Congressienal leaders yesterday expressed doubt that President Eisenhower's new compromise universal military training proposal would attract the desired 100,000 volunteers yearly.
Some felt the plan would not contain enough appeal to youngsters needed as volunteers. While there are no provisions in the program for complete universal training, military experts agreed that it is a step in that direction.
Under the plan the prevailing draft conditions would be continued for men 18 1/2 through 25. Boys aged 17 and 18 could volunteer, train for eight months, and then go into the reserves subject to continued reserve training, and to call for active duty in emergencies.
Some Congressmen agreed that the plan offered a solution to the need for trained men in the reserves who have not seen any real military duty.
