Reserve Forces Act To
Affect Local Manpower
In Industry, Says Baskin
Employees and employers of | for two years and wll be placed
the Clinton area (as well as iriLfim the reserve forces for four
areas of the United States) will
begin to feel the effects of the
Reserve Forces Act in the slim
mer of 1957. Lt. Col. John S. Bas
kin told the-L\ons club Friday
rtight. |
Col. Baskin, coordinator of the
Reserve Forces Act for the South
Carolina Military ^ district, ex
plained provisions of the act,
passed in 1955. and told of the
impact the act would have upon
young men 17 to 18ti years of
age and upon their employers
once they have takep jp6s after
a period of militray service.
Col. Baskin stated the necessity
for the act. saying that at the
outset of wars, beginning ^with
World War I and continuing
through World War II and the
Korean conflict, the United
States was not prepared How
ever. wdth the coming of World
Wars I and II the country, pro
tected by its two oceans, had the
time to prepare, and calling back
to service veterans of WW II for
the Korean war gave a force to
hold the line until an army could 1 jobs for two to six weeks, and
years additional — making 1sifc
years in all. If they desire to fin
ish high school, they will be al
lowed to do so, but they will be
required to undergo weekly drill
and training with a local military
unit and serve six months duty
upon completion of high school
and then be assigned to the re
serves to complete an eight-year
service.
Service with a National Guard
or ROTC unit will be accepted,
but all must undergo specified
periods of summer training.
Young men who continue their
education before gbing into ser
vice will be required to maintain
standards of performance.
Those who fail to meet their
obligations when serving with lo
cal military units will face cer
tain penlaties, Col. Baskin said,
including immediate induction
into the armed forces for a speci
fied period.
Col. Baskin pointed out thpt
the summer training feature
would pull young men from their

The Reservc Forcc? Act will
enable the United States to train
a fighting force and put it in ser
vice immediately upon outbreak
of hostilities in the future. Col.
Baskin said, when there will be
no time to prepare.
“It was not the act the armed
sendees wanted,’’ Baskin said,
“but it was all we could get from
the Congress.” The colonel was
referring to the refusal of Con
gress to enact a Universal Mili
tary Training law.
The act provides for registra
tion of all boys 17 to IS 1 ^. If
they enter service they will serve
