RED CRo5S SET TO AID ARMY
 IN DISCHARGES
Big Job Lies in t8O,OOO Men to Be Released
 by Christmas Time

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. - Red Cross chapters throughout the na- ton are preparing to aid the Army this fall by Investigating be- tween 25,00O and 10000 applica- tions for discharge from military service, Robert E. Bondy, Admin istrator of the Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces, reported here.
 An important part of the tradi- tional Red Cross aid to the per- sonnel of the armed forces, these investigations will increase as a re- suit of the release of 10000 sol- diers from service before Christ mas, MT. Bondy said.
 The national organization is strengthening the home service de- partments of the 3,720 local chap ters, he added. The administrative staff of trained workers who assist the chapters conducting the home service program has been more than doubled in recent months, to- taling 40 persons sta tion d throughout the Red Cross three administrative areas.
 Added Example
 This increase in Red Cross home service work is only an added ex- ample of the vast expansion in all Red Cross aid to the Nations armed forces MT. Bondy de- clared.
 The Red Cross is obligated by it's Congressional charter to act as the link between the military forces and the folks back home. To &C., complish this task the Red Cross has had field directors stationed in military and naval stations and hospitals since 1917 and is now assigning directors to cover new stations as opened.
 These men are trained to serve as advisers to soldiers and sailors with social or economic problems When service mans family is involved in the problem, the home service department of the local Red Cross chapter forms a liaison to bring about an effective solution.
 Check on Dependency
 Requests for the Red Cross to check on dependency discharge ap- plications are referred by com manding officers to Red Cross field directors stationed at each camp, who in turn refer the requests to the home town Red Cross chapter of the soldier. The chapter, aided by cooperating social agencies, makes the investigation and re- ports back to the commanding of ficer through the field director.
 MT. Bondy cited figures for the year ended June 30, 1941, to il- lustrate the magnitude of the heav- fer duties being thrust upon chap ters. In those l2 months, he said, chapters handled only 18,000 of these investigations. compared with the 25,O00 to 4O000 anticipated be- tween now and Christmas.
