NavyWill Re-examine
DISCHARGED Athletes

Falling in step with the Army,
the Navy Department has ordered
a review of discharges for all promi-
nent athletes and prominent enter
tainment personalities in the future.
The order, issued from Secretary
Forrestals Office, admittedly was
promulgated because release Of "cer-
tain nationally prominent persons
from the military services has
caused adverse public reaction and
criticism" Such cases now will be
referred to the chief Of naval per-
sonnel or the commandants of the
Marine Corps and Coast Guard for
review and final determination.
Forrestal explained that the dis
charge of well-known athletes for
physical disability, followed by their
immediate participation in sports,
''is obviously subject to widespread
public disapproval." He added that
the discharge of apparently able
bodied prominent figures to permit
them to take part in activities I'M
essential to the war effort cannot
be justified to the general public.

while it might be fun for awhile,
there wasn't much future In that,
set out for her goal with a SINGLE
ness OF purpose you can but admire.
She did not dissipate her talents to-
ward all points Of the compass, but
instead concentrated on learning
one routine so well she could per-
form 1t with perfection.
She knew that, being personable
young woman, she would be invited
to join countless parties at the
night clubs she crossed during her
career. She also became aware early
that number of the men she would
meet would find life fuzzy after sew
eral hours at the ringside of any
gwen bistro and that the immediate
