An officia! statement from
the office of Major General
Ralph Royce, commanding Of
ficer of the Army Air Forces
Personnel Distribution COM
mand at Louisville, KY, yes
terday explained in detail the
reason for the decision to close
Camp Davis.
According to the announce
ment, principal reasons for
ending operations at the camp
is a sharp reduction in the an
ticipated flow of returnees and
convalescents and what 1.-The
AAF determined a saving to
the American taxpayer.
The official statement fol-
lows:
Camp Davis was assigned
to the Air Forces Personnel
Distribution command at a
time when Air Forces plan
ners were attempting to antici-
pate the flow of wounded men
from the war theaters in Eur
ope and the southwest Pacific.
Germany was potent enemy,
her capacity to inflict maxi
mum injury on the airmen Of
this country was undetermined
even though her excellent air
force had been heavily pound
ed by the American Eighth
and Ninth Air Forces in Eng
land and the Raj. Too, her
vast ground armies were slow
ly being pushed between tie
jaws of the Russian and Amer
ican-British military wise, yet
she had the capacity to stage
the nearly successful Ardennes
bulge push. -t.-. .--..-
Japan too was an unknown
quantity when the Air Forces
acquired Camp Davis. General
Macarthur had island hoped
his way with the cooperation
of the Navy to the Philippines,
yet no vast armadas of planes
had been committed to the
Japanese theater. IT,
Returning pilots, however,
reported that Jap pilots, were
fearless and skillful. Nor were
the experiences of the first year
Of the war a reliable criterion,
Though the number of re-
quired missions had been rails
ed from rs to nearly double
that in the last IL months.
The enemy obviously was GET
ting weaker, but how quickly
and how much weaker was the
question.
"This was the military situa-
ton when the decision was
made to use Camp Davis.
Since war is not an exact
science such as mathematics
and because there are too
many variables that change
estimates of the needs as to
personnel and equipment, the
AAF had to make an estimate
or estimated flow of how many
bed would be needed. Also it

Davis Closed To Save
Money For Taxpayers

made an estimate of men re-
turning, not as patients, but
rather as returnees on rotation
status through Personnel Dis
tribution Command redistr1bu-
ton stations.
s"The reason, therefore, that
Camp Davis will close short
Iy, hardly before it was well
started on its new mission, IS
because He Air Forces, in
stead Of providing too little
too late,' had rather figured
a little more than enough and
ahead of time. Then victory
in Europe finally arrived, the
Germans were beaten and the
patient and redistribution flow
from Europe became a known
quantity. Thanks to American
equipment, training and pro-
duction, the price Of victory
in Europe had cost less than
anticipated in American air
men wounded-both physically
and mentally.
"The struggle against ia
pan is now on in earnest.
Based on reasonable expecta-
lions and with the war against
Germany as a yardstick, AAF
medical planners feel that
Camp Davis, one Of the larg-
est installations to be added to
the Personnel Distribution
Command, can safely be re-
leased to benefit the Ameri-
can taxpayer.
"By closing the camp now
the Air Forces will save in
excess of a million dollars Of
authorized construction.
MANY of the returnees who
have been housed in tn redis-
tribution station section of the
camp will now be directed to
other such stations of the Per-
sonnet Distribution Command.
Convalescent patients will be
sent for treatment to one of
the commands IL convalescent
hospitals located throughout
the country.
Further curtailment and
consolidation of facilities will
continue to be made as favsr-
able progress is made in the
war against Japan"

Scripture: Genesis. Chapters 1915
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
Two stories, of Abraham stand
out from the crude and primitive
times in which he lived, revealing
such a high conception Of human
motives and action that they speak
to our own times clearly. The pro-
blem of world peace and security
might be said to be that of catching
up with Abraham.
The first story is of the strife
between the men of Abraham and
those of his kinsman, Lot over
pastures and watering places. That
Abraham was no coward or appeas-
er was shown plainly little later,
but he was man of great unset
fishness, willing to sacrifice his own
interests if peace could be main
tanned. In this spirit he said to
Lot as they looked over the land,
''You take the left and will go to
the right: or you 60 to the right
and I will go to the left Let there
be no strife between me and thee
and between my herdmen and thy
herdmen; for we be brethren"
Lot might have been a brother
but he didn't reciprocate Abra-
hams spirit of brotherhood. When
he saw that the plain of the Jordon
was we'll watered everywhere, he
chose what he thought was the bet
ter and more luscious country. Like
all blindly selfish men, who think
only of their own profit, he made
bad choice and that Abraham S
unselfishness and love of peace
were not impulses of the moment,
but expressions OF his settled cha
racter, was soon displayed in the
second episode, when Lot got into
trouble.
"Lot pitched his tent toward So
DOM" without for moment think
ing of the trouble he was getting
into when he cast in his lot with
that wicked city. The trouble be-
gan some. time before the threat
of destruction and Lot S flight from
the city. In war in which a num-
Der of kings were involved, the
King of Sodon was defeated, and
Lot was carried off captive, and
all his goods were seized.
When word was brought to Abra-
ham, he armed his trained ser
wants to the number of over 800,
pursued the kings who had gone
off with the captives and the loot;
and partly by courageous daring,
partly by strategy, attacking by
night defeated and pursued them,
recapturing not only Lot, but all
the people they had carried off
from Sodom, and all the goods. The
man of peace could be a terrific
fighter if he was forced to fight
just as men ct peace have been
the most terrible and efficient fight
ers of today.
Then happened a great and Won
derful thing, full of meaning for a
world seeking peace To-Day. Inc
King of Sodom was grateful. He
said to Abraham. Give me the
persons and take the goods to thy
self" But Abraham refused to ac-
cept only what his warriors had
eaten or spent in their campaign.
What world this might be if
every individual and every nation
concerned with the establishment
of peace on earth were to say, both
in words and in effect: II want
nothing for myself; I care only
that all may get their just rights,
and that what is best for all may
be attained"
1t is selfishness on the part Of
individuals and nations that is most
likely to defeat plans for peace.
That is why the world needs to
catch up with Abraham.

PROSPECTS FOR l945 CONSUMERS

PROSPECTS FOR le45 CONSUMERS
 The number of tires being man. ufa ctured for civilian use during the first part of 1945 has had to be cut down drosti cal1y. General Els enhoWer calls tires his "No.l shortage item" so that means that tires must be made to last as long IS pos sib1e by civilians.
 The supply of food for 1945 re- mains about the same, but shortages continue in meats, dairy products, sugar and some processed foods. There seems to be ample supplies of eggs, grain end cereal products. The canned fl sh supply wi II be de- creased, but hopes are that fresh and frozen ish; will be more plent- iful. Sugar Is scarcer. Cocoa is still scarce. Citrus frui ts will be scarce due to the damage the fruit crops suffered in hurri cane. Game fruit va Il be hard to get, but fruit juices will be moro plentiful
 Luxuri os are expected to be very severely curtai1ed. There hos,::been- much 6i s syro ceful waste of valuable manpower and materials in luxury-... service trades and goods. The .-.--. gover nment has put ban on horse racing, and there is demand that ms nuf ctnrers Of non-e sential
