"Any problem of interest to group participants may be debated, provided that it has the approval of commanding officers concerned," the department stated. The guide book says that before any material published by a private or public agency is used for discussion the commanding officer should satisfy himself that it complies with restrictions in the federal voting law on dissemination of political argument for propaganda to members of the armed forces. Department officials, asked if this meant that the men could not start political discussions, declared that there was no ban on that. They noted that army regulations, while prohibiting any attempt by an officer to influence any member of the armed forces to vote or not vote for a candidate, provided that "nothing in this act shall be deemed to prohibit free discussion regarding political issues or candidates for public office." Objectives of the discussion program, the department said, were "to strengthen morale by assisting men to recognize, analyze and understand problems about which they feel concern; furnish background y facts which ru: nf- frarke Illustrates the larae amount vif i nis vaoi. itcigni mnu. ing and out of the Garfield, Utah smelter.
