ON INCREASE
Urged To Meet Shortage In
AirbOrne Personnel
Enlistments
TAKE OVERSEAS DUTY

Six thousand, four hundred and
eighty-nine young men volunteered
for service in the Regular Army
during the month of July at Re-
cruiting Stations in the nine states
comprising at First Army Area,
according to figures released by
the United States Army Recruit
ing Service, First Army, in New
York. Seventy-five per cent, or
1891 of the new enlistees were
men with no prior service. Twen-
ty per cent, or 1,340 had seen SER
vice with the Army of the United
States during the war, while the
remaining five per cent or $50 were
members of the Regular Army.
The new higher pay scale under
which private earns SIS month,
and the desire of recent high
school graduates to take advan-
tage of the CT. Bill of Rights in
the furtherence of their education
is believed to contribute to the
large increase in the number of or
iginal enlistments. An enlistment
period of 18 months was the most
popular choice. of the 6,4S9 en-
listees, 2, 917 signed up for 1S
months, 2,752 for three years, 4S0
for two years and $40 for one
year. With enlistments for the
European Theatre now restricted
to certain specialist jobs, the Car
ibbean Defense Command.was fav-
ored by the greater number of
three-year enlistees who chose an
overseas theater. The Caribbean
attracted $50, the Pacific Theater
694, the Alaskan Department 106,
and the Mediterranean Theater
172. In announcing the enlistment
figures for July, the Recruiting
Service headquarters again urged
Regular Army enlistments in air.
borne units to meet critical
shortage in airborne personnel.
Direct enlistments for three years
may be made for the Eleventh Air
borne Division, now in the Pacific
Theater, and for the 80 Airborne
Division, now at Fort Bragg, N. C..
Enlistments for any period permit
ted under current regulations also
may be made in Airborne, unas-
signed. Il
