SAY SENATORS
WAStilNGl'bN, June 11 —MB—
Investigating senators have pro
tested what they call "a waste of
physically fit manpower” in all the
armed services.
A spot check at IS Army, Navy,
Air Force ana Marine training cen
ters, a senate Armed Services, sub
committee said last night, disclosed
95,784 enlisted men and officers in
jobs or duties which non-combat
personnel could fill. It referred to
these men as a “chair corps.”
Chairman Lyndon Johnson of the
investigating group said “these men
represent a waste of physically fit
rpanpower which this nation cannot
afford.”
With the backing of his subcom
mittee in a biting report to the Sen
ate, he called for a sharp revision
of manpower policies in the Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marines.
The report urged that thousands
of Jobs now filled by "combat quali
fied men be given to less able bod
ied or “limited service” men, to
women in the Armed Services or to
civilians."

OIGSIMC SALMON EGGS—NOT GOLD
—IN SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA
Salmon is important to the future of Alaska. In an effort to perpetuate salmon
runs in Territorial waters, the Alaska salmon industry established the Univcr*
sity of Washington Fisheries Research Institute five years ago.
The University’s Institute is financed by salmon packers. It is an entirely
independent, scientific research organization. Working under the direction of
Dr. William F. Thompson, who is an internationally recognized authority,
ds-s Institute carefully studies the habits of the salmon. The objectives of these
studies are to promote the proper perpetuation and efficient use of the supply
of fish. The research program of the Institute complements studies being made
by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
These studies are supported on an annual basis by salmon packers of the
Bristol Bay, Westward, Kodiak Island, Southeastern Alaska and other districts,
who assess themselves a fixed amount per case of salmon.
Members oj the industry hat e allocated nearly a million dollars to the Institute
:ince it u as established at the University in Ji>46.

Big, isn't she?
Twenty-seven thousand, one hundred tons of fight
ing steel! But this aircraft carrier is only a light
weight compared to some of the towering dread
naughts that make the U. S. Navy the mightiest
in the world. Youir navy is in there slugging every
minute, doing its job to defend you and all of the
things you hold dear.
But remember, defense is your job, too! And one
of the best ways to do your job is to buy U. S. De
fense* Bonds. You’ll be helping your country and
at the same time you’ll be making the soundest in
vestment on earth today. For U. S. Defense Bonds
are as safe as America!
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense
Bonds you’re building a personal reserve of cash
savings. Money that will sume day buy you a
house, or educate your chilAen, or support you
when you retire. Remember, too, that if you
don’t save regularly, you don’t save at alL
So go to your company’s pay office—now—
and sign up for regular Defense Bond purchases
through the Payroll Savings Plan. In this plan,
you may save as little as $1.25—or as much as
you want—each week. If you can save just $7.50
weekly, in ten years you’ll have bonds worth
$4,329.02 cash! You’ll be helping protect America
—and helping your dreams come true.
*U. S. SAVINGS BONDS ARE DEFENSE BONDS
BUY THEM REGULARLY!
