That is where it starts." . Asked what he thought alxmt the Army's racial problems, particularly those in Europe, the Secretary said that they compared to the rest of the United States. "We have racial problems," he said candidly. "We have problems in and the Army is part of the United States of America America. But the good thing alxmt the racial problems of the Army is that they are, so far, less than they were a year ago. There has not been a single, really serious racial problem since about that time. We had NCO clubs where either, whites or blacks would take over and one or the other race went in at his own personal jeopardy. There is none of that now." The Secretary agreed that there is "an occasional little flareup, but it is very, very small." HE SAID racial problems were not completely endthe ed, "but we are in so much better shape and again Commanders are going lack to the principles of leadership.

It is one of the lines from the television commercial stating several past assumptions which have been proven false. One of the assumptions you may have heard in today's Army is that entry into Special InCareer telligence, Army Group 97, is almost impossible. There are over a thousand men and women in the Army who prove this assumption false. How did they do it? They applied, were found to be qualified and were ac cepted.

WHAT HE THOUCHT alxmt the future for Army promotions, the Secretary noted that, compared to the peacetime period of the 1930s, "it will Ixj like Christmas. When compared to the Vietnam buildup, it will be awfully slow. Promotions are slower in a peacetime Army." He said that although the Army was lxsing reduced in we still have a gexxl progressive system and size, any young man or woman who comes in, applies himself or herself, likes the Army, has the educational ability and the ability to further his or her education, can move right up. We are promoting every day, in all enlisted and officer ASKED New SPS James nical your racial problems go down." In referring to the Human Goals Credo of the Department of Defense, which deals in part with equal opportunity for women, as well as men, Secretary Callaway emphasized, we are opening up new military occupational specialties every day. One thing that Is interesting to me is, for example, that women can now apply for such jols as helicopter pilots in the Army. Most people think that women come into the Army to type. Well, sure they come in and type, but they also have all kinds of opportunities in the Army. And, it is exciting and they are doing well. with the excepWe are trying to open all jolw to women tion of those jobs that are related to comlat." Mr. Callaway, who is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and served in Korea was asked for his opinion on the recent "silent treatment" of a cadet by fellow cadets for allegedly having strayed from the honor code at West Point. He replied, "I think the Code of Honor at West Point is extremely valuable to the country. I think it is important that we keep it. Now, the Iest way to destroy it is to get the Secretary of the Army to tell the cadets how to run it. It is run by cadets. If the Army Code does something that is so clearly unfair that I have no choice but to step in, then I will. But my strong feeling is that I ought to stay out of it." Jerome Serhagl, an actechnician in counting Finance and Accounting, was presented a SuggesAward tion Certificate and $35 for his suggestion to eliminate a form used in Finance and "... ranks." In concluding his discussion, Mr. Callaway was asked what advice he could give to an Army man or woman considering leaving the Army. Secretary Callaway responded, "I think that if they get out, they have served their country, they have gained maturity, they have gained an education, so it has lxsen a good thing. But, I would hope they would really consider staying in the Army Ixscause our progressions both in the officer ranks, and through the officer ranks, arc Ixnh excellent.
