CAIRO. Nov. 7.-American flyers
have shot down IS enemy planes
against a loss of six of their own
in the Middle East since October l,
Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton's head
quarters announced tonight.
In addition, the announcement
said, the Americans have seriously
damaged an uncalculated number of
tons of enemy shipping and knocked
out a number of tanks and other
vehicles.
The announcement covered the
period from October to November S.
In the period covered by the re-
port, SO enemy planes were shot
down in air battles, and an equal
number was damaged and probably
destroyed. The rest claimed as posi-
lively destroyed were smashed on
the ground.

order to increase the Army to T.
500,O 900 by the end of 1943, 1t would
be necessary to cali about 200, 1000
selectees a month beginning in
December.
He estimated that $1,000 to 900,-
900 men 18 and 10 would be avail
able for these calls, counting out
those in that age class already en-
listed and those likely to be re-
| jected as unfit. For that reason he
said he believed he could delay
calling married men, except those
inducted in November, until April or
later If the younger men were
made available at once.
| With about 5000 youths reaching
the age of 18 daily, Gen. Hershey
said about 100000 not nov reg
istered would be available during
1943. He estimated that these, with
100000 now available, would pro-
duce between 1900, 900 and 100000
selectees in 1943, when voluntary
enlistments, the physically unfit and
others had been deducted.
He said about 100000 men would
have to be inducted before the end
of 1943 to bring the Army up to the
100000 goal announced by Gen.
George c. Marshall, chief of staff,
the remainder coming from among
the married groups and the presently
deferred classes.
There was some doubt among
legislators, however, that the Army
ever would be increased to 100000
men. If developments arose which
made it unnecessary to muster that
many, the 5000 married men to be
inducted in December might other
wise not have been called at all,
these legislators said.
Restriction Opposed.
The House Military Committee
made public kilograms from nearly
a score of student organizations op-
posing the amendment which would
bar use of 10 and 19 year old selec-
tees in combat abroad until they
have been trained for year. Typi-
cal was a message from the Cornell
University Student Council.
I'VE believe it said, that the
youth of America realizes the ex--
treme gravity of the present situa-
ton and are fully prepared to serve
their country in every manner pos
sible.
American youth knows that their
first job is to win this war. They
want no bottlenecks to be placed
on their duty to their country. They
want no riders attached to their
military service that may hinder
the war effort or jeopardize their
contribution to victory. The Amer
ican youth stands ready to uncondi-
tionally supply the need OF their
country" 2

these workers to finish up your
