Soldiers 10 Receive

New Plan Worked Out
By Army and Bar Group
To Help Solve Problems

Plans to provide free legal aid to
all soldiers, worked out between the
Army and the American Bar Asso-
citation, of which George Maurice
Morris of this city. is president, were
announced last night by the War
Department.
A legal assistance officer, who will
be qualified commissioned officer
and licensed practicing attorney,
will be appointed at each Army post
to help soldiers whenever needed,
the announcement said. He will op-
crate under supervision of the staff

is available and will be assisted by
volunteer civilian lawyers from
nearby communities. These assist
ants have been designated by their
State Bar Association committees
on war work
The civilian lawyers will repre-
sent soldiers in cases which must
be handled in civilian courts.
Soldiers overseas will also bene-
fit by the plan when, in the dis
Cretion of an overseas commander,
it may be advisable to establish such
an Office, with such notifications

conditions"

The new gratuitous legal service
Should not be considered as charity
but entirely as service of the same
nature as medical, welfare, or other
similar services provided for military
personnel" the announcement said.
Cooperation in the program will
be offered through the District Bar
Association, of which Paul B.
Cromelin is president. The Com
mittee on Legal Assistance of the
local bar is headed by William R.
Jichtenberg.
The War Department said the
quality of legal advice the soldier
will obtain will usually equal that
which he could get as a civilian in
his own home town. Outstanding

a majority of the Ways and Means

The committee measure, like the
other proposals, would provide for
a 20 per cent withholding levy, would
offer no cancellation of past levies
but would give taxpayers discount
for paying past taxes and getting

But unless the group in between
the two proposals swings collec-

of several substitute plans may be
adopted.

Sailors Union Offers

Would Train Women
For Every Job on Ship
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, March 29-If the
CIO National Maritime Union has
it's way, American women soon will
"go down to the sea in ships"
Hoyt S. Haddock, legislative rep
resentative of the CIO Maritime
Committee, disclosed an NMU plan
for training women as we'll as men
to be sailors had been presented the
War Shipping Administration.
Mr.. Haddock discussed the plan
yesterday at a conference on prob
lens relating to women in war work
The proposed training, he said
would include instruction in al
things pertaining to the work of 9
seaman, whether on deck, in the
engine room or in the galley.
The union official said that before
Pearl Harbor there were approx
mately 300 women employed as
stewardesses on large merchant
ships, but they were replaced by mer
with the entrance of the United
States into the war.
The course of training for women
proposed by the NMU would include
an efficiency rating which, he said
would break down discrimination
against women for any work aboard
ships, since their rating would es-
tsblish their ability to do the job
assigned.
Mr.. Haddock declared there was
no reason why women could not be
trained as seamen for any work
that man could do from ordinary
deck duties to navigating
"The 'seamanettes,' with mer
who are not eligible for the draft
could take the places of mariners
called for combat duty, under the
NMU plan," Mr.. Haddock ex.
planned.
