Hoosier Vagabond

: right into the lines with his aid« . ‘We drove forward about a mile in our two jeeps, so loaded with . litter bearers they were even riding on the hood. Finally we had to ‘stop and wait until a bulldozer filled a new shell crater in the middle of the road. We had gone only about a hundred yards beyond the crater when we ran into some infantry. They stopped us and said: “Be careful where you're going. The Germans are only 200 yards up the road.” Capt. Strawn said he couldn't get to the wounded men that way, so he turned around to try another way. A side road led off at an angle from a shattered village we had just passed through.’ He decided to try to get up that road. ' But when we got there the road had a house .blown across it, and it was blocked. We went forward a little on foot and found two deep bomb craters, also tinpassable. So Capt. Strawn walked back to the bulldozer, and asked the driver if he would go ahead of us and elear the road. The first thing the driver asked was, “How close to the front is it?" : The doctor said, “Well, at Jeast it, isn't any closer than you are right now.” So the dozer driver agreed ¢o clear the road ahead of us. While we were waiting a soldier came over and showed us two eggs he had just found in the backyard of a jumbled house. There wasn't an untouched house left standing in the town, and some ; of the houses were still smoking inside.

Two Shock Cases Come Stigering I In

ALSO, WHILE we were waiting, two shock cases eame staggering down the road toward us. They were (pot wounded “but were completely broken—the kind that stab into your heart. They were shaking all over, and had to hold onto each other like little girls when they walked. The doctor stopped them. They could barely talk, barely Understand. He told them to‘wait down at the next corner until we came back, and then they could ride. “When they turned away from the jeep, they turned slowly and unsteadily, a step at a time, like men who were awfully drunk. Their mouths hung open and their eyes stared, and they still held onto each other,

for rest.”

The doctor sent the able German soldier along with our litter bearers to help carry. He was very willing ‘to help. I stayed at the house with the doctor while he looked at the wounded German, lying in the midst of the scattered debris on what had been a kitchen floor. {The Germah didn’t seem 10 be badly wounded, but he was sure full of misery. He looked middle-aged, and-he was pale, partly bald, had a big nose and his face was yellow. He kept moaning and twisting. The doctor said he thought morphine was making him sick. The doctor took his scissors and began cutting his clothes open to see if he was wounded anywhere except in the arm. He wasn’t. But he had been sick at his stomach and then rolled over. He was Sure a superman sad sack. Pretty soon the litter bearers came back. They had two wounded Germans and one American on their litters. Also they had two walking cases—one hearty fellow with a slight leg wound, and one youngster whose hands were trembling from nervous tension. The doctor asked him what was the matter and he said nothing was, except that he couldn't stop shaking. He said he felt that his nerves were all right, but he just couldn't keep his hands from trembling.

The Machinegunner Was Game

HE WAS a machineginner on a half-track. Capt. Strawn talked kindly to him. “Who sent you back?” he asked.

‘Conservative Side By ThomasL. Stokes

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.~The result of the senaie fight over reconversion legislation throws some light "on political line-ups that are significant not only for now, but for the post-war readjustment, The successful coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats, the latter largely from the South, demonstrated again that congress is effectively anti-New Deal on matters of domestic policy. This has been apparent for two years—since the 1942 elections which swept more Republicans into congress and gave the coalition real control. The reconversion contest in the senate demonstrated also that the C. 1. O's Political Action Committee, despite all the hubbub raised since its noisy political initiation at the Democratic convention, still cannot translate its influence legislatively in congress. The C. I. O. was backing the Murray-Kilgore bill, rejected by the senate in favor of the George measure.

Explains C. I. O. Tactics

% . ms SETBACK in the senate, in which more conservative labor also was enlisted on the same side, explains its aggressive tactics in creation of the Political Action Committee which aims to organize its forces to. vote to change the complexion of congress. The administration's defeat showed how outmoded is the THe “rubber-stamp congress” cry that was raised from so many stumps in the 1936 and 1940 presidential eampaigns.

“Rubber stamp” must have an ironical ring now to Mr. Roosevelt. He has been rebuffed, time and again; in-the last two years on legislative matters of domestic policy by the Republican-Conservative Democratic coalition in congress, Congress is now a conservative element in the tripartite American system of executive, legislative and judiciary, showing the operation of the checks and balances devised by the founding fathers. In the early days of the New Deal the judiciary, represented by the supreme court, was the conservative check. Mr. Roosevelt got this changed and for a time, the conservative element was missing. But not for long, for congress began to swing conservative in 1928 just about the time the Supreme court became New Dealish,

Wide Gulf in Party

WEATHER NEW DEALISM is to be voted out of the executive depends on the November election. But, whether President Roosevelt or Governor Dewey is elected, it seems that congress will be conservative during the post-war domestic readjustment. It is fear of this that has so stirred the liberal forces, including | labor, to organize at the polls to try to shift the oongressional balance in their favor. The reconversion fight in the senate demonstrated again the wide gulf between the extreme wings “of the Democratic party—Southern conservatism and the | C. 1. O.

Sees Faith Renewed

But best of all, it seemed, was his privilege to witness foreign mis{sions “operating in reverse.” For he saw many a chap whose religious faith was lukewarm indeed, when he came to the island, renew his faith as his heart was warmed by the kindness and nospitality of the! natives. Those black men, clad in the scant attire of a grass skirt, whose fathers and grandfathers ate human flesh, daily live the Christinaity taught them by missionaries. Four different denominations— Roman Catholic, Anglician, Méethodist and Presbyterian chufches— divided New Guinea between them for missionary work. There is great fellowship between the four and they do not tread upon each other's toes, the dean said. Nor is there a “color line” on the island. White men are in the minority but even so, the natives do not “discriminate” against them because of the pigment of their skin. Dean Bodger's advice to parents and his audiences is: “When the war is over, send the boys forth armed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ to win the world for peace. And do it with the same intensity of purpose that you are sending them into baitle.” .

DRAFT FILES OPEN “FOR BALLOT CHECK

Mr. Steers said the check awill help to minimize the possibility of illegal voting in the November election.

EXPERTS DECRY NIMITZ REPORT

Gen. Lear, Others Believe Japs Will Fight to The End.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (U. PJ. —Military experts today expressed disagreement with Adm. Nimitz's view that the Japanese may capitu-

late before their home islands are invaded. One of these experts, who has been closely associated with Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the Southwest Pacific, said the feeling among military authorities in that area is that the Japanese will make a lastditch stand on their own homeland even if their navy, their air force and their outlying possessions, are destroyed or wrested from them. This view was given support by the statement of Lt. Gen, Ben Lear, new chief of the army ground forces, before the 46th national encampment of the Spanish American war veterans at Cincinnati,

may’ return home via the Suez canal and Tokyo after years of ab. sence,” Lear said. “A great many men will be needed for the decisive operations in the Pacific to carry through the final assault against the Japanese on the new firing line.” The navy can facilitate the even. tual invasion of Japan by destroying the Japanese fleet, the experts said, but the ground troops will have to deliver the final blow. And that will not be an easy job, they contended, because it is apparent the Japanese will fight to the death even though they know their cause is hopeless. These experts said that even if the homeland were invaded and seized by the Americans, these expeits added, the chances are that Japanese troops remaining on the Asiatic mainland would elect to fight it out. .
