One top evel, though off-the cuff, estimate was that the- num ber of American troops might be pared more than half without risking trouble with the German population in the U. S. zone. A new and uncertain element was introduced, however, by Prime Minister Attlee's proposal to slash British military commit ments as part of the labor govern ment's drastic- new effort to bol ster Britain's sagging economy. The army s position is that with Germany divided, international relations clouded and Russia's ratification of the satellite peace treaties delayed, the 150,000 or so American troops in Europe are a rock bottom minimum. That position has been under urgent review, however, because the size of the occupation forces was based on a regular army establishment with total strength of 1,070,000 authorized by con gress, while -with the decline in voluntary enlistments . it has shrunk to fewer than 1,000,000.
