District Applicants
For Army Enlistment
Highest Since Draft

District applications for enlist
ment in the Army are at their high
est point since the end of the draft,
according to records at the main
Army recruiting station here and
officers believe the high cost of liv-
ing may be the explanation.
In March of last year, when Sc
lective Service ended, applications
for enlistment stood at 374 for the
month. They dropped abruptly in
April, 1916, and after that with GER
tain seasonal fluctuations, declined
steadily until May of this year. In
April of this year there were only
80 applications.
Mai. Richard J. Csrmody, COM
manding officer OF the recruiting
station. has no official explanation
for the fact that the downward
curve steadied in May. 1t rose to
l48 in June and last month reached
the figure of 1886.
Seasonal fluctuations cannot ac-
count for the increase. Maj. Car
mody pointed out, since normally
the period of high enlistment Is in
the fall, when disappointed high
school and college applicants swell
the total. The low point come in
midwinter, especially around the
Christmas holidays.
The rise Is especially surprising
because decrease had been expect
ed at this particular time. Benefits
under the CT Bill of Rights, which
included college education at Gov
ernment expense, ended on July
"a. Thought to be a strong in
ducement to, young men, it was
expected that enlistments of high
school graduates would fall off after
the benefits were discontinued. How
ever, of last months applicants,
more than half were in the 10 to
20 year age bracket.
No particular age group is re-
sponsible for the increase. Re-
enlistments Of World War II vet
Grams account for about a third of
the applicatio;- - the rest are
mostly men under Is.
Although l4.ey - lot have the
figures to prove it, officers at the
station have a. few ideas of their
own about the trend. They believe
that civilian life Is becoming more
difficult and that the housing short
age and high cost Of living are
providing a greater inducement than
any recruiting campaign possibly
could.
