W1EsBADEN, Germany. June 13
Delayed)-Gen. Jacob L. Devers
said today that although the Ger
mans had enormous quantities Of q
new type Of poison gas known as
green ring Ill.," there was no evi-
dence to show they ever intended
to use gas as an offensive weapon.
Gen. Devers, who commanded the
9Th Army Group on the western
front, said that If Hitler ever had
seriously contemplated use of gas,
he was restrained by the German
general staff.
Even In Africa we carried thou
sands OF tons of antigas protective
equipment, but I finally stopped the
boys from transporting it to Italy
and told them to concentrate on
H, E.s hfgh explosives) and let the
excess baggage CO." Gen. Devers
said. II told them to get all, the
H. f.. across they could. ThatS the
thing. Poison gas is never decisive,
and h6sGerman general stan knew
1t, even II Hitler didn't"
Missed Two Opportunities.
One chemical warfare expert said
there were two occasions when the
Germans could have used gas with
devastating effect. One was on D
day, when masses Of men were con-
centrated on the Normandy beaches; /;
the other at the Remagen bridge
head across the Rhine, when five
full American infantry divisions
were rrammed into a single small
area.
This was the Germans last juicy
target the expert said. after we
famed out across the Rhine they
neverahad another chance"
There were two scares, the expert
said, which resulted in near panic
among the America troops and
greatly hampered operations.
The first of these" he said, was
July NJ, two days after the st. Lo
break-through. Somebody shouted

Psrenthetcaly, am well aware that the
plural of memorandum is memoranda, but will
be darned IL anybody can make me say It, Me
moranda sounds so silly and affected, 1t Is like
telling dame you are sending her bunch OF
chrysanthema, Or, II you find more than one
mummy in a tomb, to call them NANNY
Anyway, these Navy memorandums are sell
dom questioned, no matter how unusual they may
seem. This is particularly true with regular Navy
officers who take everything about the Navy with
grim seriousness After ALL the Navy is their life
work; they don't want anything TO happen that
might force them TO become civilians.
II there is anything regular Navy officer
does not want to be il is civilian. II il came to
a showdown and he was given any choice. he
would prefer to become werewolf.
The next thing he wants most not 10 be is
member OF the u. S. Naval Reserve To him this
represents all the horrors of civilian existence
without the consong privilege of being able to
wiggle four fingers and thumb at passing ad-
mirals because he never knows when he may be
summoned to serve under of them,
Consequently regular Navy officers were al.
most beside themselves recently when they found
this offical.looking document on their desks
ITO; All regular Navy officers
Subject: transfer TO the y. y. NaVal reserve.
With the surrender OF japan it is highly de-
sirable for all regular Navy officers to look ahead
and examine the relative desirabilities of naval
versus civilian career
Tits realized that little or no concrete infer
nation concerning postwar civilian conditions
can be furnished by the Navy Department, at
least until the Congressional Investigations have
been concluded. However, it is not too early for
all regular Navy officers TO consider seriously
their possibly preearieus positions as naval off
GERS, USN, as contrasted with the offerings OF
civilian life such as:
II. The satisfaction derived from following an
interesting and useful profession.
"2. The pride achieved by living an indepen
dent life
80. Life, liberty and the pursuit OF happiness
Il. The chance TO eat the apple you used TO
polish, -

fcers in most cases will be too close TO receiving

younger officers, however. whose naval expe
rience has given them unique opportunities 10
evaluate the Navy as a career. and who are suf
ficiently removed from the mortmain OF Anna
polls to view life in perspective, should seriously
consider a present transfer to the reserve, and
ultimate entry into life in the great outside.
The Navy Department, OF course, cannot
guarantee that all applications OF properly quail
fled officers. USN, will be considered favorably
by either the Navy Department or the =
civilian body polite.
However the Secretary OF the Navy has di
rected the Navy Department to assure all candf
dates for transfer TO the reserve that, II their
applications are approved and In so far as the
decision may rest in the Navy Department, all
transferred officers, USN will after satisfactory
completion of such sources OF study as are neces-
sary to place them on par with high school and
college graduates, have equal opportunities with
each other and with the present members OF the
reserve tin their own age groups) in such matters
as civilian employment promotion, competition
for civilian housing and bar space and so forth,
"All applications for transfer 10 the reserve

u. ). Chamber Invites
81 Building Trades
To Farley Here Nov. |

The United States Chamber of
Commerce today invited 81 national
trade and professional association
presidents to special meeting here
November l as its president Eric A.
Johnston termed present construc-
ton activity "as low as it was at the
bottom of the depression in 1882"
The attending presidents are to
become members of new con-
struction industry advisory council,
the purpose of which is to develop
suggestions for insuring speedy
and noninflationary recovery of
this important division of business
activity"
over 100000 small construction
firms have gone out of business
since 1941," Mr.. Johnston asserted.
Employment in construction has
dropped from it's 1912 peak of almost
100000 to about 100000. Eighty
per cent of the new construction
labor force has been drained from
the market"
At the same time he expressed
faith that the construction market
will currently develop and reach a
substantial volume by next spring"
The November l conference is
slated to be the first of a series
of meetings of leaders in the con-
struction industry to work out ways
and means of effecting greater sta
bility and usefulness for this large
phase of the Nations business.

@. Will a man who is serving
In the present war as lieutenant
be discharged or retired when the
war ends?-S. r. A.
A. The War Department SAYS
that officers of the Army of the
United States who have been COM
missloned since the declaration of
the national emergency will under
normal circumstances be DISCHARGED
no later than six months after the
termination of the present war.
They may, however, be retired
because of a physical disability in
CURED in service. Officers other than
those of the Regular Army will be
offered commission in the Reserve
Corps upon termination of their
period of service if their service
has been honorable.
@. Are men between the ages of
IS and 40, now in the Army being
assigned to oversee duty?-J. w. V.
A. The War Department says
that the only prohibition aginst
oversee service for an enlisted man
OF our Army so far as age is con-
cerned is that when a soldier is 80
years of age or over he will not be
permitted to serve overseas with
out his written statement that he
will not request discharge until
after having served overseas for a
minimum of u months.
Q. Please distinguish between the
Navy and the Naval Reserve.-W. E.
A. The United States Navy is a
permanent professional naval force.
1t consists of officers and men who
are making a career of naval serv-
ice. The United States Naval Re-
serve is composed of officers and men
who are available for immediate
mobilization in the event of a ma
tional emergency.
@. What is the best way for a
veteran to acquire a farm?-L. K.
A. One of the best ways for a
veteran to acquire farm is to rent
or to buy from present owners in
established communities. Good op-
portunities are also seen in part
time farming combined with a lob
of the farm in areas where indus
trial or other jobs are available. It
might also be advantageous for a
veteran to work for a time as a
hired hand to get the necessary ex-
perlence before assuming the costs
and responsibilities of running e.
farm of his own.
Q. Under the Servicemen's Read
Justment Act may money be bor-
roWed to repay loan secured for
educational purposes by a veteran
before he entered the armed forces?
II. S. M.
A. Under the Servicemen's Read
Justment Act there is no provision
Tor loans for this purpose.
