Strong Enough
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July q. =

stop the advance IN prices of
many essentials of life.

cost of living reaches a point
where workmen are unable to OBJ
tain the required necessities of
life, there is likely to be nation
wide strikes for higher wages.

Chaplain Corps
Observes Army
Anniversary

Army posts IN the Unlteo
States and abroad will observe
July 10th as the 171st anniver-
sary of the work of ChaplainS
with the Army. It was on that
date, ITS, that the Continental
Congress gave formal recogni-
ton of legal status for chap
lains in the armed forces by in
Guiding a chaplain on the Army's
payroll. Rev. John Hurt, of Vir-
ginia, is considered as the first
Army Chaplain. He was one of
many ministers who went to the
camps of the Continental Army
to conduct services and to min
lister to the men. When peace
came after the Revolutionary
War, he served the one brigade
which constituted the Army at
that time.
During the War of 1912, chap
lains were appointed to regi-
ments, but for 20 years after
wards the only chaplain in the
Army seems to have been the one
at West Point, He was not only
a clergyman, but a professor of
Geography, History and Ethics.
During the Mexican War, two
Catholic chaplains went with
General Taylor, one being killed
by Mexican guerrillas. In 1861,
the appointment of regimental
chaplains was authorized, hav-
ing the pay and allowances of
captain, of the cavalry, and
rank without command. Jewish
rabbis also became eligible for
appointment, and thus was the
way paved for today's policy
when Protestants, Catholics and
Jews serve the men of those
faiths as chaplains on posts dur
ing their training, in the field,
and accompany them into actual
combat areas.
During World I. 1883 chap
lains were appointed in the
Army, of whom 81 were negroes.
OF the total number, % died in
service, 81 were wounded, and
50 received decorations from the
United States and Allied gov
ernments.
The work of chaplains so grew
in Importance that the National
Defense act of 1920 created the
office of the Chief of Chaplains,
to coorelate and direct the spir-
itual and ministerial work OF
the chaplains. This office is ably
filled at the present time by
Chaplain major GeneraD Luther
d. Miller.
Following the precedent set in
1899, endorsement by the church
to which the chaplain belongs
is required for appointment.
When accepted, he is sent to the
Chaplain School, at Fl. Ogle-
thorpe, Ca, for a IL weeks
training course, where the chap
lains learn to be soldiers, without
a gun. Here he studies Army or
ganization and administration,
military law, and customs of the
service. Beside ministerial du-
ties. the course deals with prac-
teal duties, counseling, morale
and discipline. In preparation for
duties on or near a battlefield,
the chaplain studies map reading,
graves registration and military
funerals. Calisthenics, drill and
road marches develop endurance
and vigor which enables the
chaplain to go with his men, and
TO minister to them under any
conditions. He studies defense
against chemical warfare, first
aid. sanitation and personal Sc
curity to guard against the more
probable dangers of camp or bat
tlefield.
During World War II, more
than 1000 clergymen of all faiths
served as chaplains; 2.514 OF
them are still on active duty in
the United States and abroad
That they have served "above
