TROOPS AND SHIPPING
UNITED STATES AHEAD OF SCHEDULE FORCE OF 5,000,000 MEN WILL BE OVERSEAS. BY MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, October 7. The United States will have 5,000,000 men serving overseas by the middle of 1944, states a Senate sub-committee report on shipping. This be six months ahead of the War Department’s schedule and will mean that fighting plans can be advanced and victory v/on more quickly, with less loss of life. Demands that more shipping be Hi allocated to the Pacific theatre of war are deprecated by the sub-committee. To divert ships now from the European zone would, it says, choke off the Allies’ greatest offensive in midstream. The report states that United States war shipping is three million tons above -expectations, but finds that the space is not fully used. If every cubic foot of space were packed, Allied shipping could deliver a decisive blow in Europe this year. Unified control of all military shipping would result in 15 to 25 per cent, savings in space.
