The Third army, after having
sent reconnaissance patrols across

Navy Secretary Forrestal report
ed and in principle the Navy agrees
with the Army's individual rating
scheme, but "a final and precise
blue print is not expected to be
drawn until the defeat of Japan
is at hand'
The requirements for the w r
against Japan have been fixed with
considerable exactness, but the
size of the occupation army to be
required in Europe is still a wide
open guess.
1t is certain to be considerably
larger than the force of something
over 100000 men which comprised
American army Of occupation in
Germany in 1919. And is expect
ed to stay in Europe longer than
the few months that Army remain
ed. (The "Army of Occupation"
ceased to exist in July, 1919, but
the American forces in Ger
many" total of only $500 men,
remained there three years.)
OF the factors entering into prob.
able American requirements + r
occupation troops in Europe the
most compelling will be conditions
with Germany. If there is a formal
surrender, with order reasonably
well maintained inside Germany, it
is predicted the problem will be
relatively simple. If there is, how
ever, merely a progressive disin
tegration of German resistance
with sporadic guerilla type oper-
atoms continuing for months, the
occupation force is expected to be
much larger.
Also factor in figuring the size
of the American occupation force is
the relative scarcity of Allied
troops to share the job. At the end
of the world war British n d
French forces outnumbered III G
Americans in the occupied zones.
This time, however, no such French
army exists as the great world
war force.

Retail grocers are being urged by the War Food Administration to ex. eTcise the utmost care to avoid damage in the opening and handl. ing of new containers so these rec eeptaeles can he salyaged for reuse.
 According to Harry P. Hughes. ofIlee of distribution, i03 Grand street, expected heavy crops this year plus the reduced amount of materials alloeated for the manu- faeture of containers make it iul- peFatlye that all types of containers be used over and over again.
 'The ultimate fate of . new con" talneT is in the hands of the re" taller who emptles it," Mir. Hughes said. We are appealing to the re- taller to help relieve the heavy waTtiEse demand on the euftailed upply by handling containers care" fully and turning them back Into the trade channels which sill carry them to the producer for reuse.
 "Our object is to increase the number of round trips made by each eontaineT from primary user to re. taller, to used eontainer dealer and back to the producer again" MT. Hughes said.
 Mir. Hughes also emphasized that the tops Of containers as well as tlae containers themselves should Dc saivaged.
