Most men now awaiting dis charges because they failed to meet the physical qualifications for gen. eral service when the limited serv- ice classification was eliminated last August will probably stay in the Army as a result of Circular 293, issued recently. This circular also defines physical standards for men going overseas. Discharges and processing for discharges were t:alted pending the appearance of the new circular.
 Under the new setup, only those enlisted men will be discharged who are physically unable to rem der useful military service in any assignment that can reasonably be made available"
 Enlisted men who, for physical reasons, are incapable of serving In a physically exacting position when they may render adequate service in less exacting assignments will be given appropriate assignments even though they do not fulfill the minimum physical standards for in- duction under MIR 1-9.
 The circular further states that enlisted men will be assigned to the most active type of duty appro- priate to their physically qualified tions with due consideration to their civilian training and expert ence, education, intelligence, apti- tude, leadership ability and acquir- ed military occupational qualifca- tions.
 The use of the term Limited service as applied to enlisted men has been discontinued. However, the circular warns, "discontinuance of the term limited service does not mean that men heretofore )clas- sified as limited service are to be discharged or that the Army will not continue to induct and use men

TO the EdltOr Of the 'Beam
 Upon my return to Bradley Field last Sunday for short conference with your Base Executive, sented copy of the Beam which included article about my assignment and editorial in reference to my work while at Bradley. The high rating that Bradley Field enjoys would not have been possible had it not been for the unselfsh work of the entire sonnel, both soldiers and civilians. We all worked to- gether each respecting the other, realizing without his or her help could not reach goal.
 I would also like the personnel of the Base to know that have received several letters from commanding officers of tactical units expressing their appreciation for the and attention their organizations received while stationed at the Field
 The great need for additional trained personnel will make necessary that Bradley Field continue to make available of her physically fit for transfers seas Therefore, those remaining will be called upon to do their best in order to maintain that high standard of service the reputation of the Field.
 You will receive new Base Commander soon and l know he will receive the loyal support that corded me- In the months to come expect to return Bradley Field often and will consider it privilege to be treated as if I still member of the Base.

Senator Cites Report That
II Million Are Required
Thomos Would Curb Droft Until
Congress More Fully Informed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 Up
- Declaring he had heard that
plans are under way to increase
the armed forces to total OF
100000 men, Senator Thorn
as (D-Okla) called for draft
curtailment today until Congress
is told just how large an army
is needed to win the war.
Thomas, chairman of an ap-
preparations subcommittee hand
ling war department bills, told
reporters he favored delaying
any further large increases in
the size of the army until we
can take an accounting of the
needs"
Il think we ought to have
every pilot and every mechanic
we can get" he decla ed, "but
I doubt that we need to have
many more men in the infantry,
for instance, than we have now"
Thomas said he would raise
this question at a meeting of
Democratic members of the ap-
preparations committee which
acting chairman Mcclellan 3D.
Tenn plans to call soon to dis
cuss policy questions.
The Oklahoman questioned
whether the armed forces could
be built up to 100000 with
out causing seriouS disloca-
ton in all phases of war pro-
duction, including the growing
of food.
President Roosevelt told con-
gress on Jan. 7 that the armed
forces had grown from 2,000,-
900 to 100000 in one year,
adding that despite the with
drawal of 100000 from the
food and factory fronts, the
greatest quantity of food in the
country's history had been pro-
duced.
The drain on farm workers
has caused the greatest concern
in congress and was reported to
have been discussed by a group
of senator's who met yesterday

SON., chief of war departments
legislative and liaison division.
Senator Bankhead (D-Ala, who
has taken an active part in work
ing out compromise agreement
relaxing selective service rules
to provide for greater deferment
of farm workers, gave notice
that he would discuss the whole
manpower question in the sem
ate Thursday.
Mcclellan, meanwhile, intro
duced a bill which would de-
clare specifically that federal
employment was not a ground
for draft deferment. He told
reporters he was satisfied that
older men and women could re-
place many persons of draft age
now working for the govern
ment, adding that his measure
would make some of these in
dispensables' dispensable."

Yanks Aided
in SCATTERING
Berlin Raids
BY LEWIS HAWKINS

AT AN Raj BOMBER BASE
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND,
Jan. 10 - up - Several Amer
leans were among the men who
carried destruction to Berlin in
the renewed battle of bombs be-
tween London and Adolf Hitler's
capital, a visit here disclosed to-
day.
The pilot Of Lancaster bomb
er called IN for nuts" on Satur-
day nights raid was tall, slen-
der, red-mustached flight Ser
geant Terry Goodwin, %, who
left his home in Wyncote, Pa,
two years ago to join the Royal
Canadian Air Force.
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
old Goodwin, Jr., of Wyncote, he
went from William Penn Char
ter school to the University of
Pennsylvania but decided the
rest of his schooling would have
to take a back seat for the war
In Saturday nights raid on
the German capital, IN for
Nuts" reached the objective
within a minute of the estimated
arrival time, sowed hundreds Of
incendiaries over the city, drop
ped a 1000 pound bomb and
rode back home unscathed-still
within minute of schedule.
AVERAGE AGE FL
The average age TO the crew
was just 81 although none of the
men had been in the air force
less than year and half and
all were veterans of five or more
trips.
Our target was the center of
Berlin, just as the Germans
target used to be the center of
London, and we laid our big
bomb right there" Goodwin
said.
mo, we are quite sure we
were not fooled by false build
ings. And dummy fires? They
actually helped us find some
targets because we had been told
to expect them, recognized them
in places where it was said they
would be and used them to check
bearings on the real targets.
1--WE all were sorry we could
Mt go out again Sunday night
blu the kite (airplane) we had is
rather old and needed working
on before it will be ready to 60
again"
Another American RCAF
members on the Saturday raid
was Warrant officer Earl (Tiny)
English of Little Rock, Ark. He
was navigator on a plane. A
truck driver and lumberjack in
civilian life, he has been on 81
raids over Europe.
A British flight lieutenant
who flew Lancaster called IS
for sugar" on both Saturday
and Sunday night raids was
more anxious to discuss Ameri-
can hospitality than the raids.
I'VE couldn't get down at
home and had to land at an
American base" he said. "They
hadn't had a chance to look over
a Lancaster end they were de-
lighted TO have early morning
callers.
They showed us wonderful
time and look: 200 American
cigarettes they gave me"
