Lord Montgomery, one of Britain's top military com- manders in the Second World War, says he has_ nothing against the ladies; it's the cost of the army that worries him. His idea is for all the armed services to be composed of bachelors or married men "whose wives and families would be officially unrecog- nized," His proposal put this ques- tion to the defence Ministry: 'Wouldn't such a policy do away with the need for mar- ried quarters, schools, trans- Buy-Union Goods 'BACHELOR - TYPE U.K. ARMY PROPOSED BY MONTGOMER "T hope the women of Eng- | land won't rise up in their | wrath against me.

Marshal Sir Richard | Gale, 70-year-old former com- | mander-in - chief of Britain's Rhine Army and now chair- man of the Army League, says the proposal "com- pletely impractical." 'You would wind up with no army at all very quickly," the retired field marshal tends. A spokesman for the royal air forces association chimed in with: "complete nonsense."' Lt.-Gen, Sir Reginald Den- nis, chairman of the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen's Families | Association, claims "recruit- ing would drop sharply.' Britain has an army of vol- unteers.
