Women May
Fnlist In
L. S. Marines
ATLANTA, Jan. 16 — In ‘the
glory-bright tradition of heroic
Lucy Brewer, who ‘establisher
herself as the first*Lady Leath
erneck” in 1812, .women are once
more serving in-the regular Uni
ted States Marine Cofps. .
Enlistments were thrown open
to all qualified applicants on
Thursday, January 13, Major K.
L. Reusser, in charge of Marine
recruiting in North Georgia an
sounced nere today. :
Last September enlistments in
ihe regular Marines were extend
ed to those women who had pre
viously served in the Marine
Corps Women Reserves during the
war. Regulations now prescribe
{hat a woman need* mo longer
have previous service in any of
the armed forces to be eligible.
Present requirements for enlist
ments, Maj. Reusser stated, are
that an applicant be between the
ages of 20-31, single, a high school
graduate, and in sound health.
Accepied applicants Uit G
previous service will receive six
weeks' training at the Marine
Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Is
land, S. C. In classes of 48, wo
men recruits while there will:re
ceive a total of %264 instruction
periods of 45 minutes,{leach, gpv;
ering all fundamental military
subjects, with special emphasis on
Marine Corps Administration and
Naval law. A certin number from
each class will also be assigned
further instructions at. the Per
sonnel School. @

rine Corps Headguarters in Wash
ington, Reserve and Recruiting

Organized ~Women’s Reserve
Units, Quantico, Va,; and San
Francisco, Calif.
“Women Marines were invalua
ple during the war,” Maj. Reusser
pointed out, “and they have a vi
tal role in today’s peacetime ser
vice. They are not an auxiliary
unit, but constitute an integral
part of the United States Marine
Corps. As such, they will share
in the same unlimited opportuni
ties enjoyed by malé Marines in
the peacetime Corps.”.
What The People Say
Comer, Ga., Jan. 13, 1949
Dear Editor:
Although I am a staunch support
er of Gov. Herman Talmadge and
White Supremacy I'm forced to
disagree with some of his ideas on
voter qualifications. *
The idea of a registration fee or
poll tax is highly undesirable be
cause it will cause rgueh' confusion
and will keep many qualified vot
ars away from the polls. .. Some
people will not vote if they have
to pay a dollar to do so. This has
been proven in.the.past. And I
believe, after looking'over the past
election, that we have done pretty
well without a ‘poll tax for the
past few years and I believe we
can do without it in the future.
The re-registration of all voters
every two years is another meas
ure that will cause more trouble
than good. It’s hard enough to get
some people to register once in
their lives much less every two
vears. Many of our good voters
will say “to hell with it” before
they’ll journey to the county seat,
go through all the rangtangle of
qualifying and the paying of a
dollar just to get to vote one time.
I believe. the qualification bill
should be so arranged as to require
a voter to register only once, thus
qualifying him for any election,
provided he votes every two years.
If this is"done, and no poll tax is
passed, we can get rid of block vot
ing and unqualified voters, but still
keep our good voters without the
risk of losing them too.
Sincerely yours,
COILE J. GRAHAM

Crime Anonymous: Cons Borrow
From Alcoholics And Tell Each
Other How They Got That Way
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON —(NEA)—The
same theory of treatment being
used on ‘chonic alcoholics is now
being tried on federal prisoners.
Group therapy is the technical
name for it. Alcoholics Anony
mous, the organization of reform
ed problem drinkers working to
help others fight the liquor habit,
first popularized theidea. In AA
it consists of a group of persons
all with the same problem just:
sitting around and talking about
it, with the idea of trying to help
themselves, of course. |
They exchange ideas on how to
fight the habit and try to explain
just what is behind their partic
ular drinking problem. The mere
fact of being able to speak out in
the open about a troublesome per
sonal problem with others whe
share the same problem eases
their mind and helps give them
strength to fight drinking. '
It works the same way for the
federal prisoners. A group is got
ten together and is told that
they can talk over the reasons
why they happen to be in jail.
Sometimes a psychiatrist sits in.
Sometimes the men are alone.
According to a prison official, a
typical session!might go some
thing like this:
Ist P.—“lt’s \gxy father’s fault
that I'm here. When I was a Kid
I always wanted to drive his car
but he just told me to shut up!
when I asked him about it. Even‘
when I was in high school he nev
er let me try it. As soon as I got
out on my own I stole’a car. I
couldn’t help myself. I was driven
foit.”
2nd —.—“ Nuts, that’s a lot of
bunk. You're just lazy. Why
didn’t you get out and work and
earn enough money to buy yourl
own car.”
Ist P.—“l never thought of that,
I guess.”
2nd P.—“My problem was real
ly hard luck not my fault. I fell
off a freight train and hurt my
leg. The pain got so bad I start-]
ed taking dope. I had to. Then
one day they caught me with
some. Here I am. Was that my‘
fault?” N
3rd P.—“ You ‘were probably
running away from some ' job
when you fell off the train.

Erosion Help
BEN FULTON
Tocal rural churches who are
interested in controlling their
grounds from soil erosion can se
cure help from the state soil con
servation service and the Ken
tucky 31 Fescue Association by
contacting Fred B. Wilson, pres
éient of the association, Camming,
a.
Mr. Wilson announces that the
association will furnish rural
churches throughout the state
with three pounds of Kentueky
31 Fescue for planting on the
church grounds provided the
churches make plans to sod the
grounds to control erosion.
O. D. Hall, assistant state con
servationist and local represen
tative of the conservation service,
states that more than 200 rural
churches have already made res
quests for the seed an dthat the
Kentucky 31 Fescue association
has asked the conservation ser
vice to prepare plans for seeding
the grounds of churches who
n_lake requests for controlling ero
sion.
Mr. Hall reported that in 1948
the conservation service distribu
ted Kentucky 31 Fescue through
out the 25 soil conservation dis
tricts, which include 150 counties,
and added that it was proving to
be an excellent grass in control
ling erosion while at the same
time it gives good grazing. :

leg now. And you're not getting
dope now. Hoy do you explain
| that?”
2nd P.—“ They’ve fixed my leg
up here and I don’t need the stuff
anymore. You'll neve r see me
Iback in this place.”
And so it goes..
James V. Bennett, the director
of the federal prison system, ex
plains *that with group therapy
the men are helping themselves
{mentally better than a psychia
trist can, in most cases. They get
things off their chest which have
‘heen bothering them and discover
that they have been Kkidding
tnemselves about some of their
troubles, he says.
Group therapy hasn’t been used
long enough in the prisons to fur
nish any statistics as to how much
it is cutting down on the number
| of repeaters who keep getting sent
Iback to jail. Bennett belieces
that it is helping, however. At
least the population: in federal
|prisons is going down During
1940 there was an all-time high of
20,000 inmates. It has now fallen
to 16,000, although the drop is
certainly not all due to group
therapy. .
Stealing automobiles accounts
for most of the crimes committed
by federal prisoners. The therapy
method helped to reveal that 79
per cent of the men in prison for
that offense claim that they hadn’t
planned to steal a car beforehand,
>but had been tempted to do it
when they discovered parked cars(
with ignition keys in them. Group
therpy may be a method for get
ting at the cause of other kinds|
of crime. :

including a home for himself and
an additional home site for his
