THOUSANDS
QUIT TING
EVERY
YEAR
By WILLIAM 8. NEAL
international News Service

Declaring that $1,000 deserters Of
the regular Army are roaming the
country, Representative J. ]. Nc
Swain Cd of South Carolina. q
member of the House Military
Affairs Committee, today la nched
a campaign to remedy the situa'
tion.
Calling upon the War Department
to submit a plan to Congress TO
lessen desertions, McSwafn asserted
that il the military authorities did
not solve the question Congress
would be forced to act.
"The stigma of desertion has been
placed opposite the names of over
$1,000 young men who have re-
sponded to the call Of service in the
regular Army and viii remain there
unless removed by act Of Con.
gress," he said.
Something Wrong"
There Is something wrong when
thousands of our regular soldiers
desert every year, while at the
same time the Army is flooded with
applications of men wanting to be
second lieutenants.
"The military mind assumes that
the way to cure the situation is to
use measures Of extreme rigor, but
this has not brought about cure.
l contend that it should be worked
out in some other way so that
young men will be glad and anxious
to remain in Uncle Sans service
instead Of deserting at the first OPP
portunity.
There Is a psychological condi-
ton which explains this condition,
and ! think that those in authority
owe it to the manhood Of America
to bring in soma program to Con-
gress to remedy the situation"
While McSwain was criticizing
the record. Army officials were
pointing to a decrease in desertions
in the last few years. One of the
greatest factors in reducing deser-
tions. Army officials said, was the
authorization of a better ration.
Few Are Captured
The records submitted show that
desertions ttoaled 6.07 per cent in
1925; 7.26 per cent in 1925 and S.S1
per cent in 1928.
While a reward Of $50 il offered
for the delivery of a deserter to an
Amy post, there are 5000 who de.
serted in 1926 who are uncaptured,
$500 from 1927. and 5000 in 1923!
Because no travel expense to mil.
itary posts is allowed, it is said
that many sheriffs who pick up
deserters let them go.
After a deserter remains uncap.
tured for three years, he can get
a "a deserters' discharge" from the
Army. which is neither listed as
honorable nor dishonorable.

clear.
At the white house today 1t was

had been suggestions in the press
that Mr.. Hoover wanted to turn from
foreign to American valuation as Z
basis for rate making.
It was stated he made no such pro-

was legislation to enable the treasury
to meet certain specific cases Of eva
