Senate - House conferees, pre
viously deadlocked over vary
ing provisions ol the bills pass
ed earlier by the two houses,
got together quickly Tuesday on
a bill stronger than either brancfi
had adopted originally.
The House approved the agree

The legally authorized strengths
of the various services puts a
ceiling on how many men could

vy and marines are 239,882 un
der their 666,882 limit, and the
air force is 152.000 shy of its
quota of 502,000. That leaves an
opening to call in 635,882 men
to build up to the over-all au

The series will be held about
