COt CHAMBERLIN IN COMMAND OF WjOSPITAL Convalescent Soldiers Re gain Strength- At Camp Lockett, California "Home In Indiana" Coming An explanation of th$ army's new convalescent center at Camp Lockett, Calif., command ed by Col. Frank T. Chamberlin, former medical director and post surgeon of Camp White, is given in an article released by the army service forces head quarters at Ft. Douglas, Utah. Col. and Mrs. Chamberlin left only a few weeks ago for the new station. The article follows: Convalescent soldiers of the army service forces and army ground forces now are regaining strength and enthusiasm for re turn to duty in a healthful atmo sphere of work, study, and play at the army service forces con valescent hospital, Camp Lock ett, California. Situated near the Mexican border, 52 miles southeast of Ban Diego, this recently opened convalescent hospital is design ed for reconditioning and re training wounded soldiers who no longer need actual hospital care. This period of planned jonvalescence assures that the pldier will be returned to his nnit adequately prepared to per form military duty. 3.S00 Capacity With a capacity of 3,500 patients, the convalescent center is the only installation devoted entirely to reconditioning activ ities in the Ninth Service Com mand composed of the states of Washington, Oregon, Califor nia, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Ne vada and Arizona. Major Gen eral David McCoach, Jr., is com manding general. In command of the hospital is Colonel Frank T. Chamberlin, a medical officer with long ex perience in supervising army u !,.. In a climate considered extra-' ordinarily healthful and invig orating the year round, in pic turesque and beautiful sur roundings, Camp Lockett offers the soldier every facility condu cive to physical and mental re habilitation. Two large swimming pools, tennis courts, and a completely equipped gymnasium provide health-building fun and relaxa tion. At nearby Morena Lake soldiers may jenjoy excellent fishing and boating. Gardening activities, for which ample space is available!1 will have a place in the program of recreation. Camp Lockett's stadium, seat ing 7,000, will be used for out door entertainment, much of which will be provided by the patients themselves. An important aspect of the reconditioning program is the careful counselling and classifi cation for training given to each individual throughout the entire period. To realize the maximum growth educationally, physically , and occupationally, the patients are sectionized in classes accord-1 ing to their physical disability, 1 educational background, inter-1 ests and past military training. The common need of the men in each small group determines the : type of educational, physical, : military and occupational activ- j ities participated in. 1 Continuous appraisal of the patient's progress by medical i and reconditioning specialists as-1 sures that his program is con-! stantly adapted to his physical , and mental development. i A rich and varied program prepares these men for return to ! duty as rapidly as possible, at the same time giving them an i insight into their post-war op portunities.. Recreational activ ities include music, art and drama, as well as every type of sports and athletics. Educational j courses in a wide variety of sub- I jects provided under the United States Armed Forces Institute ! or conducted locally are avail able to every man. In the final stage of the pro- , 3 (A America's great sport, sulky McCallister, Jeanne Crain and racing, comes to the screen at June Haver. It is a story of those the Craterian in "Home in Indi- who love horses and racing, ana," with Walter Brennan, Lon gram, the patient receives inten sive military training in the at mosphere of a soldier on full duty. Close order drill, rifle practice, and infiltration course training prepare him for return to a combat unit. Throughout the entire period diligent counselling on his men tal " and emotional problems, orientation courses on every aspect of the war, and expert guidance in the choice of mili tary reassignment have pre pared him to return, emotion ally as well as physically fit, to active military duty. 5 TIMESCHEERY Wendover, Utah, Aug. 29 U.R) Pvt.

A. Krug. He announced his determina tion to bring harmony to the WPB at a special meeting yes terday with the special senate war investigating committee whose chairman, Sen. James M. Mead, D N. Y., said later that Krug had "made a good im pression." Krug- declared that the "crowds" who back Chairman Donald M. Nelson, now on a White House mission to China, and those who backed just resigned executive Vice Chair man Charles E. Wilson, are "either going to be in one group or they are not going to work here." "In other words, if they don't cooperate you'll discharge them and solve the difficulty that way?" asked Sen. Homer Fer guson, R., Mich. "I have every intention that they are going to work togeth ed," Krug said. While Krug met with the committee, Sidney J. Weinberg, WPB trouble -s hooter who sought to smooth difficulties be tween Nelson ' and Wilson, re signed. He said Wilson's resig nation was a "great tragedy" and predicted that the "dema gogic intriguers" who caused it would be banished soon. Tuetday.
