United States, during World War ;n. The whole affair, ostensibly to sell war bonds, was really a bit of political build-up for Congressman Smith. (In respect to the i late congressman, I won’t use his real name, nor that of the general, nor his aide, who is himself now a top military figure in Wash- ! ington.) | From the three star general down to me, a lowly SPAR yeoj man 2/c, we were supposed to go among the populace and cast a certain military glamor around the balding, rumpled figure of the far from popular congressman. | All this naturally, at government expense. General Jones and his aide, Lt. Col. Brown were there because the congressman was head of a committee vitally important to the armed forces. When he made a request, the army jumped. Four of us servicewomen, a Wac, Wave, Marine and, Spar were there because we girls in recruiting went anywhere we were invited, where there was a chance to appear before the public and get our pictures taken for the newspapers. Publicity was our business, and flash-bulb spots before the eyes an occupational hazard. I was once accused of having my picture in the paper “more than Mrs. Roosevelt.” ,

PARADE OF CADILLACS We four girls were given a long black Cadillac for the weekend, complete with government chauffeur, named Charley. The Congressman had his own long black Cadillac, with government chauffeur, and the General ano his aide shared a long khacki car with uniformed driver. Our little parade of Cadillacs went merrily tooling up and down the hills, at a time when the civilians were made to feel they were saboteurs if they wasted a gallon of gas. The main event was the dedication of an historic spot connected with George Washington’s early years. We all made short speeches and then Congressman Smith got up and made his stirring bond appeal, based on the dying words of Nathan Hale, “I regret I have but one life to give for my country”. In every version of Nathan Hale’s death, any of us had ever heard of, he was hung by the British during the Revolution, but according to the Congressman, he died comfortably in bed, with his. physician bending over him to hear his dying words Why he used this version, which was certainly not as forceful as the picture of the young lad making his brave statement to the enemy at the foot of the gallows, we couldn’t figure out, and none of us dared ask him. He had a kind of sloppy grandeur and regal aloofness that discouraged questions. However, hearing this same speech over and over again in each town where we stopped for a bond drive, began to strike us as funny, the way small things do when you’re in front of the public and we four girls had a terrible time, sitting on the platform in plain sight of the audience, to keep from laughing. SEES CROWD. MIRAGE

Smith also seemed to be victim of a mirage. He apparently saw cheering waving crowds everywhere we went, and when we rode in parade in open, cars, which we did in nearly every town, he would lean far out, waving his hat wildly, calling out greetings to this one and that one, while the stolid ranks of mine workers and farmers stared back at him, not mov- ! ing a muscle. | He was one of those politicians ’ who keeps winning elections though everyone claims to despise him. Sunday afternoon, after two | big days, of parades, speeches ! and banquets, we had a free af- ! ternoon and looked forward to lying down and resting our feet until the evening banquet. | However the Congressman had ; different ideas. Into our big cars we all piled and drove 70 i miles to his home to be photographed in his victory garden, i He had his own newsreel Cam-

eraman, • who went everywhere with him, and apparently he though the newsreels would grd& at the chance to run some shots of a group of servicewomen standing around looking at tomatoes under the broiling sun. { That night, we all spoke at a bond rally in a charming small town set in the mountains, and were all invited to the mayor’s house for refreshments. A mousy little man, who had painted the bond therometer at the rally as. people bought bonds, 1 enjoyed his refreshments, then arose and bid everyone a polite goodiby, and left. ' MAYOR ENTERTAINS ALL | It turned out he was the town 1 black sheep, released from jail for a few hours because he was the only sign painter in town. It seemed to me then that a small town must be a nice place to live, where any citizen who performed a civic service, could be entertained by the mayor, on. his way back to jail. \

The General, one of the most gentlemanly and fine looking officers ’ I have ever met, put up with the Congressman’s eccentricities with complete dignity. He put with the four of us, too, good naturedly, calling us the “Young Lieutenants” and holding doors and chairs for us, in a most unmilitary manner.

j The one time his face betrayed some feeling, was when We all made a detour to visit the John D. Smith airport, promoted and built by the congressman and named after him. Someone informed us, on the side, that the John D Smith airport was the biggest white elephant in the east. It had been built on a mountain plateau at a place where the currents of air, or drafts, or whatever they are called, were all wrong for flying, and probably not more than five or six planes had landed there since it wgs constructed. • | That didn't lessen the Congressman’s pride in what he thought of as “his” airport. It was being used as a training base for a small detachment of ground crew and he wanted us to make an official inspection of the barracks and training rooms. GENERAL A 'SURPRISE A usual, the Congressman went first, and then we four girls trailed after, with the General insisting on bringing up the rear. I was just in back of the Congressman as he walked thru the door of the barracks room and gazed at the rows of men standing stiffly at attention beside their bunks. He waved a hand at the sergeant, who had called the men to attention, and said grandly, “At ease!” The sergeant relayed the order and the men relaxed .some sitting down on their bunks and for conversation. All of ? 'aiiidden, to the utter

consternation of the poor sergeant, in walked a three star General and Lt. Colonel. He nervously croaked again but the Congressman, completely unaware that the honor was for anyone but him, snorted irritably, ‘‘l said, at ease!” men just stood there gaping, and not knowing what to do, til the General gave them a

casual wave and went back out the door, smiling a little. Climax of the whole thing, was when we discovered that although we were his guests, the’ congressmen hadn’t paid our hotel bills anywhere, nor his own. He just presumed it Was an honor for any hotel in his district to ac*commodate huh. Anyway, we won the war.
