of "temi-officil" information. -
The army high command told
a senate committee recently its
year-end goal was 7,700,000 and
that thereafter the only additional
needs would be about 75,000 men
a month Jot replacements. That
objective was scaled down, from
an original 8,200,000,
Downey presented his informa
tion to .the senate in a speech
emphasizing a theme he developed
several weeks' ago- that Ger
many could be knocked out of the
war by Feb. 1, 1944. with a maxi
mum concentration of air power.
He contended again that army
plans for a huge land force are
ill-advised because much of it
can never be used and large scale
land invasion is far too costly in
men and material by comparison
with devastating air assault.
Men inducted between now and
April 1 would not be well enough
trained to aid an invasion fo Ger
many for from 15 months to two
years and could never be employ
ed against Japan, he said.
The cost of maintaining an ad
ditional 1,000,000 men for 15
months would be $9,000,000,000,
or 500 Jimes the value of the
60 bombers lost by the United
Slates in the recent attack on vital
ball-bearing factories at Suhwein
furlh, he added.
"British and American fliers
now have an accelerated air pow
er under which at least 10 huge
air attacks can be made on Ger
many monthly. It the attacks are
persisted in, by Feb. 1 German
fliers will be driven from the
skies, the manufacture of all Nazi
war equipment ended on the land,
the German army must disinte
grate, the Hitler government col
lapse and the German nation sur
render."
