DECREASE IN
NUMBER

Over there the authorities have a scheme in hand for the training of a number of conscientious objectors as parachute fire-fighters, the general idea being that they will b; % dropped by parachute at danger points when fires occur in the great national forests of the West. rt would be surprising if this does not result in a very considerable reduction in the U.S. percentage of "C.O.'s."
