We have called up some 150,000 reservists, increased our draft calls and extended the service of many who are in uniform. These are the so-called quick-fix measures which we have invoked to improve the Western tactical position in Berlin and remind the Soviets that the city is not an open invitation to that variety of aggression which has been described as the salami, or one-slice-at-a-time, method...
