Reinforcing the suggestion In our
Issue OF Nov. for a law to protect
the uniform by furnishing severely
any civilian impersonating a member
OF the Services by wearing a govern.

at Denver Colo. In the Republican
of that city: Such cases are com.
moner than generally believed. , Our
Navy Is manned by a fine force OF self.
respecting Americans. and II is unfair
That the men In the Service should
be forced to suffer for the actions of
men who, more than likely. never
were In the Navy at ali. Practically
every man We enlist Is a graduate Of
grammar school. and one man out
OF hve Is high school graduate. The
TWO cases We have had In the last few
weeks In Denver are merely examples
OF what Is going on all over the coun.
try. In California a man recently i'm.
personated a recruiting ofiicer and de.
irauded the citizens OF San Jose out
OF thousands OF dollars. This inner.
sonating business has gone 80 far
that stringent preventive legal meas.
nres should be made available"
