Custer TRAINING
First Of Kind

PIafoons Take Turns
in Playing Enemy, Act
as Court Of lnquisition
Time. star Correspondent

FORT CUSTER, Jan. 21.-Tak-
ing prisoners of war is nothing
new at Custer. Daily a detail Of
MPs picks up Germans" "Japs"
and "Eye-tees." One even nabbed
a "Vichy Frenchman." He couldn't
decide which side he was on. They
had to let him go.
The capture of prisoners is part
of a training course established
here-the first in the United
States Army.
1t was evolved to expedite the
handling of prisoners. Half of q
Iplatoon takes turns being enemy
while the other half processes
them under simulated war condi-
tons.
LINGUISTS ASKED
To assemble this group of spe-
cialists, all army camps were
combed for linguists. In demand

In combat the men will operate
as a court Of inquisition close to
the front lines. Prisoners are not
slated to be squeezed for military
information. That's the work of
army intelligence. What this group
will be after is the where were you
born, the name of your parents,
wyhere did you 60 to school and
how far stuff. And also a photo
graph.
The data will be filed in Eng
llish on a card as the prisoner is
hustled back to a prison camp. 1t
will be used to aid the Interna-
Itional Red Cross and for other
measures.
COLONEL'S BABY
The Custer school is the baby Of
Col. Joseph V. Dillon, MP COM
mander.
Dillon wants his class to become
so adept that each man can process
a prisoner a minute.
A Kraut will then be put
through the quiz faster than he
can say Adolf Schickelgruber.

What | Want

In return for all this valuable
Information about bread. all L
want you TO tell me Is how to
slice bread straight. At our
house we have only two ways OF
slicing bread:
A-So thick that II won't 90
I'm the toaster, and
B-Thin enough 80 that IL
goes In, but just thick enough
30 we can't get IL out again.
IL anybody will tell me how to
slice bread right. I will promise
To say something nice about
mm the first chance I get.
We also have promised TO say
something about the Jalopy
Roundup that is nearing its
climax Saturday, starting at
100 p. m, Bagley avenue will be
full of jalopies from Cass ave-
nue. TO Grand Circus Park, and
IL you want 10 see how torching
crews cut these old rattlers 10
pieces, that is your chance.
A little while ago we printed
a picture Of one of the fastest
torching crew captains In De-
troit. Harold Boyd Of Consum-
ers Scrap Iron.
Immediately this department
received a letter from Richard
w. Scaife OF Ferndale. who
asked why concerns will let
high speed fire ball like Boyd
perform his work without some
protection for his eyes? II Will
take only one Of those sparks to
put an eye out"
Well. Mr.. Scaife. I gave your
letter 10 Ray Harrington, and as
a result a rule has been added
for Saturdays torching contest
making goggles compulsory.
Boyd always said he didn't like
TO wear them, but he is wearing
ngoggles now, to get in practice
Tor the contest. and likely will
keep on wearing them. Some
times il pays to mention such
things. See what your letter
did?

JOB OR SCHOOL?

This weeks Successful Parent
hood co'nmn was prepared by n
g4est edi.or.l
A serious problem many parents
are facing these days is the offer OF
a full-time Job that a son or daugh-
ter in school receives from nearby
drug stores, restaurants. candy
shops. or other places where In
experienced help can successfully
be employed Employers are often
forced into Offering these jobs TO
children Of school age because the
armed forces ana war industries
have claimed almost all Of the peo-
pie usually employed in such
places.
This problem becomes doubly diff
fcult for the parent when he re-
calls COR when the child recalls the
fact for hin) that in normal times
IL has been considered sound train
ing for school children TO accept
and even seek part-time employ
ment.
Despite this fact the responsible
ity for the decision is directly up
70 the parent and must be based on
a long-range viewpoint rather than
on an immediate appeal to the

many are accusing each other of
having secretly murdered many
thousands Of Polish officers. tCon-
sidering Germany's record in Po-
land during this war. their case
looks pretty weak Such offenses
against decency are about as low
as the human can reach. and now
we have the spectacle Of a great
and supposedly civilized-nation. Of
fcially acknowledging that II has
broken. and intends 10 continue TO
break, the one law Of decency which
even the wild hordes which periodi-
cally overran Europe were wont TO
observe. These fiendish warriors Of
a bygone age didn't hesitate 10 wipe
out a civilian population. but they
usually respected the life Of a uni
formed soldier.
Experience with Germany dur
ing the last two wars has taught US
that the life or death of the enemy
civilian doesn't mean much to that
nation; but they have-at least OFF,
cially-respected the laws which
protect the prisoner Of war. While
il is doubtful il Germany herself
would descend to the depths Of mil
itary infamy to which Japan has
now dedicated herself-it is shock
ing TO read Of her approval Of Ja-
pans execution Of the American
aviators.
AS to that deed-no nation at war
ever made a greater tactical mis-
take. That act drove the cold steel
Of determination deep into the soul
Of every one Of one hundred and
thirty million Americans II it takes
US twenty years we will make that
nation pay for the lives OF those avi-
ators, and the spirit OF friendship
which we once felt for Japan, and
which would have returned in the
course of normal events, is dead.
This act will create dislike in the
mind Of every child who reads his
American history for just as long as
il is recorded in that history.

TODAY AND TOMORROW

Washington. D. c. tNWNS)-As
result OF the battle between John
L. Lewis and President Roosevelt,
il looks as though 4 new system
for wage increases VIII evolve
which viii save everyone's face but
add billions Of dollars TO the ma
tional income and increase the
threat Of imitation.
Although the Little Steel" for
mula for wages, which limits wage
increases TO Is per cent more than
they were before the war, will prob
ably be kept in force as part Of the
Presidents "hold-the-line" order.
the coal row has pointed the way
for getting more money for work
ers without violating that formu-
la. The new system Is to give
labor a guaranteed increase In
working hours at time and a half
pay.
In the coal industry, for exam
pie, where the miners were work
ing 35 hours a week at an average
wage OF 81 an hour. they will prob
ably now be guaranteed a six-day,
or 42-hour week, with the last sew
en- hours at time and a half. Thus
the miner who earned $35 a week
will now be assured Of earning S45.50
@ week.
Theoretically. there is nothing
much TO complain about in this new
arrangement. For, although II gives
the miners more money il also
guarantees the nation greater pro-
duction of coal But since the chief
danger Of imitation lies in greater
purchasing power among the peo-
pie. IL the new increased hour for
mula becomes general the difficult
ties OF curbing imitation will be
greatly enhanced.
The manpower shortage is en-
couraging the adoption of this new
formula In the steel industry, for
example, Paul McNutt, head Of the
Manpower commission. without any
pressure by the union, ordered that
steel workers must be employed
The Coolidge examiner., 1943-05-14

for at least 48 hours a week. His
aim was not TO increase labor 5 pay
but to release steel workers for
other industries in which there are
acute shortages Of men. But TO the
steel worker who has been averag-
ing 40 or IL hours of work a week,
and Is now to be paid for an addi-
tional seven or eight hours at time
and a half. this ruling means
virtual wage increase Of 80 per
cent.
In the mining industry. If the
mines are turned back to private
owners and the six-day guarantees
Is included In the miners contract.
II will probably result In an in
crease In the price of coal. In other
industries, II similar increase
based on hours Is worked out. il
will result in other price rises in
consumer goods. Farmers may
then demand higher prices and the
cost Of food will also rise. Thus a
vicious circle Of price rises may be
brought about
In general, II Is agreed here that
the President did q good job IN
handling the coal strike. Although
no one knows whether his appeal to
the miners would have produced
results II John L. Lewis hadn't or
dered the men back to work, his
promise that he wouldn't let any,
thing or any individual interfere
with war production was reassur-
ing. There are some here who OBJ
ject to making any concession TO
Mr.. Lewis by guaranteeing the
miners longer hours. But the ma
jority see Il as q means Of assuring
ample coal production from now on
and consider that the one thing OF
immediate concern.
There Is. however. bitter feeling
here against John L. Lewis and
there are many who feel that he
should be severely punished for
his willingness to let war produc-
ton be stopped rather than drop
his efforts TO get more money for
the miners.

statement can be accepted without
much disagreement
But parents are often misled into
the stand that the war forces the
children to take such employment
and that to have them DO otherwise
would conflict with the national war
effort.
Actually such is not the case.
While II Is true that school children
are being modified in some sec-
tlons Of the nation for work on the
farm during vacation periods. man.

Ever since history records. there
have been laws-wriiten and un-
wriiten-to cover the conduct Of
war. The mos; recent group Of
laws was drawn up at Geneva in
recent years. and among the sign
ers was Japan. These laws-with
q few supplements-were more or
less a resume Of the decencies
which have for centuries been GUS
tcmary In civilized warfare-h we
can call any warfare civilized.
One Of the very fundamentals
which has been observed in war
fare 10 the protection and proper
treatment Of prisoners OF war" :"
The reasons are obvious and many,
bu. Of outstanding significance Is
the fact that the soldier is under
orders from his superiors. He Is
not bis own master. and II has
never been considered reasonable
that having been ordered into bat
lie he should be executed when and
II captured.
With q spy 1t has always been q
different matter. A spy volunteers
for bis work and when he is in
enemy territory he Is fully aware
Of his fate-k captured-which the
recognized laws Of warfare decree.
War II horrible enough as 1t is
without adding to its frightfulness.
Try to imagine the results IL every
military prisoner was slaughtered.

Tar of every civilian who fell into
TIE hands Of IN enemy both at the
beginning Of the war and during

Of bestiality that its human popula-

PERSONALITIES
IN RHYME

There ence was a lad named
Yerger
Who really loved his hamburger
He attributes his health
And his abundance of wealth
To the fact he was once a sheep
herder.
There was once a gal named
Marg ,
Who fell for a guy plenty hard
She raved and she ranted
And poor Joe he painted
Keeping pace with that gal
named Marg.
There once was a chap named
McGrath
Who often did rise in his rath
He was all out of sorts
But I bring you reports
A redhead now has our Nc
Grath.
We now have a teacher named
Salyer
Whose hair is redder than "yal-
yer"
He teaches us history
And keeps us in mystery
That gentleman we call Mr.. Sal
yer.
There once was a guy named
Slough,
Who makes up the Big Horn
IIUW.
He sometimes makes mistakes,
Then there's really some hot

Between the journalism class
and Slough.
