. mid-October, the legislative
, calendar is bulging with un
finished business. I would say
frankly that the war in Viet
i nam is uppermost in the mind
of Members of Congress.
This serious conflict in South
est Asia demands concern and
I legislative attention.
Over the past several
months, as the draft calls
have run higher and higher,
questions of the availabili
ty of manpower for our
Armed Forces have con
fronted the leaders of the
country. One of the loose and
dangling threads in this ques
tion has been the status of
the Army and Air Force Re
servists and National Guards
men. The House of Represen
tatives considered legislation
last week to gain some partial
answers to questions about
the future status of the sev
eral hundred thousand men
who belong to some of the
reserve or National Guard un
-1 its.
For at least four years, the
House Armed Servics Com
mittee has been studying the
status of the reserves and
there has been a running con
flict between the Congress
and the Pentagon, which ap
parently wishes to downgrade
the roll of the reservist and
the National Guardsmen. In
the legislation passed last

ThanAay, Sept. B>, IMS, Cooleemee, N. C.) Joorart
week, it was the intention of
the House of Representative*
that the reserves be strength
ened and not weakened. In
ahort, the bill would provide
for the following: 1) the es
tablishment of the permanent
position of an Assistant Sec
retary of Defense for Reserve
Affairs. Under our system of
civilian dominance in military
matters, it would be his re
sponsibility for the manage
ment and administration of
the reserve forces structure;
2) the requirement by law
that organized units of the
active reserve be provided
the equipment necessary to
conduct their training func
tions and to meet their mobi
ization requirements; 3) the
establishment by law of a
floor of minimum strength of
the active reserve units so as
to insure the availability of
sufficient manpower in the
event of mobilization.
Another section of the bill
would establish Federal em
ployee status for the technici
ans who are employed on a
full time basis by the National
Guard. These technicians are
paid by the Federal govern
ment and this measure would
simply make them eligible for
the same retirement and oth
er benefits as other Federal
Employees receive.
One section of the bill drew
nationwide publicity and at
tention. The section gives the
President authority to call in
to active duty some 133,000
individuals who have not been
trained for the minimum of
four months and are attached
to some reserve unit. In ad
dition, authority is given to
the President so he may call
up some 60,000 men who have
been trained but are not at
tached to an active reserve
unit. The question, of course,
is why is this action neces
sary?
Simply stated, under the
present circumstances, the
President, as the Armed For
ces' Commander-in-Chief, must
depend upon increased call
up of draftees rather than Re
servists. The Draft System with
its problems and inequities
was discussed at some length
in the debate. It is my hope
that the Congress will give
further consideration to pos
sible changes in the Selec
tive Service Law. But, pend
ing this decision, it is clear
ly the responsibility cf the
Congress to provide alterna
tive ways to m-et our man
power requirements. ,
Another question of man
power came before the House
last week. Although not as
dramatic and
ducing as the bill I just dis
cussed, the problem it deals
with is no less serious. I am
referring to the amendments
to the Manpower Develop
ment Training Act which I
have strongly supported over
the years. This has been one
of the most successful prog
ram yet devised to help peo
ple in need of job and voca
tional training become self,
supporting. The Manpower
Development Training Prog
ram deserves, and I am glad
to say, has received wide
spread support from mem
bers of both parties. This
present bill attempts to up
date ond improve this basic
program, and will enable it
to serve an even more useful
role in the country's con
tinuing effort to provide the
skills so that our manpower
will be equal to the task
of meeting the challenge of
advancing 'technology. 1

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS
"September is a deadline
month for many older citizens
in this area." There are
still some people in this area
who have not yet paid their
medical insurance premium.
"Those who get monthly so
cial security benefits have the
premium taken from their
checks; this does not apply
to them." But others must
pay direct. If not paid by
September 30, the medical in
surance coverage will be lost.
It will be October 1967 before
it can be taken out again.
Everyone who is behind in
his premium payment has
been sent a notice and urged
to remember the September
30 deadline. Payments should
be made by check or money
order and mailed as soon as
possible. The social security
office will also accept pay
ments in cash, but the dis
trict manager urged benefi
ciaries not to send cash by
mail. He also said that each
