the campaign, Mr. Weil said,
will be used solely in connection
with the expansion of its emer-
gency Army and Navy program,
in which field the Board is recog-
nized by the War and Navy De-
partments as the official repre-
sentative of the Jewish com-
munity.
The solicitation of gifts among
individuals of large means and
leading corporations will begin
immediately. June 3 has been
set as the date of opening the
general campaign to solicit all
citizens. The agencies are plan-
ning service club facilities in 339
places adjacent to camps, naval
stations and defense industry
centers throughout the United
States and its overseas bases.
The Government will provide
buildings, it was explained, and
the U.S.O. will provide funds
for their operation and the ac-
companying program of social,
educational and religious activi-
ties.

WASHINGTON BLVD. AND GRAND RIVER
In his announcement of the
campaign Walter Hoving, presi-
dent of the U.S.O., which has
established national headquarters
in the Empire State Building
in New York City, declared:
"More than 1,400,000 young
Americans are now in uniform.
Many of them are in huge train-
ing centers, built in haste to
meet a national emergency. Sol-
diers sometimes outnumber, by
five or ten times, the adult pop-
ulation of nearby towns and vil-
lages.
"When the soldiers go into
town by the thousands, evenings
and week-ends, there is too often
no place for them to go, nothing
to do, no good friend to meet
the lonely, no morale-building
recreation. Boys stand aimlessly
on the sidewalk, wondering what
to do, and those who seek to
exploit the boys, sometimes vic-
iously, are eager to supply the
answer.
"The United Service Organi-
zations plan to bring our sol-
diers, sailors, and youth in our
defense industries, a measure of
the hospitality, the spiritual in-
fluence and the comfort which
the people at home want them
to have.
"Fathers and mothers all over
the country, are demanding that
this be done. We are acting also
at the request of the President
of the United States, the Secre-
tary of War, the Secretary of
the Navy, and the Federal Social
Security Administrator.
"As more thousands leave for
camp, the need grows daily more
acute. For that reason we need
large advance gifts immediately
to help us get our program start-
ed, to rent, furnish and staff
temporary huts for the soldiers
and sailors.
"In the meantime, as fast as
we can, we will organize the
nation-wide appeal to all citizens
for the money needed for a full
year's operation."
Initial gifts to the United Serv-
ice Organizations for National
Defense, Inc., it was explained,
should be sent to its offices in
the Empire State Building in
New York City.
Preliminary plans for the
buildings which the U.S.O. mem-
ber agencies will operate pro-
vide for a central entertainment
hall seating 500, reading and
game rooms, lunch counters, lock-
ers, showers and general service
club facilities.
The agencies, it was explained,
are also planning to use their
existing facilities to the fullest
possible extent in serving soldiers
and sailors, and also workers
in defense industries.
The Y.W.C.A., for example, is
workers, in places where local
developing plans for defense
resources are inadequate. Typ-
ical of these emergencies are
great defense industries, such as
powder works, which are being
built far from the cities and
larger towns and are drawing
thousands of young women work-
ers away from their homes.
The program of the agencies,
it was explained, is designed to
meet needs of serving soldiers,
sailors and defense workers over
and above what local communi-
ties are already doing and are
expected to continue to do.
