House Committee OKs Ike's Reserve Program
The House Armed Services Committee approved a military reserve expansion plan 29 to 1 despite a race segregation dispute tied to Powell's amendment. The bill aims to grow the reserve from 700,000 to 2.9 million by 1960, with changes to omit National Guard references to avoid segregation issues.
