Keyser recently expressed a sentiment not often voiced publicly in this country when he said that after an army man had put in thirty-eight years as an officer he became disgusted with the term “brass.” He termed this expression “ugly, contemptible and used by fools.” The General’s explosion came about after guards at his ment, she thought.

The General believes the press of the country, in using such terms as Army “brass” and playing up inci- dents which are regrettable but sometimes necessary, un- dermines the safety of the country. Said he: “Those tactics make it impossible to run an army the way it should be run.” Ever since World War II, and even during the lat- ter years of that war it has been fashionable among some circles to attack all military officers as “high brass.” Many of those doing the criticizing have never been called on to perform the job required of a military| officer and therefore are limited in their appraisals. Moreover, most of these people are quite willing for the “high brass” to defend and save the country in war timé. In the United States the military profession has never been a large one. On the other hand military ser- vice has not been frowned upon and many of the na- tion’s greatest men have devoted their lives to military service. While it is wise for us in this country to restrict the authority of the military at the highest level of government it is also wise to recognize the high calling of a military career. Without attempting to pass judgment on the Camp Carson affair, we can agree with the assertion that a general condemnation of military brass is inappropriate. Contrary to some people’s ideas, the officers of the military services are usually deserving men and women and usually effective leaders of men or qualified spe- cialists, ‘Seaman Practices For Depression BALTIMORE (#—Walter Hallett, 43-year-old seaman charged with begging in the streets, told Magis- trate William F, Laukaitis Sun day he was “just keeping in prac-- tice in case of a depression.” Laukaitis dismissed the charge after Hallett proved visible means of support. He urged the seaman to “just stay in the habit of work- ing.” “Besides,” said the Republican {magistrate, “a man that happens to be president just said the other day that all this depression talk is untrue.” PEOPLE’S FORUM The Citizen welcomes expressions of the views of its read- ers, but the editor reserves the right to delete any items which are considered libelous or unwarranted. The writers should be fair and confine the letters to 200 words and write on one side of the paper only. Signature of the writer must accompany the letters and will be published unless requested otherwise. MRS. BOWSER ANSWERED Editor, The Citizen: I could not resist a reply to Mrs. Bowser’s pub- lished poem. The following is the effort of an amateur but sincere writer of verse: We’re here, n the northland, that frozen pond Eden of ice and snow, But stay? Not for a minute, if back to Key West we could go!
