Present Army OfU.S.
 Has 4,25O,O ,OOO Men
ccontinued from Page 1)

i the various ways in which 18 and 19 year old men are especially adapted to military training. For instance, he said they are more responsive to leadership and are not easily fatigued.
 "The simple fact is that they are better soldiers" he said.
 "And never before in history have we so needed exceptional soldiers"
 He said induction of IS and 19- years-olds would be less disruptive to industry and agriculture than the drafting of older men.
 "But the important thing is that youth constitutes the indispensable kinds of men necessary to win this war;" he said.
 He recalled that the original Se- lective Service Act required the registration of 18 and 19-year olds. He said those age groups had been inchded in the registration after a study of history and experience facing critical wars like this"
 "In every major war carried through by the United States, it has been largely carried through by men under 2O," he said.
 When the Selective Service Act was under discussion in 1940, he said the Congress had deemed it prudent" to postpone the induction of 18 and 19-year-old men.
 But I refer to this to show that it is a contingency which we have faced" he said.
 Getting Too Old
 Stimson warned the committee that statistics show our Army is getting too old.''
 'The men that are coming from the induction centers," Stimson said are containing an increasing per- centage of those beyond the age for front line fighting.
 "There is too large percentage of men over 40. Men over 40 ought not go into the kind of fighting the American armies must do now" Stimson said that army officers had handed him figures as he began to testify showing that in March the average age of divisions being activitated was 26 years and two months. In August this average had increased to 28 years and two months.
 That is too high" he said, it means that the division contains a large percentage of men who should not be in battle and who perhaps will have to be relieved on the field by men who have insufficient training"
 It was the intention of the Army to mold a mobile striking force strong enough to play the decisive role in World War II by its offen- sive actions, he declared.
 Stimson said that the Army has been accused of trying to create a mass army" He said this was highly erroneous.
 He told the committee that men were allowed minimum of 12 months training as compared with 24 for the Germans because we think our men train more quickly than the Germans"
 Congress appeared likely to ap- prove by mid-November, at least, the legislation for drafting the 1S and 19-year- for military serv- ice.
 The bill drafted in the House would prohibit the Army from sending men below 20 to the front until they have had 8 year of trainin gand would allow 18-year- olds to finish the school year in which they reached 1S before in- duction.

 Convoy Sighted
 Stockholm, Oct. 14-(UP)-The Swedish telegraph bureau reported from Madrid today than an Allied convoy had been sighted of Dakar. The report asserted that the con- voy was seen between the Cape Verde Islands and the African mainland.
 Unconfirmed rumors, the report said, were circulating that an Allied landing in French West Africa is imminent.
 Axis sources have been circulat- ing reports of an imminent Allied nave against Dakar and French West Africa for several weeks.
 These reports have asserted that large numbers of American troops have been assigned at various points in West Africa preparatory to the alleged move.
 The rumors have been given particular circulation in the Nad- controlled Paris press, presumably for the purpose of bringing pressure on the Vichy regime to allow Ger man forces to be sent to Dakar for its protection"

Hurley Reiterates Ciarge

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 4-CUP)- Gov. Hurley reiterated a charge to- day that former Republican Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin who opposes hi mfor reelection, helped form a company union at the Vought- Sikorsky division of United Aircraft Corp, early this year.
 Eight employees of the company wrote the governor recently that Baldwin had no connection with the formation of the union.
 But in three-page reply today, addressed to Henry Geisner, Gov. Hurley said: T charged Raymond E. Baldwin with helping to organize a company union and on the basis of the facts. must repeat that charge"

McLevy Raps Both

@"@OA~CNJ
 Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 14-UP)- Socialist Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport, candidate for governor, charged today Republican and Democratic candidates instead of attempting the impossible job of de- lending their own party records" are taking advantage" of the war to divert attention from domestic is- sues.
 The people of Connecticut" Me- Levy said in a broadcast, don't need bunch of political cand1- dates to tell them that we are fight ing a war for our very existence and that we are determined to win 1t as quickly as possible. There IS and can be no question as to the patriotism and loyalty of every can- didate.'
 "The best contribution that Con- necticut as a state can make to winning the war is to kick patron age and politicians out of its gov- ernment and to conduct its affairs with rigid economy, divorced of pa- tronage and partisanShip and streamlined for efficient action. You know as well as do that you can- not expect this kind of government from Democrats and Republicans. {"
 Meantime, Col. Joseph P. Nolan, chief Of staff of the Connecticut State Guard, wrote letter to Gov. Hurley denying charges of Raymond E. Baldwin, Republican candidate for governor, that the Guard was politically-appointed.
 Recent charges made against this Guard" said Col Nolan, "dle utterly false"
 Accusations were made" Col. Nolan said, which are entirely without foundation"
