WASHINGTON, Aug. 15—(AP)—At least 7,000,000 men in the armed services will be returned to civilian life within the next 12 months, Reconversion Director John W. Snyder said today.
Snyder predicted that within the next several months the demobilization rate will be stepped up to 500,000 men a month. The current rate is 170,000 a month.
His estimate of 7,000,000 men to be discharged during the next year apparently applied to both the Army and the Navy. President Truman calculated last night that 5 to 5½ million men could be released from the Army during the next 12 to 18 months.
