Indicate No Cooperation With Outback
Washington AP Twenty four states have spurned a Pentagon request for suggestions on which Army National Guard units should be disbanded. Of the 26 states which have replied many appear to oppose the planned nationwide cutback of 475 units the Army says it no longer needs. The White House deferred action on a governors committee bid to plead its case before President Kennedy with McNamara in Athens for an NATO meeting. The Army says the cutback plan is its own and not yet approved by McNamara. Kennedy backs realigning military resources in principle. Maj. Gen. Donald W. McGowan urged governors to nominate specific units to be eliminated by May 3 and to assess impacts on their states. Twenty four states had responded.
