'SParknaan Explains
Discharge Delay TO
Washington Club
By Gretchen Smith

Confusing issues involved in dis
charging men from the service were
clarified by Representative Spark
man, Democrat, of Alabama for
members of the Washington Club
in an address yesterday.
Mr.. Sparkman, member of the
House Military Affairs Committee,
told of the thousands of letters to
Congress members since VI day,
asking why this or that" man was
not being discharged.
People forget we have had an
Army of nearly 6,500000 men scat
tered over the world" he said, land
that it is no simple task to bring
all these men back"
He explained why men awaiting
transfer from Europe to the Pacific
at points of embarkation when vi
day came were brought home be-
fore men with more points to their
credit.
In answer to criticism of the slow
ness of the discharge system Mr..
Sparkman pointed to the necessity
for time to assure all servicemen of
having their papers in order. He re-
called that after the World War
many veterans were unable to es-
tablish their status due to incom-
lplete records.
Men now are being separated
from the services with more COM
plete records than have ever existed
following any war in the history of
the country" he declared.
The Alabama Representative ex-
pressed the opinion that discharge
preference should be given to groups
rather than to those with credit
points.
Il think a plan should be worked
out for boys to return to school as
soon as possible" he said. This
civilization is going to suffer some
day due to the retarding of the edu-
cation of our boys"
Fathers of young children should
also be sent home as soon as pos
sible, he continued
With over 2,50o,000 men already
discharged from the Army, Mr.
Sparkman predicted that by Christ.
mas there would be 2,500,oo0 more
out Of the service.

active interest in things musical in
addition to her studies at George

through an 11-tube radio receiver
given him by an American friend
when Manila fell.
The Japs never found the set, but
after he had a close call with Jap
military police in August, 1943, his
one man news bureau operations
were curtailed.
OF the Jap mentality, Mr.. Persen
says it's relatively easy to hoodwink
them. He did that when they ques-
toned him at Fort Santigo about
some scribbled notes found when he
was taken into custody that August.
The notes, written in his own form
of shorthand, concerned war news
he was about to pass along to
friends.
He told the Japs he was planning
to write a book about 'rumors"-
rumors friendly to the japanese.
Mr.. Persen, who had been accred-
tied to Gen. MacArthur's headquar-

assignment after liberation and
covered the war on Luzon and
