WON CIVIL WAR
Ed or Says South still Is| \linning; Opportunities For Negroes Asked.
“Iie north thinks it won. the|.: civil war. Nothing is further from| the ruth. The south won all the| way: -and is still winning.” TI it is the summary of Miss Lilisnt £. Smith, noted Georgia womi itor of ‘the magazine “South Tod: 7," who left Indianapolis -today ifter several appearances here in 1 nich she urged .more opportuni es for the Negro. Ti } 44-year-old editor and author deck ‘ed that the south’s sharecropper | 7stem had been fastened onto, indv iry—in the mine and steel 8yst¢ 1s particularly—and: that it is rapi¢ y seeping through the north’s entit | economic pattern.

LINLITHGOW AGREES TO KEEP INDIA POST
LONDON, Dec. 8 (U. P.).—Lord Linlithgow has consented to remain in office as viceroy and governorgeneral of India: for an additional six months, the prime minister's office announced today. It was believed that Linlithgow’ decision followed ‘a strong personal appeal from Prime Minister Win|ston Churchill, The announcement said the government “placed on record its high confidence” in Linlithgow, who had been scheduled to retire next April. He became viceroy in 1936.
out at Stout. It happened this way: A private, who had been A. W. O. L.,, | told Capt. Clifford M. Cryer, com-| manding officer of the air base squadron, that he had started back in plenty of time. “But you know, sir, on the way a bunch of those Gremlins caught yp with me and tied me down and I like to never got away.” Now the captain is an understanding soul.
Teach ’Em a Lesson
“Yes, I know, we've got to do something about them,” he said gremly. (Gremly is like grimly only more so.) “I really, think we should lock {them up. Suppose you take them over to the guardhouse and stay with them awhile. That should { e teach them a lesson.” ; Now when Gremlins and their kind are good, they are very, very good, but when they are bad, they're horrid.
Take last Wednesday for instance. The whole town was shivering in the blizzard. Out at Stout field, the men turned on radiator after radiator and they just grew colder and colder. No one could discover | what was the matter. Capt. A, Y.! Lucal, the base budget and fiscal] officer, knew well that the fuel had | been paid for. He smelled a Grem-| lin.
Sure enouga, right under the radiator in his office was a whole squad of GQCremlins marching up and down, and up and down, in red flannel underwear. The little guys were mumbling something in .their beards about “Left out in the cald, left out in the cold.” (In Gremblinese, of course.)
Capatain Laugh? Oh, No.
So, Capt. Lucal, who knows a little Gremlinese, coaxed one up on; his desk to talk things over. It turned out that this was a Gremlin grike (strike) because the little people weren’t given reserved seats at the Bob Hope show last week. Now, you can laugh but Capt. Lucal didn't dare. For he knew that above everything else Gremlins don't stand being laughed at. If offended, they just begin teasing furiouser. (Furiouser is a Gremlin expression eshing a little bit fast- | er than furiously. { Pvt. Joe Kane can testify to that. One day he saw a Gremlin all dressed up in its little black suction, boots, red shirt, green shorts and| wearing a green derby perched over one horn. He laughed. And right then and there the Gremlin jerked off his derby and flung it on the floor and said: “Hex,” which translated means “I got it in for you.”
Gets Blank Negative
Soon after that the photographer tried taking a picture of Pvt. Kane. He got a blank negative. He tried again and again and in all he’s had Pvt. Kane' pose {five times and every time the negative is blank. The photographer swears there is nothing wrong with his camera. Pvt. Kane has his own idea. He suspects that a Gremlin is sticking his finger in the shutter. Of course, Gremlins are first and foremost aerial pixies and when they hear a plane warming up, they jump in their little geeps and speed right out to get aboard. (Geeps are Gremlins’ jeeps, only they're equipped with satin cushions and heaters.) And once they stowaway, they're dead set on riding and riding. Just the other day, a pilot was

was due to Fabien Sevilzky, conhe “gave out” in conducting the Sevitzky had to wipe off the perright is Pvt. Sandy MacPherson,
taking a plane for a short hop over to the Municipal airport. Just as he took off, a whole pack of Gremlins hitched a ride on the plane’s retractable landing gear. When he got ready to land, the Gremlins just held the retractable landing gear in and wouldn't let it down. The pilot flew back over Stout field and circled and circled around and finally muttered to himself someihing about bringing the ship in on its belly.
The Gremlins Let Go
With that the Fifinellas, who had been warming their hands on the sparkplugs, hurried below and ordered the Gremlins to let go, which they did. (The Fifinellas always wear the pants in the Gremlin families—figuratively, that is, for they don’t want to cover up their nylon stockings). .
Of course, Gremlins have specialists, too. There are the spade-nosed Gremlins which dig holes in the air field and those that can successfully bottle prop wash. There is even a white-collar Gremlin. In fact, the first Gremlin at Stout field may have been one of this type. He adopted Lieut. John R. Crandall, the adjutant, {and makes himself at home in the | lieutenant’s fountain pen. So that when Lieut. Crandall wants to sign Lieut. Crandall with a special flourish on a very important paper, the Gremlin just pushes the ink | out in a great big spurt and makes | a big blot on the paper.
Naturally, Stout field is doing something about this Gremlin invasion. The men have to make! Gremlins always act. that. way anyway.
Zoot Suits Ruined
Bat they can be reformed. In a hangar, a Gremlin training school has been set up. It includes a miniature air field. At first Gremlins and widgets, who enroll, try their old tricks but everything has: been specially prepared beforehand. If widgets siart jitterbugging on! the wings of a miniature glider to throw it off balance, the wing collapses and the widgets fall into a pan of used engine oil. This ruins their zoot suits and since widgets, are very particular about their | hey resolve to do their) “peckin” only on the dance floor.
And when a Gremlin gang tries! to get under the cowl of a training i ship to pull out the wires, out jumps: a trained Woffledegit and chases! them around and around until they hang from the ceiling by their suction boots, panting “never again, never again.”
Stout: field is training -a lot of these Woffledegits to help for that is the quickest way. (Woffledegits, as everybody knows, come from Sprotch and are red with horns and tails.) Gremlins firmly believe that Woffledegits feed on nothing but Gremlins when as a matter of fact they like nothing but beer.

“The Star-Spangled Banner” ended the program. Everybody sang it last night. Everybody. If the Atterbury show, entitled “We Did It Before,” incidentally, was anything, it was an unexpected treat. Every act was of professional caliber, Pvt. Russ Slagle’s “reading” a la Robert Benchley was one of the funniest pieces of stage monolog I've ever seen on the stage. He used a. Benchley script which he touched up deftly with local references. I don’t remember seeing an entertainer holding his audience in fits of laughter as long as he did. He was suppposed to imitate
Benchley, but his touch was dis-|\
tinctly original and I have the impression that he has created a character which is his own. Pvt. Sandy MacPherson, the M. C., sang, danced and pulled some good audience participation gags. The impersonation of the Andrews Sisters, done by Pvts. Slagle, McPherson and Peterson, who borrowed | {women’s hats from the audience, was a howl. It was the Andrews. Sisters singplayer and the three soldiers who

‘Peat Bog Soldiers’
Pvt. Norm Atkins who left the Broadway show, “Lady in the Dark,” to join the army, sang an unusual number called “The Peat Bog Soldiers,” the English translation of a German “Volga Boat” song chanted by forced labor battalions under the
singing of it. Sergt. Paul Krauss of Indianapolis sang the famous swing spiritual, “Shadrach,” in a rich baritone. And there was Pvt. Tommy Gambon, former m. c. at Boston’s ill-fated’ Cocoanut Grove, who sang “Yankee. {Doodle Boy” in the George M. Go} ‘ han manner. Other outstanding acts were given | by the 331st Infantry glee club; Pvt. Rudolph Vereen, dancer; Corp.
