And no one’ ARMY FAVORITISM Several members of the Senate Military Affairs Committee who, unlike Senator Chan Guriey of South Dakota, don't get out the prayer rug every morning and Salaam in the direction of the Pentagon Building, have done some careful studying of peacetime conscription. Here are some of the conclusions they have reached: 1--If the Army’s policy men want a big peacetime standing Army, their first move should be to cut out the favoritism and unfairness which has made millions of G.I and reserve officers swear that under no circumstances would they remain in the Army 2—It has now been eigh months since V-E day and five months since V-J Day, but as far as Sen- ators can see I been done by the 1 top gen- erals to eloun out favoritism 3—instead of raking the Army more attractive to enlisted men and officers, the gen- eral : the end of the Eurcpesn War, began a careful propaganda npaign for peace- time conscription. Conclusion of several key mem- bers of the Senate Military Affairs Committee, including Johnson of Colorado, O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Kilgore and Revercomb of West Virginia, is that the brass ha have put the cart before the horse. They should clean up inside the Army first. Then they should come to Congress—but only after elimi- nating the favoritism which makes G.I’s blood boil BARGAINS SHOT In Augusta, Ga., the other day the Army ordered a sale of surplus shotguns, pump guns and small- calibre rifles.

One thing which regular Army officers could well afford to clean up in the opinion Nation Guard and reserve Army officers is the “officers’ club racket"—especi- ally the system whereby club funds are built up at the expense of the temporary officers to be used by regular officers after the war. The Schofield Officers’ Club in Hawaii is a case in point. The, treasury of this club accumulated the amazing total of $250,000—so much that the Inspector Gene office was called upon to investi- of gate.
