Dogs ioAid
Armed Forces
$4,000 Canine
Pets Sought

NEW YORK, Aug. 11-(P)-
Uncle Sam wants $4,000 dogs
for his army, navy and coast
guard.
Dogs for Defense, Inc, New
York City organization with
branches in all parts of the coun-
try, was named the Collecting
agency by Maj. Ken. Edmund B.
Gregory of the quartermaster
corps. who decided upon the ex-
pension following good reports
on the original sentry dogs.
Under the new set up the de-
Tense group will obtain the dogs
and will turn them over to the
front Royal, Va, quartermaster
depot where a corps of amateur
and professional trainers from
the army remount service will
school them in their military
duties.
Unframed dogs as we'll as
trained ones will be accepted.
Almost the only restrictions
specific by General Gregory
are that the dogs be between one
and five years old, stand 18
inches high 1T the shoulder and
b neither gun nor storm shy.
Harry I. Caeser, president of
dogs for defense, estimated that
there were /" 100000 dogs in
the country and that his organi-
zation woulC' have little diff
Guilty in obtaining the required
number. He said that shortly
after Pearl Harbor the Army
made request for dogs in Ha-
wall, where the dog population
is 1900, and got 1000 re-
sponses.

Congressman Hits
Commissions Given
to PLayboy Scions

WASHINGTON, Aug. LIP
- Disciplinary action against
Army and Navy brass hats"
who authorize commissions for
"playboy scions" from wealthy
families was suggested in the
house yesterday by Representa-
tive Coffee (D-Wash).
THE most egregious example
of laundering on the part of the
brass hats" Coffee said, "is that
of giving a commission to Hor-
ace E. Dodge of Detroit"
(The Army has given Dodge
a Commission as major.)
Coffee said this instance was
not isolated but typical of this
reprehensible practice"
What kind of morale can we
build by giving honor to those
among us who are most un de-
serving?" Coffee said.

MORALE RIDES THE
HIGHWAYS

Loneliness and boredom are the
two dreaded enemies of men under
arms. Recognizing this fact, Ameri-
can communities, organizations and
individuals from coast to coast are
constantly striving to provide the
companionship and entertainment
needed by our men in uniform. Out
standing morale builder is the USO
whose continuing efforts in behalf
of the soldier and sailor on leave
are well known. Less publicized
but also vitality important is its
work with the guard units in iso-
lated places who can't get to town,
can't reach the USO clubs. The
USO reaches them through its mo-
bile service division.
From Canada to Mexico on the
west and from Maine to the Florida
Keys on the east, thousands of men
keep 24-hour vigil against the
approach of an enemy. These men
are scattered in small detached
guard units along both coasts, in
fox holes" along the sandy beach
es, in cOves and bays and rocky
promontories and on islands near
our shores. They serve with anti
aircraft and coast artillery batter
les and also in observation posts
for the quick detection of ap-
preaching enemy planes or ships.
Detached guard units are also sta
toned rear bridges, arsenals,
docks and other centers requiring
armed protection against sabotage.
In response to the needs of these
men, the USO launched its mobile
service division in the weeks fol-
lowing the attack on Pearl Harbor. !
