IV Corps Explained in 'Orientation' Article 1 -------------------------------------------------------- * S Sgt. Al B. Spielman “What is IV Corps?” . . . It’s the largest tactical com mand in the Pacific Northwest . . . Commanded by Major Genera! Alexander M. Patch who has returned from the South Pacific battle fields. *------------------------------------- The insignia which is worn on the left sleeve of the shirt, blouse, and overcoat consists of a circle divided into four quadrants colored alternately blue and white with the first quadrant blue. This insignia has been a familiar sight here in Camp Adair, Camp White, Oregon, and Fort Lewis, Washington. Chain Of Command I.-) the chain of command of the Army you find that from a Com pany to a Battalion and up through a Division, the next higher com mand is Corps. Since the changing of the Corps Area Service Commands to Serv ice Commands, as originally stated, the tactical corps also dropped from their name the word “Army.” Many persons, including civilian personnel, take the change to read that anything that is not a Divi- sion is a Service Command organi- zation and a corps is not tactical in any way. This is strictly wrong!

"CAMP ADAIR CHAPELS" We ARE Different From the Axis "Chaplain, is it really worth fighting the Axis in the name of religious freedom and racial equality when we often see these principles violated in our own country?” I guess that every Army Chaplain has. at one time or another, had this question addressed to him. All of us who are responsible for the maintenance of morale have been bedeviled by this challenge: What shall be our reply? Let us begin by admitting the truth. The truth is that we have from time to time witnessed examples of bigotry and prejudice in our midst. The recent riots in Los Angeles, the mob violence in Detroit, the examples of anti-Jewish and anti Catholic discrimination which come to our attention —all these are discouraging phenomena, which re mind us that our house is not yet in perfect order. But let us also remember that our Government has officially condemned all these outbreaks of bigotry. No responsible public official has uttered one word in approval of such scandalous behavior. As a people we are ashamed of these things and our elected representatives know this. Here is where we differ from our enemies. Our spokesmen have openly denounced racial and religious prejudice as evils which still persist in modern society and which must be eradicated. The spokesmen of the Axis have made racial hatred into an official policy to be used in the subjugation of so-called “inferior” peoples. If we and our allies win this war, there is a pos sibility that we may ultimately have a world in which international agreements will be respected, in which small nations will be protected, and in which men of all races and creeds will have an equal right to the pursuit of happiness. If Germany and Japan should win, these values which we Americans cherish will be doomed. That is why we must spare no effort to attain a clear-cut victory—Julius Krav- etz, 1st Lt., CH. sions (at Chapel No. 11), Saturday, 1530-1700 and 1900-2100. Chapel No. 11.
