Shortly after announcement of the conference committee's action, McNamara called a news conference for today. In it he may reveal whether he will kick, run or hold off until next year on another drive to merge Army reserve units Into the National Guard. McNamara doesn't have a reputation for giving up easily.

The bill not -only establishes minimum average strengths 380,.

000 for the Guard and 270,000 for the Army reserves it prohibits transfer of funds to carry out a realignment without "the approval by the Congress, through the enactment of law." A few weeks ago, a House Armed Services subcommittee under Representative Hebert, La. turned down McNamara's request for legislation to help implement the merger as it was then planned. But Hebert left the door open for later discussions of some other plan. Defense officials turned in another direction with another, less drastic proposal. Easier Language They asked the Senate-House appropriations conference to ease the Senate language banning a merger and accept softer House language.

The officials "said they wanted to develop three superhigh priority divisions, six brigades rand supporting units from the reserve components the reserves and the Guard and put them under the Guard to be ready if they were needed in Vietnam. But even though Hebert and Representative Rivers D.t S.O, Mouse Armed Services Committee chairman, helped argue the Pentagon's case for more "flexible" language, the conference committee refused. Wilh Congress heading toward adjournment, whatever realignment plans the Pentagon may propose probably would have to wait until January.
