Next 18 Months
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (UP)
The army, left only with the
job of occupotinn, cut its draft
requirements sharply today and
began preparations to demobil

The navy announced it will
release 1,500,000 to 2.500,000 men

women are eligible for immedi
ate discharge. The coast guard

on the same system.
The point system established
by the navy gives one-half point.
for each year of age, figured to
1 h o nearest birthday, one-half
point for each full month of ac
tive duty since Sept. 1, 1035 and
10 extra points for dependents.
This means 10 points for depend
ents in general, regardless of the
number.
President Truman signaled the
start of demobilization with a
statement that 5,000,000 men will
be released from the army dur

specify the number of occupation
troops to be needed.
The navy said of the personnel
eligible for discharge under the
plan, preference will be given to
