To Exceed Britain S By
20% on June 80
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

As Congress and American troops
abroad complain over the rate of
demobilization, studies show that
by the end of this fiscal year, June
So II present plans are carried out,
a considerably larger percentage of
United States fighting men will
have returned to civilian life than
Is the case among their British
colleagues.
On the basis of schedules project
ed by the two governments, Amer
lean rehabilitation from war peak
strength will be little more than
rs per cent complete by the end
of next June. At the same time
roughly SIS per cent of British fight
ing men will be out of uniform.
Data Made Public.
According to figures made public
by the two governments the fol-
lowing comparison can be made:
United States peak war strength:
Army, s,3o0,000; Navy, 3.4l5, 900;
Marines, 484,65o; total, 12,199,65
United States planned strength
as Of June 30: Army. 1850. 900;
Navy, 1,o77,20O; Marines, 19o,943;
total 2,81S,143.
British peak war strength: Army,
1852 400; Navy, 772,o00; Royal Air
Force, 955,0O0; total, 1859 400.
British planned strength as of
June 30: Army, 1,109,e0o; Navy,
100000; air force, $4,000; total,
2,O94,1
American air forces are included
In either the Army or Navy totals.
while the Raj is an entirely in
dependent organization.
Demobilize by Classes.
Unlike the American point system
where overseas service and martial
status count heavily in determin-
Ing a mans eligibility for demobili-
zation, British service men are being
demobilized according to classes.
To begin with, all men over so
have been made eligible for immedi-
ate rehabilitation regardless of
length of service.
Next in order are Glass A groups,
whose eligibility for demobilization
is determined by a formula based
on a combination of age and total
length Of service. A man computes
his rehabilitation group by adding
his age TO the number of months
he has been in the service. For
example, man Of 80 who had been
in the Army, Navy or RAF 10 months
would be In demobilization group
40. There are approximately rs
such groupings.
Different Privileges.
Glass B service men are demobil-
lied without regard to the age-serv-
ice formula because they are badly
needed for some civilian service.
Those separated from the services
under Class A discharges receive
certain advantages, British sources
explain, which do not accrue to
Glass 3 men. For instance, the for
mer receive eight weeks of leave
with pay after discharge, whereas
the latter only three Moreover,
Glass A men can take any job they
like and are liable to recall to the
service only in extreme emergencies.
Glass B men. on the other hand,
must enter the particular recon-
struction jobs for which they were
discharged, and if they leave that
