Army Still Needs Fifty Thousand a Month
The War Department stated that the Army requires 50 000 new men each month for the present, regardless of Japan’s occupation status. September draft calls will total 63 000. 50 000 for the Army and 13 000 for the Navy. Rep. Shafer urged ending inductions of 18 and 19 year olds and releasing long-serving troops, arguing a two year service discharge basis is unfair. The occupational force need could be met by about 2.6 million men.
