have cold-shouldered the Air
Force men. However, by August
OF l949. the citizenry of Belle
vile was momentarily aroused
from its lethargy by a crime
wave. Servicemen accounted for
28 per cent of the arrests made
by Belleville police.
coranaunisy Was Guilty
BELLEvLLE's Chief of Police
pointed the finger of blame at
his own community. Most Air
Force soldiers who get into trou-
ble," he said, do so because
they do not have the right kind
of diversion off base"
I'VE have watched this trou-
bic develop and have worried as
individuals" William J. Thebus,
secretary of the Community
Council. said. 1T is high time
we do something about it"
Mayor H. v. Calhoun asserted,
I'VE must give the boys some
thing other than taverns. " Wal
terE. Wagner, secretary-manager
of the Chamber of Commerce,
ran a, survey at the base: What
can we do to help you1 What
do you want3"
The Scott Field men told
him. They wanted a cooper
ative, friendly citizenry.
These boys were critical of the
churches" Wagner told his con-
stituents, ''for treating them as
outsiders. When they do at
tend church, many civilians let
it be known they are not well
come there"
The Reverend F. w. Schwarz-
lose, chairman of the Belleville
Ministerial Alliance. frankly adj
mitted this was true. Church
people who worked 50 hard, to
help soldier morale during the
war let down completely when
hostilities came to an end" he
said.
All this happened in August,
l949. I wanted to find out what
metamorphosis had occurred in
Belleville during the course of a
year as a result of this campaign.
Harold Williams, of the Presi-
dents Committee. called one of
his field men in Belleville, who
reported that the local citizens
are just beginning to do some

thing for the men of Scott Field.
A Mayors Committee is being
formed, and the Mayor has spe-
cifically promised the base COM
mander that his town is going
to get busy" But no program
had yet been established.
However, it is good to be able
to report that a sizable number
of cities haze gotten busy. A
group of interested citizens are
demonstrating in Los Angeles
what can be accomplished for our
servicemen. Marines at nearby
Ell Toro Air Station had accused
Los Angeles. which had been
considered second only to Wash
ington as a good wartime leave
city, of having become one of the
worst soldier towns, in Amer
ica." These Los Angeles citi-
zens were determined to re-
store their city's prestige. An
Armed Services Organization
was formed and several informa-
tion centers are now being
planned with a full-time profes-
sional director to administer
them. 81
In Philadelphia, asked Cap
tain Harding, Information Off,
Ger at the Schuylkill Arsenal,
why so many servicemen nomi-
mated that city as the nations
best. He said that the city has
retained its wartime USO staff,
now called the Philadelphia Serv-
ice Organization. which is sup
ported by city wide contribu-
tions to the Community Chest.
