ARMY STRENGTH
TO BE SLASHED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-R-
Effective Army strength planned
fer next July took another $780,
Oo0-man drop today to 1,6S0.000.
The 100000 under the services
program, actually will be still in
uniform. But they will be in the
discharge pipeline, on the way out.
The information came out at the
first news conference held by
Robert P. Patterson since he took
the oath as Secretary of War sue
ceeding Henry L. Stimson.
Patterson, while saying the army
must press forward full speed
with the job of getting men out OF
the service, told newsmen also:
''In this period of transition we
must make sure that the victory
that has been won-won by the eff.
fort of all the people and at the
cost of a million casualties-does
not slip from our grasp.
1--WE do not want any risk Of
World War III. We must not shirk
the task of enforcing the surrend'
er of Germany and Japan, includ'
| ing the occupation Of the hostile
areas allotted to US as our share
of the responsibility, for as long
time as may prove to be neces'
sary."
He said 100000 men wi llbe
discharged by Christmas but ad'
ded that the return of 1000, 900 te
civil life by the end Of next june
assumes continuation Of the flow
of replacements through Selec.
tive Service.
The Secretary called continue
ton Of the draft "sinmle justice"
arguing that if it should be aban'
doned it would mtan longer serv'
ice for men who already have seer
| hard duty, for the benefit OF meI
who have not served at all.
The cut in planned effective
strength came out when Patterson
was asked if the force of 1850, 0Ot
referred to in a White House state
ment Tuesday included men al
ready tagged for discharge bu'
not yet released.
Mai. Gen. A. D. Surles. Chief o.
Army Public Relations, replied fol
him that the number did include
men in the discharge pipeline.
