But sometimes that isn't possible.
You just have to keep on going

quitting-no matter how much you've

ARMY WILL HAVE 5 MILLION TANKS
 ABROAD IN 1914
By Camp Newspaper Service

More than five million Ameri- cans-two-thirds of the U. s. Army will be in service overseas by the end of 1944, Secretary of War Hen ry L. Stimson has announced.
 The Secretary's announcement followed disclosures by the War Department that major changes af- fecting both the officer and enlisted personnel of the Army had been or dered as the result of a re-study of troop requirements for the com ing year. ". " 2
 Under the new plan, U. s. sol diers stationed at home will be carefully reviewed for physically fit, well-trained troops. The best men will be sent overseas and their places at home assumed by civil ians, new recruits, members of the WAC and soldiers who are either too old or not physically equipped to withstand the rigors of combat warfare.
 AS part of this program, the Army plans to place on the inactive list commissioned officers who are over 38 years old and no longer needed for active duty. =..>.-
 Preparing for this huge exodus of U. s. based troops, the Army already had closed many training camps. About 70 AAF establish ments have been relinquished also as the new program will mean a gradual tapering off of the train ing program and concentration on the all-out offensive phase.
 To carry out the overseas plan the War Department has ordered that physically qualified men who have served more than 12 months at fixed stations or overhead activ- ities in the U. s. be reassigned to units destined for service overseas. Enlisted men under 30 will go first, then those over 30 will be reas- signed, in the order of their age, with the youngest first.
 Reassignments to overseas units will not, however, apply to enlisted

On 12 August, 1918, twin sons were born to Mrs. Elizabeth Luddy in Waterbury, Connecticut. They were Peter and James Luddy. After completing their education in their home town, they both entered the business world. Peter was associat- ed with the Gulf Oil Company, in New York City, as an Auditor 1n- spector and James was clerical su- pervisor for the Scovill Manufac- turing Company in Waterbury.
 Peter was inducted into the Ar my on 16 July 191 at Waterbury and received his basic training at Fort Devens, Mass. He was one of an early group of thirteen Devens men to arrive at the old Windsor Locks Army Air Base and is the only distribution clerk that the Base has ever had.
 Sgt. Jim was inducted 2 July 1922 at Waterbury and received his basic training at Fort Mcclellan, Alabama. He was transferred to Camp Edwards where he was a member of the 36th Division that was being trained in Commando tactics. After three and one-half months he was sent to Bradley Field with the 956th Topo Com pany and was later transferred to

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE?

Have you ever debated the ad- visibility of taking out National Service Life Insurance because you felt it might not be sufficiently per manent? "The war won't last for ever" you say, land what then be- comes of my insurance policy?"
 The answer is largely up to you. After your policy has been in eff feet one year, you may convert it from it's original five-year term plan to an ordinary life policy, a 20-payment life policy, or a 3O- payment life policy. The conver- sion must be made before the five year period ends and does not in- volve physical examination. The policy may be converted whether you are in or out of the service at the time. The rates of the new poll icy will be those of your attained age.
 All this adds up to the fact that your National Service Life Insur- ance is in effect permanent pro lection. For you today, it is more advantageous than commercial poi- cies because it contains no war or aviation clauses; with the proper conversion it will equal any policy you can obtain when you become civilian again. In other words, Ma tional Service Life Insurance is valuable. Don't hesitate to take it out, and don't allow it to lapse.

the 18th. Luddy works in the Off, cers and Enlisted Mems Section of S-1.
 Unlike Mike and Ike who looked alike the Luddy twins resemblance is slight. However, as outstanding members of the Battle of Bradley" cast both boys do a fine job in their respective roles. AS "Hugo," S/Sgt. Pete gets plenty of laughs for his comedy-romantic antics while Sgt. Jim brings down the house in the comedy skits in which he appears.
 The twins are known for their athletic ability as both are mem bers of the 29th Base Headquarters and Air Base Squadron's basketball and baseball teams. The Staff Ser geant is an excellent diver and swimmer and the two men form a softball battery that is hard to beat.
 The Luddys have two other bro thers: It. John J., who is in the Quartermaster Corps in Africa and is a recipient of the Purple Heart, and Timothy Aloysius, Special Agent in this country.
 Both the Sergeants are single and make their home in Waterbury, where they reside with their moth CT.

A Uhaplatn' E Uhnughta

Amerlca, the netting pot of our forefathers, has become the great est of all the nations of the world and why? Because it has been a sanctuary for the rights of op- pressed people coming here from all parts of the world-because accu- mutation and cooperation of genius has given us mastery in determin- ing social policies and institutions which are the envy and should be the models for all nations and peoples.
 Other countries and peoples have had their day-the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Greeks, Rome, Spain, France, Eng lanad-and now it is our turn to sell democracy to the world, to tell our story of what can be done when human hatreds receive little or no encouragement, when the national tendency is to rebuke intolerance and discrimination. In America the ideals for which our founding Fathers fought and died are daily becoming better known to Joe American, the curve of hatreds and prejudices in falling, we are prov ing we can learn by the mistakes of other nations; and our democratic way of life, while it is an ever changing ideal, seems to be changing always for the better. AS a result, America is a lang of op- portunity for all. Floods of alien propaganda have failed to divide and weaken us. Suspicion and mistrust fade before the all-out war effort and the growing forces of tolerance and cooperation. A new understanding, a new kindli- ness and a new readiness to work together for the common good are noted everywhere. Boycotts and strikes are losing public support and sympathy and the council table is taking their place.
 However we are long way from our goal-and we are not even sure just what that goal comprises. De- mocracy itself is a nebulous term and our slogan of the last war, to "make safe for democracy" has been broadened today so that we now fight to make the world safe for any man. Johnny Doughboy's pockets jingle with coins that take slogans to the corners of the earth: In God we trust-Liberty. Back up those slogans with action trust in God yourself and be not selfish with true liberty-and the world will accept America as a guide and director in setting up a better and happier world order.

VACATION PETITION
REFUSED BY BOARD
Plume & Atwood Company
Employees Lose Bid for
Extra Work

Union requests for a two-weeks
vacation for employees of the Plume
and Atwood Company were denied
by the regional War Labor Board
in directives issued yesterday while
granting one weeks vacation and
an overall wage increase Of 8 cents
to employees of the Rowbottom
Machine Company.
In the former case the board Sus-
tanned the panel recommendation
ruled previous that the granting Of
a second weeks vacation would be
inconsistent with the prevailing
practice of industry for this area.
Labor members of the board dis
scented in the opinion. The workers
were represented by the Local $40,
G. I. o. Mine, Mill and Shelter
Workers Union.
In the Rowbottom Machine case.
80 workers of the plant, members
of the Local 568, M. M. & S. W..
Union were denied maintenance of
membership and check off clauses
but granted grievance and arbitra-
ton privileges, in addition to the
vacation and wage increase.
Employees with one-year's service
on June l, 1914, will be given a
weeks vacation with pay, accord
ing to the directive. The variation
clause also provides that employees
with three to IL months service
prior to June l shall receive two
per cent Of their total earnings as
vacation pay for that period.

Donald M. Nelson Declares Soviet People to De-

Badly Needed Consumer Goods -
Appreciative of Americas
Aid in War Effort
President

Russia is planning to produce
consumer goods after the war on a
vast scale to raise the living STAN
dards of 10000, 900 people and Of
ferS an excellent source of busi-
ness for America, Donald M. Mel
son, chairman of the War Produc-
ton Board, states in a signed ar
ticle In the current issue of Col
liers Weekly.
Russia is not a competitor of
America, but she can develop into
an excellent source of business for
America" writes Mr.. Nelson in re-
porting on his recent tour of the
Soviet Union. Her present output
of consumer goods is so small, and
her internal needs are so great
that she has no interest in COM
peting in world industrial markets.
The Russian has no desire to
see his country become the arena
of sales battles by rival agents OF
foreign manufacturers. With her
will, her raw materials, the capital

equipment that she hopes to buy
from us, and her eagerness to be
self-Sufficient, she will supply her
own consumer markets.
This war is teaching Russia the
science of mass production. But
she has gone further than merely
to take American mass roduc-
ton formulas. She has done more
than adapt those formulas to her
own mahcineS, to the tempera-
ment of her own markets. I saw
in Russia production lines which
stemmed from original Russian
ideas, some of which we might copy
with profit
Mr.. Nelson says the Russians
abound with sincerity, frankness
and realism, and from Marshal
Joseph Stain down to the most
humble factory worker are ex-
tremeiy appreciative of the aid
in fighting equipment and produc-
ton methods -given them by the
United States. He adds:
BY sending such people, on fair
terms, the machinery with which
to develop, by giving them gladly
and unstintingly of our knowledge
and experience, we shall achieve
friendship and cooperation that
diplomacy alone cannot hope to
realize. Let no one deceive you.
Russia has consecrated herself to
her industrial ambitions. Present.
ly she will realize them without
our help if necessary, but prefer
ably with our help.
From Joseph Stain down
through the list of officials to
whom I talked. there was the
common realization that a steady
rise in living standards is Of para
mount Importance in giving
strength and permanence to the
state that Russia has set up
Mr.. Nelson was deeply impress
ed by the intimate hookup be-
tween the army and the factory
worker" many OF them well-dis-
ciplined boys and girls OF ten,
eleven and twelve years OF age in
whom the Soviet Union "has in
vested her ambitions" for mass
production OF consumer goods.
II am convinced that the Rus
slams can do more than merely
follow in our industrial footsteps"
states the WPB chairman. THE
government and the governed are
united as America does not dream
Of unity; and the Russian worker
Is inspired by much more than his
will to defeat his enemy at war.
The same drive will continue after
