Russell Labels Committee Plan As A Pale Substitute

Senator Richard Russell criticized the House Armed Services Committee plan to authorize presidential call up of about 190 000 reservists as a pale substitute for needs. He noted the bill would place 56 000 nondrilling reservists and 133 000 others in active duty, a move he doubts the President will use. Senate approval last week added a provision for 18 months service from certain reservists, but the House rejected it. The House measure aims to curb draft evasion by reservists, with Rivers saying it refines Russell’s language. Russell said no further reserves discussions until the House acts.
