Armed Forces
Need More Men,
Says Patterson
Washington, Jan. JO UP Under
secretary of War Robert P. Pat
terson said today that Inductions
Into the armed forces will have to
be jumped to approximately 150,
000 a' month to meet military de
mands. Testifying before the house mili
tary affairs committee on work
or fight legislation for men from
the ages of 18 to 45, Patterson
said that during the first half of
1945 1,600,000 additional persons
will be needed in the war effort
900,000 for military service, and
700,000 in war production and war
supporting activities.
This would put the rate of In
ductions at 150,000 a month, al
most doubling previous expecta
tions of selective ' service that
January and February induc
tions would run between 80,000
and 85,000 a month.
Bill Endorsed
Patterson and Undersecretary
of Navy Ralph A. Bard indorsed
a bill by Chairman Andrew J.
May, D., Ky., of the military af
fairs committee, for work or fight
regulations for all deferred, men
between 18 and 45, but added that
there is a vital need for national
service In its broadest aspects as
recommended by President Roose
velt in his annual message.
Patterson said the May bill had
war department approval as an
"immediate measure," but added
that "we hope more comprehen
sive legislation along the lines
referred to by the president in his
message also will be enacted."
Instances Cited
"In the past we by that I
mean the government have re
sorted to half way measures, not
furnishing a quick solution to im
pediment s," Patterson said
"There have been innumerable
instances where production furn
ishing supplies to the armed forc
es has been retarded because of
inadequate mobilization of man
power in civilian pursuits.
"The only complete and ade
quate solution to the manpower
situation is full national service
as the president requested . . .
the war will be shortened by to
tal mobilization of manpower."
Patterson and Bard told the
committee that neither the army
or navy could use non-combatants
in special service units, and hoped
that in the enactment of work or
fight legislation congress would
make the work In these units so
unattractive that deferred men
would go into essential industry
rather than accept assignment to
a special service unit.

Othman Visits at Pentagon,
Gets Low Down on Lovelorn
PROWLER IS REPORTED
. Startled by what she thought
was a prowler around her home
shortly after 1 o'clock this morn
ing, Mrs. Joe Wright, 258 Hill
street, summoned Bend officers
to the scene. The police reported
they were unable to find any trace
of a prowler.
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Presi Staff Corrwipondent)
Washington, Jan. 10 (itt-I've
just spent the day at the penta
gon with the army's advice-to the
lovelorn department and I wish
you could have been along. You
should have seen those poor dev
ils sweat.
The army postal service han
dles 40,000,000 letters a week. It
gets also SiOOO weekly complaints
about terrible service anil my
man, a lieutenant colonel who
can't bo named here because of
the rules, must answer the kicks.
Most of them, he has discovered,
concern love: Mostly he has to j
grit his teeth and play cupld.
There was, for Instance, the
lady In Kansas who said she
hadn't heard from her husband in
Italy in months and what was the
matter with the army, anyhow?
My man had one of his assistants
in Italy interview the soldier, who
said the reason his wne naun i ie
ceived any mail from him since
May 5, 1!M4, was because ne nan
n't written her. He added that he
didn't intend to write her.
The lovelorn department is
wondering at this writing how to
tell the missus. It am t easy. .
"We have considerable mother-in-law
trouble," the army com
plaint man said, "and a great deal
of grief caused by guys who get
letters from girls and tear 'em up
without answering. Then we got
ladies who send off soldiers to the
wars after meeting 'em at a dance,
and address a letter to Private
John Doe, six feet two inches tall,
dark brown eyes, curly hair,
somewhere in France. We can't
deliver such mail, nor can we un
dertake to give addresses of sol
diers to anyone except members
of their Immediate families."
Once in a while the love-lorn
man receives a letter that gives
him a smile, such as the one from
the lady in Minnesota, who wrote
that her son in the South sea is
lands was a meticulous young
man. He wanted to do his own
wr.shing; his mother wondered
how she could ship him an elec
tric washinir machine.
"Regret military necessity will
not permit," began the letter that
answered her.
Numerous citizens ask how to
nack ice cream for shipment over
seas; there's no chance of it. One
mother wanted to send her son a
consignment of lard, so he could
have some home-fried potatoes.
Another thought her son might
ed like a pleasant, balmy place to
her.
"That's one trouble with peo
ple," the lovelorn colonel said.
"They don't know much about ge
ography. They seem to think it is
as easy to get a letter to Karachi
as to Dubuque. Actually we're giv
ing better international mail serv
ice to soldiers than civilians ever
had before the war."
About then an orderly came in
with more complaints, including
one from a wife, who said her
dentist husband hadn't received a
letter from her in weeks.
She enclosed his note, which
said that if he didn't get some
mail in a hurry, he intended to
corral every mail clerk In North
Africa and pull out his teeth.
"H-m-m-m-m," the colonel said.
One other thing: You've got un
til the 15th of this month to send
Valentine greetings abroad. The
love-lorn department said it ex-
ppcted about 10,000,000 hearts-and-
flowers missives to go abroad and
more than that (fighting men are
sentimentalists) to come back.
Or everybody loves everybody,
except maybe the colonel, who
gets Insults only from irate fe
males.

County Farmers
Told of Deadline
February 15 is an important
deadline for all Deschutes county
farmers who have not yet report- liUn n bathine suit. He was sta
ed performance under the 1944 1 tioncd in Greenland, which sound-
agricultural conservation pro
gram, H. P. Eby, chairman of the
county AAA committee, announc
ed yesterday.
That is the final date, the chair
man said, for farmers who car-j
ried out production practices en-1
titling them to payments under
the 1944 AAA program to report
their performance to-the county
AAA office. The 1944 program
closed December 31, and the per-
about 75 per cent complete.
Estimated earnings of Oregon
farmers for farm and range im
provements leading to increased i
wartime food production are con-
siderably more than this state's j
share of the original $300,000,000;
aproprfatlnn for that purpose, thej
county committee has boon in
lormed by the state AAA office.
Had it not boon for the additional j
513,000,000 recently provided by!
congress, reduced payment rates !
would have been necessary be
cause of the increased participa-j
tion in the 1941 program. j
Farmers are urged to file their j
report of performance at the
Deschutes county ACA office,
Redmond.
