II3KT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. Kot. 29, 1945 POST-WAR ARMY IS ESTIMATED AT 1,741,000 TROOPS Unofficial Figure Used as Basis for Army Supplies; Senate Hearing Told. Washington. Nov. 29 U.R) The war department has set working estimate of the post war armv at 1.180,000 active trooDS Dlus 661,000 national guardsmen. The ligure was dis closed today by department spokesman at a senate hearing on war supplies and surplus pro perty and war reserves. The estimate Is used to plan for sup- Dlies. Kenneth C. Royall, under secretary of war. told the spec ial investigating committee headed by Sen. James M. Mead D.. N. Y.. however, that the figures were assumptions for the mirnose of planning material needs. They are not, he said the official estimate of post-war military strength. "Congress will have to pass upon the troop basis before it can be Imple mented in terms of personnel as well as materiel," he said. Conflicting Problem Royall said there were "con flicting considerations" In the problem of determining how much of the war material to re tain for the army. "There is the possibility," he said, "of having to buy back in the Immediate future goods that we declare surplus today; there is the necessity for prepared ness." Mead said he wanted the rec ord to show that the army now has 30,000,000 surplus sheets; 116,000,000 pairs of shorts; 430, 000 wrist watches, 64,000 trunks, 42,000,000 pairs of wool drawers and 24,000,000 pairs of hoes. Army Victim Royall said that these figures had little significance because the disposal agencies have not been able to get rid of all the surplus the army already has handed over to them. Royall said the army has been the victim of "unjustified criti cism" concerning "hoarding" surpluses. "Obviously the . burden of storing and handling and caring for these surpluses is a tremen dous one In terms of space and manpower and expenses," he declared. "It is also the unjustified criticism of the war department, for the uninformed are prone to accuse, the army of hoarding this very property that has been declared to the disposal agen cies, but which the war depart ment Is required to store in army depots until the disposal agencies sell It." Wortman Ranch Is Sold To Heitkamp Martin Heitkamp of Barnett Road, Route 4, announced yes terday the purchase of the Frank Wortman ranch, two miles south of Medford, known for many years as the John Gore property, from the Wort man heirs. Heitkamp had pur chased part of the property, numbering about 170 acres, sev eral months ago and has now bought the remainder, he stated. Heitkamp, who will continue to reside on Barnett Road, plans to stock the ranch with dairy and beef cattle, he states. Tho ranch adjoins the Bear Creek Orchard and has frontage on the Pacific highway.

The colt is from the top blood lines of the West, being sired by Beau Brummel, a prize winning stal lion. Beau Brummel was sired by El Moreno, who was by Sol ano by Highland's Denmark, making four generations of sad- dlebreds on the sire's side, three of which were Palominos. Beau Brummel is the brother of the great Palomino, "Cream of Wheat," who sired The Harvest er, an outstanding Palomino of the country's top shows for sad dlebreds. Jim Fagan, secretary of the Palomino Horse association, re cently wrote, "Beau Ki has the finest blood lines of any Palo mino registered with our asso ciation today. The colt is eligi ble for registration not only as a Palomino but can also be reg istered In the Half-Bred Associa tion and the American Saddle Bred Horse Breeders associa tion," according to Fidler. Fidler is breaking and train ing the colt, which will be shown next year by Mrs. Fidler, according to present plans. USES CORER ON WOOL Laramie, Wyo.
