Army Units For Iceland,

Gen. Marshall Urged Dif- ferent Force Be Sent 10
 Occupy Island Area

WASHINGTON, July Is. - Gen. George c. Marshall, Chief of Staff, Department of War, disclosed today that he told Congress that specially trained army units instead of ma rines should have occupied Iceland but he was prevented in doing this because of difficulties presented in the one-year draft service rule.
 General Marshall made the state ment in testimony given before the Senate Military Affairs Committee on July 9 in support of legislation to permit of retention in service of selectees and National Guardsmen for longer than one year.
 Trained army units could have been sent to Iceland, said Gen Marshall, provided the selectees and National Guardsmen could have been kept in service longer than the designated period and could become thoroughly trained to take up the slack.

Crank Quiz Keeps Saboteurs
Out of U.S.. Army, Defense Plants
Psychology Gives
300 CUES tions
In New Test
(By Universal Servlcel

WASHINGTON, March by
putting a scientific finger daily on
hundreds of dangerous cranks and
crackpots, modern psychology is
playing a little publicized but most
important part in the national de-
tense program.
Every day in army camps and
factories engaged in defense pro-
duction. prospective draftees or
Job applicants are asked 10 sit
down and answer a long list of
seemingly innocent and aimless
questions.
Typical questions so asked may
be:
"Does worry keep you awake
nights: DDcs riding I'm an eleva-
tor make you nervous: DO you
have a good time when you are
Mt n party: Do you sometimes
feel like talking hack TO the
boss Does a pretty girl make

Find i. :. Draft
MoreCompIete
Than Canada S
Serve Shorter Term,
Must Volunteer for
Any Service Abroad
BY WALTER HERMAN
IntI News Service stan Correspondent

MONTREAL, Que, March L.
Compulsory military service in che
United States at peace is sitter
than in Canada, at war.
Uncle Sans soldiers have been
loaded on transports and shipped
to Newfoundland foreign land
That could not happen in Canada,
where a soldier cannot be sent out
of the country unless he volun-
teers.
In the United States, draftees
are taken from their homes and
their occupations for a year of
training. They have no guarantee
where they will or won't be sent.
CONSUMPTION in Canada is much
less drastic although the nation is
at war.

Ist Draft for Month

were called for only 80 days serv-
ice-one month as contrasted to II
in the United States. Now the
term of service has been length
ened to four months, but it is still
considerably less than the training
period for draftees in the United
States. The new term has been
tentatively slated to begin March
20.
For overseas service, Canada
still depends principally on volun-
teer enlistment. There has been
no thought of sending draftees
abroad and they are specifically
protected under the terms of the
training act from being sent
abroad.
Canada at war has not even mo-
bilized its full army of regulars
and reserves although federaliza-
ton of the national guard in the
United States is in full swing and
many units are already in training
or definitely dated for training.
Recruits Volunteer
The Canadian department of ma
tional defense within the last few
days issued a bulletin on recruit
ing, one of the points of which was
that in the mobilization of reserve
units, only men willing to under
take active service will be mus
tered in.
The famous Black Watch has
one battalion in active service and
two on reserve and even if a mo-
biliZation call comes it is expected
that one battalion will still re-
main on reserve.
Canada has an army on the field
in England but its strength is not
public.
Figures made public in Novem-
Der by the government gave the
Dominion at total of 100000 men
in active service (active service is
service in the Dominion as we'll as
overseas) and reserve of 100000.
The air force, counted sepa-
rately. numbered $4,000 men. ac-
tive, for a full strength of 265, 900.

Rewntfee, whose job it is to super
wise the psychiatric examination of
draftees. The report shows that
among volunteers in 1910 who
were not so carefully examined
before acceptance, 10 per cent
became psychiatric problems after
reaching camp.
Significant also are figures from
the New York City army induction
centers. These show that of 1890
men who had been passed by their
local draft board doctors. 100 were
rejected at the induction centerS
as neuro-psychopathic cases. Of
these, % were actual idiots, imbe-
Giles or moronS.
An outstanding example of care
full sitting of job applicants is
furnished by the Lockheed Aircraft
Corporation. every one of whose
$4,000 employees must pass an in
genious and grueling test devised
by Doncaster C. Humm and Guy
w. Wadsworth Jr., specialists in
job psychology.

Army Guarded

Identical procedure is being fol-
lowed to keep the draft army free
of individuals with hidden cranial
quirks. While a bent-brained SOL
der is not in a position to cause
as much property damage as a
nitwit loose in an airplane factory,
he is still anything but an asset
TO national defense. This was DEM
onstrated during the World War,
when examining doctors weren't
so particular. and many chronic
psychopath got all the way to the
firing line.
Nothing like that is going to
occur in the present emergency if
the army has its way. Today GOO
psychiatrists siiin= bi-weekly con-
ference with 6.523 draft board
physicians.
Hundreds of psychopaths are
thus weeded out before induction
The rest are subjected to another
psychopathic examination after
they get into uniform, which
eliminates still more.
AS training proceeds, officers
and army doctors continue to
watch for any marked signs OF
mental unbalance.
If symptoms warrant. the draftee
is again examined and, quite fire.
uuently, mustered out.

Hughey Accused
As Tax Cheater

Two indictments charging in
come tax evaSions amounting to
S2S. 700 were returned Saturday
by the federal grand jury against
James L. Hughey, owner of the
Detroit Eagles basketball team,
and operator of an automobile
agency at 1880 Joseph Campau
avenue.
The indictments con t al n six
counts and allege that Hughey
evaded personal taxes in 1886 and
made false returns for his COM
pany in 1885 and 1886.
In 1886 the government charges
HugheyL had a gross income of
S66, 7l5 and a net income of $685.
l79 and should have paid income
taxes of $14,462. Instead, it was
charged, Hughey stated his net
income was only S34,027 and paid
only S4,3l1 in taxes.
The Hughey Motor Sales Com
pany in 1895. the government de-
.clared- had a net-ineenae- of S42,-
1875 on which a tax of s., sol should
have been paid. The company how
ever. paid only 1878 in corporate
+ taxes and in 1886 likewise failed
to pay So26l tax. it was said.
r In 1888 and 1886, the govern
ment further charged. the conn.,
pany failed to pay excess profits
amounting to about S7.433.
Hughey was reported in Florida.
II convicted on each count of the
indictments, he faces a possible
30 years prison sentence and $780,
600 fine.

as the final gauge of the appli-

By Jack Fiske

My wife went to the grocery
store to buy pork chops. "Why,
I can't pay that much" she said.
MY husband is class c. He
doesn't make the kind of dough
it takes to buy your chops. He
is just a third rate inspector,
the lowest in the shops"
"That makes no difference in
the price," this noble butcher
said. Get his classification
changed or he, may as well be
dead"
Now I am one who enjoys
the life the richer people lead.
I want money to spend it, not
hoard it in my greed. I'm just
a c class inspector and that to
my notion, is lower than the
things that lie at the bottom of
the ocean.
Dear Tommy, please change
my rating, raise me by ten per
cent. Place me up with the
chosen people SO I can pay
higher rent. I want to eat pork
chops, the same as the technical
men. I can't pay yith a five
dollar bill when the grocery
ma nwants ten. Toolmakers
and electricians are wiser than
me no doubt. But why should
they eat pork chops, while I
must 60 without?
Everything in the world goes
up, soaring every day. Every
thing in the world goes up,
everything but my pay. I don't
need all the money made in
our local shops. I don't want
all the money, ALL / WANT
IS THOSE CHOPS.
