Roosevelt Urges Larger Army for Hawaii and Posts
President Roosevelt is expected to ask Congress to raise the army to at least 100000 men from 60000. Military experts say 60000 is insufficient to guard U S posts and insular possessions including Pearl Harbor where a 2000 man garrison is advised. About 10000 Japanese reside in Hawaii and stronger forces would deter wartime landings and safeguard defenses.
