The fifth district Congressman from Naugatuck, former compensa- tion commissioner in this city, stated he had read newspaper ac- counts of four state sports writers including John A. Cluney's of this paper, and could see no reason why the GAG should refuse such sanc- tion, adding that it seems to him that Walter B. Spencer, CIAC sec- retary, should immediately recon vene the membership of that state group and reconsider their action.
 Congressman Talbot went on to say:
 If it is true that CIAC stated that the Red Cross was a pressure group, then this is an insult to the American Red Cross, and to every red-blooded American. If the Red Cross is pressure group, then it is one organization that is exerting its pressure in the right direction.
 T am today wiring Dr. Alonzo Grace, of the State Board of Edu- cation, asking him to reconsioe-' this matter and to exert all influ- ence on GAG. I am also notifying the National Headquarters of the American Red Cross here in Wash ington of the action of GAG, and its refusal to sanction what I con- slider to be most worthy cause.
 "These boys of high school age should he allowed tn Darticinota in such a noble cause.

They are probably t..e boys who will save the hides of the very membership of CIAC."

|RIENTATION-This week a NOR
ale yard-stick is presented to you
for evaluation and self inventory
of your morale. Perhaps the
meaning of the word morale may
not be clear to you. Morale, the
foundation of the efficient SOL
dier, is an emotional force that
causes superior coordination when
closing with the enemy. This
mental condition is present in the
soldier, only when the four gen.
eraI attitudes are well developed
These general attitudes may be
regarded as a morale yard-stick
and they are as follows: zeal
the additional interest and force
that causes you to do any job
well; discipline the prompt,
cheerful obedience to lawful or
ders; self-confidence-the belief
in your ability to do any task in
a superior manner and last, sat-
isfaction with your army assign
ment-even though your assign
ment is not your choice, your
willingness to master your job and
make the most of it, is an indi-
cation of the presence of this i'm
portant attitude.
After a careful appraisal of
yourself, applying this morale
slide rule, you can determine
