of the office of War Mobilization,
said the exact size of the induc-
ton calls ahead cannot be calcu-
lated at this time.
Release of men with long and
hard service, he said, will require
hiaher level OF calls because Of
the desire to spread the burden
of military service among the
largest possible proportion Of the
population.
He said that almost every sol
der in this country, except those
who have already been overseas
or who are physically disqualified,
already is earmarked for foreign
service.
At the present time, Wilson'S re-
port continued. about 1,400,o 900 are
in training to 60 overseas. How
ever, ''only part of the needs car

was give him a shave.
