Move Is Being Made To Provide Adequate Answer For Dependents

"Put it in writing" is the War Department order to soldiers who have not taken out the full $10,- 000 life insurance policy offered them at the lowest possible rates, according to Lt. J. W. Inzer, post •officer.

Every effort is being made to •oid any carelessness or negli- gence in the handling of personel affairs, which may cause benefi- ciaries much suffering and priva- tion, and the War . Department considerable embarrassment,, the insurance official explained.

In a plan outlined by Washing- ton headquarters, every soldier, whether he be officer or enlisted man, and regardless of vvheer sta- tioned, will be required to fill out a refusal form if he is not carry- ing the maximum, $10,000, of Na- tional Service or United States Government Life Insurance. Forms will be issued to all units shortly, and a report of the. re- sults is to be submitted to the life insurance officer, post headquar- ters through channels by June 30. CASUALTIES INEVITABLE

The War Department recognizes that certain good reasons exist for not taking out the -government- sponsored insurance; their only wish is that every soldier seri- ously consider the personal re- sponsibility of safeguarding his dependents, and act accordingly,

GENERAL GROW

General Grow . Takes Command Of 6th Armored

Officer Hod Been GO Of Combat Command A, 10th Armored Division

Brigadier General Robert W. Grow, commander of Combat Commany A of the 10th Armored Division since its activation, left late Sunday, by plane for Ca.li fornia to assume command of the 6th Armored Division Camp Cooke.

Accompanying General Grow was his aide, Capt. Donald F. Forbes. The general was out in the field directing a combat com- mand maneuver problem when he learned of his new assignment. Col. Kenneth G. Althaus of the 11th Armored Regiment is tem- porarily in charge of Combat Command A.

General Grow is a native of Iowa and a graduate of the Uni- versity of Minnesota. He was commissioned in the regular army from the Minnesota National Guard in 1916. Although com- missioned in cavalry, he served in the , field artillery during World War I, for several months as a gunnery instructor at Fort Sill and later as a battery com- mander in the 1st Field Artillery under the then' Col. Jacob L.

After the Armistice he served in Germany in the 1st Division. Returning in 1919, he served in various cavalry reg- iments and details and graduat- ed from Leavenworth in 1929 and from the Army War College in 1936.

BEGAN IN 1930

The General's mechanical ex- perience began in 1930 when he became S-3' officer of the mech- anized force at Fort Eustis. Later he became executive officer of the 1st Cavalry, Mechanized, at, Fort Knox, when his regiment become the first iron-clad unit of the old cavalry regiments.

From Fort Knox, General Grow, then a major, went to Leavenworth to instruct in. mech- anization in 1934-35. He then served , a four-year tour in the Office of Chief of Cavalry, where he headed the supply and fiscal section during the period of de- velopment of much of the present Armored Force equipment \ Following the organization of the Armored Force, General Grow, now a lieutenant-colonel, became G-3 of the 2nd Armored Division under General Scott and later, under General Patton. He left the Second in the fall of 1941 to take command of the 34th Armored Regiment in the Victory Wivision. He was pro- moted, to his present grade in March, 1943, and assigned to the 8th Armored Division upon its activation. He was transferred to the 10th Armored Division when it was formed and assigned to command Combat Command A.

General Grow is 45 years old. Mrs. Grow and their two boys, 10 and 15, have been ma^jng their home at Fort Benning,

in two groups, one from Fort Har- rison, Indiana,, and another fron Camp Grant, Illinois, at 2 o*elock.

One 'loner* arrived last night from Fort Bliss, Texas, and just before midnight, four more came in from Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Eleven more were due to arrive today from Camp Perry, Ohio.

Thus did the vanguard of 12, 000 young selectees arrive in Fort Benning. From now on, they will be coming in increasing numbers until the three regiments- of the Basic Training Center are filled, probably within the next six weeks.

TO 4TH REGIMENT •''..-

The first arrivals were assign- ed to the 4th Basic Training1 Regi- ment which is located in the Har- mony Church area "in' what -was once a part of the Second Student Training Regiment. ' Its barracks wh,ich are between First and Eighth Division roads, were occu- pied for a short time by the 176th prior to its rtjhoval to the Main Post.

been given the age ot the selectees in planning the training program. Physical conditioning of the se- lectees will have a large part in the program.

Col. W; McK. Spann, executive officer of the Traininf Center, "clarified the future of the train- ees to this extent: those who suc- cessfully complete the 13 weeks of basic training, will be sent to _ jlassification college. There they will be interviewed by . a classi- fication board consisting of facul- ty members -of the- college after

which they will be classified and sent the type of school for which they are fitted.

Theater No. 8 To Reopen June 15

Scheduled to reopen June 15 at Fort Benning is Theater No. 8, which was destroyed by fire-last winter, according to Major James C. Sutton, post theater officer. .

Seven hundred new and com- fortable, permanent chairs will re- place the wooden benches and steel folding chairs, formerly used to accommodate the audience.

All necessary projection equip- ment is on hand, and the major explained that it was planned to make the shift without interrup- tion of show schedule. At pres- ent, one of the nearby class-rooms is used as a temporary theater.

WASH CRISIS AFFECTS 800 POST FAMILIES

Col. Massey Blames Labor Shortage; Enlisted Men Given Priority

Approximately 800 Fort Benning families who have been depending on the Quartermaster laundry, for service have until June 15 to make other arrangements, Col. Stephen B. Massey, director of supply at the post, announced this week.! The announcement came f ollbw- g a letter from Fourth Service Command headquarters in Atlan- ta which stated , that because of a manpower and machinery short- " age no more family work will be processed in quartermaster laun- dries and that all work "for offi- cers . and enlisted men will be standardized and processed in the same manner.

The number of family bundles processed at the post has risen sharply with each month recently, according to officers at the laun- dry. In February, 'almost 3,000 family bundles were received- and that figure has been exceede'd in each month since, although exact figures were not available today.

In order to allow , families time to make other arrangements, the order from Atlanta will not be placed in effect at once, Col. Mas- sey said, and the 15-day grace pe- riod has been granted, ENLISTED MEN FIRST

The . order , -from Atlanta also stated that when necessary enlist- ed- men's laundries will be done to the' exclusion of that of all other personnel.

The order here comes close upon the he>ls of changes in laundry policies in downtown Columbus, where most firms will not. take family bundles. Two firms report that they take men- and women's clothing in separate bundles and See WASH, Page 7

June 7 Issue Will Devote 9 Pages To Training Activities

The product of several weeks' of writing and picture taking will appear in the June 7 issue of Life magazine which devotes nine pages to The Infantry School.

Myron Davis of Life's photo- graphic staff, made two trips to . Fort Benning and spent days mak- ing pictures which will accompany the story of the Officer Candidate School. Not satisfied with all of . those he took on his first trip; he returned two weeks ago to retake some pictures, striving for. per- fection in content in order to pre- sent an accurate pictorialization of OCS.

. Working with Cameraman Da- vis were Miss Gertrude Epstein and Bill Howland.' staff writers of Life who covered the officer can- didate course thoroughly ' in ob- taining text, material for .the es- say.

They attended demonstrations, talked with instructors and stud- ied such . equipment as was per- missible until they had a first hand and accurate working knowledge of their subject. <

Their efforts and those of Life's editors have resulted in a most graphic presentation.

Forest Ghapel Built In 3rd Reg't, ^4^'

Soldiers Of All Faiths Worship In Open-Air Grove Sanctuary

A forest chapel built' by soldiers of all faiths, set in the natural sanctuary of a wooded grove was dedicated by the Second battalion- of the Third Student Training regiment at services conducted there recently by its .chaplain, 1st Lt. Wil-'L Ham G. Kirschbaum. *

Known as "The-Chapel-in-the- Grove," the site has art entrance which is marked, in rustic letters, with the opening words of Wil- liam Cullen Bryant's "Forest Hymn": "The i groves were God' first temples." Under the ceiling of boughs and leafy branches, log benches face an altar which bears a simple wooden cross.

Plans for the chapel origiftated with the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Burnell V. Bryant. Building and location of the altar and benches were accomplished by soldiers of all faiths. A loudspeak- er system and a field organ com- plete the equipment in the natural amphitheater. A musical program is played every Sunday for a half hour before the 11 o'clock ser- ice.

WORSHIP IN RAIN

Increasing attendance at the chapel was amply demonstrated on a recent Sunday when ah as- sembly of- more thap 300 took look communion in the rain,

which showing prompted the chaplain to remark that those rites would probably be only the . first that officer candidates would attend under similar adverse con- ditions in far away lands.

The new chapel already . has provided the setting for- an .out- door wedding, the marriage of Marion R. Laue and Lieut. Nicho- las J. Thermos of the First Stu- dent Training Regiment, both from Hinsdale, 111., having taken place at a twilight ceremony May 21.

Leaving the chapel by rough log steps built into the slope, the worshippers pass under the bene- diction of the final words of "Forest Hymn": ". . . Be it ours to meditate, In these calm shades, thy

milder majesty, Arid to the beautiful order of

thy works Learn to conform the order :- of onr lives." |r

He noted with dismay that some of his boys had, for all practical

purposes made a vow to keep clear of barber chairs. Heads were growing bushy, and to the musing Lieutenant, were assuming the conventional appearance attrib- uted to emotional musicians.

The men have been undergoing extensive training for the last sev- eral days. They have taken long hikes, one of them a 27 mile af- fair, some of it cross country. On these hikes, they carried, in ad- dition to full packs and personal weapons, mortars and machine guns. -However on the march

which began this morning, they I had only their full packs and per- sonal weapons.

I The goal of 40 miles per day i depends entirely on the condition I of the men. If they are able, they 'will go farther. However it was I stressed that regardless of the jtime involved, the men must be | brought into Fort Benning ready | to fight if a fight was necessary.

Perhaps your .husband has been complaining of late how hot and sticky his silk pa- jamas feel now that the tem- perature is rsing. Silk night- wear is fine fk>r winter, but for summer nights the most suitable outfit is macte of lightweight ■ash cotton. The main floor of MONTGOMERY WARD COM- PANY is stocked with men's pajamas, all colors and sizes ranging from A to D. These slip-on or coat style pajamas are made of wash ripple-cloth (sim- ilar to seersucker) and light, but durable rayon acetate material. The new style jackets sans col- lar and . lapels help a bit to keep the wearer cool too. The cotton pajamas have long or short sleeves and afford a wide selec- tion of stripes, prints and paisley patterns. Perhaps an old fashioned, cotton night shirt is what your husband wants for summer night wear on his visits ■with Morpheus. They're really not as old fashioned as one 9< i might think and they are loose and comfortable without re- sembling a circus tent. Father's " would be an appropriate to give a gift of these at- tractive pieces of . nightwear. Husbands or Fathers or Sons will all approve the pajamas you =e from this reasonably priced assortment.

This June many Fathers might be called Army Fathers. The J. A. KIR- VEN CO. has kept in mind that ALL fathers like to re- . . eeive surprise packages oh '' Father's Day. . Suitable as . gifts are their Jantzen boxer - type swimming trunks in military tan and a blue shade which is espec- ■ . icily popular with those in • the paratroops. Bathrobes which might well be used as beach robes are well made and reasonably priced. A pair of trunks and a robe to match would indeed surprise and delight any Father, mil- itary or no. Especially for the army man is a regulation tie and handkerchief set, both the hanky and tie be- iflg army tan color. What- ever you have in mind to give your Fathter this June or have your children give ".. their father you'll find . what you wish or get some good ideas by shopping around the main floor of J- A. Kirven Co. Their dis- plays of the clips, cuff links, •garters, pajamas, Army and civilian shirts, socks .and so on ad infinitum . . . will de- light you and be hot too •great a strain on your pock- etbook.

While men- tioning shoes, bags, hose and things it could do no harm to remind you the time is fast ap- proaching when shoe coupon No. 17 will be invalid. June 15 is just two weeks away, not very long, but still time enough for you to shop at Miller-Taylor's and end up with attractive shoes, hosiery and handbag without having to shop from store to store.

Ninety degrees in the shade out here on Block 23 and it's just as hot in Co- lumbus. There's one conso- lation though, after an afternoon shopping in town dropping in at the centrally located CITY PHAR- MACY gives one a chance to have an appetizing snack and a frosty drink forget-1 ting the torrid weather mo- mentarily. To many of us who - travel to town rather - early in the morning and spend the whole day, the nicely served luncheons in this complete pharmacy are a welcome treat. Some day soon when you're in Colum- bus, why not have luncheon or the popular Shopper's Tea. After doing this just take a few moments and browse around and see the complete prescription de- partment which will care- fully compound your phar- maceutical needs. Notice also the vast assortment of makeup materials which are all attractively displayed. Here experienced assist- ance will be offered you if you wish help selecting cor- rect shades of lipstick, rouge and powder. Now that you're acquiring a summer tan you'll want to wear a correct makeup to bring out the best in your lovely gol- den-bronze skin tones. If you're seeking cosmetics, medicines, knick-knacks, or an appetizing bite to eat, you'll find them all at City Pharmacy.

There are many days when wearing just a dress doesn't seem quite the thing to do, Often a pair of well cut slacks, if you have the figure for them, will make you feel comfortable and well dressed. Wearing slacks around the house or to do a bit of gardening in your Victory Garden can be quite the thing. You'll understand what I mean if you ' shop for at KAYSER - LILIEN- txi^. Their slacks are really beautifully made and not the droopy affairs that so many lesser ouality slacks are. Many of the 'slack sets have slacks, jacket and a skirt to match so when you're finished your bit of work you'll be able to slip off your slacks, don your smoothly tailored skirt and be all set for the day. These slacks are made of easy-to- iron sharkskin and butcher linen. Short and long sleeves are avail- able. One especially attractive outfit I spied combined a red, not too bright a red, though, jacket with navy blue slacks. Others have white sharkskin jackets with brass buttons, sim- ilar to the Navy summer uni- form, the slacks with this style jacket are Navy blue or black. You'll find bright hued and rather intricate sets, or perhaps -ore subdued styles and colors, you wish. ■

THIRTY SOLDIERS of the 176th Infantry today began a forced march from Atlanta to Fort Benning in preparation for which they have undergone intensive training in cross country marching. Under the supervision of the Infantry Board, this group, picked at random from the 176th, hopes to make at least 40 miles per day and still be in good, con- dition for a battle at the end of their march. They are_pictured negotiating a bit of rugged terrain in the vicinity of Marne Road.— (TIS Photo)

Staff. His selection of the name ended a dilemma over naming the division, occasioned by the fact it was- composed of 27 National Guard units from 26 states and the District of Columbia. Each wanted a name symbolizing its state.

Colonel MacArthur, now Gen- eral MacArthur in command of American forces in the South Pa- cific, decided that a 'rainbow' covered the division adequately and could be applied in many ways, such as covering the terri- tory from which the troops came, covering the general thought and spirit for which they were fight- ing.

In the records of the division is a notation that before every major engagement in which fought there appeared a rainbow.

On the day the officers of the new Rainbow Division reported to Fort Benning to begin their month's course, a rainbow ap- peared over their barracks in the

American Soldiers Have - No Excuse. For Sloppiness

One of the worst abominations in this un- happy world is a sloppy soldier in garrison and ... one certainly sees some rare specimens in any garrison town or place where men congregate off _ duty.

Painful though it may be io admit it, the fact :~must be faced that our companion services, the' "Navy and the Marines have us lashed to the mast in the matter of bearing and appearance. • Par- ticularly in the case of the Navy with the acute limitations for keeping up appearances the sight of a dirty or untidy sailor is so rare as to be con- spicuous. .

Of course outfits vfery in the degree to which they stress matters of cleanliness of person, and neatness of uniform and a certain responsibility : can be, laid at the feet of officers and non-coms - who allow the men to leave their area with a sub-standard appearance. In at least one.com- :.pany here at Fort.Benning a man is not given his pass unless he is pressed, polished, chined end combed as he should be.

However much authorities may stress these points no man can be forced beyond a certain .'-point to look clean and smart unless he has the " will to do it himself. Naturally such statements can't possibly apply to men who are doing dirty work or on field problems but these criticisms are not directed at such. They apply rather to those lads supposedly in "dress" uniform about the post and on the streets of the town who look like refugees from an unsuccessful barnstorming . ^company of "Tobacco Road".

In a certain European country during peace times when universal military training obtained it was amusing to watch the soldiers one saw on the streets. Each looked as though he had chosen )iis own clothing according to individual whim end every one of them, even during the hot sum- mer months, had some sort of handkerchief, rag or choker, inevitably dirty, wound around his neck. A messy and forlorn looking crew they were indeed. However they were merely mili- • tery equivalents of what -they had been in civilian 'life and what they'd return to being: clodhopping louts who never had any privileges in the army -or out of it.

' No such reason or excuse can be plead for the r.,' -untidy American soldier. We are provided with -adequate clothing of excellent quality'and we are ... ' well paid; in many instances the equivalent of .1: considerably more than civilian life allowed us.

In outfitting men at the induction centers the i-y- -/quartermasters do a superb job of fitting the garment to the man, despite innumerable not- very-funny grade "C" jokes to the contrary by cartoonists and humorists. In such cases as a

• man is given things which do not fit him he has every chance to exchange them for his correct size.

■ • Such minor alterations as the shortening of

trousers and the taking in of shirts can be done at '•'the cost of between 35 and 50 cents at a post •• tailor or a dressmaker in a nearby community. ' Laundry costs are absurdly cheap while dry

cleaning and pressing is done at prices lower than

• .the cut-rate shops during peace time.

■ ^ It is no uncommon thing to hear G. I.'s yearn- ing for a return to civilian clothes. Those who moan loudest on this score are almost inevitably •the scurviest looking soldiers. You may tiepend upon it that they cut no dashing figure on the

' right side of the Avenue al four p. m. in civilian life nor were they,, the cynosure of all eyes - at Voisin's, Southampton and Piping Rock. On the contrary they probably always looked as though

^they'd just escaped from the book of birds. _ Many mournful creatures deplore the fact that a uniform standardizes men and erases character. This is utter unqualified rubbish. In civilian life one will almost inevitably find that it is the fourth raters who go in for peculiarities of dress to attract attentionHo themselves. These are the inadequate souls who, not having sufficient strength of character to give them distinction, indulge in odd hats and weird neckties to com- pensate for their deficiencies of personality.

One of the foremost tailors in the world, Mr. Gray, of Gray and Lampel, once told the writer that material and cut were the most important factors in the distinction of clothing. American "Army dress uniforms are designed by experts in ..that field and, within the limitations of ready- made clothing, are finely cut. Certainly their material is first rate. Well— after all, it is no doubt an accomplishment of some magnitude 'when a soldier manages to look like the wreck oMhe Hesperus. .Consider that he has success- fully frustrated all the efforts of the war depart- ment of the richest country in the world to the contrary.

American Soldiers Keep Their Hands Off Loot

It has been said of Americans in the last war that they fought it for souvenirs and, indeed a

' distressing number of American households in the 1920's rejoiced in a parlor lamp which started out in life as the case of a French 75 mm shell. Few "dens", also, had not a German helmet and what county courthouse lacked- a couple of obsolete siege guns or field pieces? Indeed, were the Brandenburg Gate slightly less massive it migh

'at this moment, be straddling Fifth Ave. at 25th Street. , M-

During a recent press conference General Mc- Nair remarked, apropos his experiences in North Africa, that although we have been teaching the uses of mines since the maneuvers of 1941, Amer- ican troops Ho not seem to have profited by he instructions they have been given. Whde tte

■ General did not particularize, it -is a pretty sate

bet that a considerable number of these mines were booby traps baited with just the sort of glit- tering and ingenious gadget for which all G. I.'s are naturals and fall guys. '

In the old days anything he could lay his hands on in enemy territory was considered fair game for soldiers and their leaders set them an example as witness the case of Napoleon . who ■ ravaged every capital in Europe- of -its major works of art including the great bronze horses which adorned the portico -of St .Mark's Cathe- dral in Venice but which were returned after the Congress of Vienna.

The soldiers in the old days were J paid very poorly and irregularly. Service was largely vol- untary and looting was considered a legitimate part of the soldier's compensation. The sack of Peking by foreign soldiery, for instance, occurred less than half a century ago and many of the ob- jects reposing in museums' and private collections were purloined by troops from the Imperial resi- dence in the Chinese capital.

Civilized nations today . have : outlawed the plundering of civilian property and, for that mat- ter, public property which is not useful for bel- ligerent purposes. According to reports the Jap- anese have had no compunction about taking anything they liked however. Allegations not satisfactorily substantiated have attributed to the Germans the appropriation of art objects in France and sending them to" Germany. While they may not plunder in theory the Germans do in actual fact since they take what they like, and "pay" for it in money devoid of purchasing power.

It hardly seems necessary to remark that vio- lating the property of civilians-, friendly or enemy will have no part in America's present war op- erations. There are other ways of winning a war than shooting people and we have no intention of playing the role of marauders and brigands in other quarters of the globe thus stirring up hatreds which will be the germ 'of future wars.. Thus, for more reasons than one, all G. I. visit- ing firemen on foreign soil remember to keep hands off. >,.

The Military Maids lender Patriotic Service

Last week General Walter S. Fulton, com- manding officer of Fort Benning, presented ser- . vice pins to approximately 200 young Columbus women who are affiliated with^ the worth-while organization termed "The Military Maids." In the words of General' Fulton the awards were tmade in recognition of their "splendid coopera- tion in helping to entertain our vast number of enlisted men at Fort Benning."

The pins were only a token of the great debt the enlisted men of the post owe to these young ladies because their services are too great, their sacrifices too many, to be remunerated in any tangible way.

One might retort thatjhe Military Maids re- ceive their compensation through the good times they have attending the various functions ' de- manding their presence. But this business of being a Military Maid is not. just all dancing and good times. Many of these girls work until late afternoon. To make their social schedules they must buck the crowds packed in city buses to get home, get their dinner, primp themselves for the evening's activities, and then rush to the collecting station where buses await to take them to various destinations stretching from Harmony Church and Sand Hill to the Frying Pan area in Alabama. It matters not what the weather may be, they are on the spdf ready to render their services.

The qualifications for membership as a Mil- itary Maid are high and not : just any girl can be among the elect. She must be past her six- teenth birthday and must be passed upon by the membership committee. She must take the pledge to "live up to the highest standards of American womanhood and abide by all rules and regula- tions of the organization."

The Maids attended all" USO and Army social functions. Before they are eligible to receive a pin, they must have attended twelve dances equivalent to 48 hours of service; all the while looking "their prettiest."

The BAYONET believes that it speaks for every soldier of this command in extending this note of appreciation to Mrs. Hugh Roberts, Jr., official hostess for the Military Maids, to the chaperons who are also giving their time and ef- forts, and to the Military Maids themselves. The entire organization represents the link that con- nects the soldier with the life he left behind and the life he must live until victory enables him to return to all that the rank and file of American youth hold deer.

Local organiza- tions and church groups have com- pleted the summer program, and the use of many private homes has already been volunteered.

"Legs keep on tremblin'," said the^ darkey. "If yoy knew where you was goin', you'd trem- ble twice as much." He obviously had not heard the adage that the way to keep your knees from shaking is to get down on them.

Chaplain F. M. Thompson FOB THOSE IN PAIN

The why. of pain remains un-* answered. No explanation . ex- plains, no argument convinces that it serves any useful purpose or that it is necessary in the scheme of existence.

No doubt many fine things have come out of suffering just as beautiful flowers bloom In the midst of glacial mountains or on the black-,.' ened edge of a volcano, but the one is as much a phenom- enon as the other. As far as human understanding is con- cerned most suffering is vain, unprofitable, needless. That brave, serene soul, Robert L. Stevenson was a chronic invalid most of his short life. When he could no 'longer speak he com- municated his thoughts through his twitching fingers. In his Children's Garden of Verses," has a brave, pathetic poem. It is not for children, but for grown- ups—

"In winter I get up by night, And dress by yellow candlelight, In summer, quite the other way, I have to go to. bed by day. '

I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, And hear the grown-up pe feet

Passing by me in the street.

Oh, does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day."

But dying, he could sing—

"Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie, Glad, did I live, and gladly die."

The only worthwhile compensa- tion for pain and suffering is a calm, radiant, courageous spirit.

My thoughts have been turning to food these days— possibly he- cause, simple food, well, prepared and attractively served; is of even more importance now that many items are hard to get. I've been running oyer, in my mind, dishes I've had in the past, mostly at a fairly tender age. They're not so much dinners prepared by pro- fessional chefs, but home-cooked meals, that "hit the spot" at the time.

Take, for example, mother's strawberry shortcake. There was a dish for you. None of . this fancy "sponge cake con- coction topped with whipped cream. Our Idea of a short- cake, as youngsters, consisted of a big tin of piping-hot bis- cuit dough, spilt in the middle after baking and spread with butter. Strawberries oozed between the layers and cov- ered the top. The masterpiece was cut into wedge-shaped pieces, covered with cream, and eaten with a spoon. Two servings of* that— and we gen- erally asked for seconds— and you didn't have room for any- thing else.

Mother, as I recall, must have been what is known as a "good plain cook." Even at that, her cooking was a bit oh the uncertain side' and sometimes delegated to

OLD COLONEL T. P, FILLS RUSS POOL WITH 'SWAMP-WATER' ACCIDENTALLY

whatever "hired girl" we might ^T^M have with us at the time. But giv- en the time and the inclination, and mother could surprise us all with a dish fit for .royalty. Her stewed., chicken, cooked with home-made egg noodles or per- haps topped with dumplings, all surrounded with a luscious gravy, . was something to remember. And - her bread puddings, ordinarily thought of- as very common food, were considered by all of us as fit- ting fare to top off any dinner. Mother's French thrift sometimes led her to extreme*, however. I recall the day she inadvertently mixed dressing for potato salad in the same pan in which she had previ- ously poured perfume' to fa- cilitate its transfer to a small. - er bottle. One bite of the main item on our dinner and the family refused to experi- ment further. But mother, loaths to throw away good food, insisted to the last bite on her plate that she could taste nothing strange. Perhaps my taste buds have been blunted by too many season- ings and sauces to appreciate "good plain cooking". But I'd like to taste some of Mother's simple dishes and her home- canned fruits and jellies again just to see if they're as good as I remember them to be.

Through the medium of the "Ft. Benning Bayonet," would it be possible to have a small article published in such a manner to arouse interest with regard forming a Stamp Club in forthcoming ; issue? All enlisted personnel, both men and officers

be cordially invited to contact this writer in an effort to determine the amount of^ collectors so inter- ested, and the decision of a meet- ing place.

Tank' To Celebrate Birthday On June 25

Special Anniversary issue Will Observe 1st Year's Completion

YANK, the Army's official weekly, by and for enlisted men will celebrate its first birthday with a special anniversary issue dated June 25. 1943.

Opening with a cover cartoon of the favorite Doughboy charac- ter. "Sad Sack," the anniversary issue of YANK, The Army Week- ly will contain a Report to the Enlisted Man on a year's prog- ress of the Army, extra cartoon pages, a large cartoon map of the United States by Sgt. Ralph Stein, antra message from the Army's Commander-in-Chief — President Roosevelt.

The Roosevelt letter will recall the • President's message to YANK's soldier-readers published in Volume 1, No. 1, 52 weeks ago. Iir that message, Roosevelt re- viewed the principals for which we're fighting and added, "I in- tend to read YANK — every issue of it — from cover to cover."

The anniversary issue will 'con- tain eight additional pages over the usual 24: it will go on sale in Army exchanges and Navy Ships' Service stores on June 18. Only servicemen are permitted to buy copies.

Since YANK's inception last June, the publication has expand- ed its activities to include world- wide coverage and distribution. Its soldier-correspondents have gone up in B-17's over the South- west Pacific, they've submerged in pig boats in the Atlantic, they've ridden jeeps in Tunisia, they've looked at Germany through open bomb-doors, they've made charcoal sketches and snap- ped photos under the fire of Jap snipers, and they have tailed re- treating Nazis with advance pa- trols of the British 3th.

One YANK reporter, in his en- thusiasm for a scoop, found him- self 800 yards ahead of an armor- ed column that stormed Sened.

531 Armored Battalion Here

Is New Type Unit in U. S. Fighting Forces

A new type of organization ir the Army—a, separate armored in- fantry battalion — is being organ- ized in the First Studenl Training Regiment area with the creation of the 538th Armored Infantry Battalion, it was announced at Fort Benning Monday. ' , • The table or organization of the new outfit is virtually the same as that of a battalion in an ar- mored infantry regiment of ah armored division.

Captain Charles D. Young, for- merly of the 54th Armored Infan- try Regiment of the Tenth Ar- mored Division, is acting as bat- talion commander. A cadre of 34 officers and 103 enlisted men has arrived at Fort Benning from an- other station t© form the nucleus of the new organization.

The battalion has been attached to the 10th Armored Division for training:

Sgt. Pete Paris was one of the first soldiers to enter Macknassy, while artist Sgt. Howard Brodie had his sketch pad shot out of his hands by a Jap sniper in Guadal- canal.

In all 30 YANK correspondents have been under fire, four have been temporarily hospitalized, one killed in line of duty.

The result has been a weekly news magazine -with the punch of a flying fortress and the sparkle of a G. I. belt buckle. So much have ■ soldiers come to rely on YANK as their official voice that the editorial offices in New York receive an average of 1600 letters weekly in fan mail and technical iqueries alone. Requests include [everything from locating a long- lost brother to sending swing- music scores to an isolated Army band. And YANK has complied with hundreds of such requests. ARMY CROSS-SECTION

Contents of the Army Weekly are nothing more or less than a digest and cross section of Army life as it actually appears to sol- diers. When Army existence is serious or unpleasant, YANK makes no bones about it. But neither is it ashamed to boast a healthy interest in the opposite sex and a full appreciation of humor. Its cartoons and gags spare no one— from the highest "brass hats" to the saddest sack.

YANK's anniversary issue will mark a definite milestone in the annals of American publishing. It is a tribute from enlisted men to the very principals of freedom for which they are fighting.

A WINGED MESSENGER GETS "WINGS" as Col James Coutts, assistant commandant of the '.Parachute school at Fort Benning, awards paratrooper wings to "Thunder Bird," pigeon that has made 10 jumps from an airplane to become the first official paratroop pigeon.

Here Col. Coutts pins the of ficial paratroopers wings on "Thunder Bird" which is held in the newly developed carrying jacket that is strapped to a paratroopers' uniform. The bird is held by Pvt.

Bakers, Cooks School. Is Parent ' nit Of 4th S. C. Organizations

the bakers and cooks attending the school the best possible ways in which to provide food for fighting men whether at a post, in a camp or on the field of bat- tle.

The Cooks and Bakers School here provides a 60-day course for cooks, a 60-day course for bak- ers, and two-week and one-month courses for officers from Jhe Fourth Service Command. The of- ficers are given advanced courses in mess management and mess supervision, and provide compe- tent mess officers for the many military organizations stationed in the command.

The Fort Benning school is the parent school for a total of 14 in this service command. These in- clude a colored school also located here, and ones located at St. Pet- ersburg, Miami Beach and Camp Blanding, Fla.; Keesler Field and Camp Shelby, Miss.; Camp For- rest, Tenn.; Ft. Jackson, S. C, and Ft. Bragg, N. C. Also includ- ed are new schools opened within the last three months at the 3rd WAAC Training Center at Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga.; Maxwell Field and Camp Sibert, Ala.; and the 2nd WAAC Training Center at Daytona Beach, Fla. ROOKS IN COMMAND

Col. John M. Rooks is com- mandant of all Fourth Service Command schools and directs their work from his headquarters at the Fort Benning school. With a background of 34 years in the army, 24 of them in the Quarter- master Corps., Colonel Rooks has the responsibility of supervising and handling the installation of bakeries in all camps, stations and forts in the Fourth Service Com- mand. He visits each school once or twice a -month.

Lt. Col. Grover M. Ford is as- sistant to Colonel Rooks and is the executive officer of all schools for bakers and cooks in the com- mand. Prior to his call to active duty, he was a professor of bio- chemistry.

Working directly under Colonel Rooks as mess supervisor for the Fourth Service Command is Ma- jor Joseph N. demons, of Miami Beach, Fla.

Warrant Officer Daniel H. Siro- ty is personnel adjutant for the schools and handles the problems incident to the many soldiers who are sent to the 14 schools. Mr. Siroty, who was inducted into the army in August, 1§41, handled personnel matters for a large tex^ tile firm in New York City before his call to the army.

The immediate problem of in- struction in the Baking and the Cooking schools at Fort Benning rests to a large degree upon Mas- ter Sgt. Henry B. Whitehorn, Jr., of Memphis, Tenn., senior instruc- tor for both the schools.

Master Sergeant John W. Shaf- fer of Pittsburg, Pa., is chief bak- ing (instructor and also is in charge . of all courses of instruc-

field and garrison baking.

Tech." Sgt. Daniel R. Brooker of Tampa, Fla.; is assistant chief baker and supervises the practical phase of baking in the school. GO TO CHICAGO ■ Typical of the training and qualifications which instructors at the Fort Benning school are re- quired to have is the fact that Master Sgt. Whitehorn, Staff Sgt. Clifford L. Edgar of Union, Miss., who is in charge of the experi- mental group at the Baking school and assists in instruction, and baking school instructors in- cluding Tech. 3rd gd. Sidney Ja- cobs of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Sgt. Techs. Burl W. Beaverson of To- ledo, Ohio, and Frank H. Lam- bros, were all sent to the Ameri- can Institute of Baking in Chi- cago and completed the army ad- vanced course of baking.

At the Institute, the instructors were taught not only all the prin- ciples of baking and field mainte- nance but also were carefully taught the best possible methods of instilling knowledge into the minds of those men who attend the schools. They were taught to present their subjects in the sim- plest manner, to assume the stu- dent knows nothing about baking when he begins the course, to use charts, pictures, models, black- boards and all kinds of teaching aids.

Cardboard charts and illustra- tions present one of the most im- portant steps, in teaching the courses. Three sergeant techni- cians, Charles E. Parker of New York City, Ben D. Winer of Nor- folk, Va., and Charles F. Walters of Chicago, devote their entire time to preparing these charts and pictures in their chart and sign studio. All of them were commercial artists or professional sign painters in civilian life and have attended the Sign Painters School at Camp Lee, Va.

The studio prepares all the charts used for classes in the schools in cooperation with the instructors. The artists and the instructors correlate their experi- ence in teaching and artistic pre- sentation and. work out the. best methods of making up the charts and illustrations so that students will be most beenfitted.

Believing that the learning per- iod is considerably shortened and that subjects are more ' explicit and clearly presented when illus- trated with drawings and- letter- ing on charts, the school has these learning aids covering the walls of classrooms and available on every subject which is touched/ All of the processes of baking are outlined in one- series of charjs;

1ST LIEUT. WEILL

Second Lieutenant Raphael Weill, supply officer of the 183rd Ordnance HM Battalion (Q) has been promoted to first lieutenant it was announced by Colonel George E. Jacobs, commanding officer of ther Second Army Troops. Lieutenant Weill received his B.S. degree from the New York University in 1938 and be- fore entering the service was em- ployed as credit manager by the James Talcott Company of New York City. He is a native of Weehawkin, New Jersey.

acidity tests to analyze amount of acid or alcohol in, the finished bread product and an op- portunity to see the effects , of unbalanced formulae on the final outcome of bread, are the uses to which the projected new labora- tory could be put.

It is felt a laboratory of this sort would give the students a more thorough knowledge of the chemistry in baking and teach them more fully how they could be able to remedy any fault that might occur in the finished prod- uct. .

Theoretical instruction in- the art of cooking is provided by Staff Sgt Hoke S. Sewell of Co- lumbus, Ga., Staff Sgt. Jerry M. G. Allen of Nashville, Tenn., and Sgt. Tech. Charles R; Sparks of Louisville, Ky.

Utilizing the most modern and practicable teaching methods known, the Fort Benning Bakers and Cooks School is scientific in its approach to instructing, and depends upon science- for its knowledge of nutrition, formulae, vitamins and the many other fac- tors important to their field.

But despite this application of scientific knowledge and princi- ples, instructors strive to imprint indelibly upon the minds of stu- dents and visitors alike that cookr ing and baking should not be classified as a mundane science.

,. "Cooking and Baking," they in- sist with pride, "is an ART!"

Secohdirmy Unit Growing

Two new organizations have been assigned to the Second Army Special Troops, it was announced by Colonel George E. Jacobs com- mander of all Second Army Troops this station. They are the 840th Ordnance Depot Company commanded by 1st Lt. Carl S. Brown and the 523rd Ordnance HM Company, commanded by 1st Lt. Charles A. Richmann. These two new units are located in the old R.O.T.C. area and both tne officers and cadre are making preparations for filler replace- ments.

Models of baking ovens, field ranges, and other equipment as well as sections of equipment are placed in the classroom and are constantly used for demonstration purposes during lectures on th< use of baking equipment. Learn- ing the nomenclature of thi equipment is made much easier and understanding of the func- tion of each part is made clearer to the student by the use of such models.

Blackboards are utilized to in- struct the student with outlines, rormulae for baking and < thousand and one other things which present themselves during the classes.

Plans also are being made to open a new laboratory . for the bakers school so that laboratory tests can be made.

Brigade Win Can Throw Race in 3-Way Tie For Loop Honors

With 10 games on tap this week, almost every team in the Infantry School League will make two appearances. The 176th Spirits plav only once, facing the 124th at Gowdy Field on Sunday, while the Gators and the 244th play three games each,

Tomorrow night the Academic Regiment Profs will try to add an- ther one to their long victory string, taking on the Tanks at Gowdy Field. Meanwnile the Ga- tors and Rifles will be battling it out at Harmony Church. - Most prominent game of the week is that between the unde- feated Profs and the powerful Stu- dent Training Brigade at Gowdy Field on Sunday.

The league fight seems to have settled down to a battle among the Profs, the Brigade and the 300th. Sunday's game will either practi- cally eliminate the Brigadiers ' from the first-half race or so tighten up the loop that a victory Elso by the 300th 'over the Profs can throw the lead into a three- way tie.

On offense the- Profs have a de- cided edge over the Brigadiers, baiting .300 as compared to the Brigade's team, average of .240. Only one Brigadier is batting over .300. the bulk of the Brigade's power apparently being centered in Red McCluskey who is batting sn even .500. McCluskey's output includes six doubles and two hom- ers. The Profs have seven men hitting over .300. led by Plunk with .428, Fenno with .413, Moore with .366 and Niebler with .347. PROFS AVERAGE GOOD

The Profs have averages better than 12 runs per game while the Brigadiers have averaged- six. In Extra bases, the Profs also have the advantage, boasting 15 doubles, four triples and four homers. The Brigade has 11 doubles, no triples • uid three homers. .

The hustle shown by the Profs <f evidenced in their base-stealing record of 22 steals in seven games. The Brigadiers have swiped lour bases in six games. Benny Zien- tara is far ahead in the league with seven robberies to, his credit.

In fielding both teams are about even while the hurling Is also about - on a par. In Prendergast and DeVolder the Brigadiers can boast two brilliant pitchers; but the Profs can counter with Dick- inson and Rundus.

Tiger Play-Off Is S

Tiger Service Co. Wallops Hq. Company

Winners Collect 7 Runs In 7th Frame To Win 8-5

By CPL. CARROLL M. BINES

Outhit 12 to 4, Service company 10th A. D., collected seven runs on only two safeties in a big sev- enth and final frame to defeat its traditional rival, Hq. & Hq. com- pany, 10th A. D., 8-5, in a "grudge" battle at Gowdy field, last Thurs- day afternoon.

The scrap between these two friendly enemies was all Head- quarters company until the final canto. The losers landed hard on Service company's starting hurler, Cpl. Milton "Bib" Falkl at the outset and collected seven hits and four runs off the big righthander before driving him from iU' mound in . the third stanza.

Speedballer Walter Brown came in to put out the fire and pitch steady five-hit, one-run ball the rest of the way, but with Ber- glund pitching two-hit ball, Head- quarters appeared all set. LUCKY SEVENTH ]

But came the seventh, and it certainly was the "lucky seventh" for the Servicemen. Berlung hit leadoff man Chernak with one of his slants to start all the trouble. Then followed a base on balls, a fielder's choice, an error, and B. Brown's single for four runs that sidetracked Berglund.

Killian came in from the out- field to take over the mound chore, but fared no better. Lt Scholl's single, an "Annie Aakley" and an- other fielder's choice meant three more runs and brought in Gray, who managed io retire the side without further scoring.

Lt. Scholl and B. Brown garner- ed all the winners' bingles but Cpl. John Valley of Headquarters company was the hitting star of the day, with . a double and two singles to show for his four trips to the plate. •

WH ARMORED CENTERFIELDER IS BAT CHAMP

Lt. Hearn Hits .563 <§ In 32 Official Trips To Plate To Take Lead

BY CPL. CARROLL ,-M. RINES Lt.. Ora Hearn, 11th Armored regiment center fielder, wears the crown of 10th Armored division batting king, official averages re- leased today by Tiger division baseball statisticians reveal. The big righthanded batting Tanker gardener banged out 18 hits m 32 official trips to the platter to win the Sand Hill league champion- ship with a .563 mark, nearly 100 points higher than any other wil- low wielder in the division.

Top honors in the Cusseta league are shared by Pfc Claude Shoemake of the 774th T. D. bat- talion, rated by many the divis- ion's No. 1 pitcher, and T-5 Regi- nald Schell, Supply battalion third sacker. Both the Teedees big left band batting chucker and the QM outfit's stocky hot corner guardian slapped out 19 safeties in 40 tries for identical .475

marks- . '

Sgt. Mike Medaglia, the 455th Coast Artillery (anti-aircraft) battalion nine's classy handy man, misses a share of this circuit's ti- tle by just one point. Medaglia collected 18 bingles in 38 attempts for his .474 record, his timely hits helping the Cusseta champs to nine straight loop wins.

Second,- third and fourth honors .j. the Sand Hill loop all go to members of the undefeated 3rd Armored regiment combine. T-4 John Snyder, first baseman, is runner-up with a .455 average; T-4 "Hal Garbrick, shortstop, third with .370, while Second Baseman Yarbur shares fourth with Third Baseman Maddox of the 1st bat- talion. 54th .Armored Infantry regiment, both having .364 marks.

Only 10 hitters hit over ,300 in the Sand Hill league but no less than 30 stickers edged their way into the select circle in the Cus- seta loop, .the championship 455th club having seven sluggers over this figure. The undefeated 3rd Armored Dragons placed four men in the Sand Hill circuit's.-top ten.

Top team honors in the Sand Hill league go to the 3rd AR, only team hitting over .300 for the sea- son. The Dragons posted a col- lective mark of .305, with 75 hits in 246 official times at bat. The runner-up 1st battalion, 54th AIR

Hoop High-Scorer, Post Conference, Goes To Finney

Sgt. . Francis "Ace" Webster, formerly captain of the Medical Detachment basketball team, and one of the most prominent athletic figures the Detachment ever had, has been transferred to the Fin- ney General Hospital at Thomas- yille, Ga.

Sgt. Webster was the leading scorer in the Post Basketball Con- ference of the past season, having chalked up 186 points in 14 games. He was considered by his associ- ates as one of the best basketball players in Ft. Benning last sea- son. He took his sports seriously, and played a hard, but always clean game.

Medicos Enjoy Monthly Smoker

Three fast boxing bouts enter' tained the personnel of Medical Detachment, Station Hospital, Ma- jor Joyner commanding, Friday night when men of the detach- ment- held their monthly smoker. Two colored boys furnished the excitement for the initial bout, and were followed by two fast matches between white boys of the unit. Also on the athletic card was a three-fall wrestling match between two heavies from 4t" main mess hall.

Music and singing were much in evidence in a variety program, and the feature musical treat came when Private Gist, of the colored barracks, brought out some hot numbers on that decimated musi- cal-saw instrument known as a flexatone.

Addresses of a morale building nature were made by Major James Loveless, Chaplain McCarty, and the commanding officer. Lt. Web- ster was in charge of the athletic and entertainment program.

'Dream' Games Feature Opening Tilts Saturday

Dragons Meet 420th F. A.; 455th Ties Up With 774th

Jupiter Pluvius and the luck' of the draw teamed up to create "dream games" in the opening rounds of both the 10 h Armored division'* Sand and Cusseta league playoffs, slated fpr. this Saturday and Sunday at Sand Hill. . These playoffs are both Shaugh- nessy iystem single elimination affairs, in which the first and third teams in regular league, play wUl collide on Saturday with the sec- ond and fourth place teams battl- g on the same day. A week of rain right at the end U1 the Regular season, brought about several cancellations in the Sand .Hill circuit, and, although this did not cause any. team, to miss out on a playoff berth, it did mane a definite alignment of the quar- tet of nines in the series.

The defending divisional cham- pionship 3rd Armored Regiment Dragons, winners of eight straight loop starts, hold the No. 1 spot, of course. The IstBn., 54th Armored Infantry Regiment, with six. wins and two losses, gets second; the 420th Armored FiekLArtillery Bn., with five wins and two defeats, third; and the 11th Armored. Regi- ment, with five wins and; three losses, fourth. ' ' , „

This means that the 3rd Arm- ored and 420th combines, rated by most followers of Tiger division baseball as the fastest teams in the senior circuit, will play each other in the first round, Saturday at. 2 p m. on diamond No. 8-1, Tiger Field. The 1st Bn., 54th AIR, dark horse of the playoffs, will battle the in-and-out 11th AR aggrega- tion at the same time on diamond

Under the direction of Lt Gneiss, 24th Company, -the bat-, talion athletic officer, a six weeks', program of softball games has been started. The cadre of the six companies in the 4th Bat- talion are all interested in soft- ball, and seem to be intent or making sure that their team and company comes out on, top at the end of the series.

This second series of'games di.fr ; fers quite a "bit from the first. Primarily the first series was for the purpose of obtaining exer- cises, and it was required that every man in each company play at least two innings if he did not See 1ST STR, Page 7

Post Soldiers Reed War, Sociology and Economies

The literary speed of the G. I. is not colored comics and horse sag- es, believe it or not. That's on the testimony of Miss. Frances Chandler who, in her capacity as librarian at Fort Benning's Main post, should certainly know.

In civilian life, a high school librarian, Miss Chandler says that soldiers at Fort Benning show better choice and eagerness in their literary likes and dislikes than her former students.

While there is considerable call for those works of current fiction which are considered by critics and the general public as the most distinguished among recent books, the most sought for are volumes dealing with the present VT£r social and economic condi- tions. Which proves, she believes, that" the .modern soldier is a pret- ty serious fellow. POPULAR TITLES

Cecil Brov,rn's. "Suez to Singa- pore."* "Guadalcanal Diary" by Richard Tregaskis and Ira Wol- fert's "Battle For The Solomons" ere some of the most popular ti- <Tes "while works on Russia, such ES "' Margaret Bourke- White's "Shooting the Russian War" are also in considerable demand.

Mildly surprising, perhaps, is that call for good verse and Shel- w, St. Vincent MiUay, the Brownings and other poets enjoy the favor of the modern warrior. However, escapist or purely enter- taining literature takes a secon- dary place in favor of non-fiction. Then, too, books on military and technical topics are much in de- mand, showing that the soldier is ouite' caoable of seeking know-, ledge of his own volition and without compulsion.

Magazines in most frequent use are "Time/' "Newsweek," "Life," and "Fortune." a trend consistent with the books most widely cir- culated. This is out of a total of SO magazines and 12 newspapers subscribed to by the library.

Chaplain Heifer Shows G. I. Twist

Chaplain Frederick W. Heifer of the First Student Training Regiment is s man well known among the soldiery for his inspir- ing sermons and short talks. Fre- quently it will be noted, by an eager listener, that within the short space of four or five sen- tences, the Chaplain has coined at least one monumental expression. Each in its own way, smacking of G. I. appeal.

In a recent sermon, sentence packed with inspiration, Chaplain Heifer let drop one particularly appealing suggestion. In a few words the Chaplain bared a work- able plan against life's more com- plex struggles. A plan so simple, so plain, so G. I. that it works. To quote: "I have often thought for instance that about all a good- ly number of men need to become rather decent fellows is to change their habits on Saturday nights, stay away from the old hang-out and the old gang. It is a great thing for a man to put up his own off-limits sign around the indecencies of life."

300th Infantry's Band Starts Work

The 300th Infantry band : gradually taking shape. Under the capable leadership of 1st Lt. Ben- jamin F. Zvolanek of Regt. Hq., the band is forming into a working group. On Friday, May 7, the band had its second practice and de- 'oted most of the time to rehear- sing the National Anthem. To the men of the 300th, who had been quartered with the 29th during the first few months of the 300th's existence, this particular rendition of the National Anthem brought back memories of the 29th Quar- tel and the 29th Band parading smartly at Retreat. All agreed that successful rehearsal gave promise of a bright future for the 300th Band.

At the present time Lt. Zvola- nek and 1st Lt. Thomas E. Cas- sidy, Special Service officer of the SOuth are busy acquiring more instruments and sheet music to finally bring the band to its con- templated strength.

Harry Stuhldreher was a quar- terback of the famed Four Horse- men. Other members of that back- field were Elmer Layden, Jim Crowley and Don Miller.

O. C deShEshmareff Served In- French Foreign Legion

Officers** - 'e^TS

^-jL^lr COSTS .

Officer candidates here at The Infantry School have come from nearly every type of civilian oc- ' cupation' and from military serv- ice on many fronts, and now to make the story complete, there ; on the scene a former member of the French Foreign Legion.

The saga of Kyrill Feodorovich deShishmareff reads like the script for a motion picture' thriller. In fact, among other things, de- Shishmareff used to be a script riter himself.

In the French Foreign Legion, deShishmareff rose through the ranks to become an officer, and now in the Second Student Train- ing Regiment in the 17th Com- pany, he is going through the rig- orous three months' course that is necessary for enlisted men who wish to .become officers in the U. S. Army.

INTERNATIONAL Candidate deShishmareff has an international military background, if ever there was one. He was born in St. Petersburg (now Len- ingrad) Russia, the son of a col- onel • in the Russian Imperial Guard. His mother was an Ameri-

..as tutored to enter the Im- perial Lyceum to be trained for the Russian army and the diplo- matic service. Then came the rev- olution, and his mother took him to the United States. He still wanted to be a soldier, so he went to military school.

His education was later con- tinued in trips to France and Eng- land, where he attended Christ I Church College, Oxford, and the University of London. Today, as a result, deShishmareff speaks Russian, French and English with almost equal ease, and has a smat- tering of' several other languages. His accent can be described as j having a broad "A" with a Rus- jsian twist.

JOINS LEGION Tired of just going to school, deShishmareff in 1929 volunteered for service in the French Foreign Legion. He stayed, in ' for five years, which is a lot of time in that outfit, and rose from the grade of private to be commis- sioned a lieutenant. He took pai't in three campaigns and was cited for conspicuous bravery in action.

In 1935 he was brought from Paris to Hollywood by MGM stu- dios as a writer, and technical di- rector for a film production with Foreign Legion background.

He remained in Hollywood until he entered the Army last year, and during that time worked for several of the major studios and as a free-lance writer. He knew most of the film stars.

12-Year Olds Want InWAACs, Letter States

Signs of the times. No longer are hero-worship- pers confined to young boys, for today -came proof that the WAACs have theirs.

Captain Evelyn -Rothrock commanding officer of the 43rd Headquarters company at Fort Benning, Ga., received a letter from Dorothy Ccrews and Helen Bray with the re- turn address of 1809 Third avenue, Columbus. The letter speaks for itself:

"We are only 12 years old and want so much to train and be a WAACS. I know we are too little but please try and get us in.

"P. S. If you don't get us in we thank you for trying."

Gene Tunney was in the other corner when the fans paid $2,- 650,000 to see Dempsey's" last fight at Chicago, in 1927. Floored by Dempsey, Tunney won with the aid of Referee Dave Barry's fa- 'mous "long count" of 1(.

In the mechanical battalion of the First Student Training Regi- ment a profitable, morale build- ing and practicable idea has sprung forth. -Colonel Ellis Moore, commanding officer of the 4th Battalion, developed and further- ed the idea of installing and equip- ng a wood-work shop worthy of the attention of his many stu- dents attending the Motor Me- chanics and Radio Operators courses here at the Infantry School^

The equipment, which .includes a lathe, band 'saw, circular saw, power drills, planing mill, bench grinders, hand tools are of sturdy and professional-like structure. During the procurement arrange- ment of all equipment, Battalion officers have kept in mind that they are seeking to set up a shop for men with a "natural" bent for mechanics. There is no ama- teurishness in any aspect of enter- prise. It's professional from_ the ■ery word "go."

This morale building enterprise has been undertaken with the idea that the men would find pleasure in working with good tools while the battalion itself would profit 'n the form of lawn furniture, helves, bookcases, etc.,. and in- numerable unpurchaseable ar- ticles. '

Unit Conducts . Retreat Parade

Before Col. R. H. Lord, regi- mental commander, and Lt. Col. Burnell V. Bryant, battalion com- mander, the officer candidates of the Second Battalion, Third Stu- dent Regiment, conducted their own retreat parade and review Friday night.

Colonel Lord and Lieutenant- Colonel Bryant were the only offi- cers on the field for the cere- mony, the conduct of which was left entirely to the -candidates. Candidate company commanders assembled their companies and marched them, to the battalion drill field and ordered them into formations with a dispatch that excited admiration from veteran officers who witnessed the dem- onstration .from beyond the field.

As battalion commander, Can- didate Edwin W. Emmerson of Potomac, 111., issued the com- mands of the always impressive military ritual and they were con- veyed to the company command- ers by Candidate Long H„ Gof- figon of Cape Charles, Va., stu- dent battalion adjutant. Both men are from the Seventh Company.

Student company commanders for the review were: Seventh Company, Charles W. Anderson; Eighth Company, Lloyd A. Gilles- pie; Ninth Company,. Andrew J. Boechler; 10th Company, John C. Pochinchuk; 11th Company, Stephen B. Sitar; 1 2th Company, Robert M. Boyer. Music for the parade was played by the 124th Infantry Band.

Such student-conducted demon- strations are rare in OCS units, where the plea usually is made there is too little time for other than the routine, concentrated training. No class in the Sec Battalion has been functioning more than five weeks.

Christmas Gift From Boston Via Africa Arrives

A gaily wrapped Christmas package containing cigarets and sweets and postmarked November, 1942, turned up in the mail call of the 24th Com- pany, Third Student Training, Regiment at Fort Benning, last week.

• Its recipient, dumbfounded at first, learned the reason for the delay after a close inspec- tion. At the time the pack- age was mailed, he was serv- ing as a first sergeant in Af- , rica and. the Yuletide gift had traveled from Boston to Af- rica and, failing to catch up with him there, pursued him to OCS in Fort Benning.

Bomber Crew's Adventures In June 11 'Yank'

"Sixty-six Days Missing In Ac- tion,".is the title of an exclusive feature .appearing in the June 11 issue of YANK, the army weekly. Cabled from Guadalcanal by YANK staff correspondent^ Sgt. Mack Morris, this unusual fea- ture describes the experiences of a U. S. bomber crew lost some- time ago in Jap controlled Pacific waters.

These men made their way to an uninhabited island where they found a Navy man who had been stranded there six months .before.

Recently a number of Navy photographs came through from the Pacific theater showing mem- bers of the lost bpmber crew. Pix were minus captions or text. Sgt Morris' article is the first authen- tic account of what happened to the missing men.

Another special feature of the June 11th issue will be an in- formative article titled "Gas Warfare" by YANK's Sgt. Bill Davidson. In this article Sgt. Da- vidson gives a comprehensive re- view of the dangers of chemical warfare as a potential weapon, and stresses the serious possibil- ity of its use in the hear future.

YANK's Alaskan correspond- ent reports on the Kiska aerial offensive in a timely write-up of the activities in this recently ex- ploding theater of operations.

Pin-up for the week is Nan Wynn whose activities on the, screen up until recently have con- sisted of supplying Voice of Rita Hayworth. One glance at Nan's face and figure will explain why she has been chosen for more visual performances. Her next movie will be Columbia's "Right Guy."

The Ninth Company in the Sec- ond Student Training regiment has two candidates from the same town who grew up together, were inducted -together, attended the same camp for their basic train- ing, and are now working for their commissions at The Infantry School.

The candidates are John B. Kil- mer and Kenneth Douglas of Janesville, Wisconsin. They were the first selectees taken from Janesville who were married and had families.

Candidates Kilmer and Douglas attended the Janesville high school and played on the football team together.

• Kilmer married his high school sweetheart and they are the proud parents of a feby girl, Julie Ann.

A long train ride deposited; them in Camp Wolters, Tex., at the In- fantry Replacement Training Cen- ter. There, in the 56th Battalion i they received their basic training in a heavy weapons company.

During their period of training both candidates attended the bat- talion school in preparation for O. C. S. Upon completion of their studies there, : they then went to the camp school for more ad- vanced training. Both are in the same platoon here.

Never once have Kilmer and Douglas been separated since their induction. This is something that doesn't happen very often in the Army. *

Besides that. Captain Joseph F.

Opposite Western Union Office

Eyery organization on the post is supposed to send in a card for every active member of that or- ganization. These cards are placed in a "live" file. Clerks consult this file for names of soldiers when mail is received. If the name cannot be found, the letter is placed in a rack, and next day. in another, and so on for 10 days)

Each day a clerk attempts to locate the soldier and generally by the end of 10 days, i* " ac- complished. If, however. ^ mains undelivered, it is placed in a -dead" rack, and then the hard work actually begins. ■ Files are ganization to determine whether the soldier is there.

Then, if the man is found, the organization is asked to send in I a card on the man. If the man is not located, the half million or more cards in the "'dead file" are ! combed thoroughly. Chances are ; that the man has left the post and ! if his name then is located, the | letter is sent to his forwarding address.

If all of that fails, chances are that he never was on the post. WAAC's HELP -

Ten men and 32 WAACS han- dle this work. Also at work-in the office are 44 other men who are (members of four Army Postal Units training, for service over- seas. These are the 563d, 564th, ! 555th and the 556th, consisting of ill men and one officer each. Af- jter they have learned the intri- icacies of handling mail for army ! organizations, they will be sent ! out with permanent organiza- ' tions.

The office also holds mail for .men who are to be assigned to the post — sometimes Officer Can- didates come in to find several pounds of mail awaiting them. Whenever any unit anywhere in this country or abroad assigns >. a man or an organization to Fort Benning. the APO is notified and ! the mail -is redirected to Fort

Post, it now serves .24 hours a day as an Information Bureau. Army personnel seeking some in- dividual may call the office and find out where that individual may be located on a few minutes notice.

Offices and files of the APO intained in the Old Thea- ter building, near the present gymnasium. Besides the men and WAACS at work there, four men are kept at the United States Post Office on the post, redirect- ing mail that comes in for units that have recently left the post.

Assisting Capt. Twohig are two other officers of long postal ex- perience. Lt. Willard Mather, West Palm Beach, Fla., served for 16 years there before he was called to service while Lt. Mel- G. Hartman, Martinsburg, ra, also served for 16 years, part of that time as postmaster. Sgt. Rov Levey served for 23 years at Union City, N. J., for instance. BIG TURNOVER

Turnover of men at the-.post is greater than a city of 300,000 Capt. Twohig pointed out. In the Parachute School, for instance, men move from company to com- pany every few days in their pro- gress through the school. Others are shifted from one organization to another. Others are sent to the hospital, and may then be shifted to another organization or. sent off the post. Others leave the post for some reason. Officer "Candidates are here for 90 days. Bakers and Cooks School students are here for 60 days. Students in the various Training Regiment groups are on the post for vary' ing length of times. In every in- stance, the man's card must fol- low' his army shillings and when he eventually leaves, the card is maintained for a year in the live file before being shifted to the dead file.

Another job of the APO is that' of notifying newspapers, maga- zine?, and other publications, of changes in addres of men. Sever- al clerks are kept busy doing nothing else.

The APO also supplies cards to members of organizations that are due to be' sent away. These are to be filled out and sent to their correspondents. In cases where the unit is to go overseas, the APO fills out the Army Post Office address to which mail is to be addressed, holds the cards for a time, and then sends them on to the friends or relatives so that they may have the mailing address of the men.

Right now the APO officers and clerks are building up home ad- dresses of the men, in addition to their present Army addresses. They're looking forward to the time when men will be sent home — and their mail will have to follow them'.

W. D. Clarifies W. 0. Insignia

Army warrant officers hereafter xC,>. will wear the insignia of the^.Josep^Biem and service to which they are at- tached, advices reaching Fort Ben- ning disclosed. ~-

Warrant officers not members of and not on duty with an arm service will wear the coat of ns of the United States, it was revealed. According to change 18 to Army Regulation 600-35. dated April 29, the following insignia are prescribed for warrant of- ficers.

On the service cap. the present warrant officer insignia, consisting of an eagle with spread wings standing on a bundle of two ar- rows—the whole enclosed in a wreath, will be worn.
