U.S. CASUALTIES MAY RISE FAST

| Holman Asserts Yanks May Be Toll | Of War This Year.

By JOHN F. CRAMER | Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Senator Rufus C. Holman (R. Ore.) predicted today that American casualties in 1943, army and navy combined, would, be “several hundred thousand, perhaps even a million.” He emphasized that his figures were not official ones, and added: “I certainly hope they're wrong.” However, his statement was regarded as significant, because he is a membér of several committees, including the senate military affairs committee, which are investigating military manpower requirements. , Senator Holman, an outspoken critic of the administration, said he doubted whether certain military and naval experts who appeared before the committees had expressed their own opinions. He said he had reason to believe that they had merely echoed and defended the estimates of their superiors,

Asked Questions of McNutt

“It is difficult,” he said, “to get the independent judgments of the department representatives who appear before our committees. They seem to be bound by some obligation to support the determination already arrived at by the commander in chief. “They temper their testimony accordingly.” Senator Holman said that on Feb.

man Paul V. McNutt, asking the following questions: “l. How many more men than those already transported overseas can our nation, with the facilities availabie to us, transport, supply and maintain during 1943? “2. What is the present progress of equipment production in terms of men? “3. How many men can our government today equip with rifles, machine guns, uniforms, ete.?

No Answer Yet

“4. How many men can our govtrnment now equip with light artillery, heavy artillery, tanks, trucks, ete.? “5. Do you contemplate any difficulty arising during 1943, or thereafter, in the production of foods, fibers and . minerals; or in the processing of them in sufficient quantities to maintain our combat forces wherever they may be, and to méet our lend-lease obligations as well as to support the productive (as distinguished from combat) forces and the aivil population of our country?” He said he had not yet received an: answer, However, he said the best information he had been able to obtain indicated that it took at least ‘10 tons of food, clothing and equipment to accompany one soldier overseas, and an additional one and one-half tons a month to maintain him.
