Reserve Bill To Pave Way For Military Cut
Rep. Carl Vinson predicted the Senate House compromise reserve bill will enable reductions in regular armed forces and defense spending. The measure aims to form a 2.9 million man ready reserve by mid 1959 and requires five years total active duty and reserve service. GOP Rep. Dewey Short supported the plan, saying it could end the draft when it expires four years hence. Vinson said the plan could cut standing forces within four to six years if world conditions improve.
