However, as one Cabinet member brought out, Selective Service provides the six-month training proaram as a legitimate substitute for the two-year draft, and it seemed that no one wanted to consider the six month soldiers as "veterans."

Eisenhower set forth an eight point program, and summoned the country and Congress to rally behind it with sacrifices and un derstanding. Many Democratic leaders promptly lined up with Republicans in expressions of support and praise. The President called for a stepped up missiles program, a shakeup in the Pentagon to halt harmful rivalries, greater eco nomic aid to countries facing "a massive economic offensive" from the Kremlin. And, bypassing Soviet leaders completely, the chief executive appealed directly and dramatical ly to the Russian people to help the world "turn the corner" to ward lasting peace. The chief executjve conceded that "most of us" failed to an ticipate the "psychological impact upon the world of the launching of the first earth satellite" by Russia. He said the consensus is that at the moment America prob ably is "somewhat behind the So viets in some areas of long range ' ballistic missile development." "But 7 he added. "It is my conviction, based on close study of all relevant intelligence. with the best information that the scientists can bring me. that if we make the necessary ef fort, we will have the missiles in the needed quantity and in time, to sustain and strengthen the deterrent power of our in creasingly efficient bombers." His audience of senators and House members gave him a round of applause for that and also when he told them that while the nation has made gratifying prog ress on missiles, "we must still do more." While the oratorical product failed to satisfy everybody that it packed enough punch and power, it evoked a surprisingly friendly reception from Demo cratic chieftains as well as tho expected approbation o:: Repub licans.
