Reorganization Army Problems To Next Congress
Washington J 16 The house military committee reached a near agreement in conference with Baker and General March to postpone the war department reorganization bill until the next session. A rider on the army appropriation would continue the existing War organization for one year. The plan envisions a regular army of 500000 by voluntary enlistment with six branches under civilian control, a shift viewed as a military policy change. The panel, seeking six remaining weeks in session, favored keeping peace-time flexibility and avoiding universal military obligation. March opposed poison gas, arguing it harms civilians and should not be used even in war.
