HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) The Army National "we'll show chip on its open an aggressive recruiting drive in the new year. Informed sources, disclosing this today, said they are confident the Guard can reach its goal of 400,000 men. It now is about 25,000 short. They indicated the effort will be spurred by a desire to disprove Secretary of Defense Robert S.

that it sought to trim Army Guard and Reserve strength by 58,000 men on grounds it was not possible without lowering standards to recruit enough men to maintain the Guard at 400,000 and the Reserve at 300,000. Under his proposal, the Guard would have taken a man cut and the Reserve a man reduction. Congress directed the Defense Department to make every effort to muster the higher strength without sacrificing quality. Since then the Army has boosted its standards for Guard and Reserve recruits, making it even tougher to reach the manpower objective. Knowledgeable officials said Guard recruiting would be helped McNamar's skepticaism can be done.

Army sergent released by Communist guerrillas Christmas Eve has told military authorities he was forced to sign several documents damaging to the United States and South Viet Nam during his captivity. An Army spokesman said Sgt. Roque S. Matagulay of Richmond, who was in Communist captivity for five months, has told interrogators he had signed four statements in November, while suffering from a severe attack of malaria. He said he was subjected to four months of continuous propa- ganda lectures prior to the signing of the documents, the Army spokesman reported.

The spokesman quoted Matagulay as saying: "My illness, scarce medical at; tention and constant verbal harassment culminated In signing the I documents so my captors would leave me alone." Matagulay, 30, said the documents bitterly attacked the pro- West government of President Ngo Dinh Diem and the Ameri- can policy of supporting South I Viet Nam's government. Mata; gualey said he personally does not believe any of the statements he signed. The documents were the "usual Communist propaganda line," he said, requiring only his signature. He later had to read them out to his Communist captors and believed they were recorded. Matagulay said he.

refused to any further documents after he had recovered from malaria. with a quicker reaction capability in a national emergency. The Army also wants to lop off a net of 338 obsolete company and detachment-size Guard units. A parallel Reserve reorganiza tion of roughly the same magni tude already is under way, will March 31 deadline for comple tion. A committee representing the governors has been trying to de cide on when to seek a meeting with McNamara to discuss the Guard reorganization.

Indications point to a meeting in early Jan uary. The Army concept would desig nate six Guard divisions as high priority outfits. They would be built to 8 per cent of full com bat strength and would be given better arms and equipment. Two other Guard divisions would be pegged at 70 per cent of full strength. These are outfits assigned secret special missions under the war plans.

The remaining 15 Guard infantry divisions would be held to 60 per cent of strength. FULTON, Mo. did not think it necessary to consult Mr. Khrushchev On the matter." That was the comment of John Pickets Return To Piers After Taking Holiday NEW YORK returned to the New York waterfront today after a holiday lull in the strike by the International Longshoremen's Association that has hit Texas. parts from Maine to The union's strike headquarters said picket boats would be sent out only if some idle vessel tries to sail.

Incoming vessels were permitted to dock without interference. If the strike by some 60,000 longshoremen lasts long enough now in its fourth day- three million pounds of potatoes aboard a docked Liberian freighter will start to sprout, said a spokesman for the ship's agent. The perishable cargo was in holds of the freighter Glenview, anchored in the Charleston, S.C., harbor. "The South Carolina farmers are anxious to get delivery on the potatoes," the spokesman said, "but the union refused our plea." The Glenview wasn't the only ship affected by the walkout. Scores of vessels lay idle in ports from Searsport, Maine, to Brownsville, Tex.

The longshoremen claimed 100 per cent effectiveness in their strike, which is supported by the National Maritime Union. The key issue in the dispute is the ship owners' demand that longshoremen work gangs be cut from 20 to 17 men. The ILA said it did not want to negotiate its men out of business in the name automation. Bodyguard Among Assassin Plotters TUNIS President Habib Bourguiba said today his own bodyguard was among the plotters who had planned to assassinate him in bed in his white-walled palace near Tunis. The pro-Western Tunisian led- er did not disclose how the plot was uncovered.

Some 400 suspects were rounded up for questioning. A score still are being held. Speaking before the congress of the Tunisian Women's Union in Le Kef, 25 miles from the Alger- an frontier, Bourguiba said: "Thank God the plot failed. I am not afraid of death but after my death the country would be in a state of total anarchy. The plotters thought of eliminating me but not of replacing me." Bourguiba has run this North African nation almost singlehand- edly since the republic wfcs set up after Tunisia gained independence from France in 1956.
