hoard in stormy seas from the
| American troopship Marine Dev-
il en route from Seattle to Chi-
! na with occupation troops on
February 18.
Names of the soldiers are be-
ing withheld until their families
have been notified.
Captain Carl Christiansen —
master of the Marine Devil —
said the two men fell from the
deck into the storm-tossed sea.
One of the men floated in the
water with a life-ring. But he
slipped through the ring and
sank before rescuers could
reach him.
Christiansen said he ordered
more life-rings thrown into the
water and swung the ship around
But he decided that to lower
lifeboats into the rough waters
would have endangered the lives
of the boat crews.
Christiansen made his report
last night when the Mariiy Dev-

A Message from
President Truman
It is of the utmost importance thai the Ameri-
can people understand the status and signifi-
cance of our new Regular Army. It will lie
the duty of this volunteer Army lo help pro-
tect the freedoms and maintain the peace wc
have won at so great a cost.
Atomic power has increased rather than
decreased the necessity for our preparation,
hoth in manpower and material. In the
coming atomic age, the I'nited States must
maintain its military strength —to insure
our national security and to promote
world order.
Such prav e responsibilities nln iour-lv can-
not be met by anything less than the high-
est caliber of men. For this reason. I asked
Congress for legislation to increase the op-
portunities of the soldier in the Regular
Army. This legislation has been passed and
signed by me. and is now in cfTcct.
In serving his country, a man can now get
good pay, education, travel and securitv -
with family allowances for his dependents
and a new 20-year retirement plan th.it com-
pares with or excels anything in American
industry. These, and the main other advan-
tages of the new Regular Army, should be
made known to all our service men and their
families.
The Army has embarked upon a world-
wide campaign to enlist enough men so
that, in demobilizing, we shall not strip our
services below the peacetime need. It is
imperative thai public- support be given to
this program. Wr must replace as soon as
possible men who have served long and
arduously, and uho u ish to return to civil
life. \\ e must aUo build an \rtnv <if volun-
teers adequate to all our requirements — at
home and abr< ad—unt 11 the I« uig-range peace
terms and military policies are worked out*
I hope that every indiv idual and group
will give earnest and enthusiastic co-opera-
tion to this great effort to rebuild our Regu-
lar Arm v. 1 he success of this campaign is
vilal to the performance of our tremendous
task of securing the pe.e e
