P}-Look out for the phonies
dressed up as servicemen.
They're taking advantage of
home front good will for real
servicemen.
They work a sweet racket this
way:
They see published story
about a serviceman killed, capt
ured or wounded. Then they
visit that mans family, pretend
ing to be his buddy.
They tell a cock-and-bull
story about the man overseas
and, for one reason or another,
try TO chisel cash out Of the
mans family.
Here's what the Federal Bur-
eau of Investigation (FBD says:
Wartime condition have pro-
duced a small army of imperson-
ators and other fakes who have
victimized citizens throughout
the United States.
Many law-abiding citizens
with a high regard for the serv-
ice uniforms of the United
States perform countless acts of
courtesy for men and women in
service every day.
when an occasional faker
turns up, he capitalizes on this
general attitude of friendliness
and warmth which people of the
United States have for the men
and women who are serving our
country"
Since June 30, 1912 there
have been 1850 convictions for
representations and illegal wear
ing of the uniform.
Here's an example of how it
works, then from an actual case:
A man in an eastern city read
in newspaper that certain
family's son had been wounded
in France. He dressed himself
in the uniform of an army staff
sergeant.
He visited the family, said he
had just been flown back from
Europe, that he had seen the
wounded man in Paris and that
his leg was badly mangled.
He told the family that the
man needed a special cast for his
leg or would be crippled for life.
He said the cast would cost $275.
He said the wounded man was
depending upon his family to
provide it for him.
The imposter volunteered I:
take the money back to Paris

Un-Americon
Committee
Gets Target

WASHINGTON, March 30
N-The Brookings- institution
recommended to the committee
on un-American activities today
that it investigate those who at
tack "the principle of the form
Of government as guaranteed by
our constitution"
In report to Rep. Mundt (R-
SD the institution added that
the committee should be mainly
concerned with the rights of in
dividuals assured by the consti-
tuition.
Mundt had requested the pri-
vate research organization to
prepare an analysis of replies he
received from scores of promi-
nent Americans asked to define
"un-American activities" Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosev was
among those who replied, but
her views were not made pub
lie.
Mundt is a member of the
new permanent House commit
tee on ',n-American activities.
The Brookings report laid
down what it considered the
consensus of the replies:
81. It is un-American for any
individual or group by force, in
timidation, deceit, fraud or brib-
cry to prevent or seek to pre-
vent any person from exercis-
ing any right or privilege which
can not constitutionally be de-
MED to him either by the fed
eral government or by a state
government.
70. 1t is unAmerican for any
individual to advocate, to con-
spire or to attempt to bring
about a change in the form of
government in the United States
without following the processes
p escribed for that purpose by
the constitution ..
IS. 1t is unAmerican for any
person (secretly) to conspire by
any. methods, constitutional or
otherwise to overthrow or at
tempt to overthrow govern
ment of law and to substitute
therefore q government vested
with complete discretionary
power.
~. II is unAmerican for any
person with the primary intent
to advance the interests of
foreign nation or association to
take action clearly and def
nitely against the interests of
the United States. -
IS. In time Of war or threat
ened war, it is unAmerican for
any person with the intent to
interfere with the successful
preparation for or prosecution
of war ."

Fifth Army front yesterday and
movements behind enemy lines

tor south of Bologna, but there
were no major changes in this

The Nazis were extremely

fire was light.
In the Monte Belmonte area,
a 20-man enemy patrol tried to
prod allied positions but fell
back quickly under fire. Fifth
Army patrols reported little con-

Despite poor visibility, tank
destroyers on the left coastal
flank scored II direct hits on
enemy dugouts and knocked out
several machineguns. There was
little but normal patrolling on
the Eighth Army front.

the processes involved in the
milk pasteurization work which

That report was strictly fact

was intended either by the

or by the newspaper.
To correct any speculation
upon the part of careless readers
it appears advisable TO stress the
fact that the phrase "a Mount
Clemens dairy" in no way was
intended to mean The Mount
Clemens Dairy; one Of several
milk plants in the city.
