made these four additional conclusions, on reports froht 'the army, navy, selective service and Veterans administration." Conclusions -The services have reached saturation for neWly inducted men for limited service since the need for men in this category will be -fully met by men already in service who as a result of incidents of the service are no longer fit for general service. It is evident that the urgent need of the services today is for men for general service and that this heed will progressively creaseuntil the war is successfully concluded. It is apparent that these needs can not be met by lowering the physical requirements for admission to the armed forces or by increasing the induction of men for limited service. In view of the needs of the armed services for men qualified for general service, which needs can not be fully met from the pool of men now on hand in class 1 -A plus the annual increment of men coming of military age, it is apparent that the manpower required for the prosecution of the war can not be obtained except by induction of men living with their families and recourse to all other available sources." Others on the commission besides Admiral Mclntire were major General Norman T. Kirk, surgeon general of the army; Dr.

Frank H. Lahey, Lahey Clinic, Boston; Dr. Edward A. Strccker, professor of psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Alan C.

Woods, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. The assistant chief of the army staff, Gil, Maj. Gen. Miller G. White, said there were only 7,482,000 officers and men in the army as of Dec 31,1943, a deficit of 218,000 in total authorized strength of 7,700,000, Part of the deficit he attributed to inductions falling off 211,000, or 31 per cent, of the call for 675,000 in the last four months of 1943, "After the army reaches its authorized strength," he said "there will be a continuing need for from 75,000 to .100,000 men per month to replace losses, and the majority of these men must be qualified for combat service." Careful Assignment He, added the present standards for general service produce a men lower than desirable, situation has been met by attention to personnel assignment "Even so," he continued, "during the from Pearl Harbor to October 31, 1943, 474.000 enlisted men "iwere discharged from the of physical or mental reasons." He pointed out these discharges are largely from combat units and replacements from now on should be of the best possible physical caliber "since they will all be potentially front-line troops." He said not more than 10 per cent of the army's strength can be composed of men who meet only present standards for limited service and there already are more than 500,000 men in this category.

At the height of army expansion inductions for limited pervice ran a high as 20 per cent, but this how down to 5 per cent and it yras recommended that it not be increased, jf Few Limited Asslgnjpente IT? said there was Qf, assignments available for limited service men since many units have completed training and are now moving overseas. At the same time there been a steadily increasing number of men already in the army who through injury or other cause have been rendered unfit for general service. These, he added, are more valuable duty than men fresh from civilian life. The.army, aware of the potential manpower in groups rejected for educational deficiency, he said, has established special training centers where men are taught to read and write up to the average of the fourth grade level. Since last June 75,000 illiterates have been accepted, 58 per cent completing the course and graduating into, basic training, 8 per cent being discharged, and 34 per cent are still in training.

Can't Lower Standards He concluded present physical standards thus could not be lowered in view of the "present large losses from physical defects, the small of! remaining limited SCENE REPEATED MANY TIMES IN TRUK HARBOR Japanese ammunition ship in Truk harbor at instant it was blown to bits by dive-bombing navy plane.

Dublon island is in background. (U. S.

The chief of naval personnel, Rear Admiral Randall Jacobs, reported that since Pearl Harbor, the navy has "progressively been forced to acquiesce in lowered physical standards in order to obtain the numbers of men it requires from the decreasing manpower pool, xxx The peculiar conditions and requirements of naval life at sea will always make it imperative that personnel be of the highest physical qualifications available." Principal Causes General Hershey said the principal causes for rejection of those in 4-F have been mental disease, educational deficiency, syphilis, musculoskeletal conditions and car- dio-vascular defects. They account for half of those now in this class. He said a review of the whole 4-F group would be made, but did not expect more than eight per cent would be found fit genral service. Brig.

Frank T. Hines, veterans administrator, discussing the possible effects of current requirements for admission on claims for post-service benefits, said any lowering of present physical standards could be expected to increase the admission rate to veterans institutions. He expressed concern over the number of discharges from the services for neuropsychiatric disabilities and said it was highly desirable that "potential" cases of this kind be rejected at inductioin stations.

PAYDAY BUY BONDS- Finns Prepare For Possible Development By Edwin Shanke Stockholm The Finnish press continued today to prepare the people for momentous a government decision this, week on whether Finland will get out of the war with Russia. Helsinki meanwhile dug out from under the debris left by the worst bombing of the war whon 600 Russian by Finnish que count, hit the capital. (Today's communique said enemy planes had attacked Outu on the gulf of Bothnia yesterday afternoon and night, causing damage and fires). The touchy question of Russian troops moVlng into Finland still appeared to be the biggest stumbling block to a Finnish-Russian armistice, and the conservative newspaper Uusi Suomi indicated the issue apparently had boiled down to the point of Soviet guarantees of safety for the Finnish people, and assurances they would continue to be free. Failure to get such guarantees would be the only reason no armistice was signed, said this newspaper which generally reflects the government view, thus inferring that territorial and other questions no longer were a problem in the "negotiations.

"We want peace but we want to lead a safe and free life," Uusi Suomi said. "It is only for these reasons that we must fight." Refugees reaching Sweden told of great damage by the week-end bombing of Helsinki, Miss Marian Bonner Undergoes Operation Miss Marian Bonner, fourth grade teacher in the Carroll public school, underwent an operation at the Methodist hospital in Des Moines Saturday morning.

CARROLL Mifff! to hr SO HERE THEJf ARE For the Great American HELLDIVER Urgent and secret was the request to Chrysler Corporation to get ready to build these vital wing sections for the newest, biggest and fastest of Navy dive bombers -i- the great Helldiver. Secretly designed to carry heavy'loads at fast diving speeds, each wing section contained several thousand parts. Engineers, tool designers, production experts of Chrysler Corporation went promptly to work. The drawings were made; tools and fixtures designed and installed for the day when the final "Go Ahead" signal would come. The Go Ahead came in a Since April '43 these great Helldiver wing sections have moved down their guarded production lines much as automobiles did in former years, their thousands of precision parts assembled, and the wing sections completed.

The Helldivers have recently been fully tosted and proven in South Pacific battle; reports of their action fulfill the strong claims made for them; and their, we are proud to say, carry their double bomb loads at fast diving speeds. These Helldiver wing sections are but one of many war-production assignments in which Chrysler Corporation applies its experience, and capacity in precision engi- neering and quantity manufacturing.
