Demobilization Row Sparks Warning From General
In Honolulu the Stars and Stripes faced a stern rebuke from Lt Gen Robert Richardson Jr, who warned against any discourtous references to authority in war news. He cited article four and disciplined action for violators while noting news service content remains exempt. A 10,000 GI mass meeting backed a four point plan to speed discharge and demanded March 20 eligibility, reinstating the prior discharge point system and reducing monthly discharge scores, while critics laughed at references to the secretary of war. Army reporters recently tripped up Patterson on demobilization questions.
