thought the best passengers were members
of the armed forces back from the fighting
fronts. These men are 50 glad to be home
alive, he said, that they are invariably courte-
Gus, modest and friendly.
On one occasion, he saw soldier who
walked with limp give up his seat to
woman passenger Only the MP knew from
seeing his papers, that the man was home on
sick leave after being wounded in Sicily.
"A FEW weeks ago on a West Coast train an
excited woman ran up to an MP. There's
Japanese spy in the next car" she exclaimed.
Hes waving Jap f1ag.'
When the MP investigated he found big
American sailor entertaining our-year-old
boy with Japanese flag which he had taken
from scuttled Jap vessel in the South Pacific.
MP's are instructed not to engage in un-
necessary conversations, just as they are for
hidden to drink, sleep or read while on duty.
but they are required to treat all civilians
with courtesy. That often entails answering
many questions, listening politely to old
ladies who want to talk about their own
sons or grandsons in the service, shifting
luggage opening windows, holding babies
and ministerng to the sick.
Day after day, in all parts of the nation,
railroad MP's are not only supervising mill
tary personnel, but also helping tralnmen deal
with the many emergencies which arise in
handling wartime hordes of civilian passen-
gers The courteous young men with crossed
pistols on their collars can be counted on to

owes much to these MP's and there is one way
in which we can repay that debt. Overcrowd-
ing is their greatest headache, just as it is
the gravest problem of the railroads. Joseph
B. Eastman, Director of the Office of Defense
Transportation. told me recently that right
now the nations freight and passenger trans
nortation facilities will be confronted with
all-time peak demands. Those demands must
be met or the war effort will suffer.
We can all give the MP's a break and make
a vital contribution to national defense, II
we observe one simple rule: Skip that train
trip unless it is absolutely necessary!
The End
Evening star., 1943-10-24

The MP's keep a
hawk eye on such po-
tentially dangerous sit
uations. If disorder
gets beyond control,
they are empowered to
deputize other soldiers
to help quell it, but
they prefer nipplng a
quarrel to stopping a
riot. Their aim is to
keep the soldier out of
trouble and, if he is al
ready in trouble. to
keep him from getting
in deeper.
That this aim is be-
ing achieved is proved
by the fact that there
are yerv few disorders
Evening star., 1943-10-24

J.. Don't travel at all unless
you have to. You may keep a
tired G.I. out of seat.
z. Don't make trips during
week ends. That's when more
soldiers are going places than at
any other times.
3. Don't carry any more bag
gage than you have to. If a SOL
dier offers to help you with your
bag, lady, that's swell, but don't
expect them to serve as pOrters.
4. Don't daily over your chow
in the dining car while hungry
soldiers wait. Some people are

cope with any crlsls
from a club-car argu-
ment to a train wreck.
They work very hard.
On many trips they
are responsible for the
good conduct of as
many as 800 troops.
Most of them did
not choose their un-
glamorolIs jobs but
were chosen for
them. They would
prefer to be with the
fighting forces, but
they are good SOL
diers and know how
to perform their
duty wherever it lies.
The travelling public

on trains and less crime than in peacetime.
The Provost Marshal Generals office states
that during a recent period of four months,
only one soldier had complained of being
robbed on a train. The railroad confidence
man has become as extinct as the plckpocket.
Even petty baggage thefts are rare.
Civilians Heed Them
j HE Army MP's have no jurisdiction over
civilians, of course. yet there is no question
that their presence on trains has restraining
influence on all concerned.
One MP, who had travelled more than
$4,000 miles in six months, told me that he
Evening star., 1943-10-24

tram. car by car, as the MP's advance.
Finally, against the door of the baggage car,
he turns and makes a confession, often
adorned by an alibi about sick relative.
Drinking probably causes more trouble on
trains, the MPs agree, than any other one
thing. Ninety-nin out of every 100 service
men are sober and behaved, but in an
Army of 1000 900 it is only natural that
there should be some exceptions. When a
man shows signs of getting drunk, the MP
first gives him warning. Usually that works,
but if it doesn't the MP and his teammate
act quickly and efficiently. If a bottle is the
source of trouble they conhscate it and de-
stroy the contents. If the offender proves
extremely truculent. they whisk him out to
the platform to avoid scene.
All MP's are trained in judo, which enables
them to subdue rough customer without in
turing him. They never use their nightsticks
except in desperate cases. The .45-caliber
pistol which every MP wears at his belt is
always loaded but he is under strictest orders
never to draw it unless he intends to shoot
Rush Hours
ON SOME trains serving big troop centers
there are certain periods of the day which
MPs call hot spots" These usually occur
in the late afternoon or early evening. Men
may hop off the train and come back with
bottles A civilian, more generous than WISE
may buy too many drinks for soldiers IN the
buffet car. A pair of girls who already have
Army escorts may make the mistake of
casting their winning glances at the Navy.

An Mp's Advice TO Civilians

finding it smart to carry their
own rations when they travel.
S. Don't bore the C.I. next to
you by telling him all about your
cousin Oscar who has just been
drafted.
s. Don't offer a soldier a drink
or ask him to roll the bones with
you. You might get him in the
clink.
7. Don't get huffy if you
happen to be a girl just be-
cause a soldier smiles at you, but
don't make eyes at more than
one at the same time either.
