Lodge Holds Increase
In Grants 10 Families
OF Servicemen Vital
Senator, in Forum,
Foresees Drafting of
All AbIe-Bod Men

An increase of Is per cent in the
Governments contribution to de-
pendents of servicemen is essential
to meet the rising cost of living,
Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts said last night in an
address delivered on the National
Radio Forum, conducted by The
Evening Star and broadcast over the
Blue Network from Station WMAL.
Asserting that "a continuance of
this war will compel the drafting
of all physically qualified men re-
gardless of their family status"
Senator Lodge emphasized that
Government must be liberal with
dependents.
Our armed forces amount to
something more than 7 per cent
of our population, as contrasted
with armed forces for Russia. which
are almost per cent, and of Ger
many. whic hare more than II per
cent of their respective populations,
Senator Lodge said.
Sees Duty to Dependents.
This is figure, therefore, which
we can meet, but in order to meet
it we probably shall have to call
every physically qualified man." he
stated. Discussing his bill to in
crease Government allowances by
is per cent, Senator Lodge said, in
part:
I'VE can try to reach the man
with no dependents who is now
exempted from the draft without
good reason.
There has been some talk that
in the Federal Government. men
were exempted from the draft be-
cause of their employment in the
Government. To meet this situation,
I drafted a bill which passed the
House and Senate and was signed
by the President and is now law,
which prevents service in the Fed
eral Government from being used
as a device to evade the draft. This
type of legislation is helpful to
fathers because as long as men who
are not family men are being called

law was enacted. He cited the act
of Congress in raising the pay OF
Federal employees.
If you look at the monthly re-
port Of employment by the United
States Civil Service Commission,
Senator Lodge continued, you will
see that the average monthly salary
as of March 81 of this year has in
creased 1874 per cent over the salary
paid in June, 1912. In June, 1912,
the average salary was s160.l1 and
March 81 it was $18477."
He pointed out that in his home
State the number of cases of aid to
dependent children had increased
from 80 to 446 in year, attributable
to the fact that their fathers had
gone into the service. What is true
of one State, he added, Is undoubted-
ly true of others.
Senator Lodge emphasized that
never in the whole of human his
tory have men been willing to fight
II they were worried about their
loved ones at home. History is full

we'll equipped and ably led, yet did
not fight because they were worried
about conditions at home. The wife
and children Of the soldier have a
first claim on our affection.
If the war continues-and we
must expect that it will-these men
with dependents will be called. To
provide for them now is merely to
exercise common foresight. AS was
well said recently by the Lowell Sun,
Particularly is this so because be-
fore the year is out, 1t is possible
that many men with families and
dependents, who have been hereto
fore exempt from the draft, will be
In the armed forces
This 10 no time to pinch pennies
and make the families of service
men the victims. 1t is not fair that

a parent. wife or child, should be

ing for local public welfare"
Evening star., 1943-06-10

the amount to be paid to the de-
pendents of soldiers. The law now
In effect was enacted in June, 1912,
and the rates prescribed in that bill
have not been changed since that
time. My bill calls for an increase
OF Is per cent in the amount OF the
Government contribution to de-
pendents only of enlisted men"
Senator Lodge said his first rea-
son for seeking the increase is the
rise In living costs since the original
Evening star., 1943-06-10

into the Army, the calling of fathers
is postponed.
What else can we do for the
family man? Well, We can see to
it that If he is drafted, his wife and
children receive proper support
from the Government. We not only
can see to it-I should use stronger
language-we must see to it. 1t is
a duty. 1t is a humanitarian cause
to make sure that the dependents of
these men who fight for their coun-
try shall be properly cared for.
1T is for this reason that I de-
cided to introduce bill to increase

NEW YORK PORT OF EN-
BARkATlON - Between the
time soldier leaves his training
camp and the time he steps
aboard transport for his voy-
age overseas TO war, a lot OF
things happen 10 him that up
10 now have been restricted in
formation. Soldiers weren't per-
mitted TO write home about
them. But recently. so perfected
has this routine become that the
Army Service Forces permitted
a group of newspaper CORES
pondents 10 inspect the whole
show in the New York Port of
Embarkation area, so as 10 tell
the folks back home what hap
pened 10 their soldier after he
left camp.
The whole job of moving the
troops is handled by the Army
Transportation Corps When a
given unit is ready for overseas
service, the Troop Movement di-
vision of ATS gets letter from
the War Department, setting up
a shipment. The shipment is
given a code letter and number
by which it is known thereafter.
Thirty copies of this letter are
then made TO send TO all the
agencies around the port who
need 10 know that this troop
mover nj mas been scheduled.
