Army eyes all volunteer force after successful recruiting drive
The department plans a renewed intensified campaign to turn postwar army service into an all volunteer force. Improved pay and benefits, reduced caste barriers, and strong backing from the American Legion, the Elks, and the Kiwanis helped the earlier drive. If recruitment remains strong, conscription could be avoided and veterans like a former major may retire wealthy after ten years in service.

Notes of a Not-So-Innocent Bystander in New York
A trim collage of theatrical gossip and media notes from New York. The column frets about theatre openings and critics, cites Arthur Rodzinski’s 25th anniversary as a conductor, hints at Martha Stewart and Mussolini's son appearances, and lampoons radio and book news with satirical asides. It also surveys U.N. diplomacy, press trends, and cultural railing, naming Hoagy Carmichael, Henry Morgan, and Churchill in brisk vignettes.
