Soldiers Discharged
 For 0ffenses Cannot GefRetords Changed
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Some of the saddest of men must be those who years ago in some youthful folly caused themselves to be dis charged under a shadow from their nations armed forces.
 Service files bulge with some of the most pathetic letters ever writ ten pleas that the writers be allowed somehow to clear tn r names, and perhaps once again serve their country. Here are some extracts from letters sent to the Marine Corps:
 The first is from a man who drew bad conduct discharge in 1929 after being convicted of theft.
 Since that day I have felt like a convict he wrote, and when 1 see the Marines on parade it makes me feel like there is something gone, especially when a man was proud to wear the uniform of the Marines as I once was and am still proud that I wore it.
 sir, isn't there some way can show you that I am worthy of an honorable discharge? Don't you think that I have paid enough for something that I swear I did not know I was doing wrong? Can't you see how feel? Won't you consider my case and see if you can help me?"
 This is from man who walked out the gate of the Washington Marine barracks in 1924 in civilian clothes, leaving his uniform behind.
 T want to clear my conscience,

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON sLt. Col Robert S. Allen now on activ' service with the Army0

WASHINGTON of the most potent and effective Hobbies in Washington is now operating quiet ly backstage to put the GI Bill, hest legislation ever passed by Con- gress for the benefit of war vet crans.
 The lobby is a combination of mortgage banks and building and loan associations, now pressuring to increase the interest rate on loans to veterans for building homes, also to make the Government guaran- tee all these loans so there will be TO risk to the bankers.
 Here are the details of what they are driving at. Section 500 Of the CT Bill has an excellent provision whereby the Veterans Administra- ton can lend money to help vet erans build or acquire homes at an interest rate of per cent, with the Government guaranteeing 50 per cent, or up to $2,000.
 Section sos then provides that veterans may get second loans from private institutions with the Gov ernment guaranteeing only 20 per cent. The interest rate on this second lean il is s'1o provided, saall be ose per Cent ta&1sionai, or q tosal of per cert
 Howeser, the Nasiona. EoMine Adininistrati.a and the veteraeg Administration are being lsessure1 by the mortgage lobby to read intc section 5O5 Government insurance of the entire second loan. Also the pressure boys want to raise ths interest rate to per cent.
 Hitherto, the building and loan companies did not go in for in- sured loans, but now bloc o1 leaders in the industry advocate

ARMY RAGING AFTER NAzIS IN BRITTANY

 Fastest Advance
By YVES GALLAGHER

SOMEWHERE IN BRITTANY. Aug 3.-This has ceased to be a battle and is race, with the Am- erican Army moving forward per- haps faster than any army in this war. It is almost impossible to keep up with the front.
 Daylight can follow the trail of battle along roads across Brittany, a trail of burning wreckage, tanks. 88 guns. and horse-drawn vehicles, but never seems quite able to catch up with the front line.
 A large force is on the move, not just tank columns and dough- boys, but maintenance units with munitions, fuel, food supplies, and other services. Everything is rush. ing into Brittany, though moments lost can never be replaced.
 There is no pause even for greet ing the local populace, which stands at every village front and every farm, hurling flowers. The inhab- itants of Brittany are much more demonstrative than those of Nor mandy.
 French Are Guides
 The advance has been speeded by the fight of the French in the interior, who rush lead columns and report where the Germans are stationed. They offer themselves as guides.
