Army Starts Freeing
2-Year Men in March
Rx the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
Effective next March, all Army
enlisted men with two years service
will be eligible for discharge, the
House Military Affairs heard today.
BY that time, Brig. Gen. Robert
w. Berry testified, enough high
point men will have been released
to allow discharges on length Of
service alone.
Gen. George C. Marshall told
Congress recently the two-year dis
charge plan was contemplated, but
did not set date.
Between now and March, Gen.
Berry said, critical point scores for.
discharge will be reduced progress
sively. At present the figure is 10
points. In November it is to drop to
so points.
Gen. Berry also told the COM
mittee that mot many two-year
veterans will be discharged soon
under recently announced policy
OF releasing surplus personnel.
This new policy is merely a safety
valve escape mechanism to allow
discharge of few men sitting
around doing nothing" he said. "ItI
applies primarily to men attached
to operating posts in this country

Gen. MacArthur's public relations
officer, if one may judge from the
supercensorship he has been inn
posing. especially during this last
heated period beginning with EN-
peror Hirohito's visit to Gen. Mac

Al week ago, when correspondents
were arguing with Gen. Diller when
they attempted to cover the Hiro-
hito-MacArthur meeting, Gen. Dill
Ter replied:
1--WE are getting tough. And we
are going to get tougher. We are
not going to let you give MacAr-
thurs critics in the States any am
munition."
Then Gen. Diller made an astound-
ing declaration.
Furthermore" he said, when we
do lift the censorship, we will still
have control over what you CORES
pondents write about Macarthur.
Don't forget, the Army controls the
food here"

others, correspondents run the risk

That night, according to the cita-
tion, Pvt. Doss risked his life in
going through heavy lines OF fire to

himself shot of morphine when
the pain became too great.
Litter bearers reached him six
hours later. After carrying him so

The Supreme Court refused
today to grant a rehearing on

Point in 1906; a first lieutenant for
four more years.
Was Great Opportunity.
Manila, in 1910, represented a
great opportunity for me. Under
my command were about $500 men,
the vast majority Of them Filipinos
in the American Army. There
were the 45th and 57th Infantry
Regiments, the Oath Field Artillery,
one battalion of the 23d Field Ar
tillery, the 14th Engineers, the 18th
Medical Regiment, the 18th Quar-
termaster Battalion and the 3lst
Infantry-the latter an all-Ameri-
can outfit.
My Filipino soldiers were Philip
pine scouts, fine fighters and
equipped as we'll as our Army was
equipping anybody else at that time.
Many of them were sons of men
who had fought against the United
States in the insurrection, but who
had later been formed into the
scouts. They were tough, hard,
well trained and though there were
only about half as many as the
maximum permitted by United
States law-12OO0-I quickly saw
that I had the nucleus of a good,
proud, intelligent force.
In addition to that force there
were four small regiments of har-
bor defense troops on the four
fortified islands at the entrance to
Manila Bay, and the 26th Cavalry,
which eventually was to fight as
few cavalry units ever fought-and
whose gallant horses flesh was
eventually to sustain life in those
