The
army
has
hit
the
50.000-mark
to
become
the
first
of
the
three
services
to
reach
Its
manpower
target
under
the
three-year
defence
program
which
still
has
nearly
two
years
to
run.
Cabinet
has
authorized
the
army
to
recruit
beyond
50.000
and
the
defence
department
says
the
intention
is
to
go
right
on
recruiting
as
fast
as
qualified
men
come
forward.
The
complete
picture
doesn't
look
too
rosy
for

many
special

men
may
leave
the
army
In
the
next
month
or
two
when
their
18-months
of
service
are
up.
Chances
are
between
2,000
and
3,000
special
force
men
back
from
Korea
will
elect
to
become
civilians.
This
will
drop
the
army
manpower
total
below
50,-000
again,
but
not
too
far
because
new
men
are
coming
in
fairly
steadily.
.
Of
the
original
10.000
volunteers
for
the
special
force
in
1950.
2,500
have
been
discharged.
Another
2,500
have
turned

The

many
of

remain
Mr.
Pouliot,
frank
in
confessing
that
his
main
reason
in
hurling
questions
and
accusations
was
the
fact
that
he
considers
Messrs
Green
and
Fulton
were
unnecessarily
skeptical
and
unkind
in
past
years
when
the
bill
came
up
for
CNR
to
buy
the
Temlscouta
Railway.
.
First
witness
to
get
caught
in
crossfire
was
E.
W.
Fairweather,
CNR
vice-president,
who
unable
to
provide
statistics
himself
was
informed
by
Mr.
Pouliot
that
the
CNR
has
three
times
as
much
railway
per
capita
In
B.C.
say
prospects
for
a
healthy
number
staying
in
uniform
are
good.
The
three-year
defence
program
envisaged
a
total
defence
force
all
three
services
of
115,000
by
the
spring
of
1954.
No
breakdown
of
this
was
ever
given
publicly
but
the
department
privately
broke
it
down
Into
50,000
for
the
army,
45,000
for
the
air
force,
20,000
for
the
navy.
At
the
end
of
March,
the
navy
had
13.500,
the
air
force
32,600
and
the
army
49,300
for
a
total
of
95,400.
The
army
passed
50,000
a
few
days
ago.
When
Korea
started,
the
overall
total
was
47,000
including
20,500
in
the
army,
9,500
in
the
navy,
17,000
in
the
-air
force.
When
the
three-year
program
started
last
year
thv
forces
had
66,500,
including
10,600
in
the
navy,
34,500
in
the
army
and
21,300
in
the
RCAF.
Thus
the
forces
more
than
doubled
since
Korea
and
grew
nearly
50
per
cent
since
start
of
the
three-year
program.
The
army's
lead
can
be
attributed
mainly
to
the
decision
to
recruit
the
27th
Brigade
for
Europe.
This
added
more
than
10,000
men
shortly
after
the
program
was
launohed.
