Army Planning To Broaden Peacetime Setup This Year WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. — (&) — The Army is considering a broad reorganization of its peacetime setup, involving possible abolition of the Army Service Forces. Under study for several months, the recommendations were made by special boards headed by Dt. Gen. William H. Simpson, and the late Lt. Gen. Alexander M. Patch. Needs Okay Secretary of War Patterson told reporters Thursday the plan still needs his okay and that of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, chief of staff. The completed plans will be submitted to Congressional com mittees for examination. Sources in. a position to know who asked not to be named, said today they looked for early de-( partment approval of the changes which they said will be made re gardless of the fate of President Truman’s Army-Navy unification proposal to congress. \ Four Changes Recommendations under study by the general staff, these sources said, include: 1. Greater autonomy for the Army Air Forces, rather than creation of a separate airforce, to which th^ War department already has voiced opposition; 2. Elimination of the Army ser vice forces and merger of its func tions with those of the War de partment general staff; Ground Forces 3. Reorganization of the Army ground forces into an Army group command which would provide the framework for any actual overseas expedition of the future; 4. Elimination of the existing nine service commands or reduc ing them in plumber and changing their functions. (The Washington Post reported today the Service Commands would become “serv ice areas each with its own or ganization of combat units.) Yeggs, Piggies, Recruit Hit News In Cleveland CLEVELAND, Feb. 24. — (JP) — Mews oddities—ranging from rob bery of a doorless safe to 71 pigs :hat almost missed getting to mar ket—captured headline space here, offering comic relief from post war strikes ar,g[ rehabilitation. For one thing, a burglar got $700 from a safe which had no door, rhat’s what Ralph Seigenthaler re ported from his lumber yard of-1 fice. Last Dec. 29, yeggs knocked the combination off the safe and stole $900. Since then the door has been at the factory for repairs. Eats Way In The local recruiting office came up with the perennial about the eager lad who had to gorge himself in order to weigh enough to en list. This time it was Raymond Miller, 18. Monday he weighed 104, today, 109. Diet: the usual meals, plus malted milks, mid night snacks and bananas. The 71 little pigs used to live near Archbold, Ohio, and were en route in a big truck-trailer to that place from which little pigs never return—the packing company. Be fore dawn the truck overturned at a curve (the driver wasn’t hurt) and spilled out all the little pigs for one last fling at life. Piggies Drown As though pigs aren't hard enough to round up anyway, it turned out there were lots of oak trees in that vicinity. Oaks bear acorns. Pigs like acorns. The round-up took hours. There was a sad note, too. Two ran away and dashed over a 125 foot cliff, right into Lake Erie, and were drowned. Beau Brummel lived the last ten years of his life in Caen, and died there in an insane asylum. x iinuu ASKS 1X0 HELP LONDON, Feb. 24. -UP)— The Archbishop of Canterbury, in the lame' oi the Church of England, ?.sked Sunday that the United Na :ions act with humanity toward de bated countries and that members 3f the church 'unite in helping the suffering people of all lands.” Dial 2-3311 For Newspaper Service o--»<t111» ' SEE OUR 1946 !

It will be the duty of this volunteer Army to help protect the freedoms and main tain the peace we have won at so great a cost. Atomic power has increased rather than decreased the necessity for our preparation, both in manpower and material. In the com ing atomic age, the United States must maintain its military strength — to insure our national security and to promote world order. Such grave responsibilities obviously cannot be met by anything less than the highest caliber of men. For this reason, I asked Congress for legislation to increase the opportunities of the soldier in the Regular Army. This legislation has been passed and signed by me, and is now in effect. In serving his country, a man can now get good pay, education, travel and security — with family allowances for his dependents and a new 20-year retirement plan that compares with or excels anything in American industry. These, and the many other advantages of the new Regular Army, should be made known to all our service men and their families. The Army has embarked upon a world-wide campaign to enlist enough men so that, in demobilizing, we shall not strip our services below the peacetime need. It is imperative that public suppdrt be given to this program. We must replace as soon as possible men who have served long and arduously, and who wish to return to civil life. We must also build an Army of volunteers adequate to all our requirements — at home and abroad — uniil the long-range peace terms and military policies are worked out. I hope that every individual and group will give earnest and enthusiastic co-operation to this great effort to rebuild our Regular Army. The success of this campaign is vital to the performance of Congress authorizes most attractive Enlistment Opportunities in our History 1. Enlistments for 1 yi< 2 or 3 years. (One year enlistments permitted for men who have been in the Army six months.) 2. Enlistment age from 17 to 34 years in clusive, except for men now in Army, who may reenlist at any age, and former service men depending on length of service. 3. The best pay scale, medical care, food, quarters and clothing in Army history. 4. An increase in the reenlistment bonus to $50 for each year of active service since such bonus was last paid, or since last entry into service. t s.
