keep the vast organization at a level
of efficiency.
The Pacific Fleet is in good
shape" he said, but We are con-
cerned about the personnel situation
because of the expiration of two
year enliStmentS.
"Enlistments are not as great as
hoped for. About 100000 enlist
ments will expire during this fiscal
year. We do not have to replace
all OF them, but we hope to end
the year with a strength of $4,000
to 100000 men"

. to leave today on a naval vessel for
the West Coast, en- route to Wash
