Officials find few discrimination cases against soldiers
An Associated Press report from Washington states only a few instances of higher prices charged to soldiers were found in a nationwide inquiry led by Secretary Baker. When discrimination occurred, officers paid more for necessities, while many prices showed no discrimination and some merchants offered discounts to soldiers. The War Department will place library boxes on departing troop trains, with YMCAs and local librarians contributing periodicals and magazines.
