Approximately 170 business and professional men began a 30-day “hitch” in the Army today—and at their own expense, They are enrollees at the Business and Professional Men’s Training Camp at Ft.

It is my suspicion that mechanized and air warfare requires only a remarkably small percentage of the manpower essential in other wars.
