WASHINGTON to - President
Eisenhower told the American Le
gion today that creation ol a
mighty military reserve as a bul-
ric against communism will be
" No. 1 item" on his 1954' legisla
tive program.
"We have tailed miserably to
mouuain mat strong, ready mili
tary reserve in which we have be
lieved for 150 years," the Presi
dent declared in a speech prepared
for delivery at the legion's annual
convention.
"Now, at long last, we must
build such a reserve. And we must
maintain it. wishful thinking and
political timidity must no longer
oar a program so absolutely es
sential to our defense."
Then he said:
"Establishment of an adequate
reserve an objective for which
the American Legion and other pa
triotic organizations have vainly
fought for a generation will be
No, 1 item submitted to the Con
gress next year."
In his speech to fellow legion
naires, many of whom served un
der him as supreme commander
In Europe during World War n,
the chief executive promised:
"This reserve will not unfairly
burden men who have already
served. This administration will
see to that."
The President said that for a
century and a half the United
States has prided Itself "on its re
fusal to maintain large standing
military forces. j
"We have relied, Instead, upon
the civilian soldier. But we have
done so without being fair either
to the private citizen or to the se
curity of the nation."
He went into no detail about the
nature of the military reserve he
wants to build. He made no men-

The Daily Exp-ess and the Daily

The Dally Mirror, first to an

tion of the plan for a powerful ie-
ouuinea a lew weeks ago by
John Hannah, the assistant sec
retary of defense in charge of man
power and now returned to the
Presidency of Michigan State
College,
That plan called for every able
bodied young man to put in a mil
itary service stint and then join
the reserve. The White House said
t the time the program Hannah
set forth as a plan to thwart any
Soviet aggression was under con
sideration by the National Security
Council but that no final decision
had been reached on whether to
submit it to Congress in that form.
Eisenhower interrupted his Col
orado vacation for 24 hours to fly
back to Washington to address the
legion. In his address he also gave
France another prod in the hope of
winning ratification of the Europe
an army project by that nation.
Without mentioning that country
by name, he said progress on the
six-nation project "has not fulfilled
our hopes." He also declared that
in the struggle for free world se
curity and peace, "neither the ups
nor downs Justify any slackening
of our efforts."
Dealing with the European situ
ation and collective security gen
erally, he said:
"The safely of any single nation
In the free world depends directly
on the substantial unity of all the
nations In the free world. No nation
outside the Iron Curtain can afford
to be indifferent to the fate of any
other nation devoted to freedom.
"If each, ignoring all others, pur
sues only its own course toward its
own ends, the Communists have
unlimited opportunity to turn the
full force of their power upon any
selected victim. Each, beginning
with the weakest and most exposed
might then succumb in turn, until
the strongest of all ourselves
would be left alone to face a hostile
vorld.
"The final result would be fear
ful to contemplate. We will never
permit it to happen."
He said that because of the
strength and the wealth of the
United States, it has Imposed upon
it a heavy share of the whole bur
den of free world security.
Then, turning to how the United
States measures up to the task, he
painted this bright picture:
"Today the United States has the
most powerful and the most effi
cient fighting force It has ever
maintained short of all-out war.
In fact, in some respects it is the
most powerful ever developed.
"We have an Air Force of grow
ing effectiveness. It has 50 per

said "we have failed miserably" to
maintain a large, powerful re

statement that "clear recognition
of several important truths" is
basic to an analysis of the world
situation.
He listed those truths as:
1. The Communist dictatorship
"ruthless, strong and Insatiable
Is determined to establish Its sway
over all the world." ' .
2. The same dictatorship "is
adroit in Its selection and use oi

Elsenhower spoke of Red sub

said effective steps are being tak
en to crush It. Referring to the sit
uation at home, he said:
"Your government will continue
to wage relentless battle against
subversion and Infiltration ... by
measures realistically adjusted to
ihe nature and the magnitude of
the Red conspiracy. ...
"And of this you may be sure:
As we continue this battle, we
shall not impair the constitutional
safeguards protecting our liberties.
Our nation Is too strong to give
away to hysterical fear which, un
