Wilson told a news conference that, while some details remain to be settled, President Eisenhower will present the plan in his State of the Union message to the new Congress in January.

The current Draft Act, pass- ed in 1951, is due to expire April 30, While. concurring with the other three senators that the selective service law should be extended, Sen. Long (D-La) said he doubts Congress would okay what he de- scribed as a new version of the universal military training pro- gram Congress has turned down several times in recent years. “As one who previously support- ed UMT,” he said, “I think it can’t be done.” Wilson said the manpower pro- gram as now planned calls for a double system of induction through the selective service. Most young men — nearly 300,000 a year at the current rate — would be draft- ed for two years of active duty, then go into the organized reserve. Then, to build up the reserve, an- other 50,000 to 100,000 would be inducted for°a four to six-month basic training period and then auto- matically become members of the ready. reserve, There® would be two major dis- tinctions between the short and longer term draftees: 1, The short-termers would not classify as “veterans,” according to the latest Pentagon thinking, and thus would not qualify for most veterans benefits. 2. The 24-month selectees. would spend less time in the organized | reserves while the short-termers would be on call for emergency | active duty for a year or two| longer. Wilson said the new program was intended to induce men to stay in uniform longer. He spoke in terms of a pay increase amount- ing to from 3 to 5 per cent, costing up to 600 million dollars a year. Pentagon aides said the raise might exclude men who serve only the minimum two years, leaving more money to be given longer | term and career military special- | ists. | Typist Tests ‘Announced At Naval Station Examinations for Indefinite Ap- pointment to the positions of Typist, | GS-1, 2 and 3, have been announc- | |ed by the Board of U.
