Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-06-15

THE title of this editorial is not
J. original with us.
We found it, spread across the
top of two pages, in the current issue
of 1.-The Infantry Journal" which is
published in Washington, D. c., by
the United States Infantry Associa-
ton.
The accompanying article ex-
plains that June Is has been desig-
mated by the association as INFAN-
TRY DAY-a day to honor the men
and officers who form the most nu-
merous branch of the United States
Army-as infantrymen do in all
great armies-and who are doing the
hardest kind of fighting in the great
war, as infantrymen have done IN
virtually all wars.
It is fit and proper that our infan-
try should have "day" at this very
time.
We intend, of course, to win this
tremendous war in which we are
totally and unitedly engaged.
Our infantry alone could not win
the war for us.
BUT ASSUREDLY THE WAR
COULD NOT BE WON WITHOUT
THE INFANTRY.
A ND it is especially fit and proper
n that Infantry Day should fall
now, so soon after our forces of in
vasion have stormed and preached
the Norman bastions of the enemy's
formidable Fortress Europe.
'For many American dough
boys" as THE Infantry Journal
says, "June IS :. Uill be another
tough day of fighting, Without a
chance to make it any other kind of
special occasion.
There may not eUen be, for
these outfits, a little special chou to
mark the day.
Actually, 1T WILL BE THESE
FIGHTING UNITS for Uhon infan-
try day has been set aside as a spe-
cial day, and for tOhom ii lOiH be
celebrated wherever it possibly can
be-"
Many will perhaps recall that
Gen. Eisenhower said not long ago
that in the glamour of war the deeds
and the indispensability of the foot
slogging doughboy" went too little
noticed.
AS to that, we again quote from
"The Infantry Journal
"The doughboy has gone at his
job in this Uor-the biggest and

Less Strict

WASHINGTON, April 4.-tR-
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said
tonight that after selective service
takes men under 26 for combat
it will move in a progressively
less strict" manner to higher age
brackets.
The group from rs to % comes
next.
At the same time, Hershey said,
selective service will laid to the
limit of its ability efforts to in
duct and put to work 4-F's who
refuse to stay in war-important
jobs.
The less fit have a duty to
replace men under 26 in industry
and agriculture and they consti-
tute the greatest manpower pool
for that purpose, the draft direc-
tor said in a speech prepared for
radio delivery on the Columbia net
work.
He summarized the present draft
program as follows:
!. Selective service will furnish
to the Army and Navy every man
under 26 who can possibly be made
available.
2. These will not be enough, and
it will complete the calls from men
in the 26-29 group and then from
the groups 30 and over, and in
this process "the requirements will
be progressively less strict as the
ages increase"
3. In drafting farm workers I'M
der 26 local boards must interpret
the Tydings Agricultural Defer
ment Amendment in the light of
the demands of today" balancing
the need for agricultural products
against the critical demand for
young men for the armed forces,
4. Men physically unfit, or fit
for limited service, will remain in
occupationally deferred classes if
they stay on their jobs, and if
they do not, 'the indications are
that by legislative or administra-
tive action or by both. means will
be found to insure that they do
necessary work"

Specialist at the nearest District
Office of the Office of Defense
Transportation. Through an elabo-
rate system set up for searching
for critically needed parts, the
ODT can usually locate the wanted
part within several days. If the
district office is unable to locate
the part, it will forward the re-
quest to the ODT regional office,
which will, in cooperation with the
War Production Board, take steps
to expedite delivery from the fac.
tory.
However, the ODT points out,
ODT service is strictly an emer-
gency measure and will be made
available only after other attempts
to locate the part have failed. The
service is for essential commercial
vehicles only and not for private
owned passenger automobiles.

Hundreds OfOld Trucks
Lying Idle In Southwest

Hundreds of broken down trucks
and buses are lying idle through
out the Southeast because thei1
owners and many small garage
men have not yet learned how tc
go about getting the critical parts
needed for their repair, the Office
OF Defense Transportation and the

yesterday.
In a joint statement, district Of
fices of the two federal agencies
pointed out that despite war time
scarcities, parts are now available
to keep essential vehicles in op-

farmers, have not yet learned how
to go about getting the needed
parts.

trict M ger in Wilmington,
North Carolina, for the guidance
of garagemen, parts dealers, and
owners of essential vehicles.

be reconditioned OR repaired, con-
tact all local and nearby parts dis
