National Guardsmen to be demobilized by August
President Kennedy announced plans to release more than 145 000 National Guardsmen and Reservists from active duty by August. He stressed units will remain ready should a new crisis arise and attributed the move to a permanent buildup of strength rather than a change in international danger. Next September regular forces total about 2,680,700, showing an overall rise of 200,000 from last June. Kennedy paid tribute to those serving in a year of growing national strength.

The move aims to rollback the hike, deter similar actions in aluminum, and consider stronger government powers over price and wage decisions. Kennedy calls the rise a “ruthless profit grab” and warns of antitrust scrutiny to curb other firms.
