La Luce Would
Set Limit for
Actiue Service

Reporting that many soldiers
are bitter because they are kept
too long in battle, Rep. Clare
Boothe Luce (R-Conn) called
today for a fixed limit on the
time man is required to serve
under fire without relief.
In a statement prepared for
the House on her recent tour OF
war zones, the blond Congress-
woman declared that, for exam
pie, the Saith Division in Italy
has had over 400 actual combat
days. She continued:
There is no overall or fixed
policy which will get the indi-
vidual soldier out of battle when
he shall have reached the limit
of his human endurance which
is almost the limit of his indi-
vidual efficiency
The combat soldier, she said,
too often" comes to feel that
The can't win, that if his divi-
sion fights on a front which will
be bitterly contested for months
his only future is TO be "replac-
ed-which generally means kill
cd or wounded
G A member of the House Mill
tary Committee that visited the
European war zones in Deem
L-r, Mrs. Luce reported we
discovered battle lacks and
shortages, and she blamed the
home front for the battlefront
shortage of whole blood-blood
from 0, or universal type don
ors.
This intolerable and shame
full shortage, like the shortage
of nurses she declared, results
in the wholly unnecessary loss
of our sons lives"
Her one grave" criticism OF
war policy dealt with the lack Of
relief for infantrymen.
The time has come" she
said, for the War Department
TO adopt a policy which will give
the combat soldier a fixed tour
Of duty under battle fire: in
short, the time has come to APP
ply to ground troops the same
policy now in effect in the Air
Corps, Of limited number of
battle missions which any pilot
in given thcater shall be re-
quired to endure, after which ir-
respective of leave, furlough or
rotation, he is relieved of COM
bat duty for a substantial period
of time before he again returns
TO it, y
Any other policy. she added,
tends TO demoralize troops"
She recognized the relief prob
lem as difficult and said the Sc
cretary of War and Chief Of
staff are no doubt doing every
thing in their power now to de-
wise means of relieving individ-
ual soldiers too long wearied by
battle.
Mrs. Luce devoted much of
her speech to a description of
the valor of the American Fifth
Army in Italy, which she de-
scribed as the bittereSt as we'll
as the proudest army in Europe"
Men of the Fifth are bitter,
she said, because many people
at home "eithcr have forgotten
or underestimate the task they
have performed, and that still
remains before them"
She praised the performance
of the British Eighth Army fight
ing with the American Fifth in
Italy.

One of the most dangerous and
thankless jobs in sports is that of a
wrestling referee, as Tiny Bouque
third man in the ring at Turner's
Arena will testify.
Bouque, who scales close to 4OC
pounds, has suffered countless in
juries, including a broken leg. and
has been slugged, thrown from the
ring, kicked and sat upon by two
burly grapplers. In spite ot his bulk
however, Tiny maintains fast pace
The mountainous ref had another
rough evening last night in the w
street hall when he attempted to
keep a match between Gino Carl
baldi and Ivan Vacturoff within the
bounds of sportsmanlike conduct
Garibaldi knocked Tiny down sew
eral times, but the big fellow came
back for more and even managed to
cow the belligerant Gino somewhat
Garibaldi finally won in l9 minutes
with body pass.
Bouque votes for Duke Keomuka
as the best wrestler on Toots
Mondt's circuit. Hes the cleanest
as we'll as the fastest, grappler to
perform here" Tiny says OF the
young merchant mariner. Keomu-
ka battled to a Commute draw last
night with Red Carter.

NEW YORK, April 12-How
long will it take canvasback
duck to fly from his winter home
TO his summer residence in the
North?
There probably will be as many
answers to that question as there
are ducks, but a researcher for
the Remington Arms Co. esti-
mates that a canvasback wings
along at 94 miles an hour when
not prodded to even greater
speed by the presence of a
hunter.
He points out that the exact
speed never has been obtained
and probably never will be, and
says his computations are the
average from the findings of
number of researchers.
The blueWing teal, generally re-
garded as the speediest, cruises
at SO miles an hour, while Canada
geese and brant travel at 48
miles an hour.
Qual, prairie chicken, ruff1ed
grouse and pintail all are Jumped
at Al, while the dove is rated at
"a miles an hour.
TT will not be too surprising
to experienced sportsmen to learn
that, when unmolested, the dove
flies slower than many game
birds. But to others, not so ex-
perienced, he appears to be a
