes
which will eliminate 1,800
and create 1.000 new units,
said "This reorganization is
designed to increase combat
readiness."
Modernixtt Reserve
"The net effect," the secre
tary declared, "will be to mod
ernize the reserve components
of the Army and produce a
responsive, effective comple
ment to our regular forces,
with a strength far greater
than any we have known in
the past."
Mc.Namaia's words were
greeted witli skepticism but
the Army took a step toward
their realization this month
by including the Guard's 23
remaining divisions ; the
first time in a modernization
program called "Reorganiza
tion Objective Army Divi
sions." The questions now are how
much of the new equipment
called for in ROAD will actu
ally filter down to the civil
ians - in the last analysis
it's a matter of financing to
be settled with Congress - and
as for the active Army.
A minimum of 00 per
cent of the men units must
have specific skills, which
means they must have had
enough training to gel an
MOS (M i I it a ry Occupation
Specialty).
- .No units will be per
mitted to exceed authorized
strength, except for a tempo
rary excess of 10 per cent al
lowed to take care of men

on a chart with this title.
Designed to help offset the
efiect of higher postage rati-s
that went into effect Jan. 7.
the chart advises:
Use only the postal serv
ices you need. Sending a let
ter by air mail on Friday,
lor example, is usually un
necessary; first-class postage
most likely will get it there
by Monday morning, anyway.
Pay the correct postage,
and no more. Don't be out of
8-ccnt air mail stamps when
you need one, and be tempted
to put whatever is available
on the envelope, such as two
fl-ccr.; stamps an overpay
ment of 25 per cent.
Get the maximum value
out of the postage you use. In
essense, put more contents
into each envelope and get
mure value out of the envel
ope itself.
-Mark the letter or parcel
properly. Label large first
class flats as "First Class" so
lliey won't be mishandled as
of a lower class.
Mail at the best time for
your purpose. Mail deposited
at peak periods gets slower
handling, so mail several
times a day.

Congress To Act
Maj. Gen. William H. Har
rison, president of the Nation
al Guard association, said he
believes these factors will be
taken into serious considera
tion when Congress takes a
look at legislation involving
Guard manpower and appro
priations. The federal govern
ment pays 00 per cent, the
states 10 per cent of the cost
of maintaining the Guard.
The National Guard opened
10(;i with Ls strength down
to 37;),(HI0 - lowest since the
Korean war. A buildup lias
begun but current regulations
probably will limit it to 3U0
000 by July 1.
Gen. Harrison said tradi
tional strength can bo main
tained if Congress approves
a change in wording of legis
lation and if the Pentagon
honors Iho change as a mail'
date. The change would subai-
tutc the words "will be main
tained at an average strength
has served in the i f 400.01)0" for "will be pro
grammed for an end strength
of 400.000." The Pentagon in
terpreted the latter wording
to mean Guard units are pro

HARRISON MAPS COURSE Facing reorganization order
ed by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, the U.S.
National Guard must recruit new strength under rigid new
standards. Mai. Gen. William II. Harrison, Jr., (shown here)
president of the National Guard Association of the U.S.,
tells how this can be done. (UPI)
anxiety to gel ap
proval of the stale governors,
the Army announced that
"The ROAD reorganization in
both the Army National
Guard and Army reserve
should be completed prior to
the start of annual field train
ing this summer."
Reduce Bailie Groups
On closer examination, it
is only the paper part of the
reorganization that will be
completed by summer. In
nlllcr WftrHe Pitch Hiwivinti
! will be formed into three
brigades instead of five battle
groups, and will be given a
mission to fight in some part
of the world - either Europe
or Asia in most cases.
The ROAD program calls
for all inl'antrv divisions as-
! signed to Eprope to be mccha-
nzed. This would give each
of them seven battalions of
tracked troop carrier vehicles,
three instead of two tank
battalions, and an increase
from 13, 700 to about 15,000
men in lull war strength.
At present, however, the
I Army is not prepared to go
ahead with mechanization of
the Guard or other reserves,
except perhaps on a limited
scale. The ROAD program in
the active Army w-ill not be
completed until late 1DG4 un
less it receives an infusion of
new money.
Civilians Rate
Except for certain high
priority units, the civilians
admittedly are unlikely to
get new equipment ahead of
the regulars. In addition, re
serves including the Guard
are left out completely in the
Army's plans for airborne di
visions - paratroopers.
Nevertheless, with the in
creasing emphasis placed by
President Kennedy on prepa
rations for conventional war-
fare, the importance of the i
civilians is rising - to the con-1
fusion of those who predicted j
a setback during the call-up i
of 150,000 of them for the
Berlin crisis. I
Despite a year-long scries
of complaints, the Pentagon's
opinion now is that there was
not too much wrong with the
Berlin call-up except that, as
it turned out, the additional
troops weren't needed. Such
deficiencies as were turned up
are to be cured by the higher
standards.
To Train Fillers
In its most recent conces
sion, the Army has allotcd
100.000 spaces to the reserves'
for training "fillers" in sum
mer camps. The bulk of the
individual complaints during '
the Bcr'ut crisis came irom I meinocrsnip, are to De ready
