Veterans
and
Druftees
By Maj. Thomas M. Mol

The first batch of women Re-
servists now are being called up
by the Army and Navy. The Air
Force has been taking WAF's with
badly needed specialties right
along, and women in the Marine
Corps organized Reserve went
with the men when their units
were mobilized.
The Navy's call is for WAVE
hospital corpsmen only. The
number being taken is hush-hush,
but those with first, second and
third class petty officer ratings are
getting the nod. They'll be as
signed to Navy hospitals and large
dispensaries to fill billets opening
up as the Navy expands.
In case other WAVE Reservists
are concerned about where they
stand, all I can do is repeat the
Navy's statement that it has no
plans at this time to recall in
voluntarily other categories of
women Reservists, either officer or
enlisted"
AS for the Army, it's first Gallup
will bring 1,644 women back into
uniform. Here's how they break
down: 14l lieutenants and cap
tains and 708 enlisted WACs, $50
Army nurses and 145 officers in
the Women's Medical Service
Corps (WMSC).
All the enlisted WACs will be
back on duty by November Is.
The officers in the three groups
will be snatched up in three hand
fuls. the last one scheduled to
report by November 20.
Among the enlisted WACs, those
who are unmarried and without
dependents will be the first to
go, but the Army said it may have
to take married WACs without
dependents.
Those with dependent children
under 18. officer and enlisted, in
all three groups. can rest assured
they will not be called. not even
If the. make arrangements for
some one else to care for the kids.
AS a matter of fact, the Army is
now in the process of discharging
all its women Reservists not on
active duty who have dependents
under 18.
Officers in the Nurse Corps and
WMSC also will not be called. if
they hold key positions in hos
pltals or institutions giving train
ing in their specialties, or if
they're employed in their speciality
and call would jeopardize the
health of the community. Army
commanders will have the help of
nursing organizations and other
professional groups in selecting
ReservistS to go.
Women Reservists. like men
may apply for a delay in report
ing If:
l. They are in critical civilian
occupations and essential actiy-
tiles.
2. They occupy critical kew
managerial jobs" in industry or
Key positions in Government.
s. They are enrolled full-time
IN educational institutions or en-
gagged in research and scientific
activities.
4. Some compassionate reason"
requires delay.
Again like the men, they should
wait until they get orders and
then apply for a delay imme-
dlately. It's a good idea to have
your employer or head of yo,,r
school endorse the letter, which
must be sent to the military dis
trlct commander by Army Re-
serv1sts and to the district COM
mandant by Navy Reservists.

that the frightened reacts against things quickly
He is too easily startled He not held bv conviction He
moves before he thinks
Frightened people afraid of what their opponent

Or will we be equal to the days ahead?

The Best Defense

What is our best defense? The
answers fly thick and fast every
time we twist the radio dial or
pick up the morning paper.
The best defense is good
offense." Build UP an atom bomb
stockpile. Develop the hydrogen
bomb. Manufacture bigger and
better airplanes. Set up a strong
military force.
The only defense is to make
peace" CAN conferences. Compro-
mise ideals if necessary. Divide the
world into two spheres of influ-
ence.
Maybe I'm wrong. But it seems
to me that we have skipped over
the first and most important line
of defense. The one without which
all the other ideas are as nothing.
A nation is as strong as the
spirit of IT'S people
Yes, 1 know. said that all dur
ing the last war And what is
more, I'm going to keep right on
saying It. We proved it was true
Ethen-that our people-yOu, me.
and our united in one
spirit for the defense of their in
dividuaF and collective rights as
free men and women, were more
than a match for the well drilled
robots of a dictator dominated
Estate.
But unity of spirit is not a
thing to be turned off and on like
Ethe switch on your radio. Strength
Of spirit, cannot be achieved over
night. 1t must be built up for it
lis composed of understanding, for
bearance, and appreciation, ex-
pressed in the day-by-day give and
take of the democratic way of life.
AS far as sneak attacks and the
atom and hydrogen bombs are
concerned-even as far as peace
conferences and international
agreements present themselves, we
are more or less in the position
of the airplane traveller. All we
can do for our own protection is
to see that we pick a line with
good pilots and responsible main
tenance crews.
But what we can do to defend
this land of ours is to make strong
the spirit of the people. And, that
means US.
We need a revival of patriotism.
If we truly believe that our way
of life, our republican, form of
government, our democratic way
of life; is the one, we want, then
We, as individuals can best defend
it by living up to its high princi-
pals. To be concrete, we must put
away diNisiveness,. stop, petty bic
kerings by self-interest blocs. We
must try to understand the other
fellows view point. We must work
for the good of the country as a
whole.
This is not a job, for any one
group. The, cracks in the wall of
our national morale must be filled
with individual understanding. A
nation is as strong as the spirit of
its people. And the people is YOU.

Dr.. Waller White Changes;
Withdraws NAACp RESIGNATION

The publicity department of the
National Association for the Ad-

sending out, without jubflation of
comment a statement by DR.. Wal
ter White that doctors say the
complaint he has that forced him
to proffer his resignation as sec
retary is more neurogenic than
coronary" and he can now go back
to work. He says he is willing to
go back to work if it pleases the
Board and membership. No sug-
gestion was sent out with the an
nouncement as to how NAACP
members might express their wish
es regarding Or. Whites return to
the secretaryship.
1t is well known that rank and
file members throughout the coun-
try think well of Roy wilkins who
has been acting secretary for near
ly a year and who has been in
harness long enough to be given a
chance to be secretary in his own
right. 1t is very probable this
would be reflected in a referen-
dun if one We're held, but it ap-
pears none will be held by the
executive board, most of whom
were recommended by DR.. White
it is claimed and will likely feel
duty bound to reciprocate.

national office without comment,
is as follows:

A Thought for the Lenten Season
BY Ruth Taylor
IF you owe God anything, pay
it to a man."
Are you doing your utmost for
your neighbor?
The blessing and commands
laid down in the sermon on the
Mount in fifth chapter of Matthew
were not for those who had wealth
and privilege and honor-Jesus
preached to them later. 1t was
to the humble folk who came TO
him in Galilee. Not in a court or
temple but on a rocky mount he
taught his disciples, saying, Love
yourenemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which des-
pitefuIly use you and persecute
you
And the multitudes followed
Him.
These be times that try mems
souls" they say. That is exactly
what they do Not merely try their
brains or intellect, not their pow
ers, or even their hearts - but
their souls, without which they
would be as dumb beasts.
Are you in these days of trial
obeying the command so clearly
laid down and doing honor unto
God by your actions to your fell
low man? Are you doing as you
would be done by2 Are you max
ing those whose path your path
crosses happier because you found
time to- speak an encouraging word
or to do kind service? Is your
family glad for your presence?
Have you missed an opportunity
Of doing good? Is the geing rough,
and do you feel you have nothing
to give? There is always someone

your debt to God. ,..~ @
For in the end it is said: Then

ing punishment: bat the. righteous
