For Information-Education Officers

While some of you will want to cooperate with Armed Forces Radio Service outlets in organizing G.I. Radio Roundtable series, others will want to use such series as stimulation for discussion groups.

For practical suggestions on the conduct of off-duty discussion groups, see the War Department Education Manual EM 1, G.I. Roundtable: Guide for Discussion Leaders. This manual can be requisitioned from USAFI, Madison, Wisconsin, or the nearest USAFI Oversea Branch, in accordance with War Department Circulars Nos. 68 and 311, 1944.
