Veteran of Two Wars Killed

only 22, yet from appearances he could have been any age up to 40. His black whiskers were caked with dust, he wore green celluloid sun glasses, and all his upper front teeth were out, giving him a half childish, half ancient look. His teeth were knocked out in an auto wreck before he left the States, and he has never been still long enough since to get a plate made. I asked him if he didn't have trouble eating, and he said: “No.. I get along fine. There's pothing to chew in C-rations anyway.” i As soon as we drove down inte the water and got our truck offiplally turned into a boat I intro- . ‘duced myself, and Pvt. Schneider ‘said: v “Oh yes, I just finished reading your book. It was all right.” From that moment Pvt. Schneider was, for my money, the cham- ’ plon duck driver of the American army. A man of great perspicacity and acumen, even without teeth.

Ducks Are Funny

ONCE IN the water, Pvt. Schneider shifted a few gears and pulled a lever to start the bilge pump. The engine made a terrific clatter, and we could hardly hear each other, We had gone only a little way when Pvt. Schneider yelled, “Would you like to drive it?” I said, “Sure.” Bo he took his foot off the throttle and we traded seats, ; Driving a duck is funny. You turn the wheel, and about 15 seconds later you get the reaction to it. You anticipate the waves, and turn toward them a little. I must admit that I felt very big and important, driving a rusty and battered-up old duck out through the shell-strewn waters of Anzio after another load of the precious supplies that keep everything going on this tiny cameo of & beachhead. » » . SOME FORMS of unloading stop at night, but the ducks work right on through. Each driver does a 12hour shift; but he does get some rest at the dump out in the country while he waits to be unloaded. Pvt. Schneider says their big worry is not being shelled, but being run down at night by the bigger and faster ships known as LCTs. We have lost a few ducks that way. The ducks take an awful beating being slammed

They are soft, for ease in climbing out onto the beaches, and won't take too much running around .on land. Another trouble is that salt water gets in the brakes. Every now and then you hear a story of a wreck caused by the brakes going out. But on the whole the duck is almost as wonderful in this war as the jeep.

Feeling of Infallibility PVT. SCHNEIDER has worn out two ducks and is

on his third one. He has had some close shaves, but

has never been hit. When you go a long time, as he has done, with fire all around you and you never get hit, you sometimes build up a feeling of infallibility about yourself, and you don't worry too much about what might happen. Pvt. Schneider was just out of high school when | he went into the army, via the National Guard. His wife works in a defense plant at Seattle. He has been through the invasions of Sicily, Salerno and Anzio. He says he would just as soon drive a duck as do anything else. This is exactly the fine philosophy you'd expect of a man who reads good books.

The conference meeting raised the possibility that it might have some connection with the new studies which Secretary of State Cordell Hull has reported under way with a view to sparing Rome. The Irish legation here released de Valera's note on Rome last night after the state department made public President Roosevelt's reply. Mr. Roosevelt told de Valera that “the fate of Rome” rests with Germany, which is “using to the limits of its capacities the communication network and other facilities of

military operation.” The United States, it was learned, has not yet decided what sort of diplomatic action to take against Eire for its refusal to turn out the axis representatives. Whatever it is, however, the Irish appeal in behalf of Rome probably will be weighed well before the final decision.

Military Court Charges They Aided Nazis in N. African War.

ALGIERS, April 20 (U. P.).—Five Frenchmen were under sentence of death today and 22 others faced prison terms after being convicted of treason by a special French military tribunal for fighting the allies as members of the Vichy “African Phalange” in Tunisia. . The prison sentences ranged from hard labor for life to suspended sentences. The “African Phalange” was organized by Marshal Henri Philippe Petain and composed of Frenchmen living in Tunisia who volunteered to fight with the German Africa Korps against the allies. Its members were required to take an oath of loyalty to both Petain and Hitler. The five men will be executed by rifle fire on the Hussein Dey range where another Vichy French collaborationist, Pierre Pucheu, was shot for treason after being convicted by the same tribunal,

List Doomed Men

Those doomed unless their sentences are commuted by Gen. Charles De Gaulle, are: Henri-Louis Vincent, 29-year-old professor of Sousse college who steadfastly claimed he joined the Phalange merely to help police keep order after the devastating American air raids. Sgt. Joseph Barreau, 33, who joined after hearing a propaganda speech. He and one other soldier were the only men in their entire regiment to volunteer. Henry Duchatel, 33, a librarian who served as Phalange librarian. Jean Ronet, 42-year-old retired sergeant who served as a machine

sion, The house passed the measure late yesterday by a vote of 334 to 21 but there were indications that the senate would not get to it before mid-May because of other important pending legislation. The bill would extend the life of the lend-lease program one year beyond the present June 30 expiration date.

Predicts Amendments

“In fact,” White said, “I feel that all the major legislation still pending will move along to passage. There is a natural disinclination to oppose legislation that you know must pass in some form in the final analysis.” He sald some amendments may be offered in the senate but did not speculate on their nature. Other Republicans were inclined to agree with White that lendlease must be continued as a valuable contribution to the war effort. That position was summed up by Senator Homer Ferguson (R. Mich.) who said: “Lend-lease properly administered is one of our efficient war weapons and should be used as extensively as possible. In effect it saves us from sending armed forces into the battle line~ to use the materials of war we make with our industrial machine.”

Favors Frequent Reviews

Ferguson said he believed that the administration. of lend-lease should be reviewed by congress from time to time, however, to see that it is being used wholly for the war effort and not as an instrument of social betterment among less wealthy allies, The house authorized the oneyear extension of lend-lease with only one amendment. It was sponsored by Rep. James M. Wadsworth (R. N. Y). and approved unanimously by the house foreign affairs committee.

“They're making too much of it,” said Capt. Maurice Britt of Ft. Smith, Ark. after receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor, Near Mignano, Italy, last November.

WLB DEBATES EXTRA PIT PAY

Uninterrupted Production Depends on Action for Back Wages.

WASHINGTON, April 20 (U. P.). —Uninterrupted production in the | troubled soft coal fields appeared to| hinge directly today on a speedy decision by the war labor board on demands by the United Mine Workers for $40 in retroactive pay for each miner. The prospect of a new crisis was raised sharply late yesterday when Coal Administrator Harold L. Ickes said he was without legal authority to grant the demand. U. M. W. President John L. Lewis appealed to Ickes after charging that the WLB and bituminous operators were “conspiring to defraud” his miners of $18,000,000 assertedly due them in retroactive settlement of their portal-to-portal wage claims for April, May and June, 1943. Ickes told U.M.W. and operators’ representatives’ that he favored the miners’ demand but that he could not direct the payments in the absence of an “effective contract” between either the operators, miners or the government. The disputed $40 payment was provided in an agreement signed by 70 per cent of the industry and now awaiting WLB approval.

Hitchcock obtained a commission in the army air forces soon after Pearl Harbor and went to England in 1942, where he served as assistant air attache at the United States embassy in London before becomirfg attached to the 9th air foree.

His relatives in the United States were advised of his death last night by U. S. Ambassador John G. Winant. His widow was reported en route from Florida to Aiken, S. C. It was not known whether she had been informed of his death. At the outbreak of the first world war Hitchcok volunfeered for the army, but was rejected because he was only 17. He then joined the famous Lafayette Escadrille, with which he fought until shot down behind the German lines,

Despite his wound, he escaped to Switzerland. Between service in two wars, Mr. Hitchcock made polo history. He was from a family of equine en=thusiasts.

Kohlimeyer advised that arrangements call for approximately 4000 workers in the camps, arran jointly by employers and Pury university, He said that, county agricultural agents and farm labor committees have been active in surveying manpower needs and supply and working out other details in connection with the plan. Kohlmeyer said that the first camps are expected to get underway about May 20 to June 15 for the purpose of pulling tomato plants for transplanting in the state’s tomato belt. He advised that farmers would have access to the service of approximately 1000 Jamaicans to be sent into the state again to assist in seasonal work.
