Editor's Note: The House Ar med Services Committee will shortly open hearings on the sta tus of the country's military re serve forces. A proposal by the Department of the Army to re duce the strength and eliminate many units of the Army Nation al Guard will be given close study in the committee. The following is the second of three articles reporting on Army pro posals and the present status of the National Guard. WASHINGTON, D. C The House Armed Services Commit tee, which will shortly open hearings here on the nation's military reserve program, will give particular attention to the state of readiness of the various reserve organizations. Attention will center on the Army Nation al Guard, which the Army pro poses to cut in Fiscal Year 1959 from a strength of 400,000 to 360,000. There is considerable Congressional opposition to the planned reduction. What the Committee wants to know is how soon after the out break of a possible future war could reserve organizations be put into combat. Largest of the military reserves is the Nation al Guard which includes both an Army National Guard and an Air National Guard. Both have long been the first line reserve for the Army and the Air Force. Training for the Army Nation al Guard is prescribed and sup ervised by Headquarters, Con tinental Army Command. The various commanders through their staffs conduct training in spections of Guard units during annual field training. Training inspections of the Nebraska Na tional Guard is conducted by Fifth United States Army active Army personnel on duty with the Nebraska National Guard. Last year, 75 per cent of the 5,500 units inspected received ratings of "very satisfactory" or State Water Department Rule Is Barred An opinion on the constitu tionally of the new State water department of water resources probably will not be asked of the attorney general's office. Homer Hamilton assistant at torney general dealing with wa ter matters, said his office does not give opinion on issues to be acted on in courts. Status of the new department might be part of a law suit on whether Norris Rural Public power district can sell electri city to the city of Beatrice, Ha milton out. The question arose when Norrlj asked to amend its charter, which now designates it as a rural power agency. . Consumers Public Power dis trict which filed suit against Norris service in Beatrice, said the Water Department Is not constitutional because of earlier laws pertaining to it were not repealed when the new depart ment, was err, it'll last year.

Nebraska National Guard units rated 18 superior, 25 excellent, 9 very satisfactory and 1 satisfactory. Units receiv ing very satisfactory and satis factory ratings could attribute the ratings primarily to low strength. The mathematical rat ing formulas on inspection re ports precluded awarding higher ratings regardless of the status of units. Guard units hold one trailing session each week and attend 15 days' of field training each sum mer, at an Army post or a state-owned training camp. The Nebraska Army National Guard for the past few years has been conducting summer training at Camp Ripley, Minnesota. The Air National Guard in the past has been conducting sum mer training at Casper, Wyo ming. This year the Air Guard will train at Biloxl. Mississippi. Many Guard units are now train ing on weekends in lieu of the two-hour night training sessions. This allows more training time at no increase in cost and per mits more effective outdoor training.

Mar. 9, 10, 11 and 12. For sheer merriment, the ar tistry of this comedy's stars, June Allyson and David Niven, could hardly be surpassed. As a result, 'M'y Man Godfrey" zips across the screen in color and CinamaScope with the friskiness of a young colt and the unpre dictable antics of an unhibited puppy. Producer Ross Hunter and Di rector Henry Koster used the touch of genius in surrounding Miss Allyson and Niven with a superlative cast of co-stars. Jes sie Royce Landls, Robert Keith, Eva Gabor. Jay Robinson, Jeff Donnell and Martha Hyer give standout performances and to say that this talented gathering proved successful is the under statement of the century. Adv.

The 34th Infantry Divis ion Iowa-Nebraska National Gu ard has just recently participat ed in the latest exercise Big Blast held at Fort Riley, Kansas. The Division was one of the few participating because the Guard was participating in a non-pay status. All of these programs, Guard officials contend, have increas ed the mobilization readiness of 1 the' Army National Guard. Any ; cut in the overall Guard pro- gram of personnel and units, they claim, will write off the country's investment of money ; and of time and effort of the j citizen-soldier at a time when enemy nations still have large field armies. Guard leaders are proudest of j the fact that their organizations assembling and moving to a training site and of conducting efficient field training with on- j ly minimum support from the j Regular Army. No other reserve force, they point out, is capable of this. (Next, 'Where Is The Army's Reserve Program Headed?) tainers and gags for cartoonists. .
