PatI teison told a Senate military affair* subcommittee that the numi her of army enlistments "still re- | main* far short of the number re 'ini >-d " and that (her* is “no solid grnitnX for assuming that ail army jobs could be filled with vol unteers.

Patterson said. "There will be no peace unless we take the muasures necessary to maintain our forces in Japan and Germany. *1 do not lielieve that an increase in pay will lie the final word in the procurement of all the volunteers needed, but it undoubtedly will bring In more recruits." Forrbxtai said the need for high er service pay was "urgent." He cited detailed figures showing private industry now offers far bet ter pay than the armed forces. "This gap is now so wide that unless an effort Is psesently made I to narrow it. it win become ImI possible for u* to attract to the I navy la •ttfii<4ent quantity the type I at men md officer* we require to I discharge our responsibilities." r Forrestal H id.
