. IN NORMANDY (By Wireless).—The hospital was block ‘there ‘seemed to be fighting. I say seemed to be, because actually you can’t always tell. Street fighting is ust as confusing as field fighting. One : ‘side will bang away for a while, . then the other side. Between these sallies there are long lulls, with only stray and isolated shots, Just an occasional soldier is. sneaking about, and you don’t see anything of the enemy at all. You 't “tell half the time just what situation is, and neither can the slodiers. * . i About a block beyond the hospital entrance two American tanks were sitting in the middle of the street, one about 50 yards ahead of the other. I walked toward them. Our infantrymen were in doorways along the street. I got within about 50 feet of our front tank when it let go its 75millimeter gun. The blast was terrific there in the narrow street. Glass came tinkling down from nearby windows, smoke puffed around the tank, and the empty street was shaking and trembling with the concussion. As the tank continued to shoot I ducked into a doorway, because I figured the Germans would shoot back. Inside the doorway there was a sort of strietlevel cellar, dirt-floored. Apparently there was a wine . shop abo¢®, for the cellar was stacked with wire crates for ‘holding wine bottles on their sides. ‘There were lots of bottles, but they were all empty.

German Shel Makes Direct Hit

I WENT back to the doorway and stood peeking out at the tank. It started backing up. Then sud- _ denly a vellow flame pierced the bottom of the tank and, there was a crash of such intensity that I automatically blinked my eyes. The tank, hardly 50 feet from where I was standing, had been hit by an enemy shell. } A second shot ripped the pavement at the side of the tank. There was smoke all around, but the tank didn't catch fire. In a moment the crew came boiling out of the turret. ~ Grim as.jt was, I almost had to laugh as they ran toward us.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

RUNNING OUT OF gasoline east of Broad Ripple, Russell Campbell, the OPA information specialist, managed to get another motorist to push his car to a Broad Ripple filling station. There, Russ discovered he had no money, also no gasoline coupons. What to do? He offered to leave his spare tire as surety'for a gallon of gas. Nothing doing; it's too near worn out, the attendant shrugged. Just then Russ had a brilliant thought. Mrs. Campbell was with him, “How about letting me have a gallon“of gas and I'll leave my wife here while I drive home?” Quickly the attendaht protested: “No, no; take her away, Bud. I've got one of my own at home!” The attendant finally gave in and let Russ have a half-gal-lon—minus surety—so he could go home. . . . Closed recently while it was being painted, a Delaware st. barber shop had a sign on it reading: “Closed until paint dries.” . . . No matter where they are, our Indianapolis boys will get into arguments, and then they turn to the home town to settle the argument. The water company has just received a letter from T-4 Earl Brake, now on New Guinea, asking technical information on water purification, to settle a discussion. He formerly was a chemist with the Riley Laboratories on 8. Tibbs ave.

Finds Lost Lovebird >—

"WHILE WATERING the shrubbery in the back yard, Mrs. George Pierson, 5323 Washington bivd., discovered a lovebird on the lawn. It was so close to her that she almost stepped on it. The bird wasn't afraid, followed her around the yard and used the hose for a perch. Mrs. Pierson had an old bird cage which she dug out and placed on the lawn. The Jovebird walked in and stayed, appearing contented.

The first shot hit a tread, so the tank couldn't move. That was when the boys got out. I don't know why the Germans didn't fire at them as they poured out. an . The escaped tankers naturally were excited, but they were as jubilant as June-bugs and ready for more. They had never been in combat before the invasion of Normandy, yet in three weeks their tank had been shot up three times. Each time is was repaired and put back in action. And it can be repaired again this time. The name of their tank, appropriately, is “Be Back Soon.”

Worried Because Engine Was Running

THE MAIN worry of these boys was the fact that they had left the engine running. We sould hear it chugging away. It’s bad for a tank motor -to idle very long. But now they were afraid to go back and turn the motor off, for the tank was still right in line with the hidden German gun. Also, they had come out wearing their leather crash helmets. Their steel helmets were still inside the tank, and so were their rifles. “We'll be a lot of good without helmets or rifles!” one of them said. The crew ‘consisted ‘of Cpl. Martin Kennelly, Chicago, the tank commander; Sgt. L. Wortham, Leeds, Ala., dfiver; Pvt. Ralph Ogren, Minneapolis, assistant driver; Cpl. Albin Stoops, Marshalltown, Dela., gunner, and Pvt. Charles Rains, Kansas City, the loader. Pvt. Rains was the oldest of the bunch, and the only married one. He used to work as a guard at the Sears, Roebuck plant-in Kansas City. Ce “1 was M. P. to 1500 women,” he-said with a grin, “and how I'd.like to be back doing that!” The other tankers all expressed loud approval of this sentiment,

Toward Court-Martial

~ 0f Commanders.

WASHINGTON, July 15 (U.P) — A formal military investigation of the disastrous Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was under way. today with the naming of high-ranking army and navy courts of inquiry to delve into the &ircumstances surrounding the attack. The - special military “grand juries” were set up -yesterday in obedience to a resolution passed by congress and signed by the President ordering the war and navy secretaries to “proceed forth< with” to investigate the “catastrophe.” Though the courts of inquiry are expected to be basically fact~ finding ‘committees, their creation obviously brings a step nearer the inevitable courts-martial of Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Maj. Gen. Walter G. Short, Pearl Harbor commanders at the time of the Japanese attack. ® Charges on File

Behind the Scenes By Thoritas L. Stokes

wr) a

WASHINGTON, July 15.—An interesting side show in the hectic behind-the-scenes battle over the Democratic vice presidential nomination is the activity of Thomas G. (“Warwick”) Corcoran, one-time braintruster who left the New Deal a few years ago for """ the more lucrative profession of lawyer-lobbyist. Mr. Corcoran is maneuvering in his usual busybody fahion to eliminate Vice President Wallace and put over someone else. His first choice seems to be Associate Justice William O. Douglas of the supreme court, whom he trotted out unsuccessfully in 1940. Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas is second in his book. bo | But he does not stop there. He : "r. has a long list which he pulls out as he dashes around soliciting and, like the bookmaker, asks what you like there if you don't favor the handicapper’s choice. There is always the chance that a vice presidential candidate may, by some chance, get to be President. Tommy would like to have a President on his string, which would not only satisfy his ego but might also be good for his “political influence” business,

Deeper Purposes

TOMMY LOVES political intrigue for its own sake. But he has deeper purposes in mind always. Picking a fellow who later became President, or even picking a fellow who just became vice president, t give him another entree and certainly would his prestige with the fat cat clients for whom been able to open doors with government

his pile, and that he is progress in trying to worm his way back into the administration. The ex-New Deal crusader, a little more plump now of face and figure than when he worked long hours for the government and subsisted on’ the leaner New Deal fare, continues to be an and engaging figure. He is still the life of the party with his accordion in certain New Deal circles, and makes altogether a rather gay troubador, with his ready Irish smile and his bubbling repartee.

Has Ready Entree

HE CANNOT be taken lightly despite the joking about his activities. He is a powerful ‘and effective figure. He has a ready entree in many high places! in the justice department through Attorney General Biddle, in interior through” Secretary —of Interior Ickes and Under Secretary Abe Fortas.
