MORE RECRUITS NEEDED

war dogs in the Pacific, the United
States Coast Guard told today how
German Shepherds and Doberman
Pinschers had proved invaluable In
jungle combat operations, and re-
ported that several hundred dogs
were urgently needed for overseas
duty against the Japs.
The increased tempo of the war
IN the Pacific reflected in the ac-
QUESTION of bases less than 400 miles
from Japan, coupled with the fact
that many war dogs already in SER
vice are completing three years
duty and are ready for old-age
retirement" occasions the Coast
Guards new plea to dog owners.
While more than 1900 dogs are
now on duty at strategic installa-
tions within the continental limits,
the Coast Guard said that the new
recruits are all slated for overseas
duty where they are Of inestimable
value In guarding special installa-
tions and on sentry patrols with
front-line troops. Reports from
overseas commanders insist that a
single war dog is often worth
six or seven men In guarding peri
meter against enemy infiltration.
