FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1945. THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE GIs Will Get Board and Free Trip Home Atlanta Ga., May 23—The south east is faced with its gravest trans portation problem, brought o nby the returning American soldiers who, by the Army’s point system, have been designated for action in the Pacific against the Japanese and who will stop in the United States for a visit at, home a n <l for a period of retrain ing, according to Colonel H. U. Wil liams, transportation officer, Fourth Service Command. Colonel Williams outlined the job ahead by explaining the adopted p.an i for the return of GIs from Kurope and their preparation for the Pacific campaign which means that there will be fewer coach seats or Pullman berths for the traveling public for the coming year. When an infantry division from the Euiopean theater lands at an Atlantic port, the men will go to a staging area. Soldiers from many states will be in thab division. Then entire division will be broken down into reception station groups accord ing to the geographical demands. Some will be from the southwest, some from the west, some from .the middle Atlantic states and others from the southeast. Special Pullman trains will be made up at the staging area’s rail center to take the returned soldiers to their home areas, delivering the troops to reception stations closest to their homes. At these reception stations, Army officers will have been advised the number of men en- route and within 48 hours after ar rival, each man will be supplied with a train ticket to his home and return, plus meal tickets for his subsistence enroute. Wfyen they leave the reception sta tion for home they will not be on furlough—in which case they would have to bear their own expenses, of rail travel and meals They will be on “temporary duty” which means that the Army pays transportation and buys the food—hence their visit home doesn’t cost them a dime. When their “temporary duty” at home is ended they return to the reception station. It will be a general gathering of buddies who have visit ed relatives and friends in many states. Thus assembled—on a speci fied date—they will entrain for the assembly station to which their di vision has been assigned and there will take further training in the technique of fighting the war against the Ja.ps. When this period of train ing is finished, they will be sent to the ports of embarkaiton for the Pacific trip Thus explains Colorel Williams, hundreds of thousands of troops must be transported promptly where tens of thousands formerly were handled, because of the speeded-up program. Another angle pointed out by Colo nel Williams ,is that the individual soldier will not—and is not expect ed to—stay in his home town for the duration of his “temporary duty.” He will want to visit relatives in othen towns, perhaps in other states. Transportation expenses in such cases will be borne by the individual but such travel will bring added loads on the nation’s rail facilities. Reception stations in the southeast have been designated as: Fort 'Mc Pherson, Ga; Camp Blanding, Fla.; Camp Gordon, Ga.; Fort Bragg, N. C., and Camp Shelby Miss. Assembly stations, where troops will retrain include Fort Benning, Ga.; Fort Bragg, N. C.; Camp Mc Cain, Miss.; Fort Jackson, S. C.; Camp Rucker, Ala.; Camp Stewart, Ga.; Camp Butner, N.

Y OU ARE being asked to lend more money than ever before—in the 7th War Loan. These men can tell you why. They can tell you of giant ships ready to slide down the ways this year. They can tell you of a whole new air force in the building—huge new bombers and fast new jet-propelled planes coming off the lines by thousands. They could show you why it is cheaper and quicker to give our Pacific Forces entirely new equipment sometimes—instead of shipping tanks and guns from Europe. They can, in short, show you 101 ways in which your dollars are needed more than ever to bring America’s might to its full strength— so that we may crush our foe the faster, make an end of killing, and brincf our men back home. Will you afford tell to these men "I can’t buy my share"? T HE GENERALS and admirals can show us why our money is needed—more money than before. But other men can show us something, too. They’re the men with twisted, crippled limbs ... with clever iron hooks instead of hands. The blind men ... the men with scarred, seamed faces. And perhaps wont of all, the men with blasted, darkened minds. They can show us, clearly, how small is any sacrifice we make in lending money.
