The levy of enlisted men, altho the largest to date, did not strip the 44th to the bone, as some newspaper accounts had it. Altho Army officials refused to say just how many men were left in the 44th for security reasons, they pointed out that a full strength division consists of approximately 16,000 men. Farther, they said, the 44th has been kept at full strength for the entire time it has been at Cooke. Thus, simple arithmetic shows that there are still approximately 12,000 men, possibly more, left with the 44th at Cooke, including most of the officers who came with it to Cooke from Illinois when the National Guard outfit was federalized on Feb. 15.

The latest levy was only one of a series of such calls to duty tor 44th men. The first levies came in June, when batches of 200 men were being transferred in a regular stream, Largest levy last week was 2,400 men. Most of those who received orders will leave for furlough at home this Army officials said, before being sent to other duty. Many of them will be transferred to Fort Lawton, apparently a port of debarkation for Korea, while still others will go to Europe.

The Marine band realized that it must have trained Musicians to fill vacancies from time to time, and therefore, offered an opportunity to of nine and ten to study art, trade and mystery of music.

Wyatt told newsmen yesterday the mail received at Stevenson headquarters here recently reflected switches by independents to the Democratic presidential nominee, and he read the roll of examples. Wyatt pictured the switches as independent voters who have become disillusioned with Eisenhower and decided that Stevenson comes closer to representing the things in which they believe.

Great Disillusionment If I could put it in a sentence I would say that it had moved from the great crusade to the great surrender to the point that it was the great disillusionment with Gen. Eisenhower," he said, and I would say the word disillusionment runs through it more completely than any other word that we could use to describe it, based on the compromise, the shifts of position, the abandonment of principles that, before, they felt were emphatically held by him. Wyatt said independents are shifting in a vary major way to Stevenson because of their belief that he Eisenhower no longer renresents the principles that they thoueht he did represent."
