Missouri editors learned camouflage technique first-hand from Capt. William C. Pahlmann, commanding officer of Jefferson Barracks camouflage school, whose troops gave a practical demonstration to some 250 state editors, members of the Missouri Press Association, who were "inducted" into the army Friday for a 24-hour period. From left, Mr. and Mrs. Ray E. Miller of the Carl Junction Standard, Capt. Pahlmann, H. H. Coffee of the Western Newspaper Union, Mrs. C. L. Blanton Sr. of the Sikeston Standard and H. M. Jungbluth of the Western Newspaper Union, discussing the demonstration.
"A practical demonstration of the art of camouflage was a high spot in the two-day visit of members of the Missouri Press Association to Jefferson Barracks. Here a portion of the group is shown under a camouflage net as a "battle" rages in the area just in front of them. The tour of the post included inspection of the Air Forces Training Command's training activities and a night spent in GI barracks at the Jefferson Barracks Reception Center."
