IS Million in Uniform
Needed 10 Win War,
Rickenbacker Says
Criticizes Master Minds
Who Destroy American
Incentive to Work
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, March 12-Be-
cause OF the various theaters of war,
the United States will have to put
Is million men into uniform before
victory is achieved by the United
Nations, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker
says
The United States was the only
country among the Allied nations
having plus fighting manpower,
he declared.
ut is going to take Is million
American men in uniform to win
this war Capt. Rickenbacker said
last night at meeting sponsored by
the National Foundation for Educa-
ton in American Citizenship.
Capt. Rickenbacker, returning to
the city where he first won fame
as an automobile race driver, was
applauded by the meeting when he
criticized what he termed master
minds whom he charged with de-
stroying American incentive to work.
He asserted that although a GER
tain amount of centralized control
over industry and agriculture was
necessary, such control should be
given men "st least equal, If not su-
perior in ability and executive
capacity to the industrial leaders
they are to command.
That isn't true today. In too
many instances accomplishment
have been made despite centralized
control, and not because Of It,"
If the incentive to work were the
motivation of industry, he said I'VE
would have twice as many men as
we need to do the job.
isn't 1t ridiculous to tell a man
he must stop when he has worked
given number of hours-but-he
may resume Immediately provided
he gets time and a half for contin-
