Solon Warns Against Further Cuts In Military
Representative Gerald R. Ford Jr. urged against deeper cuts in armed forces until the administration's reserve plan is approved. The debate follows a decision to slash 1956 manpower by 403,000, with the draft call reduced from 20,000 to 11,000 in February. Ford favored voluntary reserve training and criticized compulsory programs as unlikely to pass Congress.
