Marines Can Sign
For Air Unit Duty
Duty with aviation units is
open on a temporary basis for
new recruits in the marine
corps under terms of a policy
recently announced. This is
the first time that a specific
' duty has been promised young
men entering the marines. By
taking advantage of this policy
now young men will be eligible
for the full benefits of the GI
bill of rights upon termination
of their enlistment.
Men signing for this duty are
eligible for many educational
benefits, including technical
schools in such fields as radio
radar, ordnance, aircraft me
chanics, navigation and instru
ments. College credit is given
for successful completion of
these technical schools and fur
ther formal education can be
continued while the recruit is
in the corps through its educa
tional institute.'

officials from towns in this area
educators, service club repre
sentatives and newspaper peo
ple at a dinner given by the
war department at the Marion
hotel Wednesday night, pointed
out the need for a regular army
of 1 600,000 volunteers and told
of the post-war plans of the
US army.
Griffin who is commissioned
in the coast artillery corps and
has seen duty overseas in both
World wars 21 months in the
first war in France with the
headquerters of the 66th field
artillery brigade and as an as
sistant to the late Gen. George
White, at Pearl Harbor when
the Nip. struck in this war and
later in the ETO with the G-3
section of the Third army dur
ing combat and on occupational
duty later characterized the
United States army of tomorrow
as the insurance policy of the
people of this country that peace
will be maintained.
Noting that radio commenta
tors and columnists have stated
that the remnants of the once
magnificent army that defeat
ed the hordes of axis might, now
only constitute a corporal's
guard, the colonel pointed out
that the army is not now a bal
anced protective force capable
of protecting us against aggres
sion, nor of giving us the nec
essary strength at the peace
table to back our just demands
or to implement our plans to
carry out our responsibilities in
substit'iting peace for armistice.
The fact that the army of yes
terday was Inadequate was
blamed by Col. Griffin for this
war. Elaborating on that state
ment, the speaker said that Hit
ler, Mussolini and Tojo would
not have launched the war had
the army been adequate and as
evidence of its inadequacy gave
the defeats at Pearl Harbor, Ba
taar. and Corregidor. Stressing
the necessity of a standing army
of 1,600.000 volunteers Griffin
compared that number to the
small forces of 14,000 officers
and 125 000 enlisted, men such
a small group that it could be
sealed in the Yankee stadium
with room to spare of the
period from 1922 to 1935 and
that of 14,000 officers and 165,
003 men in the years between
1935 r.nd 1940.
Pointing out that the new
army would be one of volun
teers, speedy enlistment of
which would mean the dis
charge ol men inducted into the
service Col. Griffith reminded
his lirteners of the important
part that these men would have
In maintaining the peace that so
many gave their lives to
achieve.
Those at the dinner were re
minaed by Griffin that the army
does not want in its ranks men
wno are misfits in society, but
high type of qualified young
men. and he asked that they re
member that the soldiers of to
morrow were citizens of this
country and their neighbors,
who would merit respect and
high esteem.
In Si.lem with Col. Griffin
were Lt Col. William M. Cal
hoon, commanding officer of the
Oregon recruiting district, and
Firtt Lt C. G. Folen, assistant
pub:ic relations officer for the
Oreson district.
