JEWISH SOLDIERS
Many Unable To Get Home Enjoy
Dinner At USO
On Wednesday, September 29, sol
diers of Jewish faith from Camp Sut
ton who were unable to get furloughs
or passes for the Jewish High Holy
Days were given an opportunity to
celebrate Rosh Hashonah, the Jewish
New Year, at the Main Street USO
Club in Monroe. Because of wartime
necessities, the majority of Jewish
military personnel at Camp Sut'on
were unable to get home for this im
portant holiday, but through the fine
cooperation of the USO Club, Camp
Sutton personnel, and a group of army
wives, the men enjoyed a delicious
home-cooked holiday meal, followed
by special services at Camp Sutton.
Despite the fact that many men
from one of the engineering training
regiments were on bivouac, they were
still given the opportunity to enjoy
this celebration. Under the super
vision of their officers, they were
brought to Monroe by truck where
they enjoyed a full-course chicken
dinner, and then they all attended
the Rosh Hashonah services at Camp
Button, which were conducted by Sgt.
William Wax of Camp Sutton.
Over 100 soldiers of Jewish faith at
tended this holiday celebration. Other
guests included Chaplain Edward S
Hamilton McCombs left Friday for
Raleigh where he was inducted into

Boost In Army
Goal Possible
Secretary Tells Senate The
Figures May Have To
Be Hiked
EXPLAINS REDUCTION
! Undersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson told a Senate committee
day Friday that the army's goal of
7,700,000 in uniform by the end of
the year "may have to be Increased."
An upward revision would mean a
heavier draft of pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers than is now contemplated.
Selective service officials have esti
mated 446.000 will have to be called
to meet the current goal.
Patterson mentioned the possibility!
of a boost in the ArmySs planned size
in testimony before the Byrd commit-
tee, inquiring into the War depart
ment's fiscal affairs and civilian em-;
ployment. He recalled that an Army
of 8,200,000 by the end of this year
originally was planned, but the pro
gram was scaled down to 7,700,000
after the African victories. I
This cut was made, he said, with
out prejudice to the authority of
General George C. Marshall, the chief
of staff, to reinstate the original
Hairier-Pierce plans. j
