U. S. OBJECTORS TOTAL 3070
Doing Valuable, Sometimes Dangerous Work, Says Draft Official.
WASHINGTON, June 15 (U. PJ). —Selective service officials disclosed today that 3070 conscientious objectors are located in 38 camps, working on forest conservation and soil erosion projects. The men, who have been assigned 4-E classification, comprise 115 different religious groups. About 60 per cent come from the “historic peace churches”—the Mennonites, the Brethren and the Society of Friends. Mennonites have contributed 1018 men, more than a third of the total: the Brethren, 437; Society sof | Friends, 250; Methodists, 235; Presby terians, 86; Baptists, 73; Roman Catholics, 43. The remainder represent 108 other faiths, A selective service spokesman said conscientious objectors engage in tasks as “hard and risky” as many jobs in civilian life or the army.
New Camps 0. Kd
Five new camps recently authorized by Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Her- | shey, selective service chief, will begin operation about June 15. They |are located at Ft. Collins, Colo.; | Beltsville, Md.; Salem, Ore.; Galax, | Va, and Howard, Pa. Camps at | Marilla, Mich., and Bluffton, Ind, closed when projects there were completed. A plan now in the discussion stage would permit objectors to train in state hospitals as orderlies. Already 18 are taking nursing courses in the Alexian Brothers hosiptal, a Catholic charity in Chicago. Another unit in Crestview, La. is working on mosquito and hookworm control. The legal status of a registered conscientious objector is unchallengeable, the spokesman said, and he complies with selective service
law as fully as a man in 1-A classi-

“Only an objector who refuses to register is subject to legal prosecution,” he said. Only those who refuse to register jeopardize their citizenship. Regis, tered objectors retain all their rights

Soldiers’ Purchases at
won't be any more jawbone at army post exchanges. (Note to housewives, stenographers and shoe salesmen: Jawbone means credit.) The mimeograph at the war department today rolled out this ponderous intelligence: “The army is planning an experiment to put the soldier’s purchases of personal commodities and services at military stations on a cash basis. The new system, which is designed to enhance the dignity and efficiency of the soldier and to eliminate much paper work, will be tried in the field very soon.” Apparently any seeming relationship between the plan and the army pay bill coming out of congress is purely coincidental. = = =
“ELIMINATION of credit,” the announcement continued, “will do away with the company collection sheets or decrease the number of items on them; the administrative burdens of company commanders and commanders of troops, batteries, and similar units will be lightened, affording them more time for vital combat
Corp. Patterson = Carl Humphrey
LEPFPT—A letter from the “Boys of Ward 21.” as they call themselves, of Keesler Field, Miss, brings word of the promotion of Robert W. Patterson to corporal. Through the service column, Corp. Patterson wants to convey his thanks for “all the thoughtful letters and cards I have received.” RIGHT—A cablegram dated June 9 is the first word that Mrs. H. C. Humphrey, 2817 Ruckle st., has had from her son, Carl E. Humphrey, for five months. At that time he left the states for Australia where he is now stationed with the army air corps. He entered the service in June of 1941.
50 Bucks But No Credit?
Army Post Exchanges
May Go on Cash Basis Soon as Lesson in Thrift
WASHINGTON, June 15 (U. P.).—Soldiers rejoicing over the prospect of 50 bucks a month pay from Uncle Sam may now pause to reflect on the old philosophical truth that there are few unmixed blessings. Fifty bucks is all right when you have it in your pocket, but when you don’t there's nothing like a little of the old jawbone. And—are we breaking it gently enough, boys?—it looks like there
training of their organizations. This means eliminating the credit that enlisted men may incur at post exchanges, barber shops, company pool rooms, bowling alleys, etc. “The plan for eliminating or reducing this credit should, if successful, increase the efficiency of the soldier by relieving him from financial worries, teach him to budget his funds and inculcate habits of thrift that will be of value on his return to civil life.” The boys have been looking for a long time for an easy way to shed their financial troubles. Now about the 20th of the month they can stop everything and contemplate the advantages of being inculcated with post-war thrift. “Details of the experiment and when and where it will be first tried are not yet ready for announcement,” the statement concluded. That's a little solace for soldiers—there’s a period of grace before the new system starts. Also, boys, did you get it? The announcement said “if successful.” Maybe it won’t work.
