SERVE COUNTRY
4,z2S,0O6 More to Be
Pressed Into Armed
Forces This Year

washington, Feb. 6--(UPJ-The
Senate Military Affairs committee
revealed today that there are about
6,500,000 persons now In the armed
forces.
The committee was advised by
Manpower Commissioner Paul v.
McNutt that 4,228,906 men and
women will have to be drawn from
civilian life before the end Of the
year to bring total personnel Of all
the services-Army, Navy, Marines
and Coast Guard - to the an
nounced goal Of 100000.
Committee Chairman Robert r.
Reynolds, D., N. c., gave reporters
summary Of McNutt's testimony
showing that the number to be
drawn included 214,570 women vol
unteers for the various women's re-
serves. That, he said, meant -
0i4,327 men will be taken into the
services this year.
Reynolds decried speculation by
some senators that army leaders
plan eventually to build up a 49,
OOO, O0O-lnan army, and said It would
be Impossible for this country to
support q fighting force Of such
magnitude.
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, r.,
Mass, said McNutt was confident
that the army could feed and sup
ply It's planned 100000 men and
still leave enough supplies to fulfill
commitments to other United Ma.
tions and the governments pledge
to aid the peoples Of occupied ma
tons.
Lodge said, however, that achieve
rnent Of such goal will necessitate
deep inroads upon the quantity Of
supplies available for civilians.
McNutt, questioned at length re-
garding the capacity Of the coun-
try to provide food for the enlarged
army and navy and to fill foreign
commitments, said ways will be
found to maintain an adequate diet
for civilians and still keep the gov
ernment's pledges.
Lodge quoted McNutt as saying
that young boys and girls could be
put to work on farms together with
older men and women who are
capable Of doing farm work.
