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.

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.

L FACTI
N WPB TOLD TO
UNITE OR LEAVE
Washington, Aug. 29 (U.R)
Rival factions within the em
batled War Production Board
were faced today with a blunt
cooperate-or-get-out edict from
the agency's new acting boss,
J. 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.
