a survey made by his association S
Legislative Committee shows that
there is large percentage OF de-

ployes in paying their accounts. due
to the fact that their salaries can
not be garnisheed.
The credit association indorsed the
bill MIR. Cronin said that the fact
that the Government employees are
such SLOW pay considerably in

credit business.

NEW YORK. March 25.-It is
simple for the cinema -goer to lay
his cash on the box-ofiice line, relax
in cushioned chair and thrill
vicariously to the scenes of his Army
in action on battle fronts the world
over.
II he notices the tagline, by the
United States Army Signal Corps"
the chances are Overwhelmingly
against his realizing, even in small
part, the tedium, the risk and the
artistry which is represented in
every foot of film. Yet. this is the
lot OF the Signal Corps efficient
Photographic contingent one of the
most dispersed units in the Army's
entire structure.
Combat coverage" is. indeed. a
casual-soundine phrase for describ-
ing the everyday routine Of the
camersman OF the corps, In spe-
ciflc terms it stands for three sepa-
rate functions; Obtaining films for
military intelligence. the historic"
motion picture narrative and the
actual combat sequence taken on
active fields of battle for study by
the War Department specialists in
combat and supply. Motion picture
film brings the war to these men
/ On the screen they are able to see
IN actual practice the doctrines they
have taught in peace and in train
ing camps. They are able to dis
cern errors and to plan improve
ments.
Correct Errors.
! As one general officer stated. sue
cesses are self-evident and do not
require photographers to prove
them. Errors are not so apparent
and when shown on the War De-
partment screens enable us to cor
rect them and bring the training of
new men to the highest state with
the ultimate in modern tactics"
The Army photographer must be
equally skilled in each phase of the
Job. He may, for example. be sta
toned in the Caribbean area, at
present"a relatively auiescent thea
ter of war Here he NAV be en-
gagged in cataloging airfield or bar
, racks construction. Should. how
ever. his station suddenly become

be his immediate duty to grab his
