Discharge Processing
In Navy Will Take
III Hours or Less

The Navy today began clearing its
decks for postwar curtailment with
announcement of reduction of
5000 in selectee requirements next
month, 40-hour week for its ord
nance making employees and can
collation. of contracts totaling ST.
SOC, 900 900.
At the same time it gave a de-
scription of the process by which the
men and women eligible for dis
charge will be demobilized. The
Navy figured it will take u hours or
less to get men back into civilian
clothes once they reach the separa-
ton centers.
In addition to taking final phys
ical examinations and getting their
pay, the men and women will attend
three meetings at the separation
centers-one to tell them about the
separation procedures, another to
inform them In detail about their
rights as veterans and the third to
present them with their discharge
certificates "and to give them an
appropriate message of appreciation
from a grateful Nation"
Private Interviews.
Each man and woman will be
given private interview to dis
cuss his plans for returning to
civilian life, the Navy said.
The Navy promised that Its ef-
forts at civilian readjustment OF its
discharged service personnel will not
come to an end at the separation
center. About a month after each
man or woman Is discharged dis
trict civil readjustment officer will
send out a letter asking the veteran
whether any new problems have
arisen and inviting the veteran to
take the problems to the nearest
civil readjustment Office.
The Navy emphasized that both
officers and enlisted men will &c
through the same separation pro-
cedures and will get the same as
sistance from the civil readjust-
ment offices.
The Navy, which now has a total
of 3,389,000 men and women, will
need only 10000 selectees in Sep
tember instead of the 1900 it had
scheduled for induction, Vice Ad-
miral Randall Jacobs. chief of the
Bureau of Personnel, said. The
Marines, which has grown to a force
Of 100000, will require only 5000
instead of the 5000 previously con.
templated.
Seeks to End Volunteer Curb.
Further curtailment and addi-
tional releases of these now in serv-
ice depend on future commitments
and the success of voluntary re-
cruiting of 100000 men, he said
The Navy is seeking to set aside
the prohibition against volunteers
between the ages of Is and 38.
Secretary Forrestal directed that
civilian workers employed on naval
ordnance contracts both in private
industry and in Navy-owned plants
start a 40-hour, five-day week by
the middle of next month. Only
one shift will be employed at these
plants. This order affects only en-
ployes outside Of Washington. where
the 44-hour week became effective
yesterday.
Cancellation of 1900 contracts for
naval ordnance. including anlmu-
milton, guns and turrets, totaling
ST 500 900, 900, also was announced.
However, 600 additional contracts,
ammounting to s1,lo0,O 1000, 900, will
be continued. Five hundred other
contracts are being reviewed for
possible curtailment.
