No evidence has been produced or can be, Walsh said, to. back up “the extremely serious, slander ous, and irresponsible charges which have been levelled against the National Guard.” Walsh spoke out in strong terms before a House Armed Forces subcommittee. Chairman Over ton Brooks (D- La.) said Wilson has been invited to appear before the subcommit tee any day this week and “we hope he will avail himself of this invitation.” Program to be Reviewed The subcommittee is taking a look at the Army’s six months re serve training program and the plan to apply it April 1 to all Na tional Guard recruits who have had no military training. Whereas the Pentagon proposes to require six months of active duty for all new ground guards men, the Guard'itself is willing to accept this only for those above 18 years. It suggests 11 weeks training for those 17 to 18& years old—who make up some 65 .per cent of the total. The subcommit tee is expected to offer some kind of compromise. Guard Not Opposed Walsh said the National Guard isn’t opposed to six months of ac tive duty for anybody if such a training program is workable. All commanders, he said, want as much training for their men as possible. But guardsmen are civilians who have to make a living or complete an education, he said, and the tern has to be integrated into their lives. . -S'\6 „ • . - r^ THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.
