Included in the .1,275 units slated for elimination are 15 Ariy National Guard divisions which are now at about half strength and the last four brigades of the Army Reserve. The 46th Infantry of the National Guard in Michigan will be eliminated. The rest of the units being dis- continued in the shakeup starting late this summer are company- size .elements, As expected, the announcement s p a rk e d immediate criticism among some Congress members. Special Meeting The Reserve Officers Association said the national executive com- mittee will hold a special meeting tomorrow to study the plan. Mean- while Maj. Gen. Horace D. Hlan- son Jr. of Birmingham, Ala., na- tional president, said the associa- tion was withholding comment. In addition to announcing the reorganization, Pentagon officials: 0 Repeated that "we have no intention or plan at this time to call up any Reserves," either units or individuals. " Disclosed that they are con- sidering a change in policy under which draftees who have com- pleted two years of active service may not be assigned to Reserve units for the remaining four years of their military obligations. How- ever, they would be subject to summer training assignments. " Acknowledged that they have finally given up their effort to merge the National Guard and the Reserves into a single backup structure for the regular forces. Congress blocked this plan two years ago. 'Improvement' The reorganization, the third in six years, was described as aimed at' bringing about a significant improvement in the "early deploy- ment capability and combat read- iness" of the Army's Reserve forces. The net effect will be to produce eight National Guard combat divi- sions and 18 guard brigades with a deployment readiness goal of eight weeks from call-up. Secretary of the Army Stanley R. Resor said one major objective is to locate units geographically "and in relation to population so that the burden of mobilization will be shared equitably among the because it is less harmful than alcohol. Administrative Position The committee also studied the position of the MSU administra- tion on student use of marijuana last month. Sink said the group concluded that the university is only interested in student safety and does not keep files of mari- juana-users.{ *John A. Fuzak, MSU vice-presi- dent for student affairs, indicated that students would not be sus-I pended from school for using mar- ijuana, except in exceptional cases. He said the police would only be brought into cases involving addic- tion or student saftety. The University has no stand- ard procedure for handling use of the drug by students. University Regent Eugene B. Power and University Microfilms1 Inc. were reported, late in 1965. Power resigned in March 1966, after the attorney-general ruled' that he had had a "substantial conflict of interest." Following Power's resignation, Kelley asked the State Legislature to clarify the state constitution on conflict of interest. Kelley musta now state an opinion on a new law passed last summer. WSU Board of Governors Chair- man Norman O. Stockmeyer, who investigated his own possible con- flict of interest last fall and stated that he felt none existed, said he was "sick about Hall's resigna- tion." Stockmeyer is president of the Wayne Bank and the Livonia Bank. t rouice iviu HOUSTON, Tex. {P)-Five Texas Southern University students were indicted yesterday on charges of murdering a rookie policeman int a May 16-17 riot on the campus of the predominantly Negro school.
