Engineers ventured no explanation for the fall of the river's crest other than the possibility that the Reds may have closed all or some of the gates before finally retreating north.

these men perform aren't necessary. The Armed Services must have post exchanges, laundries, clubs and post offices. But a strong case can be made that these are jobs which can be filled by civilians or by men now rejected as unfit for com-

bat duty,

It does little good .to check the personnel files. Because the records conceal — rather than tell—the story. All. services, for instance, employ a little device known as “The MOS.” MOS stands for military occupation specialty. Theoretically, a man's MOS is the key to his job assignment. He may have several MOS numbers, revealing he’s competent in seyeral fields. In practice, however, the system is a good cover-up. A man may be listed in the MOS files as a machine gunner, but given the job of mowing a general's lawn. Still the record says he's assigned as a machine gunner, The only way to find out he’s

duty.” As far as the records were concerned, however, they were stationed at Ft. Meyer, Ft. McNair, etc. A couple of enlisted men were busily ‘typing while this discussion went on. Before ‘we were through, an additional enlisted messenger deposited a sheaf of papers on the captain's desk. I'd also asked how many enlisted men were assigned as clerks, typists, cooks, messengers, waiters, etc. After each question the Army had written

a big zero. " »

- I PROTESTED that I'd eaten lunch in the general's mess and had seen six enlisted men—all of combat age—waiting tables, “Probably true,” the captain said. “But that’s not their MOS. You'd have to check the file of each man personally. As far as their MOS is concerned, they're doing some other job. They're probably carried as drivers or rifiemen. They're just filling in as waiters, I'll bet you can check every MOS in Washington and ‘you won't find a single man listed as a waiter.”

next five years. . Largest item in the improvement program is an $8 million reservoir on Cicero Creek, in Hamilton County. Without its 7-billion-gallon storage capacity, Mr. Daniels said, Indianapolis may suffer, during a hot, dry summer like in 1944 or 1945, the same fate which overtook New York City last summer —a critical drought. “In our opinion,” said the attorney, “we cannot borrow that kind of money ($14.5 million) or acquire it through equity financing with our present rates.” Below are listed present rates
