Drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers, which is scheduled to
start soon, is going to give Big
League baseball an awful boot
in the bunion.
Not recognized as a ground for
occupational deferment, base
ball is in a No Man’s Land be
tween the list of essential indus
tries and the non-deferable oc
cupations.
First pre-Pearl Harbor father
facing the draft is A1 Zarilla, St.
Louis Browns outfielder recent
ly classified 1A by his Los An
geles draft board. If Zarilla, the
father of a 3-year-old daughter,
appeals his reclassification it
will be up to the appeal board to
determine whether he is an “es
sential" man in an "essential”
industry.
Professional football will be
less disturbed by the fathers’
draft. Most pro football play
ers are either 4F or have war
jobs when they’re not playing
with the pigskin.

O. C o n te s t Box Bend
Former WAACs
le-eiii!
Honorably discharged former
members of the Women’s Army
Auxiliary Corps may reenlist in
the Women’s Army Corps and
rejoin their original units pro
viding enlistment is effected
within 90 days after discharge
from the WAAC and the com
manding officer approves the
assignment.
That announcement waS made
this week from the headquarters
of Col. P. R. Davison, command
ing officer of the Ninth Service
Command, at Fort Douglas,
Utah, following receipt of the
ruling from the War Depart
ment.
Applicants may apply in
person at their last posts of duty
or at any Army recruiting sta
tion. If qualified, such appli
cants may be accepted for gen
eral assignment if they do not
desire duty at their former sta
tions. Continued assignment to
the station depends upon the re
quirements of the military sit
uation. The commanding officer
may waive the requirement of a
mental aptitude test.
Assignment to original sta
tions does not include those out
side the continental United
States.
Individuals discharged from
the WAAC who apply for enlist
ment in the WAC more than 90
days after discharge will be en
listed for general assignment if
qualified and will be dispatched
to WAC training centers. There
they will be processed and re
ported available for assignment.
They need not be required to
take the regular course in basic
training but may, pending as
signment and at the discretion
of the commandant of the train
ing center, be given brief re
fresher training.
Camp's Barefoot Cagers
To Get 20 Pair of Shoes
Camp Abbot cage aces, who
for the past few weeks have
done their dribbling either in
their stocking feet or barefooted,
soon will have 20 pairs of bas
ketball shoes at their disposal,
the Special Service Office has
announced.
Shoes will be fumigated after
each wearing. Almost any man
who can't walk on water can be
fitted.
GI footgear was barred for
much the same reason that bulls
are kept out of china shops.
ASTP Trainees
May Get Credit
All soldiers who complete
their prescribed work in the
Army Specialized Training Pro
gram at colleges and universi
ties will be rewarded with cer
tificates, and there is a possi
bility college credits may be
granted, the War Department
announced this week.
The certificate, eight by 10
inches in size, will list the curri
culum number in which the sol
dier performed his work, the
number of terms completed and
the date of training. It will be
signed by t h e appropriate
authority at the college attended
and by the commandant of the
ASTP unit at the institution.
In the opinion of the ASTP
Advisory Committee, all ASTP
academic work is at the college
level. The committee antici
pates, therefore, that appropri
ate college credits will be given,
enabling the soldier to complete
his work for a degree if he re
turns to college after obtaining
his discharge.
PX Special Orders Limited
To Only Necessary Items
Although the Post Exchange
maintains a Special Order de
partment where members of the
armed forces may order many
necessities, it does not offer
service to obtain fur coats, dia
mond rings and other similar
materials. Neither is it possible
to obtain fountain pens, watches.
Only articles of military neces
sity and convenience, not sup
plied by the government may be
ordered, according to officials of
the Post Exchange.
Furnish Club
In order to make the NCO club
a bit more home like the board of
directors have placed orders for
S300 in new furniture for the
club rooms. It will include three
davenports, chairs to match and
occasional chairs. The new fur
niture is expected to arrive with
in a week and will be put in
place for the comfort of all mem
bers.
Officers and members of the
flub are preparing to welcome
into their fold of membership,
the corporals and technicians
fifth grade. A directive issued
this week authorized any man of
the first five grades to be a
member of the club is he so de
sires.
Sgt. John Coquille has been
named secretary of the club re
placing Sgt. Morrie Guss, re
cently discharged. Sgt. Harlan
L. Weeks was named stewai d of
the club by the directors at the
same meeting this week.
Playing cards and several new
tables are now available for any
of the members who care to in
dulge in a bit of that indoor re
creation. Also two ping pong
tables are ready for use at any
time as well as writing desks.
Every effort is being made to
make the NCO club of this post
one of the finest and any eligible
mar. on the post is invited to
come around and make it his
headquarters.
New Sub-Machine Gun
Found Highly Effective
It can now be discussed that
American soldiers are being
equipped with a new subma
chine gun which is scheduled to
supplant all other weapons of
this type. The new gun, known
as the M-3 credited by the Ord
nance Department with meeting
so-called impossible require
ments, was first developed more
than a year ago and has gone
through extensive tests with all
branches of the service. The In
fantry reported that compared
with standard weapons it was
more accurate, easier to control,
had less recoil and a slower rate
of fire which made each shot
more accurate, parachutg. troops
liked its light weight and collap
sible stock. Amphibious troops
found that even complete im
mersion in sea water had little
effect on the weapon. The Arm
ored Force reported that it could
be depended upon to deliver ac
curate, deadly fire. The Tank
Destroyer Command found that
it stood all the battering that the
high speed motorized gun mount
would give it. It can be produced
without complicated machine
tools and most of the parts are
made by the metal stamping pro
cess, thus releasing many ma
chine facilities for other war
work.

wife of Capt. Roberts of the en
