Churchill urges rapid demobilization of British forces
London October 22 former Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the Commons as Conservative opposition leader urged Britain to speed up demobilization of the armed forces. He proposed occupation forces in Germany and the Low Countries not exceed 409,000 troops, the same for the Mediterranean zone, and a reduced RAF personnel of 400,000 with the navy at prewar strength. He criticized the labor government’s slow demobilization and linked it to ongoing domestic concerns, noting Ernest Bevin’s wartime plan remains largely in use. Also reported is the death of Mrs. J. B. Rounds, 71, wife of Baptist leader J. B. Rounds, in Oklahoma City. She had served as missionary and executive secretary of the Baptist General Convention in Oklahoma.
