AF Reserve Officers Still Being Recalled Fort Worth, Sept. 29— (AP)—The Air Force is still recalling reserve officers and men under the 50,000- “ man recall program an nounced some two months ago. This was the information glean ed from guarded statements by Maj. Gen. Charles T. Myers, de puty commanding general of the Continental Air Command today at the Air Reserves Association Convention here. The Continental Air Command, with headquarters at Mitchell Air Force Base, N. Y., is charged with the responsibility of re-calling re servists. “Air Force headquarters in Washington tells us how many men it needs and we call them from our files,” General Myers said. “The recall program is coming along in good shape”, General Myers said. He then indicated that men were still being recalled and would continue to be recalled, adding “for all we know we may be given new quotas.” Delegates today heard represen tatives of two other reservists, or ganizations, Col. Charles Skeele, national president of the Reserve Officers Association, and Maj. William P. McCahill, Executive director, Marine Corps Reserve Officers Association. Colonel Skeele called for a mer ger of the Air Reserve Associa tion with the Reserve Officers Association “in the face of the Korean situation and the proba bility of World War III.” Expansion of the Air Force Reserve training program and more intensive training for M-day readiness were urged by Brig. Gen. J. Lafeton Whitney of Chicago, ARA president at the convention’s opening session. “At a time when the regular service must rely upon reserve com- . ponents for large numbers of trained officers and airmen, it is unthinkable that anyone should suggest any curtailment of reserve training”, Whitney said. * FHA Girls Attend Madisonville Meet Two members of the A&M Con- * solidated chapter of the Future Homemakers of America went to Madisonville yesterday to attend a district meeting, according to principal L.

Eisenhower May Head Western Europe Army Washington, Sept. 29 — CP) — Speculation increased today that President Truman may appoint Gen. Dwight D.

The mere naming of such a man, high officials say, would help to create in non-Communist Europe a new sense of confidence and progress toward real security. Truman Questioned Mr. Truman was asked at the news conference whether he was considering General Eisenhower for some new job, probably in Europe. He replied that Eisenhower is al ways available at the President’s call but that he has not considered him because there is no appoint ment to make yet. The foreign ministers of the 12 North Atlantic treaty nations de cided in New York earlier this week that Allied forces for the defense of Europe should be merg- into a single army under a gen eral staff composed of officers of all the cooperating nations and headed eventually by a supreme commander. Theoretically this commander might come from any one of the Atlantic powers; actually, the Eu ropeans have already told the U.S. they want an American officer to have the job.
