serious drop in WAC recruiting and

be puzzling Army and WAC Off
cials who revealed that all hope

in August, 400.

their ranks may be seriously de-
pleted by September /, when the
corps formally joins the United
States Army.
Current Withdrawals have been
reported unoificially TO be be-
tween 16 and 80 per cent OF the
present corps strength. Well-in-
formed quarters regard the re en-
listment figure as being far beio"
the anticipated number.
Meanwhile, Army circles have e1-
pressed doubt that the corps Will
ever reach its full quota OF l5c, 900
personnel. Col. Oyeta Culp Hobby.
WAC director. has been quoted as
saying that the 10000 figure set for
the first year was too high, and
should have been revised in the

OIdOfficers
tobeRetired

Washington. Aug. 20-INS-Con-
gressional investigation OF the
Army's decision to retire average
officers was forecast today as an
increasing number of protests
reached leaders in military matters.
While Congress has repeatedly
backed both Army and Navy in
their efforts to speed promotion
the present policy of retiring ex-
perienced officers while the armed
forces are being built toward the
goal of 100000 may be reversed.
The Army has ordered retirement
of officers reaching the statutory
age by September /. while 1000
officers who were called from re-
tirrment at the beginning OF the
war are slated to be relieved of &C
tive duty.
Some Of Americas best known
generals and colonels-with service
Of 40 years-will be relieved of
non-combat posts under the pro-
gram.
No congressional quarrel is ex-
pected with the general Army rule
limiting combat duty to officers 50
and under. Congress at the COM
mencement OF the war upheld the
policy of Gen. George c. Marshall.
chief of staff, to promote younger
officers.
The Army decision was said to be
dictated partly by a reported low
ering of morale among officers in
the field because Of slowness Of pro-
motion. Statistical studies. how
ever. have indicated that the aver.
age time for promotion from cap
tain to major, and major to lieutel-
ant.colonel. is 10 months. while pro-
motion from Northumberland to
colonel is Is months.

Serious Food Shortage in

Charging that farm labor is still be.
ing drafted for military service,
chairman Fulmer Cd s. c., OF the
House Agriculture Committee today
predicted serious" food shortage
for the nation this winter and a
resultant curtailment OF supplies
for the United Nations and occu-
pied countries.
At the same time, he announced
that he planned conferences with
Chairman Andrew J. May CD KY,
OF the House Military Affairs Com
mittee on a bill TO order harvest
season furloughs for farm labor al
ready drafted. Fulmer is proposing
that it be incorporated in a meas
ure which May is sponsoring TO
block the draft of farmers.
Il predicted last year that we
would have a tremendous food
shortage by the end of this year
unless the drafting OF farmers was
stopped Fulmer asserted
Il pleaded with the military auth
critics for better policy on farm
labor at that time. lnasmuch as
nothing has been done to remedy
the situation. and since they are
still drafting farmers, stand on my
original prediction.
Rottinp on Ground
There are going to be tons and
tons OF farm products which will
not be harvested this year unless
there is a last-minute change in
policy. Already thousands of bush
els OF vegetables are rotting on
the ground.
III there is no quick action, not
only will this nation face a food
