Mitscher Believes
japanese Lack Fuel
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher
believes a shortage of some critical
item-possibly fuel-explains the
lack OF Japanese air opposition to
the Navy's current operations
around Japan.
Admiral Mitscher, recently named
deputy chief Of naval operations for
air, said yesterday he did not agree
with the opinion that the japanese
are boarding their air power for a
final all-out attack.
"I believe they are short of some
thing they need very badly" Ad-
miral Mitscher said. What 1t is, !
don't know. 1t may be gasoline, but
we won't know until we go in and
find out"
The admiral was brought in from
the Pacific where he commanded
the fast carriers of Task Force So In
similar strikes at the enemy.
Vice Admiral Aubrey Fitch, whom
Admiral Mitscher succeeds here, tolo
the same news conference that 1t is
his conviction the Japanese simply
started too late"
He said he believes the enemy
originally had implicit faith in theil
outer defenses and shot the works
there" and now are confronted with
the job of extemporizing defenses
in the homeland.
Admiral Fitch said he expected to
assume his new assignment al
superintendent of the Naval Acad-
emy on August Is. AS the first
naval air man to head the Academy
Admiral Fitch said he expects tt
carry out Secretary Forrestal's ex-
pressed hope that all midshipmer
in the future will be indoctrinatee
for air

-Four Pilots Fly
| Again Despite
| Loss of Limbs
" the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TAMPA, Fla, July 21.-The three
airmen lay in walter Reed Hospital
in Washington. Each had lost leg
in action.
Gen. Henry H. Arnold visited the
hospital. He asked if there was any
thing he could do for them.
Yes, sir" they told the Army Air
Forces chief in unison, Let us fly
again"
And today, along with another
veteran who lost an arm, they are
flying again at Drew Field.
They are Capt. Kenneth c. Jewell
Of Cumberland, Md; 1t. Joseph M
Harmon of Boston and 1t. w. R.
Kraham of Cooperstown, N. Y.
The airman with the missing arm
is 1t. Leuben G.. Bork of Bowler
Wis.
They are observation instructors
at Drew.
1t happened this way:
Some months after the request
they met the general again at Bilt-
more AAF Hospital near Coral
Gables. They talked to him and he
issued an order restoring them to
flying status.

his resignation under the formula,
he will have to wait for q period
not exceeding 30 days for his relief
to be trained.
Where an officer has such unique
qualifications that it does not ap-
pear possible to furnish reasonably
suitable relief, and where his. COM
manding officer can establish con-
dition of military necessity as dis
tinguished from convenience, his
case will be reviewed and finally de-
cided by the Navy Department.
The Navy said the purpose of the
new policy would be to increase the
overall efficiency of the fighting
forces by releasing Older men and
men not fully qualified for general
duty, thereby permitting the Navy
through the draft and enlistments-
to increase the number of younger
men qualified to meet the future
need of the feet.

Navy Discharge Plan
May Release $4,000
|Bv December |
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

An estimated $4,000 older naval
officers and enlisted men may be
released by December If the point
release plan now under consid-
Grafton by the Navy is adopted.
The Navy officially announced
last night that 1t is considering a
computed service age formula for
use in determining the eligibility
for release to inactive duty or sep
aration from the Navy of older per-
sonnel whose services are no longer
required"
The proposed plan was disclosed
exclusively in The Star yesterday.
If approved, the Navy said, the
plan would release by December ap-
proximately 10000 commissioned
and warrant line officers; 600 COM
missioned and warrant officers of
the Supply Corps; 1000 commits
stoned and warrant officers of the
Civil Engineer Corps and $4,000
enlisted men.
Other Branches Study Plan.
While it was not officially an
nounced, a Navy spokesman said
the Marine Corps and Coast Guard
are considering similar plans to dis
charge older men with long periods
of service.
The Navy's formula will go into
effect, this spokesman said, as soon
as the measure is signed-which
is expected in few days.
Unlike the Army's point demobili-
zation plan, it was explained, no
deadline has been set for counting a
mans score. Officers and enlisted
men will be able to earn their dis
charge simply by continuing in the
service.
WAVES will be eligible under the
formula but few are expected to
qualify because of age requirements
at the time they enlisted.
Formula Under Consideration.
Under the proposed formula, the
service age Of officers and enlisted
personnel would be computed by
allowing one year for each year of
age figured to the nearest birthday
and one year for each four months
Of active duty in the Navy since
September 1, 1899.
The minimum service age for dis
charge, release or resignation OF
reserve line officers, enlisted reserv-
lists, Navy inductees and enlisted
regulars serving during the war un-
der expired enlistments would be So
Reserve officers of the Supply Corps
would require SIS points and reserve
officers of the Civil Engineer Corps
would require 81 points.
The Navy explained that higher
discharge minimum was established
for the two latter groups since there
are fewer officers of the Supply and
Civil Engineer Corps than of the
line whose services can be spared
Reserve officers Of the Medical
Dental and Chaplain Corps are not
eligible under the formula because
of existing shortages of personnel in
these corps, the Navy said, but If
the personnel shortages are over
come, the formula also will be ap-
piled to them.
The minimums for discharge for
the other groups are subject to fu-
ture change "in the light of ex-
perience," the Navy said.
The formula also would not apply
Evening star., 1945-07-21

to officers of the regular Navy lex
cept temporary officers whose per-
manent status was that of enlisted
men serving under expired enlist
ments); to'enliSted personnel of the
regular Navy Except those serving
under expired enlistments); to re-
tired enlisted personnel on active
duty or to fleet reseryiStS.
The Navy emphasized that the
formula for discharging a limited
group of men was "in no way de-
mobilization measure" since the per-
sonnel strength of the Navy will not
be reduced below the authorized
maximum of 1889 900, which was
reached on June 80, 1945.
Not a Demobilization Measure.
Because it is not a demobiliza-
tion measure" the Navy added, 1T
gives no weight to certain factors,
such as Dependency and combat
service, which might be part of a
rehabilitation formula"
Dependent children, com b a t
awards and overseas service are all
counted in the Army's point dis
charge arrangement.
The Navy said the formula was
designed to permit the return to
civil life of men whose services can
best be dispensed with"
THE formula takes into consid-
Grafton only the two basic elements,
age and length of service, because
additional considerations such as
length of service outside the coun-
try or in combat areas cannot be
applied without making eligible for
release personnel whom the Navy
cannot afford to lose at the persent
time without diminishing opera
tional efficiency" the Navy said.
Service Needs Come First.
while fairness to the individual
was considered basic requirement
to be met insofar as possible in
drawing up the formula" the Navy
added, 'the needs of the naval serv-
ice were and will remain the prime
consideration"
The Navy cited the following
cases where officers eligible for re-
lease may be held at least tenn
porarily in the service:
Where it is impossible to furnish
a fully trained relief for an officer
who applies for release or submits

People Of Guam Mark
First Anniversary Of
Islands S Recapfure
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GUAM, July 21.-The people of
Guam today celebrated the first an
niversary of the American return to
this island which has been con-
verted into what Admiral Chester
w. Nimitz in radio speech termed
"one Of the most powerful bases in
the world"
The admiral's address, broadcast
over a local radio station, was the
only official observance of that day
year ago when soldiers and Ma
rines landed and took back what
the Japanese seized from a handful
of Leathernecks 80 months before.
Express Gratitude.
In towns and villages, natives
marked Liberation day with music,
dancing and speeches, rejecting
their gratitude for being released
from the shackles of the Japanese.
There were masses, too, in the
ClluICll WIllCll cSCdkcu lllc IdVdkcS
of war or in temporary places of
worship.
Admiral Nimitz declared he had
intense pride" in the achievements
on Guam-for the millions of man
hours of labor in building the har-
Dor, airf1elds, roads and other facili-
ties for a major feet and air bases.
Cites Series of Victories.
"1he story of the reconqueSt of
Guam begins with the smashing
victory of American arms over the
Japanese, who one year and one day
ago were present on this island some
1900 strong" Admiral Nimitz said
After organized resistance had
been broken. another series of vic
tories began. We won victory over
weather. We defeated swamps and
jungles. We began the long-range
offensive against disease.
"Seabees and Army engineers
licked every construction problem
that came their way. You all know
the result.
To-day Guam is one of the power
houses providing the energy for the
final drive against Japan"

Chinese Beat Down
Jap CounterbIows
BY the Associated Press.


CHUNGKING, July 21.-Chi-
nese forces closing in on Kweilin
from three sides have beaten
down Japanese counterattacks
on the outer perimeter of enemy
defenses before the former
United States 14th Air Force
base city, the Chinese high
command announced today.
All the Japanese counterblows
were totally frustrated" the
Chinese announcement said.
Chinese columns in Kwangsi
Province continued to move in or
Kweilin from the southwest, north
west and south. Kweilin is 80 miles
northeast of recently recaptured
Liuchow.
Considerable casualties were in
f1icted on Japanese forces in Fukien
Province, miles south of the
coastal highway town of Yinsiao
65 miles northeast of Swatow
Chinese troops attacked enemy
groups which since June 13 have
been trying to fight their way from
Annoy to Swatow, lis miles to the
southeast.
The high command said that the
Japanese counterattacks around
Kweilin yesterday were mounted
from points such as Paishou, Is
miles to the west; lining, IL miles to
the northwest and Chiehsou, on the
Hunan-Kwangsi Railroad, Al miles
to the northeast.
The implied recapture of Chieh-
sou by the Japanese indicated that
they had broken the road block
which the Chinese had established
at that point and which for time
cut the escape route of Japanese
troops from Kwangsi to Human
Province. However. while the route
appeared to be reopened, the prox-
unity of Chinese forces indicated
that it would be, at best, a precari-
OILS line of withdrawal

the expansion of social security reached
a new high with the publication by the
Physicians Forum of a l6-page pamph-
let, "For the Peoples Health" it was
announced by Dr. Ernest P. Boas,
chairman Of the Forum
A two-coor pamphlet attractively IL
lustrated by Crocket Johnson, the ere
ator of Barnaby, For the Peoples
Health tells the facts about the health
needs Of the American people. The
pamphlet outlines the plan for Federal
Health Insurance set forth in the Wag-
ner-Murray-Dingell Bill and shows how
it will provide for extension OF the
present Social Security Law to include
payment of doctors and hospital bills
and for construction of hospitals where
they are lacking The Wagner Muir
ray-Dingell Bill has received almost
unanimous support from all sections Of
labor.
The Physicians Forum, Inc, $40 Madi-
son Avenue, New York p, N. Y, is a
national organization of doctors which
is concerned with the quality of medi
cal care in this country and with the
widest possible distribution of the high
est quality of medical care. After care
fu study, the Forum has decided that
the best method for the practical at
tainment of these ideals for the Ameri-
can people is a national system OF pre-
paid health insurance. Membership in
the Forum is open to members in good
standing of the American Medical AS
sociation and OF the National Medical
Association and to physicians in the
armed services
For the Peoples Health was pre-
pared for the Physicians Forum by
Pamphlet Press, a division OF Reynal
and Hitchcock, Inc The first edition
Of the pamphlet is $4,000 According
to Dr. Boas, many organizations have
ordered reprints and others are nego-
tiating for reprint rights, and the total
number Of copies published eventually
is expected to reach a million. Copies
Of the pamphlet have been mailed by
the Physicians Forum to every member
of the United States Senate and the
House of Representatives as well as to
thousands Of organizations which have
indicated interest in the bill.
