Everyone knows the post

else in the course of his job

or the barber probably walks

many miles the housewife
steps off in the course of a

taking care of two daughters,
Leslie, S, and Lindsay, 3; a

miles while travelling nearly

Enlistment Of Aliens
For Army in Europe
Is Reported Failing
By the Associated Press

HEIDELBERG, Germany, April
9.-After a year of effort, only
220 displaced persons have been
recruited in Europe for the United
States Army.
The quota for these aliens was
set at 1880. Army authorities
frankly doubt they will ever get
even a tenth of them. 1t looks
as if the ambitious program to
bolster American defense forces
with European DPS is heading
for failure-from a military
standpoint at least.
When the alien enlistment law
was passed by Congress with the
sponsorship of Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts,
many expected that Europe's
young refugees from war and
communism would flock to the
American colors by thousands.
They were offered a chance at
American citizenship after five
years of military service-and full
equality of pay and other treat
