Strickler Says Only Small Group

Set for Replacements CAMP ATTERBURY, Feb, 6—From GI to general the troops here were blitzing brass and shining shoes in preparation for a visit tomorrow by Secretary of the Army

Clark, commanding general of the! Army Field Forces.

The coming visit was hearalded with barracks’ rumors that the unit, or parts of it, were overseas

Maj. Gen. Daniel Strickler, commanding general of the 28th Division, squashed rumors that large groups of men from his division had been alerted for overseas shipment, “We are sending some men to port replacement pools,” the general said, “but they are not in large numbers.”

Replacements Required

“All training divisions are required to provide some men for replacement purposes,” the general continued. “Up until now, none of our men had the required 14 weeks basic training. Now they do.” Gen. Strickler pointed out that the men would be privates and would not reduce the division below table of organization strength. : “We have maintained an over-

strength during our training peri-| o.oo op ; Fre In the mb “picture, ‘a belt

/ od for this purpose,” he said.

men who are shipped will be replaced with recruits.” The actual number of men being processed for shipment to the port replacement pools was classified information and could not be revealed.
