Recruiting Crisis Confronts Army

New Law Needed; June 30 Is Deadline

By JIM G. LUCAS cripps-Howard Staff ‘Writer WASHINGTON, May 31—Unless congress passes legislation by June 30 authorizing the war department to continue recruiting, the peacetime army is in trouble. Bills have been introduced in the senate and the house, but no hearings have been scheduled. The war department admits it was “far too slow” in getting the bills ready. “Now, tniess” congress acts before the June 30 deadline—and its program is packed—the army must fall back on the war powers act. It authorizes enlistments for duration of the emergency and six months thereafter. War department spokesmen say they “couldn't pick up 10 soldiers a month” that way. Would Scrap Short Terms The new recruiting law would scrap one-year and 18-month ene listments. - It would .authorize enlistments of two to six years; reenlistments for periods ranging from three to six years and reenlistments of men in the first three grades for “unspecified periods of time on a career basis.” Career men would receive a $50 annual bonus. The army opposed one-year and 18-month enlistments when they were written into the law last year. But it took what it could get. The average short-termer apparently enlisted to qualify for G. I. bill * benefits. In the first six months of this year 237,000 termers ‘will finish their ments. Quly'3 per cent will in service, Army Gets Little Work
