NAVY EASES ITS TESTS
Eye and Teeth Requirements for Reserve Are Lowered
Eye and teeth requirements for service in the Naval Reserve have been changed to make it possible for more applicants to enlist for active duty. It was announced here yesterday by Lieutenant William G Morrison, in charge of Navy recruiting at 67 Broad Street.
Naval Reserve applicants, who must be between 17 and 50 years old, will now be enlisted if they have “just sufficient teeth or suitable replacements to perform satisfactory biting and chewing functions.”
Under old methods of testing for vision the Navy required every applicant to read at fifteen feet what normal vision would read at twenty feet. Under the new system the applicant will be enlisted if with one eye he can read at six feet what normal vision would see at twenty, providing that with both eyes together the applicant can see at fifteen feet what normal vision sees at twenty.
Interesting clash in the post-Midway press releases. I didn’t think the Japanese admitted any losses, but here they are ‘fessing to one aircraft carrier sunk. Also, their claims of American ships sunk match what they actually believed. They thought each of their strikes sank a carrier, but it was just the Yorktown absorbing more damage. Yorkie didn’t actually sink until finally put down by the submarine I-168, along with destroyer Hammann. Wonder if they thought they got a third carrier once I-168 reported in.
The Americans, on the other hand, started their Midway claims low, then went a little nuts. It seems they added every claim of every unit as fact, without cross indexing. They also lied about the Japanese landings on the Aleutians, claiming they didn’t happen.
"In late May 1942, the London-based Polish government-in-exile got news from the Warsaw Jewish Bund.
The communication emphasized several points: the Germans had murdered 700,000 Polish Jews; it identified the sites of the death camps and contained a list of the places in which Aktionen were carried out; and the Nazis planned to destroy all of Polish Jewry.
On June 2 the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported the murder figure.
The Bund's calculation, however, was too low.
As the BBC aired the news that day, Poland's Jewish death toll actually approached two million.
"A second BBC broadcast on June 26 gave more details about the Bund report.
Three days later a World Jewish Congress press conference in London provided corroborating testimony.
Public reports in June 1942 about the destruction of Polish Jewry became what scholar Deborah Lipstadt calls 'a watershed in the dissemination of information regarding the Final Solution.'
"During the summer of 1942, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill vowed to hold the Nazis responsible for anti-Jewish atrocities.
Meanwhile, downplaying special efforts to rescue Europe's Jews, the Allies' wartime policy contended that winning the war was the best, if not the only, way to save them.
This attitude continued until the end of the war, despite late-1942 visits to Churchill and FDR by Jan Karski, a Polish gentile who had witnessed the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto."
