Congress to OK Ike reserve plan and training draft
Rep Vinson predicted Congress will back Eisenhower’s reserve program to expand the 700,000-man force to 2.9 million by 1960. Senate hearings will begin on the bill as lawmakers break a stalemate, while a party line vote defeated a move on racial integration in the National Guard. The plan includes a new all volunteer training program with service options and potential recall for underperforming reservists.
