President to urge modest army cuts while San Antonio camps stay
President Harding is expected to recommend modest reductions in the U.S. army, but oppose radical cuts that would force withdrawals from camps including San Antonio. Assistant War Secretary Wainwright and Maj. Gen. Harbord say San Antonio units, especially at Camp Travis, likely remain untouched. Enlistments rise gradually and the army plans to grow several hundred monthly until strength returns to authorized levels. The House committee weighs the terms of the proposal amid high level Washington involvement.
