Byrnes Letter on Athletes
Mobilization Director Doesn't Understand
How Unfit Men Compete in Hord Comes

The tert OF the letter sent by
War Mobilization Director Burnes
to SelectiDe Service Direction
Hershey requesting repie1p of the
qualifications of professional
athletes for military serpice::
I am seriously concerned that at
this critical period when we are ex-
erting every effort to direct man
power into critical war industries,
we find such a large number of men
between the ages of 18 and 26 en-
gagged in professional athletics of all
types. 1t is difficult for the public
to understand and certainly it is
difficult for me to understand how
these men can be physically unfit
for military service and yet be able
to compete with the greatest ath-
letes of the Nation in games de-
manding physical fitness.
] am advised that in some cases
these professional athletes were no'

Iinducted because of alleged physical
unf1tness. In other cases they were
inducted into the armed services
and thereafter discharged.
In either event they prove to
thousands by their great physical
feats upon the football or baseball
field that they are physically fit and
as able to perform military service
as are the 100000 men in uniform.
I am confident that our efforts
to find the manpower needed for
war production would be greatly
facilitated If serious consideration
were promptly given to recalling
these men into the armed services,
or where they have not heretofore
oeen lnducted. calling them for an
other physical examination.
l would greatly appreciate any
action which you may take to ac-
complish this end.

CHIMAY, Belgium, Sept. 2 De-
layeO Troops of q United States
division, veterans Of Africa and
Sicily, are bivouacking tonight un-
der the black, gold and red flag OF
Belgium, with confused enemy
forces in a tangled retreat on all
sides west of the Forest Of the
Ardennes and the Me,lse River.
I believe they were the first troops
to cross the Belgian border and that
I am the first American correspon-
dent to enter Belgium since its oc-
cupation. The troops Of our divi-
sion crossed the border at II am
today after q 150-mile chase of re-
treating Germans from the neigh
borhood of Paris.
The chase has been hectic for the
last four days. We travelled nearly
40 miles a day trying to make con.
tact with the retreating enemy.
We entered Belgium through th<
little border station of Fore Philips
to receive q restrained but heartfelt
welcome from the populace.
Crossing the frontier was one o1
the greatest thrills Of the war. II
me the little kingdom has alway,
been a second native country.
The advance was rapid, by-passinf
small groups Of enemy resistance
The retreattng Hun was btrnint
farmhouses along the road for purl
vengeance.

Steel Industry Faces
Cut in Shipbui|ding
Early Next Year
BY THE Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 4.-Ship con-
struction apparently will decline
in the initial quarter Of 1945. de-
velopment that would have "a pro-
nounced bearing on various major
steel products" the magazine Steel
|said.
bodybuilding, which has been q
major factor in war demand from
the beginning, is due for a sharp
decline in first quarter" the publi-
cation said. Further substantial
ship contracts may be placed but SO
far as steel requirements are con-
cerned they should be decidedly
less by early next year, it is believed.
"This will have q pronounced
bearing on various major steel pro-
ducts, plates, shapes, bars and
sheets. Any lessening in plate de-
mand (for ships) will affect first
and most Importantly continuous
strip mills now rolling plates at
the expense Of sheets.
Should merchant ship produc-
ton be curtailed as much as now
indicated for first quarter sheet
capacity will be expanded sharply" !"
The magazine observed, however,
that drop in Ship construction
docs not imply that shipyards,
even those producing cargo ships,
will not be busy for some time fur
ther."
National steelworks operations
advanced one and one-half points
to 961a per cent Of capacity last
week, Steel said.
