I I The Army Legal Assistance pro-j gram was created in 1943 in the in- 1. tferest of soldier morale: the "wor- ried"" soldier and a man with legal problems, however petty, is a wor ' ricd soldier is of little value to the military effort, , How important the program has become is evidenced by the fact that in the first six months of 1955 v: legal assistance officers made a to tal of 158,459 client contacts with servicemen.:.:,:':' ..';, ' v , '. , , . i Colonel Charles M. Munnecke of iiindstrom, Minn, Chief of Army ' tegal Assistance Division, says, We feel we have a very beneficial , ervhje for the service rnjn in con . iection1 with his personal legal af- fairs. The volume of 'wills and owers of attorney is particularly eavy. In this respect, probably tKe Serviceman is more current in his personal legal affairs than, the avert ye citizen." 'jy- '"; , A'power of attorney is the meth od thereby a serviceman gives au-.- thorlty to his wife, and family to . conduct business matters in his ab sence? This is essential because he 'can .anticipate long periods when he will be out of the country and unable! to take care of his affairs himself. : Interpretation Of . fche .provisions of extracts is another big item on thef itice agenda.

When a divorce is mentioned,' Uie client is advised if there are any legal grounds for such action, and discusses questions relative to support of the children, j One such case came to light when a young Wac Voiced her desire for a quick divorce. !. "When were you married?".-was the'question ask ed.' "Saturday," came the quick reply. "What Saturday?" "Last Saturday" just three days previ ous.'' The young" lady was advised that she probably had no grounds for divorce, and was then 'given fatherly advice about her marriage with the suggestion that she give it a fair trial, v The April 15th income tax "deadline" causes a flurry inthe legal office. The serviceman can get aid in filling out his tax return and the legal assistance officer, when possible, adds to its staff a representative of a nearby internal revenue office for the season. ' A serviceman is contemplating the purchase of a home. What is he entitled to by way of financing through FHA or VA? What are "settlement costs?" Is' the, icon tract purchase offered correct? What items of purchase and opera tion are deductions for income tax purposes? The legal assistance of ficer is in a : position ; to answer these and many other questions rel ' ative to the real estate transac tion. ; . ' ' 'f Lawyer referral is another ser vice.
