Federalization Plan Emerges From Conference On Army Bill
The army reorganization bill, in Washington, removes federalization of the national guard and a universal training system from Senate proposals. It provides a peacetime regular army of 297,000, retains the national guard, and creates an enlisted reserve corps with 15 days of annual training. The measure raises the assistant secretary of war’s duties and sets up a permanent war council. It retains the general staff on French lines and a separate air service, with detailed officer ceilings and ranks. Enlistments in reserves run three years, veterans one year.
