VENEREAL DISEASE

IN GERMANY GROWS

PARIS, June 22 (U. P.).—The |

army newspaper, Stars and Stripes, | today reported a “staggering” increase in venereal disease among | American troops in Germany who are forbidden vo fraternize. The overall increase in venereal disease among ground forces throughout the ETO 'was 300 per cent for the six-week period from the - first part of April to May 25, the paper said. There were 2831 new venereal disease cases reported during that time, Stars and Stripes said. Medical officers reported the upward trend was continuing. » The increase for all army branches in the ETO was estimated

at 50 per cent, compared with the

“The purpose of that is to so level the differences that our men can {take their objectives without the heavy losses which otherwise would ‘be’ the case,” he explained. “Artillery ammunition comes into the same solution.” In the last. two years American ground troops fired 3,160.000,000 rounds of large and small ammunition at the Germans, he said. He estimated that 3,000,000,000 rounds will be needed to defeat the Jap- §#v ‘anese. “The consumption of heavy artillerv ammunition will be exceedingly heavy, out of all proportion I am sure to that of the fighting In Europe,” he added.

Only in Initial Stages

Arnold told the committee that the army air forces “uniformly un-' derestimated” the damage to Ger-! many and that #no modern indus‘trial nation could have survived it.” “We can and will do the same against Japan,” he declared. f Along with the testimony of Mar-' ishall and Arnold came a warning from Deputy Chief “of Staff Gen. {Thomas T.

One float carried members of the | Abilene high-school foothall team {of 1910. There was a vacant tackle berth on that team-—the spot the general filled. As the float passed, Ike leaned over and shouted a greeting to his teammates of 35 years ago.
