Faced with mounting congressional opposition to a separata UMT program, Forrestal yesterday agreed to accept temporarily a merger proposal advanced by members of the senate armed services eommittea. In a second major strategy switch on defense plans, Forrestal aald In a letter to Chairman Gurney (H-8.D.I: "I believe It will give us a maximum military strength for a minimum of cost."

Lake i people will go on daylight saving The drive fur abandonment of the separate UMT plan broke out at yesterday's closed session of the senate committee. Senator Baldwin fR-Conn.i and others asked: 1. That UMT trainees be taken only for six months Instead of the proposed six months basic training plus six months special training with one of the regular services. 2. That they be trained with other recruits. Including draftees. This, they said, would ia avoid setting up separate camps and barracks costing extra millions, and bi dispense with more than 93.000 officers and men who would be needed as Instructors. 3. That after six months the UMT trainees be allowed to enlist In the national guard or. some other reserve unit. This would enable them to remain at home or in school while completing training. No Agreement Forrestal did not agree to these terms. He said the armed services would supply their own Ideas later. Chairman Gurney said the plan should allow the armed services and active reserve units "to fill their ranks with trained men almost Im mediately." "But I still think we must hare a long range UMT In order to eat down the costs and size' of Large regular forces in the future," Gur ney said. Forrestal's action marked the second revision in the administra tions defense program. Earlier this week he agreed to expand the air force from 55 to 66 groups and boosted manpower ceilings by 61,000 to a 1,795.000 total for the army, navy and air force.

Ice Poses Fish Problem More than 40.000 rainbow trout, seven inches or belter in length, were planted In Lake o' the Woods this past week by the Oregon state fish and game commission. Fishing season opens May 1. but whether or not fishermen will be allowed Into the area on that date was still a matter to be settled j die commission. The point of argu ment lies In the fact that fishing through the Ice is illegal, according to the code book and from 12 to 18 Inches of ice still covers Lake o' the Woods. Jack Outcher. co-owner of the re sort, was advised by the commission that this was a question which never before had confronted that august body and the commissioners would have to mull lt over. It will prob ably affect other mountain lakes which are Ice bound. A decision Is expected early next week, Dutcher said today. He came down from the lake last night and reported the road In poor condition and advised against travel Into the lake area.

The switching hour Is 2 a. m. when conforming clocks will be set forward 60 minutes. Although "fast time" has won new converts this year, widespread observance will be pretty much limited to the heavily-populated northeastern section of the country.

NBC, however, will broadcast on daylight time In the East. The pro grams will be recorded and then re-transmitted from Chicago to stations In the Middle West and West where summer time generally won't be observed. Most of the country will return to standard time September 26. In California and Nevada, however, daylight time is scheduled to con tinue until next January as a power conservation measure.
