Enlistee Volume Cited As Reason Behind Order
The air force cancels involuntary recalls of about 18 000 reserve air men due to high voluntary enlistments and reen listments. Recall orders for reserve officers remain, while no new officer recalls are issued. The suspension affects voluntary reserve men not in organized units and does not alter active service recalls of air force units. Senate subcommittee investigations into Lackland air base criticize training crowding and hoarding of manpower, but reports found no pneumonia rumors or epidemics.
