Tighter Purse
Strings Likely

Washington. Jan. 22--lNS-Seu.
George D Aiehn CRD VI. said toda
that public opinion should assure
Senate approval OF tighter purs
strings to limit the size OF the
armed forces.
Aiken voiced support OF a reso
luton sponsored by Sen. John IL.
Bankhead 90 Ala. for an inyesti
cation by the Appropriations Com
mittee and reappraisal Of the COun
try's manpower. Minority Leader
McNary also expressed approval
for Bankhead's bill
The Senate cannot act too soon
on this matter" Aiken said 81
am sure Congress will do whatever
appears necessary to do TO prOtea;
our food supply and have a voice
in the number Of men taken into
the Army.
The people OF the country are
solidly behind Congress now. \
year ago We didn't have such wild"
spread popular support
Aiken was skcpUcal, however, of
the force such action might ha' g
now in view Of the vast amount vi
money the Administration has on
hand from past appropriations. He
said Congress should not make an
preparations in the future for more
than two years ahead
Principal fear in the minds OF
both Aiken and Bankhead is the fu
ture Of the COuntry's farm labor
supply.
Most OF the boys who are COINS
into the Army or into war industry
are coming from the farm Aiken
said
Those who already are in the
Army cant be released TO go back
TO the farm unless they ask TO-
their own release not many of
them are willing to do this anu
run the risk Of being called yellow
And those who are on the farm
