when he added, and it is not all
light reading, l assure you"
The interest of servicemen in get
ting back to civilian life was DEM
onstrated by the presence of about
so men in uniform and some WACS
outside of the Library as the legis-
lators arrived.
The meeting had been opened to
reporters, but not to the general
public.
When Majority Leader Barkley
arrived, however, he overheard the
servicemen expressing the desire to
attend. The Senator strobe to the
front of the auditorium and sug-
gested to his colleagues that. since
there was still room in the hall, that
they move to the front seats and let
the service men and women attend.
His suggestion was carried out.
Gen. Marshall was introduced by
the newly nominated Secretary of
War, Robert P. Patterson. Congress
greeted Mr.. Patterson with vigorous
applause.
Mr.. Patterson smiled and said,
Thanks for those kind words"
Demobilization Factors.
Mr.. Patterson said the factors in
volved in rehabilitation were ::
/. Occupation requirements. 2. En-
forcement of surrender terms. 3.
Shrinking the wartime Army to a
peacetime size.
Gen. MacArthur's surprise an
nouncement that as few as 100000
soldiers would be needed to control
japan was brought up by Gen.
Marshall He said that Gen. Mac
Arthur previously had requested II
divisions for the Pacific war, later
reduced this estimate to six divi-
sions, again cutting this to three
divisions and finally informed the
War Department that two Army
divisions plus one Marine division
could occupy Japan and Korea.
Gen. Marshall said the latest
official estimate from Gen. Mac
Arthur was received yesterday and
as a result shipment of the 1st Air
borne Division to the Pacific was
halted.
Background Reviewed.
To give Congress a clear picture
of the rehabilitation problem, Gen
Marshall took the legislators back tc
early spring. when Germany was
still fighting and when Gen. MacAr-
thur was laying his plans to hit
Kyushu, the lower end of the JAP
tanese homeland, by November.
When Germany began to crack
Gen. Marshall said, there were II
divisions in Europe slated to 20 tc
the Pacific at Gen. MacArthur's re-
quest, but they had to be brought
home and refitted first.
If Japan had not given up ano
Gen. Macarthur had missed the No.
vember l date set for invasion, six
months would have been lost before
the next operation against Japan
could be undertaken, Gen. Marshall
asserted.
He revealed that the air base OH
Okinawa was built up from zoe
planes in May to 300 in July, and
1000 In August, with plans to as
Semble 5000 there in October. Tha,
was why the engineers and other
technical groups had to be sent di.

said.
Gen. Marshall pointed out thai

long service under trying jungle
conditions, but attempts to screer
them of high-point men would have
practically immobilized those divis.
