    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.

Eisenhower May Head
Western Europe Army
Washington, Sept. 29 — CP) —
Speculation increased today that
President Truman may appoint
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to
command the projected internation
al army to defend Western Eu
rope.
This talk is based in part on
what Mr. Truman said about Eisen
hower at his news conference yes-
Newcomers Club
Holds First Meet
Approximately 50 members were
present at the first meeting of the
year for the Newcomers Club which
was held in the Assembly Room of
the Memorial Student Center Wed
nesday at 2 p. m.
After a business session was con
cluded the group enjoyed a talk by
Mr. Reese Spence who spoke on
“The Development of the A&M
Physical Plant since 1876”.
Spences’ talk was well illustrated
by charts and numerous pictures.
Mrs. A. D. Folweiler and Mrs.
L. S. O’Bannon were hostesses for
the occasion.
The next meeting of the New
comers Club will bo held October
18 at which time bridge and can
asta will be played. For those who
do not wish to play cards a tour
of the campus will be conducted
under the direction of P. L. Downs,

Survey Shows Need
Of Class Rooms
All classrooms will be used this
year in the A&M Consolidated
Grade School, said Consolidated
Superintendent L e s Richardson.
Richardson has recently been asked
by the school hoard to gather in
formation cbncertring additional
classroom space in order to avoid
overcrowding of students.
All facilities in the three divi
sions of Consolidated will be com-

rooms, Richardson said.
terday and in part on the fact that
Washington officials believe a man
of outstanding reputation and
proved ability should get the su
preme command post.
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.

and General Marshall against Gen
eral Douglas MacArthur,” Cape-

Capehart, campaigning for re-

vocated supporting China’s Nation
