Number Of Divisions
Doubled in 3 Months,
Gen. McNair Says
Head of Ground Forces
Observes Moneuvers of
Kueger's Third Army

By the Associated Press.
HEADQUARTERS THIRD ARMY,
LOUISIANA. Sept. Lit. Gen
Lesley j. McNair, commander of the
Army ground forces, declared here
today that the number of divisions
In existence or being formed is more
than duoble the total at the be-
ginning of the year.
Further, this rate of expansion can
be maintained without letup, he
said, as there are now in full op-
Grafton all the agencies required to
produce both equipment and trained
units.
Observes War Maneuvers.
Gen. McNair, who commands all
ground forces within the continental
United States, revealed this and
other facts regarding the Army's
development while observing the
ground-air coordination phase of
the combat maneuvers of Lit. Gen.
Walter Krueger's Sd Army.
Not only Is the Army expanding
rapidly in size, Gen. McNair said,
but the range of training facilities
is constantly being enlarged to
meet the demands of the global
conflict. American soldiers now are
being schooled in every type of war;
fare, from jungle to icy waters.
This years maneuvers show
marked improvement in training
over those of 1941, Gen. McNair
said, particularly in the develop
ment of unit leaders.
Officer Supply Gaining.
Army leadership is further being
constantly strengthened, Gen. Nc
Nair said, by the thousands of able
young officers being graduated from
the numerous service schools. These
schools graduated more than 5000
officers last month, he said, and will
turn out $4,000 in the next three
months.
"We cannot cope with the veteran
Axis armies with second-rate stuff"
Gen. McNair said. THE enemy is
tough and we have got to be tougher
to defeat him. There are very en-
couraging signs of progress in that
direction in our Army"

Peace CongeniaI 10 Europe
Held Only Enduring One

Pointing out that disintegration
of Europe is the main cause of
world insecurity, DR.. Jan Hostile,
former legal adviser to the Belgian
Foreign Office, told the Institute of
World Organization at American
University yesterday that no peace
which is not congenial to Europe is
likely to endure after the war.
Recovery and maintenance of
prosperity is ESSENTIAL to the welfare
of extra-European nations, he said.
THE major issue that confronts
the peacemakers in Europe is ma
tionality," DR.. Hostile continued.
"The diversity of languages is the
main cause of disintegration in
Europe. A peace congenial to Eur
ope requires federal solutions in
matters of security and welfare
that would counteract the centrifu-
gal forces of nationality while per-
mitting boundaries to follow as
closely as possible the limits be-
tween nationalities."

Full Record of States II Congressman
On Preparedness and Vital War Issues
How They Stood
on Issues Before
Pearl Harbor
BY FRANK NORRIS

Here is the record of Michi-
gan congressman on the major
domestic and foreign issues be-
fore and after Pearl Harbor.
1t is important TO every voter,
for never has a congressional
election been as important as
that of 1912.
Through the nominations at
the September primary. and the
ultimate decision in November,
Michigan voters will select repre-
sentatives who should reflect the
sentiment of this state in the
perilous days TO come.
All II congressman are seek
ing reelection.
The record shows almost 100
per. cent opposition TO President
RoAeeVeh'S recommendations by
the II Republicans in the House
of Representatives, while only
Congressman John d. Dingell,
of Detroit, and John LeSinski,
of Dearborn, followed the adj
miniStration pattern quite faith
fully among the six Democrats.
Even they opposed the govern
ment on the issue OF selective
service, and not a Michigan vote
was cast for this measure.
Most of these domestic battles
were fought prior TO the Decla-
ration of War. Since Pearl
Harbor. Congress is more closely
united, and party lines have
been dwarfed by the necessity
of conquering an enemy and
liberating the world.
Above is the step-hy-Step
record of social change within
our boundaries-and of the
congressional decisions ON those
mighty war issues during the
twilight of neutrality.
