tlons not seniority , even though served in separate messes and Improve housing for enlisted men.
 5. But above al, cut out the selfish favcrltisn and houRhtessness practiced by some officers which make enlisted men hate all officers, including even the majority of conscientious officers who LOOK ou' for their men.
 Cut out. for instance, the system whereby the i26eth engineering combat battalion has to move out of a healthy camp site near Manila and live in 2 filthy buffalo wallow because the officers club wants
 out out, for instance the system whereby Pvt Karl Won Esche is refused admission for his Vile to the General Moore Hospital in Savannah N. c. His wife dies It. John Bamberger's dog is admitted to the same hospital at about the same time.
 Also cut out the system whereby Maj. Gen. Wil- liam 0rd Ryan uses an Army plane to ny s D"ie 2. tive kangaroo; whereby officers fly to football games while GLs ride day-coaches on the much more Col. soriano. the friend of Gen. MacArthur and personal representative of dictator Franco is able to fly three plane-oads of beerbottle tops across the plane to Florida for pompano, another to North Dakota for quail and third to Texas for avacados and fresh tomatoes for the sole purpoes of staging fancy dinner for British air marshal
 Also cut out the system whereby football players and baseball players get discharged ahead of high point veterans merely because they have wire-puing friends in the War Department; and the system whereby Gen. Macarthur gives a special airplane ride 5000 miles home to the low-point son of Gen. Hanford McNider.
 Finally cut out the system whereby enlisted men at times were given one helmet of water per day for bathing, drinking and laundry, but see the hose running all day to water officers gardens
 These are some of the very strong reasons why men don't want to stay in the Army Nobody is stirring this up except certain officers themselves These officers have it within their power to change this overnight They need no legislation.
 They also have it within their power to revamp our antiquated system and build of the best armies in the world But conscription or no con- scription, they won't have strong army unless favoritism, personal political pull and the caste system made defunct as certain types of pre- atom warfare.
 Sen. Owen Brewster Maine Republican and member of the Mead Committee, held out to the end for Hugh Fulton as Counsel of the Pearl Harbor Investigating Committee Fulton was Counsel for the Truman Committee, resigned when Truman be- came Vice-Presdential candidate and left the Com- mittee. Sen. Homer Ferguson, Michigan Republican who sits with Brewster on both the Mead Commit tee and the Pearl Harbor Committee did not back up Fulton's candidacy although, he did not oppose it. One common impulse of Red Army soldiers and American G.I's is their fondneSs for leaving carved names wherever they go. G.I.s in Berlin have to hand 1t to the Russians for the thorough job they did in what is left of the Reichs chanceory There is hardly square inch of wall space which does not bear the name and address of Russian all the way up to the dome. The Tanks can't figure out how the Russians managed to write their names on the ceiling and dome.
