Withdrawal Of Japs
From Liuchow, Once
U. 5. Airbase, Seen
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHUNGK1NG, May 29.-Un-
confirmed reports said today the
japanese were withdrawing from
the former American airbase at
Liuchow, In Kwangsi Province, as
Chinese troops aimed a two
pronged attack at the railroad
junction city.
Veteran Chinese troops, who cap
tured the big inland port of Manning
(Yungning) Saturday in their most
spectacular victory In months.
pushed to the outskirts Of Pinyane.
So miles to the northeast and about
80 miles southwest of Liuchow.
Liuchow also was threatened
from the west. Chinese forces ad-
vanced from captured Hwaiyuan-
chen, crossed north-south stretch
of the Yung River miles west of
Ishan and drove on toward that
japanese strong point, 43 miles west
of LiuchoW.
May Withdraw to Yangtxe.
Meanwhile. there was a growing
opinion In the Chinese capital that
japanese forces. with the exception
OF scattered pockets, might be plan
ming to withdraw at least to north
of the Yangtze and possibly north
of the Yellow River in a general re-
alignment Of their strength in
China. A withdrawal to the near
est point on the Yangtze from Liu-
chow would mean retreat of about
400 miles,.
There was some speculation that
the japanese might try to make the
Yellow River their main defense
line and leave holdout garrisons at
Shanghai and Hong Kong.
! 1t was pointed out that while a
long link had been removed from
the China -Indo- corridor by
the capture of Manning. japanese
forces still had potential avenue
OF escape In the coastal region
stretching from Indo- China to Cam
ton and Hong Kong. but they con-
ceded that this was long and cir
cuitous route.
Believed Fearing Russia.
Some Chungking quarters st-
tributed indications OF a japanese
withdrawal northward to a japanese
fear that Russia might enter the
war.
| Another unconflrmed report said
that japanese forces in the Neither
lands Indies were attempting to
evacuate TO Southeast Asia as part
of general withdrawal toward
Manchuria.
! All observers agreed that the
Japanese, by allowing their China
Indo- China corridor through Nam
ming to be so extensively preached,
had virtually jettisoned their forces
in 1ndo-China. Thailand. Burma
and Malaga.
1t was revealed that China s
American-trained new 9Th Army.
recently flown over the Himalayas
from Burma in an unprecedented
air transport operation, was re-
sponsible for smashing the recent
Japanese offensive against the
United States 14th Air Force base
at Chihkiang, in Human Province
1t was disclosed that troops Of the
new 9Th were spearheading the
Chinese drive along the Chihkian2
highway toward the former Amer
lean base of Shaoyang (Paoching,
some 220 miles northeast of Liuchow.

May Calls on Army
To Discharge All But
Key Men Over IS
BY the Associa ted Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman May of the House
Military Affairs Committee today
called for prompt discharge OF
all soldiers over 35, except for
key personnel.
Now that our principal enemy
has surrendered Internationally
there should be a more drastic re-
duction in the armed forces than
the Army has yet made" Mr.. May
declared In an interview.
The Army last month announced
plans to discharge enlisted men
over a and followed that action
May 81 by lowering the age to 40.
It said at that time a further age
limit reduction was in prospect but
that 1t could not be put into effect
Immediately without jeopardizing
current operations or slowing the
release of combat veterans under
the newly installed point system.
Total Over IA Million.
The group over IS, Mr.. May said
today, should be released as soon
as possible because most of them
have families and business obliga-
tions and are "the most costly to re-
tain in the service because of vast
sums of money being allocated to
dependent wives and children"
The best figures available" Mr..
May asserted, show that between
IA 900 900 and 14,500, 900 men already
have served In the armed forces
during the present war, "and they
are still coming in at the rate of
10000 month"
AS OF April l. he said, approx
mately l2,l00.00O persons were in
AL our services" and an additional
2 100000 to 100000 have been dis
charged, killed or otherwise rem
dered ineffective for military pur-
poses.
Accept Minor Defects.
Our present military position
with'a a single enemy yet to finish.
should at least suggest to our mill
! tary leaders cutbacks in military
manpower in proportion to the cut
backs being made In war produc-
tlon,' Mr.. May said II a real
balanced program is achieved, this
can easily be done"
Meanwhile, draft boards were in
formed that men under Is with
minor physical defects" now face
induction into the Army
National Selective Service an
nounced last night that the War
Department had agreed to accept a
limited number" of younger men
who do not meet the physical
standards for general military sery-
ice.
When Selective Service Director
Lewis B. Hershey announced re-
examination Of all young 4-Fs and
men acceptable only for limited
service on May %, he said he hoped
the Army would lower its stand
ards to accept some of the 300. 900
men previously rejected for full
military service.
For over year. the Army has
accepted no men for limited service.
contending that men returning from
combat could fill the jobs performed
by limited service men.
No announcement was made by
Selective Service OF the number of
men who will be called for military
service under the new policy.
Selective Service said, however.
that the limited service men would
be inducted under separate calls and
would not be part of the monthly
calls for general service men levied
by the Army and Navy.
Conscientious objectors also were
affected by the announcement. Men
under rs classified as 4-E and found
acceptable for military service will
be assigned to work of national i'm
pOrtance."
