Senate Starts Vote On Defense Bill, MICHIGAN STATE Reservists Call-Up UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON (UPI)—The Senate began voting Tuesday on a giant East Lansing, Michigan August 17, 1966 1 0 c defense appropriations bill which will be climaxed by an effort to Vol. 59, Number 41 give President Johnson unwanted stand-by authority to call up individual m ilitary reservists for Viet Nam service. The reservist amendment to the $58.2 billion money bill was being backed by two members of the Senate Armed Services Committee —Chairman Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., and Sen. Leverett B. Saltonstall, R-M ass. General debate was expected to run for a day or so before the Com m unist Probe Convenes Senate reaches the showdown stage. Under the Russell-Saltonstall amendment, the President would be empowered to summon for 18-months duty reservists with special skills who have not had prior active service. This could be done without a formal declaration of a national emergency. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara has voiced administra­ tion opposition to the amendment. Under parliamentary rules, the proposal must obtain a two-thirds vote. D espite Injunction, H ecklers The first voting on the defense money measure saw the Senate firm ly reject a move by Sen.
