racial discrimination.

4oSAa1 d4oCl ullllldUlUlls
Representing many different faiths
and many occupational and social
backgrounds, the C. OS had one
thing in common: They had def
mite reasons for their presence in
camp. With few exceptions they
were not reticent about expressing
them. Representatives of the Selec-
tive Service Board who accompanied
the group to the camp attested that
their views were not recently ac-
quired and had not been conjured
up to suit the present emergency.
All had been thoroughly investi-
gated before they were certified as
"conscientiously opposed to partici-
patton in either combatant or non-
combatant service" because of their
religious beliefs.
Carroll ONeill, "a, of Baltimore,
one of the more articulate members
of the group and probably typical
in his views, is a Quaker. He at
tended Loyola University, gradual
ed from Johns Hopkins in Baltimore
and was teaching mathematics in
the Baltimore public schools. when
his number was called.
ITO put it briefly, I am opposed
to war because I don't believe in
settling disputes by force" he ex-
planned.
Robert c. Dodds, %, of Montclair,
N. j., son of the Rev. Leroy Dodds,
secretary of the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions, had SYM
pathetic feeling toward the British
from IA years of personal acquaint-
ance at the missionary post near
Delhi, where he had spent most
of his life to date. Nevertheless,
he was opposed to participation in
a war effort which he was con-
vinced would accomplish nothing of
lasting benefit
For Proctor Twicnell, 26, of
Greenbelt, his place in the C. I. o.
ranks was as natural as eating or
sleeping. The son of a Presbyte-
rian minister, he signed the oxford
pledge not to participate in war
while at Amherst College, where he
graduated four years ago, and
means to keep it. At home his
father would not even permit a
f1rearm in the house. He became
interested in co-operatives and was
house manager at the Greenbelt
theater when his number was called
recently.

BY BEN HI. PEARSE.

In an abandoned c. c. c. camp
beside the Patapsco River, about a
mile west OF the Baltimore pike and
less than a dozen miles from Fort

service men are receiving military
training. the first camp ever estab-
lished in this country for conscien-
tious objectors to war was opened
yesterday.
Arriving shortly before noon, the
first contingent of % men, mostly in
their 20s, unloaded their suitcases
and after light lunch set about
making themselves comfortable in
the barracks bordering the quiet
stream which meanders through the
Patapsco State Forest.
In outward appearance they diff
fered little from hundreds of other
young men, who yesterday were re-
porting at posts throughout the Ma
ton for military service. They were
q healthy, clean-cut lot, without a
fanatic among them, and laughed
and joked as they washed dishes,
peeled onions, made up hunks and
busted themselves making camp
habitable for the year of what most
of them described as constructive
service" to the Nation.
No Race Discrimination.
