Reconciliation— Legion, Army. Nearer Accord * On Training

By JIM G. LUCAS WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.~-Recon= ciliation ‘of conflicting war on ment and American Legion plans for universal military training seems likely today following a conference between Secretary of War Robert P, Patterson and Col. Paul H. Griffith,

i Legion's new _ national come ander,

The war department has set a sixe

“ lmronths basic pain period as its

goal. The Legion at its ational convens= tion in San Francisco called for » four-months basic training period, Both agreed on six alternatives with - which the trainee would complete his year. > The Legion's chief said ‘he was confident “we will be able to work out a plan on which we can both agree. From the viewpoint of all

_|supporters of military training _s

unified program is desirable.” - ” ; COL. GRIFFITH said he and Col, John Thomas Taylor, the Legion's legislative representative, merely paid ‘social calls on Secretary Pate and = Gen. Eisenhower, However, war department sources sald universal military training was discussed in the hour-long meeting hut that “no understanding was reached.” These sources said this was not unnaturgl and is not regarded by Mr, Patterson .as a stumbling block since Col, Griffith was given “what amounts to- a mandate” by the Legion convention to fight for their plan until a Sompromise is feasible,

¥ |

AT THE MOMENT, the Legion hopes the war department will agree to a four-month minimum, and the war department is waiting for the Legion to accept six months. Secretary Patterson told the San Francisco convention that six months is the minimum below which the army cduld not go. He insisted that anything less than that would be a waste of the taxpayers’ money, which could better be spent on other phases of national defense, Legion leaders argue that they joriginally supported a full year of {basic training, but believe now that | tour months is all that congress {will approve, They argue it is wiser to take four months as an opening | wedge and plan to add on to it at a later date.

~ n ~ BOTH FACTIONS agree that the {trainee, after his basic training, would be permitted to: ONE: Continue his training for {a full year, | TWO: Enter the national guard, THREE: Enlist in the regular |army for a period of two years with [credit for his training,
