suggesting something that might

you. There are many hundreds
of colored people who have mi
grated from the South 10 seek
work In war industries. Now that
these war industries are being
closed down. many OF these col
ored workers will not be able TO
find jobs elsewhere because, for
the most part. they may not
have the proper training or skill.
Thousands of them went directly
from the farms.
"Clarksdale and Coahoma coun-
" are la a position to give en-
ployment 10 many OF these col

work. for the most part. on the
farms, where they will be pro-
yided with substantial earnings,
home. fuel and water. and
where they will be afforded free
dom OF opportunity and a mild
climate that is ideally suited 10
them. Coahoma county could use
probably 5000 colored farm

'EM and WaCs 'Over 40 May
 Get discharges

According to a recent amend ment to War Department Circular 125, enlisted men over the age of forty may receive discharges from the Army. Wacs who have been on active duty for one year or more may also request discharges.
 Originally, WD Circular 125, dated 25 April 1945, included only men over the age of forty-two and did not include the WAC. Another amendment to the circular states: commanders will be permitted to retain for ninety days any indi viduals (men over forty who have not yet reached their forty-second birthday) for whom a replacement is not available at time he requests discharge.

UnintentiOnally, the BEAM stated in it's story on men be- ing discharged via the point system in last weeks issue, that Clifford Mccarthy had re- ceived 57 credits for 57 months in Army service. Since service credit is only given for the period between 16 September, 194O, and 12 May, 1945, Me earthly received only 56 points which is the most that could be credited during the time limit.

Redeployees Arrive!
Press GiVes
 Redeployrnent Big CoVerage

Bradley Field played host last
 Tuesday to the largest number of
 press representatives ever to enter the gates of this Base. Approxi-
 mately 63 military and civilian re- porters, cameramen, photographers and radio men covered the initial arrival of combat crews from overseas flown to this country.
 The press arrived at Bradley throughout the morning from such points as Boston and New York. At HOO a press conference was held at the Courts and Boards building during which the mem bers of the fourth esttae were in- troduced to public relations officials of this Base and to It. Col. Walter Brown of the First Service Com mand. Major Joseph Campbell, As sistant PRO of Bradley, addressed the group and was followed by Capt. Elliot Arnold of the Con- tinental Air Force. Capt. Arnold is author of "The Commandos" and the newly published book "Tomor- row Will Sing" which is available at the Base Library. Before the conference was finished a phone call warned the gathering that the first plane had arrived, which re- suited in the quick demise of the meeting while photographers rushed to the line to get photos of the first arrival and reporters hur-

Processing Goes Fast

Processing Goes Fast
 Upon arrival at the Base, the men and their belongings wei e shuttled from their aircraft to Hangar 2, the receiving hangar, in busses. At the hangar they passed through the Customs inspection and turned in their flying equipment. From the hangar they were trans ported to barracks in the Skunk Hollow section of the Base where they had dinner, washed up and were given the opportunity to phone or telegraph their homes. The second phase of processing took place at sections of the Sta tion Hospital. Here the returnees passed through Processing Head quarters, were given a physical

A moment later they were sur- rounded by photographers, report CTS and radio men, all eager to get their first reactions on returning to the States. Within an hour the scene was reminiscent of Reception Center days with CTS and their luggage piled up in heaps outside the hangar doors. Red Cross Club mobile workers passed among the men, handing out coffee and "sinkers" while group of Bradley Wacs, wearing brassards labelling them as guides appeared on the scene. Within a few minutes after the arrival of the first crews, these girls were hard at work answering the questions of the eager re- turnees, aiding them in getting ad- justed, helping to lug baggage and just being admired by everyone present for their willingness to do all they could to make the men feel at home.
 Only casualty of the day: A Gus toms man who tripped while exit ing from a truck but soon brushed himself off and was hard at work checking B bags, musette bags and things in general.
 Race to Bradley
 Surprise for many of us was the good humored competition that ap- parently exists between the crews of the various planes both within their own groups and between the men oi the B-24s and B-17s. As each crew pulled up to the receiv ing hangar in busses, their buddies who had arrived before them would make loud remarks about the slow

 The first men to arrive completed their processing in time to avail themselves of the NCO Club, Base Theater and dance at the Rec Hall. The group that arrived on Tuesday left the Base by rail on Wednes- day for the staging area at Camp Myles Standish, near Providence, where they will receive further processing. From Myles Standish they will be sent to the Reception Center nearest their homes from
