{or this show. It consists of a steel

ordinary pair of government issue pants and tank boots. A cowboy model six-shooter swings at his hip, and sometimes he wears two. of them. “Old Blood and Guts” prefers to direct a battle standing up in a light tank so he can get up and down the line quickly. ‘ Gen. Patton is taking this war so seriously that he has given up smoking and drinking until Tunis and Bizerte are captured. He enjoys both a smoke and a drink and is looking forward to both. “I hope,” he says, “that when I enter Tunis somebody meets me with a cigar and a bottle of whisky.”

“Privates Do Most”

Gen. Patton is 57 and the hair fringing his bald spot is turning gray, but he has a fresh complexion and alert eyes of steel blue. Twentyfive years ago he was an aid to Gen. John J. Pershing in France and since then he has specialized in mobile warfare, particularly in desoiate terrain until now he is recognized as the army’s foremost expert on tank fighting. His favorite fighting man is the buck private. “The private who is out there getting shot at does most of the

work in this war,” he says. “He

gets damned little credit out of it, too. A man can be as ferocious as hell back home on three hot meals a day, but it takes guts to live in a foxhole in the rain eating cold rations.” . : Little to Say to Press His attitude toward the common soldier is one of fatherly interest, put he has the most caustic tongue in the army when he is “eating out” an officer who has made a mistake. Gen. Patton’s fluent cursing is

known throughout the army, and a

typical example of it occurred early in the North African campaign. He commanded the task force that occupied Casablanca and ran into the stiffest fighting of any unit. A few days later he went to allied headquarters and was persuaded to hold a press conference to tell about con-

-{ditions in his sector.

His report consisted of one sen-

tence: “Everything is — = quiet in Casablanca.” :
