Man in Central Pacific Re-
quires 8 Tons, AIeutians
10 Tons Monthly

PEARL HARBOR, May 24.-Reai
Admiral j. j. Gaffney, head of the
Nays Pacific Supply System, de-
clared in an interview the turnover
of the volume of supplies handled
here is seven times greater than in
the area last year"
Gaffney explained the job jumps
by geometrical progression on the
basis of the difficulty that the sup
ply increases with the square dis
lance from the main supply reser-
voir to the theatre of operations. "
Gaffney said the General Pacific
troops require eight tons of supplies
per man per month and in the
Aleutians the supply required has
hoped up to ten tons per man per
month.
