The first and second Marine Divisions will be brought to full strength, with two Marine Reserve squadrons activated. Plans to bolster Navy air power and four engined bombers to Korea were reported. House committee members said Truman will seek about 9.5 billion dollars for navy planes, in addition to 10.5 billion asked last week for armed forces. The Air Force said B 29s and B 50s are being sent to Korea without specifying quantities or origins. Johnson did not name guard units, but said two regimental combat teams and supporting units would be called up by Sept 1. Defense officials expect public identification after activation notices. National guard has 20 regimental combat teams. a guard division ranges about 18 000 men, a combat team about 5 000. The two Marine Divisions are under strength, with one en route to the Pacific coast. Johnson said the two reserve squadrons will form two wings of nine squadrons each.
