Plan for Battle ReIie'
Asked by Mrs. Luce;
Reports Yanks Bitter
Overseas Men Want
Rototion After Long
Service, She Declares
BY the Associated Press.


Reporting that many soldiers
are bitter because they are kept
too long in battle, Representa-
tive Clare Boothe Luce, Repub-
lican, of Connecticut today called
for a fixed limit on the time a
man is required to serve under
fire without relief.
In statement prepared for the
House on her recent tour of war
zones, the blond member of Con-
gress declared that, for example
the 34th Division in italy has had
over 400 actual combat days. She
continued:
There is no overall or fixed policy
which will get the individual SOL
dier out of battle when he shall
have reached the limit of his human
endurance, which is almost the limit
of his individual efficiency"
Feels He Can't VIM
The combat soldier, she said, ''too
often comes to feel that "he can't
win" that if his division fights on a
front which will be bitterly con-
tested for months his only future is
to be "replaced-which generally
means killed or wounded"
One of the members of the House
Military Affairs Committee who
visited the European war zones in
December. Mrs. Luce reported I'VE
discovered battle lacks and short
ages" and she blamed the home
front for "the battlefront shortage
of whole blood-blood from 90" or
universal type donors"
This intolerable and shameful
shortage, like the shortage of
nurses" she declared, results in the
wholly unnecessary loss of our sons
lives"
Her one grave" criticism of war
policy dealt with the lact of relief
for infantrymen.
The time has come" she said,
"for the War Department to adopt
a policy which will give the combat
soldier a fixed tour of duty under
battle fire; in short, the time has
come to apply to ground troops
the same policy now in effect in
the Air Corps, of a limited num-
ber of battle missions which any
pilot in a given theater shall be
required to endure, after which ir-
respective of leave, furlough or
rotation, he is relieved of combat
duty for substantial period of time
before he again returns to it."
Any other policy, she added, "tends
to demoralize troops She rec
ognized the relief problem as diff.
cult and said the Secretary of War
and chief of staff are no doubt do
ing everything In their power now
to devise means Of relieving in
dividual soldiers too long wearied by

30 men for every one of ours" or

This is the greatest American

or more divisions were American

Describing what was done to meet
German Field Marshal Won Rund-
stedts counterstroke as "resolute
wise and militarily correct" the
Prime Minister said:
Field Marshal Montgomery and
Gen. Omar Bradley handled their
forces In a manner which may be-
come model for the future, and all
the troops fought in magnificent
fashion.

ent time in the field and in our

an agreement on dealing with

While insisting this agreement

that Britain would pursue a war.

Europe so long as he held office
under the crown"
Thus he challenged the House tc
another vote of confidence If it dis
approved.
In a war review which ranged
from Balkan politics to all the fight

Minister declared the present Rus
sian drive was part of a co-ordi-
mated victory plan.
Says Stain Is Every Punctual."
Observing that Marshal Stain
is very punctuar' in keeping his
obligations to the Allies, Mr.
Churchill said he would not attempt
to set limits to the superb and
titanic events" unfolding on the
eastern front.
Il can only say" he said, that
it is certain that the whole eastern
and western fronts and on the long
front in Italy, where q German
divisions are still held by no more
than their number, will be kept
lhenceforth in constant fame until
the final climax is reached"
Gen. MacArthur's recovery of
the Philippines" the Prime Min
lister continued, was fearful
warning to the japanese of their
impending defeat and ruin"
Once again Mr.. Churchill indorsed
the Allied demand for the uncondi-
tional surrender of Germany and
Japan.
Unconditional surrender was
proclaimed by President Roosevelt
at Casablanca," he said. st in
dorsed it there and then on behalf
of this country. I am sure it was
right at the time it was used. I
am clear that nothing should induce
us to abandon the principle of un-
conditional surrender or to enter
into any form of negotiation with
Germany or Japan under whatever
guise until the act of unconditional
surrender has been formally exc
cuted."
Obligation to Humanity.
Apparently in answer to criticism
that Germany's will to resist was
being strengthened, he declared he
and President Roosevelt had repeat
edly made clear that unconditional
surrender 'in no way relieves the
victorious powers of their obliga-
tions to humanity"
Military victory may yet be dis
tant," Mr.. Churchill said. "It is
certainly costly, but it is no longer
in doubt"
In closing his two-hour speech
which was broken by time out for
lunch-Mr. Churchill brought the
house to its feet cheering as he
asserted:
I'VE seek no territory, we covet
no oil fields, we demand no bases for
the forces of the air or of the sea.
I'VE do not set ourselves up in
