Joseph's Testimony to Cod’s Provi
deuce.
I.essnn for September 23: Genesit
43:IS, 9.15.
Memory Selection: Psalms 10? :8.
The greatest of men have not
been ashamed to weep. Picture
jourself in Joseph’s place, imagine
jou are seeing your own brothers
end hearing from your aged
father for the first time in years
*dH you should not be surprised to
Bead that, when Joseph had lis
tened to Judah’s plea in behalf of
Je d and Benjamin he was fast
Ibt.i.g control of his emotions.
Commanding the Egyptians pres
ent to leave him alone with hir
brothers. Joseph gave way tc
tears and wept aloud. Then he said,
“I am Joseph; doth my father yet
■ve?” Still the guilty men who ha»
sold him into slavery “were
troubled at his presence." Perhaps
dkey thought be had only wept be
cause of his aged father and his
•wn full brother, and would yet
wreak vengeance upon them.
But the man 'who could weev,
could also forgive. With perfec,
sympathy for them in their dis-
Wess, he bade them not be grieve'.;
that they had sold him into Egy^
—“for God,” he assured them, “d. j
send me before you to preservt
Ife.” Whatever their guilt, God hr..’
overruled what they had done f?>*
flood. Thus did Joseph testify to
Cod's providence in his own lr«
and for his people.
Then Joseph unfolded to then*
bow the providence of God woul:
further work out for them — they
end their families and their fiocir*
would be settled in the lar.j .«?
Cos hen where he would cfriv tor
mem during the remain?:.* 3v w
years of famine. Then he and Zer,-
jpmin wept upon each other, »-r~'
Joseph kissed all his broll.srs 9r?
wept upon them. And res s*. air J
washed away in tears, •‘itis bredt'
wm talked with him.**

SPEED DP DISCHARGES OF SERVICE PERSONNEL
Point Changes to Add to"
. Number Eligible for Release
' o
By AL JEDLICKA
As a result of recent revisions in army and navy dis
charge plans, nearly 8,600,000 soldiers and sailors are
scheduled to be released from the services within the next
year as Uncle Sam warily pares his military might to post
war proportions.
Representing almost 20 per cent of America’s prospec
tive peacetime labor force, the 8,600,000 servicemen are
figured to be returned to civilian^* —
life at a pace consistent with the re
conversion program, thus averting
the danger of vast postwar unem
ployment and further maladjust
ments in the nation’s economy.
Alteration of both the army and
navy discharge score system* chief
ly contributed to the increased
tempo of scheduled releases, but
lowering of the army’s age limit
for separation also helped to swell
the overall number.
Under new army regulations, ap
proximately 5,000,000 enlisted men
and 600,000 officers will be back in
civilian togs within a year, it was
estimated. Roughly, that would
leave well over a million men in
the service for occupation duties
in Germany and Japan, garrison
ing of strategic outposts and terri
tories and continental U. S. de
fense.
Hundreds of thousands of troops
were expected to become eligible
for discharge during ensuing
months as a result of the reduction
in the point requirements from 85
to 80 and bringing the scores up to
date. Many WACs also were ex
pected to benefit by a lowering
•,»f their credits to 41 points. Un
der army procedure points are
computed by crediting a soldier
with one for every month of serv
ice; one additional for every month
of overseas duty; five for each corn-
hat award, and 12 for each depend
ent up to a total of thrte under 18
years of age.
At the same time, G.I.s 35 years
of age or over, with a minimum of
two years of service, were made
eligible for discharge. For those
with less than two years of service,
however, the release age remains
at 38.
With the announcement of the
army’s discharge plans for officers,
no less than 200,000 became imme
diately eligible for release, with an
other 400,000 scheduled for separa
tion within a year. Two hundred
thousand would thus be left for
postwar duty.
Whereas officers previously had
been discharged on the basis of in
dividual review of their applica
tions, the army’s new plan calls
for blanket release of men with
sufficient points except in the cases
of key personnel.
Colonels, lieutenant colonels and
majors require 100 points; captains
and first and second lieutenants, 85,
and warrant and flight officers, 80.
In addition, nurses must have 65
points, WAC officers 44, and physi
cal therapists and dietitians, 41.
In announcing the lowering of its
point scores for enlisted men, the
army said the action .was Li con
formance with its policy of alter
ing the credits progressively to
maintain a high level of discharges.
However, it was a^ain emphasized
*
that the availability of transporta
tion will continue to influence the
• speed of returning eligible men
home, though every home-bound
ship and plane is being utilized.
(Besides providing for an acfcel-
eVation of discharges, the army
also took steps to prevent the dis
patch of battle vets and older men
overseas for occupation duties. The ‘
action followed loud protests from 1
servicemen, as well as civilians, •
over plans for sending G.I.s with ,
European combat records to the Pa
cific with large pools of other \
troops available in the country.
About 665,000 men were expect- .
ed to be affected by the order that .
G.I.s 37 or older or with.45 or mora
points were not to be dispatched
overseas. Also exempted were sol- :
diers between 34 and 37 with a year
of military service. . >
As the army cut down its point
scores to facilitate releases, the ,
navy added computation of over
seas service to its previously an- ’
nounced point system to make over v
750,000 eligible for immediate sep- ,
aration. In all, an additional 2,000,-
000 or more men will be let out '
within a year, bringing the postwar ,
naval strength to 500,000.
Before allowing one-fourth of a
point for each month of overseas
service, the navy had made no pro
vision for such duty in its discharge 1
formula # requiring male officers to
have 49 points; enlisted personnel, . >
44; WAVE officers, 35. and enlist- *’
ed WAVES, 29. The score for avia- /
tors was set at 44 and for doctors
at 60. k
Besides now being able to add •
one-fourth of a point for every
month of overseas service to their
scorecard, navy personnel can con
tinue to mark up one-half point
for each year of age to the nearest
birthday; one-half point for each
month of active service, and 10
points for dependency, regardless
of number.
Overseas service was meant fc* •
include duty on any ship in com- *
mission and such activity outsidv-
the U. S. as fleet operations, shor* i
establishment, armed guard crews,
communications and combat >
groups, amphibious forces or mo
bile hospital units.
