Dstarge Score Expected

- WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (U. P)— All army men with 85 discharge points should be out of uniform by “very early November." «The discharge score will probably be reduced to 50 by Dec. 1 ‘That's the outlook as presented to congress by. military spokesmen. The present “critical” score which makes men eligible for. discharge from army rolls is 70 points. It is scheduled to go down to 60 points Nov. 1. These points were brought out after testimony yesterday before the senate military affairs gommittee by Brig. Gen. R. W. Berry, deputy chief of staff for personnel. Berry also reported a “marked jump” in voluntary enlistments, This coupled with similar reports by the navy, may speed the day the draft can be ended. 1000 Recruits a Day Berry said recruits had come into the army at a rate of better than 1000 a day since the passage of a bill permitting one-year enlistments. The army air forces reported that its 35 separations bases alone were now discharging men at a rate of more than 8000 a day. The number of air force officers and men eligible for release under present point scores is 96,087. They will be released within 12 days, On the naval demobilization front, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal revealed than 750,000 men would be brought home on navy warships alone in the next 11 months and hundreds of thousande more on navy transports. Criticized Navy

He made the disclosure in a létter replying to congressmen who criticized the navy for keeping warships tied up in port for Navy Day, Oct. 27. Forrestal sald no warships which could carry men home would be

held in port merely for the cele-|

bration. Meanwhile there was criticism of the army’s policy of permitting immediate discharge of air cadets who volunteered for cadet training prior to their induction into the armed forces. Some 38,000 of the youths may at once seek honorable discharges, which will be granted after Oct. 20, Criticism came from other alr cadets who were already in the army when they volunteered for cadet training and therefore are not eligible for discharge under the} army's plan, Protests Recelved The United Press received télegrams of protest from two such groups, one at the Amarillo, Tex., army air fleld and the other at the San Marcos, Tex. air fleld. * The Amarillo cadets said they had been in the cadet program as long or longer than those eligible for discharge and that they had undergone the same training without special consideration, The war. department said the discharge policy applies to 38,000 air cadets, including 10,000 now taking flight or preflight training. Those now in training may take their choice between being discharged or continuing their training. 3 Those who elect to continte flight training will be required to sign up for the duration plus six months or until June 30, 1047, whichever, is earlier.

pits. Termination of the strike, which has idled 208,000 miners and caused the layoff of at least 30,000 steel workers, would reduce by half the 476,000 strike-idle workers across the nation, Despite termination of the soft coal strike other major walkouts continued. New York waterfront operations were resumed only parfially and film studio employees considered action to stop all movie making in Hollywood. Serious rioting was narrowly averted yesterday when several hundred A. F. of L. and C. 1.
