Soldiers, Underpaid,
Resent ROOseyelt'S
ForcedLabor Camps
Blame Administration
for New Wage Cuts
fBy a Soldier Correspondent

tBy a SOluleT Correspondent
PEEKSKIL, N. Y.-The enlistment
Of thousands of young workers into
the "Reforestration Camps" h S
aroused a strong feeling of resent
ment among the enlisted men in the
Army-resentment, not against these
young workers, but against the adj
ministration that has brought it
about. They feel that the admins
tration, not content with cutting their
pay fifteen per cent on top of the
cuts they had already received
dropping of re-enlistment bonus,
cutting of clothing allowances, etc.
has rubbed in by taking on Civilian
soldiers" who will be paid more
money than the regular soldier.
Worse than this is the realization
that the regulars" through these
cuts are paying the expense OF this
Civilian army"
Even before his pay was cut the
enlisted man was underpaid. The
nav of the Private" was $21 per
month. Out of this there are many
things that he Is forced to pay for,
such as laundry Casually So in the
U. s. polishing materials, uniform
pressing and upkeep, miscellaneous
items Of clothing not issued; in some
places, milk, and other items bring
his pay down, SO that after he has
paid for his movie checks he Is a
fortunate soldier who had S. to So
left. Some find at the end of the
month especially if they have over
drawn their clothing allowance, that
they owe the government money!
Army officials and Journals them
selves admitted that the men were
undergrad
The past few months have been a
record of cuts for the soldier. The
first that was felt strongly was the
stopping of the enlistment bonus
whereby the soldier received bonus
Of $75 by re-enlisting. This SIS was
the thing that caused most OF the
men to re-enlist previously. At least
it gave them enough to have few
good times" before they went back
to the monotonous grind. Now they
are faced with the prospect of being
| forced to re-enlist because OF the
starvation conditions on the outside
without the benefit Of this bonus
that they have so well earned. This
cut was blamed on Hoover.
The next big cut was the fifteer
per cent reducing the privates' pay tt
$18-and this couldn't be blamed or
Hoover. 1t showed up too well thu
sameness of policy of both the Re
publican and Democratic admins
trations and served to break dow
the confidence" that publicity hat
built up for Roosevelt.
Then, right on its heels, came tn,
Civilian armies" which are making
the soldier really bitter.
| And now comes initiation, which
will mean nothing else but furthe
cut in another guise. Many a sol
dier says, sIt looks as though the.
will be asking us to pay dues for be
longing to this army soon, for tn
privilege Of working for them!"
Now Is the time for class-consciou
workers to realize that the soldier i
also q worker, and at the presen
time is having class consciousness
forced upon him. Class-consciou
workers can and should do their ut
most to clarity to the soldier his posi-
ton in the present system and why /
is necessary for soldiers to organic
and fight their conditions.

13-Year Old German
Girl Writes About
Fascist Rul lie

NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-The fol-
by relatives here from 13-year-old
girl in a small German town. The
letter is reprinted verbatim, except
for the name of the town and of
the Nazi leader, which are sup
pressed to protect the writer and
her family.
Dear sisters and brother in-law:
Let me tell you, in Germany, and
especially in the neighborhood OF
Stuttgart, things are happening
Tine Hitler bandits come to Com
munists and look through their
apartments, if they have arms
Father is a Communist, but they
have not come to our town yet.
But they will come here too. To-
day a big swastika was put on the
city hall and a flag-black, white,
ana red. k is the Nazi leader
here, every day he puts out his
swastika flag In this town there
are only 283 Nazis. 1 suppose you
know what Nazi means, they want
q Kaiser again and the Communists
want work, freedom and bread
From the Kaiser, we won't get any
thing to eat. They want to play
soldiers, the bandits. And now
they even put Communists and So
cial-Democrats in Jail. Tonight, I
buried fathers Communist button
in our garden and burnt everything,
calender and everything, so that
they won't find anything when they
come"

CROSBY STANDOUT
 CHOICE TO WIN WILEY ENCOUNTER
ColOrful High School Con-
 test at Hamilton Park
 Tomorrow

"WeIl be in there from start to finish" That, dear readers, was the long and short fo Coach Jim- my Lees pre-game statement in relation to the annual Crosby-Wil- by football encounter billed for to. morrow morning at Hamilton park at 10 a. m. After all, there was not much left to be said, for Will by will enter the game with about one chance in six thousand of win ming it, all statements to the 0Cn- trary withstanding. Most of the ball carrying that gets anywhere vii be done by Devino and Pere- zewski, 8 freshman and sophos more.
 Ankle Injury
 Crosby'S effectiveness was reduc- ed bit yesterday afternoon when Vincent Renzo twisted an ankle that will hinder his kicking to a great extent, and limit his time in the game to a pair or periods or so. Renzo will be strapped up by Tom Knowles so that he can make some sort of showing. but will not be used full game. Mistura, how- ever, is back in the line and Neu- bert has been shifted to end in Mulligan's place. Dave Bartolini is expected to do plenty of ball carry ing for Crosby.
 Officials for the game will be the same trio who have worked the Crosby-Wilby encounter for the past several years: Dr. M. A. O'Hara of this city, as referees Eddie Hart of Cheshire as um~ pire. and Merwin Grove of Rox- bury as head linesman.

HILL LEADER OF
 1884 DARTMOUTH 1 1

Hanover, N. H., Nov 29.-(UP) George Franklin (Jack) Hill of Littleton, veteran triple threat halfback, has been elected captain of next years Dartmouth football team. While he starred as a running back with the 1892 team, he has seen only about 60 min- utes actual service this season be- cause of a leg injury.
 He is the first backfield man to win the honor in five years and one of very few natives of New Hampshire to lead the team.
 The captain-elect is president of the junior class, treasurer of the Greenkey, junior honorary society and membre of Delta Kappa Ep- silon fraternity. A student in pre- medical school major, Hill for a time had considered dropping foot ball to devote his time to study.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-11-29


 His resignation came after series of attacks which was cli- maxed by an editorial yesterday in the Daily Dartmouth, student publication, which demanded his removal and appealed to the ath- letci council to engage coachess who are not necessarily Dartmouth Alumni.
 Cannell has been head coach at Dartmouth since 1929 and was re- engaged for a three-year period af- ter the 1891 season.
 In his letter of resignation he said: Believing it to be. under the circumstances, in the best interests of Dartmouth college, l desire that the contract under which l am engaged to coach foot ball at Dartmouth be terminated may be considered by the athletic at as early a date as the matter council"
 Weak Finish | Its seasons record shows that Dartmouth won successive games from Norwich, Vermont, Bates and Pennsylvania, tied Harvard and lost to Yale, Cornell, Princeton and Chicago. The Chicago de- feat, 39 to o, was the worst suf- fercd by Dartmouth team since 1921 when it wa drubbed by | Cornell, 59 to 0.
 The 1892 season was considered equally disastrous, the team hav- ing lost all four major games.

GROVER WHALEN WILL TEST THE
 PICKET RIGHTS

New York, Aug 26-UP)vGro- yer Whalen, city chairman of the MIRA, intends to institute test case to determine the right of strikers to picket. he announced to-day. Whalen said he believed the right to picket even in an or- derly manner had been suspended by the MIRA program because anti trust laws have been held in abey 'ance. Whalen requested Chief Police Inspector John O'Brien to arrest a communist picket so that the local MIRA organization could use 1t as q test case. Whalen be- lieved that the charge against such a picket would be "disorderly in- reference with the NRA."
 Inspector O'Brien said the police believed any interference with the MIRA was in the nature of con- spiracy against the United States. He said arrests will be made when evidence is available. Communist agitators picket New York stores Whalen said. He exhibited "a copy of 6 circular distributed by com rnunist industrial unions.
 Let there be no illusions about the recovery act helping the work er," the circular said. The Roosc- velt-Wall street program does not mean >to relieve us from distress but is the agency to put over a permanent lowering of the stand ard of wages and of living"
 Whalen said the communists were interested primarily in cre- ating class s-consciousness and not in defending the rights of the workers.
