Soldiers’ Pants

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—~We have “got to quit) grommets. 1 say, nuts.

laughing at the haberdashery problem of the army, Should a ‘soldier's pants be, h-m-m-m-m, heavenly blue? “Should the stripes down the sides of same be lemon yellow, or fire-engine red? are serious. : The quartermaster corps has appealed to the public to -assist in selecting the new costumes for its fighting .men dnd I, for one, am co-operating. I've even made a pilgrimage to the Smithsonian institution seeking helpful hints from history. Up on the balcony, grouped on either side of Gen. Phil Sheridan's stuffed horse, Rienzi, are samples of all soldier suits since the beginning of America. Yellow stripes on tomorrow's pants might be all right; red might do, too, but thie best stripes of all were worn by the dragoons in 1852. ‘Their pants were palest blue; the stripes pink, of the shade known today as shocking. Our fighting men used to be gay dogs, dressed like Nelson Eddy when he's making love to Jeannette McDonald in technicolor. The quartermaster corps says It can't decide whether to make the new suits in two tones of blue, or one, or even what tones. I am surprised that it has not yet considered the costume of the Pennsylvania troops in the revolution. They wore cream-colored pants without any stripes, baby blue vests with gold braid and long-tailed blue coats with 24 big, brass buttons down the front.

Hats With Feathers

THE MILITARY haberdashers also are wondering about hats and whether they ought to have soft roll

FORT COLLINS, Colo., Aug. 26.—Today we visited the base camp for conscientious objectors. It is housed in a dilapidated old C. C. C. unit. From® a distance it resembles a military camp, but the resemblance stops at the gate. No guards were on duty. In fact, nobody was in sight. We found what appeared to be an office and I walked in. “I'd like to see the commanding officer,” T said, addressing a hefty, red-faced man seated at a desk. “We don’t have a commanding officer,” he replied “I'm the superintendent.” His name was Ted G. Williams and he was an employee of the soil conservation service of the department of agriculture. He had charge of projects the “103 conscientious objectors in this unit were working on-irrigation land improvement, reclamation in the dust bowl.’ “Do the boys give you any trouble?” I asked. “Are they pretty good workers?” “Yes, most of them are,” he said. “They don't work quite as hard as they did during the war, but they do all right.” I asked about the camp routine, recreation, religious life—and so on. Mr. Williams referred me to Willard Gaeddert, the camp director and a conscientious objector himself, Mr. Gaeddert turned out to be a tall, blond, handsome fellow with a patch on the seat of his greenish gabardine pants CO camps, he explained, are administered by various church groups under the national service board for religious objectors and under selective service.

Once Numbered 8500 THE GREATEST number of men ‘in all camps during the war was about 8500, Mr. Gaeddert said, and approximately half of them were Mennonites. Other large STOPS were composed of Friends and Brethren. : Mr. Gaeddert, a university professor before the draft got him, is a Mennonite, and this camp is run by the Mennonite central committee. It furnishes the food and medical care, and gives the men an allowance of $5 a month for spending money. The men must furnish their own clothes, They make a few dollars a month -by working

off, and after they put in their eight hours for the government. The government pays them no wages. does not grant any dependency allotments nor medical compensation. It does, however, provide the buildings and part of the camp equipment, such as beds and stoves.

Sci A NEW SCIENCE came into existence during world war II and you will hear more of it in the future as the business of war becomes more and more a matter of scanning radar screens and pushing buttons. It may be equally important in the pursuits of peace. It is called “psychophysics.” Psychophysics has been described as “the science of the senses in action.” Professor S. 8. Stevens, Harvard university psychologist, calls it “the art of gearing machines to the minds and muscles of men.” Engineers have done a pretty good job of accomplishing the desired end in the design of the automobile, But because of the haste with which radars and other devices had to be developed in world war II, the success there was not so great. (Perhaps the number of auto accidents indicate some work to be done yet in that field as well.) Writing in the American Scientist, official quarterly of Sigma Xi Research society, Dr. Stevens points out that this war was largely fought on “sensory margin.” Very often the battle hung on the ability of the human eye or ear to detect a signal just at the limit of human capacity.

Fine Sensory Judgment

“RADARS don’t see,” he writes, “radios don't hear, sonars don’t detect, guns don’t point without someone making a fine sensory judgment and the paradox of it is that the faster the engineers and the inventors served up their ‘automatic’ gadgets to eliminate the human factor the tighter the squeeze became on the powers of the operator—the man who must see and hear and judge and act with that margin of superiority which gives his outfit the jump on the enemy.” As an example of what human adjustment to

My Day

HYDE PARK, Sunday. = It {s interesting that articles taken from Miss Frances Perkins' book and from my son, Elliott's book are both appearing in magazines at the same time. They illustrate how every individual sees things through his own eyes, and how people who are sensitive always reflect some influence from the people with whom they happen to be at any given time. I know no one more scrupulously honest than

" Frances Perkins, but here is one little illustration to

show how hard it is to get every detail correct. She mentions that my husband attended St. John's church, which is the little church across Lafayette square from the White House. As a matter of fact, he attended St. Thomas’ on 18th street, because that is the church we had attended when we lived in Washington while my husband was assistant secretary of the navy. My husband never went regularly, because such things were a very great physical effort. Later, when he stopped going altogether, it was because both the secret service and the doctors thought it wise to curtail his activities.

Favorite of Presidents

HE WENT to St. John's for the service which was held on inauguration days and the yearly anniversaries. I think he did it because it was convenient not to go too far away, i Also. 8t. John's was the church attended by many Presidents, and it ‘was small enough for this kind of

Lewis and the private owners get together on a contract, Interior Secretary Krug, whose department is the official seizer when there's trouble in the coal business, explained the circums« stances in an official order just pube lished in the official register, n ” LJ WHEREAS, he said, “by inade vertence and unintentional omise

sions, certain coal mines producing bituminous coal were not included in or covered by my orders Nos, 2200 and 2200-A and possession thereof by the United States has not been effected.” And also? “Whereas, the causes for the exe isting or threatened strikes or labor disturbances which prevailed at the time said executive order of the President was issued still prevail at sald mines, possession of which was not taken through said inadvertence and omission.” Therefore, the secretary duly seizes, and orders the mine managers (who are taken over by the government simultaneously with the mines) to run up the American flag and give the miners the benefits agreed to by Mr. Krug in the cons tract which ended last spring's strike, ; Interior department officials ex plained that the inadvertence and omissions cited by Mr. Krug were due to faulty mailing lists, which had not been corrected since the seizing season of 1943, when the then Secretary Ickes was in charge, » » ~ MR.
