Lovett told a news conference that the countermanding order was sent October 7 by Secretary of the Army Pace. He said it instructed General Mark Clark to reinstate 36 points as the number required for rotation eligibility. The Far East command on September 17 raised the eligibility to- tal to 38 points. Lovett explained that the rotation system is determined monthly by the theater commander and that the basic factor is the number of replacements on hand or on the way. The secretary said the Far East command thought it necessary to extend the period of duty before rotation because there had been THE PRO-DRIVE- a temporary falling off of the number of replacements available for service in Korea. Under the point system, a combat soldier gains four points monthly toward rotation. This has meant that most combat troops became eligible for rotation after nine months of duty in the line.

Lovett also said that the army, navy and air force have completed proposed new budgets keeping the armed forces at their present strength of 3.7 million for another year.

History research experts for the Book House for Children report that Flemish merchants in rural districts were often forced to stop at crossroads hovels. There, they would sleep wrapped in their own cloaks and lying, on benches in a mean, crowded room. "Hotels circa 1000 A.D., did not furnish sheets because linen was too expensive and cotton in those days was virtually unknown in Europe. Blankets, when available, were invariably dirty and As a rule, mattresses were even worse and filled with lumps and lice. In fact, guests were kept so busy tossing and scratching they had little time to worry about trivial things like morning headache. In larger towns, the inns offered crude'' sleeping attics which were reached by steep ladders leading from the public rooms downstairs.
