Army Plans ToContinue InductionS
 Forces Requirements
 Remain tO Be Met
 For Occupation Work

Washington, Feb. l4- CUP) On the basis of present recruiting, the Army probably will have to request continuation of Selective Service after its present expiration May l5, Secretary of War Robert P. Patter- son said today.
 Patterson said this was the case even though the Army has obtain ed, a record enlistment of 500.00 men in recent months. He pointed out that many Of these enlistments came from among men already in the service.
 He told newsmen at the National Press Club that a final decision on extension of Selectiye Service would likely come within a month.
 ReauirementS to Shrink
 He said the Army's requirements of 1, ,5O0,0O0 men as of June 30, lS46 would substantially shrink as the occupation activities are stabilized and the less active theaters were abandoned. The Army strength as of June 30. l947, he said, will cer- tainly be less than 100000, the exact figure will be stated before long"
 The Army demobilization pro- gram rounded out its ninth full month of operation with the re- lease of the 5000 .0O0th person to civilian life since May l2, l945, the War Department announced mean- while.
 The total number of Army per sonnel discharged now exceeds by nearly 2.O00. 900 the estimates made last September.
 The January estimate was 8O0,00C and the Army actually discharged sssy0OO.
 Discharges Ahead
 Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower pre- dicted on Jan. Is before Con- gressional joint meeting that D. 200, GOO would be released between Jan. and April 90.
 Between Jan. l and Feb 8 there were l,l5S.OOO discharged,
 The present strength Of the Army is approximately 5000, ,OOO Nine months ago on V-E Day, at its peak it was S300.000.
 ''The recruiting campaign has done we'll" Patterson said. How ever, 1t should be pointed out that oyer 50 per cent have enlisted for the shorter terms-one year or l8 months.
 Tt Is clear that separations will exceed the reductions in our re- auirenaents, hence a steady mere ment of new men after June 80 will be necessary"
