Brass Caste Investigation Seems To Have Topped

Headquarters Alaskan Depart ment, April 22-Speaking in the House on April 8, Representative Plumley of Vermont referred to the Doolittle Caste" Board and presented at some length a view point that appears to have been unanimously overlooked or neglec- ted by writers and commentators on the subject. Pointing out the obvious, MT. Plumley said:
 During the period December, l94l. through August, l945, ap- proximately lO,4OO,0OO served in the Army. Of their number some 970,000 served as officers. Let's examine this latter figure.
 "To repeat, during the period December, 1941, through August, 1945, some 970,00O individuals served as officers in our Army out of total of 10,400,0O0 who served in that Army.
 Of these, 18,OO0 were officers of the Regular Army-less than one in 50.
 ''Of these Regular Army off cers, half were West Pointers less than one in 100. Nine thou sand West Pointers and 18,0OO Regular Army officers altogether in an Army of more than 10 mil lion men!
 What about the other 952,000 officers? If there's an Army caste it must have included them, since there aren't enough regulars to count when totals are considered.
 "its sad story. The caste about which minority of the CTS

complain has been discovered af- ter all. Over 62 per cent of the 'brass!' All in one big lump. All from a single source. Who are :hey? Ex-enlisted men! Every one of tkem!
 More privates became officers than in all the previous wars of our whole history, and there was more opportunity for enlisted men to become officers than ever be- fore in any Army-and to rise to higher grades.
 ''So this is the brass and this l. the officer caste and this is the officer caste system against which a veryS few inveigh, some of shem inspired by insidious in- fluences working under cover to stir distrust of the best army that ever fought a war. Do not forget :ha'
 Had it not been for these en- listed men who became officers, and for the other men who left ten homes and business or pro- fessions to enter the Army, we could not have fought a war.
 Generals Kreuger, Kenny, Hodges, Lear, Doolittle and others whose names stand high in the Army record of performance all started their Army careers as en- listed men. It is self-evident on the basis of these facts that the American Army is the most demo- cratic in the world"
 At about the same time, Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, who walked at the head of his troops over half of Burma and stood shoulder to shoulder with them in jungle bat ties, told the San Francisco Cham

We now know how great those needs are, with de-

nearly billion acres of the countrys farm and ranch
land need complete planned conservation treatment
The first detailed study of farmland resources ever
made such scale by any nation, it also revealed
state by state, the specific conservation practices re-
naming to be done. I might mention such needed
125 million acres of contour planting

OF terracing 220 million of rotation on graz

1t is estimated that the whole job-which extends
to every county in the country with CROP pasture or
woodands-wil take probably 20 years. at least just
to get the basic work Thereafter of course will
be the continuing task of maintaining conservation
work. The basic job will require about 8 u million
manyears of labor, regardless of it's and ncud

and horse equipment years of work That is not to
mention " million tons of seed and literally billions
of trees and other plants
