"Our military potential must be
geared to our present day con
ceptions of warfare," he said in
describing the, program as a step
in line with up-to-date military
thinking.
Committee members did not
question Hannah •in any detail
about the proposed program, and
Pentagon officials , declined im
mediate comment.
However, the program appeared
to be , a modification of the Adler
Commission report of Dec. 14,
1953, which .proposed a "lottery"
system to determine who would
get six months training and who
would be required to serve two
years as a draftee.
Under the new program, future
draftees apparently\ would serve
six months on active duty and
then take seven' and one-half years
of compulsory drills and training.
