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

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

Heitkamp, who will continue

IS
OF
Flash Fldler, local horse fan
cier, recently purchased Beau
Ki, fine Palomino stallion, from
William T. Grant, Jr., of Shady
Cove and Los Angeles. 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.
