Soldiers With 3 Children
Gain Releases December /

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
soldier with a big family will be
eligible to get out of the Army
after Dec. 1, regardless of his point
score.
The war department announced
today series of notifications to
the present discharge system, in
cluding reduction of point scores,
which it is said would add 783, 900
men and women to the number
eligible for release.
BY Dec. 1, the Army estimates
it will have either discharged or
have eligible for release approx
mately 100000 men. This figure
will include more than 100000
actually discharged and 1,483, 900
eligible for discharge.
This will mean that Of the $780,
900 men in the Army on We Day,
3,3OO,OO0 will be in service. The
Army, however, is larger than that
because of inductions and enlist
ments.
Men with three or more depend
ent children under 18 years Of age
willie eligible for release. Length
| of Sc, ce doesn't matter. Previous
| ly, 12A oints were allowed for each
child up to a maximum of three.
The new point score for enlisted
men will be So, instead of the
present 60.
In addition, a colder with four
years of honorat e service can ask
for discharge regardless of his

CLAIM HIGHEST COURT
MARTIAL RECORD IN LIBIA

MONROVIA, Nov. 16 (ANP).-
The court martial record of Negro
soldiers stationed at Roberts field
is perhaps the highest in the army.
Hardly week passes without three
or four general or special courts
martial and the excuse of being
caught "off limit is used to give
men six months or more.
Native villages are raided in spite
of law, and their people beaten up
by fierce M. P.'s GI's declare. This
camp, the only Negro headquarters
in the army, resembles convict
camp such as was Georgia during
the days of Queen Elizabeth, SOL
diers say.
''The Negro public should beam
it's interest on Liberia, whose
sovereignty is now in the balance,
while we have become ambushed
into a scheme of criticism of Lii
IBERIA, even though the enemies of
her freedom are now closing in on
her." said one soldier. The scheme
apparently is to make the Afro
American here hateful (by repres-
sion) toward the country, thus cut
ting off our sympathy for this
struggling nation in our desire to
get away from one of the worst run
army camps anywhere overseas.
It is expected that the situation
in Liberia will be given a full inves-
tigation and publicity

west AFRICAN COUNCIL
ESTABLISHED FOR COLONIES

LONDON, Nov. II (ANP)-The
colonial office has announced that
a decision has been reached to es-
tablish a West African council. The
hope is that such an organization
will give greater cohesion to gov
ernmental efforts in West Africa
and establish a greater sense of
unity.
Colonial Secy. George Hall will be
the chairmen. The four COVER
nors of the British West African
colonies, the governors Of Nigeria,
Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and Gam
bia will be members. Headquarters
will be maintained on the Gold
Coast. The first meeting is scheduled
for January. The idea grew out of
the governors conference held
shortly before the war. Investing
these with more formality and
giving a definite tie-up to the colo
nial office in London will develop a
body which can compose many of
the colony differences, it is felt.

bef of last year.

an1ined the x-rays, said the num-
Der OF cases was In keeping with the
low prevalence expected In the is
to 18 year-old age group. Each stu
dent has been notified Of the results
of the x-ray and warned that X-rays
should be repeated at least every

out of 81, 400 persons examined. This
Is about one case In 100 and so per
