Item — Box: 6, Folder: 52

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_6_52_0028

Scope and Contents

The document includes two letters from individuals protesting against the rules and regulations of the Armed Forces and advocating for the discharge of service men who have not completed their college courses before entering the service. The first letter, written by George B. Schwabe, expresses sympathy with the protest and states that more mature men should be used for policing duties instead of young boys. The second letter, written by L. D. Wyant, highlights the injustice faced by servicemen who are not receiving the same opportunities for release as others, such as athletes and actors. Both letters call for a reevaluation of the treatment of servicemen and emphasize the importance of education and fair treatment for all individuals serving in the armed forces.
