SLOW IN COMING
Washington. Aug. 9 (U.R)
War Department records show
today that in the three months
s nee V-E Day the Army had ais-
charged under the point system
only 40,000 more men than It
had drafted.
Meanwhile, the overall army
size has dropped 190,000 during
the same period because of losses
from all causes. Including the
nnlnt system, which have not
been replaced.
It was also disclosed that 750
000 of the 3,500,000 Americans
in Europe had been returned to
this country for discharge or re
deployment.
Since Germany quit, the army
has drafted 210,000 men, or 70V
000 per month. To offset this
about 250,000 have been given
point discharges, while another
150,000 have been separated
from the army because of age,
casualty status or other reasons
Slow on Releases
Secretary of War Henry L.
Stimson has promised that 1,-
500,000 men would be released
from service by June 1 of next
year under the point system. He
also warned that the rate of dis
charge would be slow until re
deployment to the Pacific was
well in hand.
These facts, studied in con
junction with the present record,
indicate clearly that there will
be only a slight reduction in the
army's two-war strength of more
than 8,000 men until after tne
first of next year.
One of the most boiling and
complex Washington controver
sies of the war has grown out
of the War Departments man
power policies.
Stimson's figure of 7,000,000
men to fight the battle of Japan
has been constantly attacked as
"unnecessarily high" and "man
power hoarding." Also, practi
cally every bloc In the capital
has brought pressure on him to
release skilled men without re
gard for arduous service for use
In private industry.

EX-G-MAN TRAILS
NAZIS 10 KILLED
By Robert Mutal
United Press Staff
Correspondent
Darmstadt, Aug. 9 (U.R)
Col. Melvin Purvis, former ace
G-man who helped track down
John Dilllnger, is now on the
trail of German mobs that are
known to have killed hundreds
of Alllei airmen aitej they had
been shot down in Reich terri
tory. Purvis Is looking through the
army's secret file, and he is ex
pected to recommend some
technique, similar to the G
men's system, for digging out
the criminals.
Flier Blinded
There is one case where an
American flier had both eyes
knocked out by a crowbar.
There is another where 10
"Rhine maidens" murdered a
British pilot by kicking him in
the groin.
Lt. Gen. Wade H a 1 s 1 1 p,
seventh army commander, now
is reviewing the evidence of the
. recent trials at Darmstadt and
i BynflrtnH in nnmp n nlnr-A unci
date for the executions soon.
The German women and five
men were found guilty of club
bing to death six American avia
tors in the village of Russelheim.
They were sentenced to death.
I learned last night that only
two hours after these six Amer
icans were murdered, eight
British and Canadian aviators
were attacked and mauled so
badly that it looked as if their
deaths would be added to the
village's already bloody record.
Saved By Major
The crowd quit, however,
when a Wehrmacht Major
Kirchner drew his pistol and,
threatened to fire.
S. S. Brlgate Chief Hille and
Lt. Gen. of Police Stroop naa
Kirrhnpr broken in rank be
cause of this. Both are on the
war criminals list now, charged
with repeatedly urging the kill
ing of, imprisoned airmen.
It L helieved there are a
thousand such war crime cases
yet to be handled in the Ameri
can zone.
THE GRANGE
