Neufeld. officials from towns in this area educators, service club repre sentatives and newspaper peo ple at a dinner given by the war department at the Marion hotel Wednesday night, pointed out the need for a regular army of 1 600,000 volunteers and told of the post-war plans of the US army. Griffin who is commissioned in the coast artillery corps and has seen duty overseas in both World wars 21 months in the first war in France with the headquerters of the 66th field artillery brigade and as an as sistant to the late Gen. George White, at Pearl Harbor when the Nip. struck in this war and later in the ETO with the G-3 section of the Third army dur ing combat and on occupational duty later characterized the United States army of tomorrow as the insurance policy of the people of this country that peace will be maintained. Noting that radio commenta tors and columnists have stated that the remnants of the once magnificent army that defeat ed the hordes of axis might, now only constitute a corporal's guard, the colonel pointed out that the army is not now a bal anced protective force capable of protecting us against aggres sion, nor of giving us the nec essary strength at the peace table to back our just demands or to implement our plans to carry out our responsibilities in substit'iting peace for armistice. The fact that the army of yes terday was Inadequate was blamed by Col. Griffin for this war. Elaborating on that state ment, the speaker said that Hit ler, Mussolini and Tojo would not have launched the war had the army been adequate and as evidence of its inadequacy gave the defeats at Pearl Harbor, Ba taar. and Corregidor. Stressing the necessity of a standing army of 1,600.000 volunteers Griffin compared that number to the small forces of 14,000 officers and 125 000 enlisted, men such a small group that it could be sealed in the Yankee stadium with room to spare of the period from 1922 to 1935 and that of 14,000 officers and 165, 003 men in the years between 1935 r.nd 1940. Pointing out that the new army would be one of volun teers, speedy enlistment of which would mean the dis charge ol men inducted into the service Col. Griffith reminded his lirteners of the important part that these men would have In maintaining the peace that so many gave their lives to achieve. Those at the dinner were re minaed by Griffin that the army does not want in its ranks men wno are misfits in society, but high type of qualified young men. and he asked that they re member that the soldiers of to morrow were citizens of this country and their neighbors, who would merit respect and high esteem. In Si.lem with Col. Griffin were Lt Col. William M. Cal hoon, commanding officer of the Oregon recruiting district, and Firtt Lt C. G.
