'Spruce Green' C.C.C. Uniform
Is Displayed at Fort Dupont
Frank Papuga of Martin, Pa., Civilian Conservation Corps
member at the Fort Dupont Camp, Anacostia, modeling the
new C. C. C. uniform, receives the approval of his fellow enrollee,
Mike De Angelo (left) of Bethlehem, Pa. —A. P. Photo.
What the well-dressed member of
the Civilian Conservation Corps will
wear after October 1 was displayed
yesterday for the first time at the Fort
ftupont Camp at Anacostia when
C. C. C. Director Robert Fechner
approved the corps' new stream
lined “spruce green'’ uniform during
a camp inspection tour. ,
The new' uniform will be issued to
some 50,000 corpsmen in the Atlantic
Seaboard States from Maine to Vir
ginia. officials said, replacing the
corps’ familiar olive drab outfits.
Tailored along civilian lines, ex
cept for an overseas cap. the new'
C. C. C. garb consists of high heavy
duty black shoes, trousers and a
belted-back coat with "bellows back"
pleats and patch pockets. The shirt
will remain olive drab flannel with
an accompanying black tie. An in
signia on the cap and coat depicts a
woodland scene, typical of the center
of C. C. C. activities. The uniform
is made of 20-ounce “melton” cloth
and the new mackinaw for cold
weather consists of 32-ounce fabric.
Adjustable extensions on the half
belts of the new coats permit fitting
of one coat to men ranging from
one to three different sizes.
Approving the new uniiorm. mod
eled by 23-year-old Senior Leader j
Frank Papuga of Martin, Pa., at
the camp. Mr. Fechner said:
■'I am delighted with the change,
which we have been trying to make
lor the last two years. It will not
only improve the corps morale but
will provide the men with a dis
tinctive new uniform of their own.”
Mr. Papuga, asked for his opinion
on the new garb, said that it was
“much dressier than the old.”
There being only one sample of
the uniform at present, a supply
will be manufactured during the
coming months to outfit members of
the 1st, 2d and 3d Corps Areas. The
remainder of the corps throughout
the Nation will wear the familiar
“O. D.” until its supply is exhausted,
officials said.
Accompanying Mr. Fechner were

SAimAGO, Chile, Feb. 2.—Two
United States Army bombers, an
American commercial plane and an
Argentine hospital plane, today
started bringing out injured sur
vivors from small towns in the re
gion devastated by earthquake
January 24.
Conditions in most of the smaller
towns were said to be serious since
relief work there has been slow due
to the pressing needs in hard-hit
cities such as Chilian and Concep
cion.

Army planes last week brought
serum from the Panama Canal Zone
for earthquake victims.
Assisting in the relief work today
was a Pan-American-Grace airliner.
Workers in Concepcion cleared
inhabitants from an area two blocks
square around the city's cathedral in
preparation for dynamiting the
huge cathedral spire which was
badly weakened by the quake.
Two quakes were felt in the Taltal
region of Northern Chile yesterday
but no damage was reported.
Relief Appropriation Hits Snag.
A government plan to appropriate
2,500,000,000 pesos ($125,000,000) for
earthquake relief and reconstruc
tion ran into strong opposition.
Some financial quarters expressed
belief a sharp increase in taxes
would endanger the nation’s eco
nomic position and that a foreign
loan of that amount would be im
possible to arange at 3 per cent in
terest. •
United States Ambassador Nor
man Armour, who made a personal
inspection of the earthquake area,
departed today by plane for Wash
ington, where it was believed he
planned to report on the disaster.
Sales-Income Tax Favored
Indorsing the report of the Citi
zens’ Advisory Committee on Dis
trict ’Taxation, the Women’s City
Club last night urged the approval
by Congress of the 2 per cent sales
income tax provided in the report.
The tax provides for a 2 per cent
levy on all sales in the District,
exempting food and medicine, and
a tax on incomes in excess of
$15,000.
