The . action may ' cause a delay up to three .month in the home coming of a' soldier on foreign service eligible for discharge. The priority in which troops will be returned, however, is unchanged.

The rate will be cut from the current 800.000 or more monthly to about 300,000 a month. Collins, army director of infor mation, said that in no case "should this delay any man in the theatres more than three months beyond the time he be came eligible for discharge." Collins also disclosed that the planned strength of the army for next July 1 now was 1,550,000, a reduction of about 400,000 from estimates made last September. Nips Forecast Cabinet Crisis TOKYO.
