U.S. SERVICE STRENGTH
PLANNING FOR HUGE FORCES (Ree. 11 a.m.) NEW YORK, Augu. 28. The ‘ Wall Street Journal’s ’ Washington correspondent says the projected army and navy combat strength in 1944 exceeds the estimated number of men 18 to 45 physically fit to fight; hence Mr Stimson’s decision to enlist older men. The proposed army and navy strength, wh/ch is necessarily secret, has been boosted higher than any figure yet published. The United States replaces Russia as the anti-Axis recruiting station. Job and dependency departments will disappear. By 1944 fitness will |be almost the only test. The order of induction is; Firstly, the remaining single men; secondly, married men with no children; thirdly, married men with one child. Within each group war workers will be called last.
