 today he hopes to be able to or

 He said it is his plan to have this committee see that such de- lenses are adequate.
 We have not done enough for Alaska. the most vulnerable section of the nation" Magnuson told reporter. We hope through our committee to render every aid in seeing that everything possible is done to defend the Northwest and the Territory"
 Magnuson said he believes every area should have adequate defenses and that they do not have them now. He said New England, the Great Lakes, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska are among those areas not adequately taken care of in the defense program.

However, a search of police

The United Mine Workers today

of the Mississippi and all an

their jobs Monday. 1t was the
first break in the 12-day' coal

The order applied to the 49,

600 bituminous miners in nine
states west of the Mississippi.
The announcement was made

Army's Strength Cut
3, 500 But Is Still Far
Above Budget Limit
BY John A. Giles

The Army's efforts to stop its
headlong expansion and strim its
size to fit President Truman's bud
get for next year Is beginning to
bear fruit. But its manpower total
is still considerably above Mr..
Truman's proposed ceiling.
Maj. Gen. John E. Dahlquist,
deputy director of personnel, said
yesterday that the services over
all strength had been reduced
by nearly $500 from the high
mark of 711,500 officers and men
on January 81. The President IS
budget for the fiscal year begin
ming July l provides funds for
SIT 900 and the department must
cut its total to this figure by that
date. >
The cut back is being accom-
plished by stopping all drafting of
men and limiting the number of
volunteers to 5000 a month. The
number of recruits had been aver
aging some $4,000 monthly before
this action.
InductiOnS Unlikely.
Draft registrants probably need
not contemplate any further in
ductions before at least June un-
less the rate of attrition in the
Army rises suddenly. Even so,
the ban on volunteers will be lifted
before there are any more draft
calls. There is no present indi-
cation that the attrition rate will
rise since re-enlistments are con-
tinuing extremely high.
The officer strength of the Army
now totals $4,000, or 1000 more
than next years budgetary CELL
ing, and the department also is
taking steps to bring this into line.
It has authorized all reservists,
except those in scarce categories
such as the Medical corps, to ap-
ply for release from active duty
without giving any reason for such
requests. Heretofore, it has re-
quired that such reservists give
we'll -documented causes for appli-
cations for separation.
1S-Year- -Olds Registered.

get and the regular attrition rates
plus some restrictions on recruit
ing is expected to bring them into
line by July /. Those services have
not yet announced plans for bring
ing their forces into line with the
budget.
Meanwhile, Frank D. Norton,
deputy District selective service
director, reported than the organ
ization here was keeping busy de-
spite the induction holiday. Eight
een-year-olds are being registered
at the rate of 500 a month and
questionnaires are being mailed to
those registrants already on the
books.
Mr.. Norton pointed out that
those registrants who had reached
26 years since they signed up still
must advise local boards Of any
changes in their status despite the
fact they they will not be pro-
cessed for induction under the law.
1t is necessary to keep manpower
records up p-to-date, he said.
