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. C.; Camp Gor
don, Ga.; Camp Mackall, N. C.;

can tell you why
the 7 IH WAR LOAN
is the BIGGEST yet!
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.
If you have an income, whether from work, land, or capital, you have a quota in
the 7th War Loan. Find out what that quota is—and make it!
