and since men will continue to be inducted through Selective Service, about 100000 can be discharged by the end of the year, the War Department estimates. Of these, about 45O,O0O will be released un- der the W.D.'s continuing policy of discharging men whose use to the services has been impaired by sickness, wounds, age and similar factors. Another 1,3OO,00O will be returned to civil life on the basis of impartial standards recom- mended by the enlisted men them selves" That means that "those men who have been overseas the longest and have fought the hard est and those who have children" will get first consideration in de- mobilization. About half of these men are in the ETC, about one third in the Pacific, and most of the others already in this country, under the policy of rotation, the WD revealed.
 The majority of combat troops who are scheduled for transfer to the Pacific will get furloughs in the US. and possibly additional training here. Most Service troops and some Air Force personnel probably will move directly to the Pacific and Asia.
 About 20 divisions, constituting the newly-formed US. 18th Army, are earmarked for the job of polio ing and occupying Germany.
 Those men in the ETC with high scores under the Consolidation Plan "point system," who are de- clared surplus" in their theater and who are eligible for discharge on their return to the US. if they are found to be unessential to the Army as a whole will have first call on getting out. But they will have a low priority on available transportation. First will come the movement of troops and equipment into action against the Japanese. Then will come our own wounded and freed, prisoners of war.

THE CHAPLAIN
 Writes :. Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve
Joe Blows His Own Horn

Dear Gertrud:
 I don't see why you have to be jealous of our Wac friend here. She's fine kid and only see her eight or ten times a week. She works over at the motor pool like do and drives a jeep. She took me over to see the swell new Wac's Service Club the other evening, but that was just because i wanted to see the place and not because i wanted to go with her. And i'm sure told you her name, you've just forgot. .s. :. >&
 They put me to driving one of these big trailer buses here. They wood be alright if they wood make the street corners about twice as wide. On some of the curves here i can look right in the back of the bus i'm driving. Of course that is slight exaggeration.
 been getting long alright ex- cept the other day i sure was en- barassed. stopped at stop sign, one thing they taught me to do in drivers school, and when got ready to go the car in front of me just stayed put. This finally got me peeved and i honked the horn at him. That was alright except the horn stuck. It was right near headquarters and the horn was bowling fit to wake the dead. Maybe it did because lot of officers and GI's came running out and kept yelling at me to turn it off like as if wasn't working my head off trying to. Six or eight fellers was trying to help me and principly getting in the road when this Wac came driving up in her jeep and with a little flip of something or other the thing stopped. We all sure felt foolish, can tell you.
 They had a mothers day and VIE thanksgiving day service at the chapel last sunday. A lot of the fellers are coming out to the serv- ices and they all say they are com ing back. This beeing real busy again a round here has it's good and it's bad points. expect you can guess what the bad points are, but it really is good to have more com ing out to the chapel services again. Pm sure glad they have got this chapel here because the chapel services sure help all of us that go to them after we have had a busy week.
 Your busy? PFC Joe.

Strolling Through
 the Ranks .

 you last week but the news of VIE Day and the explanation of the point system pushed us off the press. We'll take back seat any time for news like that.
 Ye old arithmatic came into it's glory all last week. Never saw so much addition. We did little add ing ourselves but couldn't find enough points to buy a pound of lard.
 We've seen things grow but never have we seen anything jump from little to big like ''C" Squad ron. Major M. F. Schwartz is at the helm; on his right is It. A. A. Perlman, on his right It. H. R. Miller, on his right, of course, First Sergeant w. E. Wilkins, and on his right and left, he has many big and little Sergeants.
 To you new fellows:-This Base is new to you and you are strangers in and about the nearby towns. We hope you'll like this Area and we hope this Area will like you.
 Rev. Wright and MT. Burden are among the many fine people that you should meet. These gentlemen are at all times willing to help you solve many of your problems.
 Dance mites at the Canteen are Wednesdays and Fridays. The Can teen, however, is open every nite.
 If you think the wolves were prowling a few days ago, you should hear the bowling now. Bet ter latch on, you older boys, or you'll be walking alone.
 We see that Pfc. E. Lee has put down his fatigues for class "A". To the Office, no less.
 Pfc. Dorsey still has that new groom look. Next to acquire it will be Pfc. Alton.
 If redeployment permits, we have the makings of a first class ball team. Take a look, Pfc. Erwin.
 We'd like to welcome, among the many, the wives of S/Sgt. Ford and S/Sgt. Tabor.
 A week ago last Wednesday, history was made when these words were spoken, 'This is the Service Canteen of Hartford" With careful and conscientious effort our director, MT. w. R. Burden, secured fifteen (15) minutes of air time over WHIT to sponsor program for the awarding of a birthday present to Pvt. Jim Petty. Unfor- tunately for us, but fortunately fer Pvt. Petty; he was away on fur tough and was not therefore able to speak to his better half on the person to person call. He won as a birthday gift, a trip to Birming- ham, Ala. However, the interviews by the announcer with the host esses, among who were Arlene Cardwell and Juanita Harris, and the CTS, Steve Moderator" Nor ris, Louis Erwin, Willis Tabor, Ira Holiday and others, afforded pleas ant chatter covering some of the many reasons why they think the Hartford Service Canteen is the best in the good ol' LISA.

One thing we must admit, that the new lads are some smart step pers on the waxed surface.
 For instance, Cpl. Dominic Pa tana from Westbury, L.I. Dom is a cook who really loves to mess around with foodstuffs, and always comes up with a dish strictly from Page Eight. And he's some pump kins with those pumps too. Never executes the same step twice, the while he pours forth voluble flow of batter that's pure Gothamese.

We'll, we'll, the new blades sure are sharp, and the old order changeth. The squires of old, a little nonplussed at this invasion of sacred precincts by those who rush in where the staid fear to tread. But nothing can deny progress, and newer styles, new twists of phrase, subtlety joined to (if the term may be employed) a swashbuckling manner have cast into the pale, the pastoral and (almost) bucolic de meanor that served as the prevail ing mode.
 Yet Carl, in his study of com putations of change, is sure that our able Cradles can meet the chal- lenge of this onrushing tide of shrewd dudes, matching quip for euip-and riposte for riposte.
 Carson hasn't had much oppor- tunity yet to lease" individuals comprising this invasion army. But they look good and bode well. Lots of interesting conversational ists among lem, and men who have faced the enemy on many difficult fronts.

House Unit Asks Army
To Explain Discharges
OF Some G|s, Flyers i.

The House Military Affairs Com
mittee today called for an Army
explanation of some of its courts
martial sentences and discharges.
Representative Thomason, DEM
ocrat, Of Texas, ranking majority
member, said representatives of the
adjutant generals Office have been
asked to appear tomorrow.
Asserting that some soldiers and
airmen have been given discharges
without honor" apparently after
suffering nerve exhaustion from
combat experiences, Mr.. Thomson
sand he wants complete explana-
ton" of War Department policies
in such matters.
He cited the case of one Texan
whose discharge as a psychoneu-
rotic, he said, appeared unjust. The
man is q lawyer and served over
seas, said Mr.. Thomson. adding
that with such a stigma on his
discharge he will be handicapped
for life"
I'm terribly disturbed about this
thing" the Representative declared
Il have heard of a number of in
stances where men have been let
out with other than honorable dis
charges. Some of these are cases
of sheer nerve exhaustion, of boys
who have lived through tough air
raids. And yet they may be called
towards just because of these dis
charges"
Sections of the GI Bill of Rights
provide for board of review to
consider such cases. Explaining
that many veterans benefits are
given only to those with honorable
discharges, Mr. Thomason said he
wanted to hear how the review
board is functioning.
The Texan added that the COM
mittee also will go into the whole
subject of courts-martial and of
policies which permit such sentences
as that given Pvt. Joseph MCGEE of
Worcester, Mass, for hitting Ger
man prisoners. Pvt. McGee's two
year sentence since has been reduced
to time served and the soldier rein
stated in the Army and returned to

PAUL ROBSON Sees AMERICA
AS LAST CITADEL OF FA5CISM
UNLESS PEOPLE SPEAK

CHICAGO, June 26 (ANP)-
With Europe swinging steadily to-
ward the left, and socialist gov
ernment virtual certainty for
England before the year is over,
America may become the last great
citadel for fascism unless the peo-
pie speak and act, Paul Robson, in
ternationally famous actor and
singer, told 700 guests at the 18th
birthday dinner of the Chicago
Civil Liberties committee held at
the Stevens hotel.
Mr.. Robson, winner of the Spin
garn medal for 1914, shared speak
ing honors with Marshall Field,
publisher of the Chicago Sun, at
the banquet which was named after
Mr.. Fields new book, Freedom Is
More Than a Word" Those attend

the goal set for $4,000. Approx
mately SO Negroes were present,
with the Chicago Defender contrib
uting $500 and the Supreme Lib
erty Life Insurance, S100.
After telling how his experiences
abroad convinced him that the
the plight Of the Negro was similar
to that of oppressed masses in all
parts of the world Mr.. Robson con-
demned the reactionary trends of
the state department at the San
Francisco conference and the ef-
forts of powerful American inter
ests to foment war with the Soviet
Union. The end of the European
war means that the world has
turned the corner toward a non

Among the citations comprising

Administration workers there, it is
gratifying to observe the fine work
being done by the farm ownership
borrowers of Moore County. Their
economic progress, after a t e W
years on the program, their inn
provements in the soil, farm build
ings, and in dietary habits is
amazing.
Food and feed production, con-
servation, the health of the families,
and the standards of living general
ly have all been improved. If the
Farm Security Administration had
nothing more than this which has
been accomplished in Moore Coun-
ty, its existence would be justified.
