days seemed fit for any position but a general. He “ufinked” ‘in algebra, geometry, physics and Latin. His only “A” was in drawing and. his name went down on Manual rec’ ords as a slightly below averages pupil” . Joining + the National Guard when he left. high school, the black-haired boy with keen black eves came up through the army the hard way. He was not a West Pointer. but began as a- second lieutenant at Ft. Harrison in 1917. When world war IT started he was a colonel. !

Wins Many Medals

Since then, Gen. Smith has participated in invasions of North

Africa, Sicily, Italy and France, |

His uniform is decorated with four rows of medals, including the Distinguished Service Medal with a cluster, the Legion of Merit, the Legion of Honor, the K. C. B. and the croix de guerre with a palm. He formerly was chief of staff in the Mediterranean area and now is chief of staff to the supreme allied commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. “We are counter-attacking today in a_ driving snowstorm and bitter weather and are driving the Germans back through their salient,” he told Miss Knox in his. first. correspondence with her since his high school days. “Much as I feel for our troops, the way they stand up to it makes me proud that I have been an ine fantryman throughout my service.” While Gen. Smith is fighting in Germany, Gen, ‘Buchanan, a 1911 Manual graduate, is right behind him commanding an infantry division in France. Gen. Buchanan was a member of the first graduating class sponsored by Miss Knox.

“A Brilliant Student”

“I remember him well” the silver-haired teacher recailed. “I had him in solid geometry. and trigonometry and I can still see Him in class. He was a very brilllant student.

Gen. Buchanan, who is 51, also began his army life in the National Guard. In the last war he was a second lieutenant and a motorized artillery instructor in France. He has served as head of the National Guard, as a member of the general staff in Washington and was aide to Gen. Marshall for six months, About three years agd he was promoted to brigadier general and in September, 1943, he went to England. - A short time after D-day he went to France to head the 9th infantry.

It will be the control cenfer of the largest veterans organization ‘the world has ever seen. It will be an ‘mportant stabilizing factor in assisting our returning sons’ and daughters in their efforts to rehabilitate themselves in civilian life.” Reminding the legislators that the Legion is a “tremendous financial

linvestment,” Commander Scheiber-

ling quoted the organization's 19 operating budget at $2,700,000. . . . Our bank deposits in Indiana since, 1919 have exceeded $33,000,000.

4 Civic Aims Cited

“The Legion is a non-profit organization,” he continued. “Every penny of our resources is used to expedite endeavors ‘that help our community, state and nation. The Legion's slogan is ‘God and country,’ and a million and a half members are carrying out that slogan through a. vast network of 12,243 posts.” Although the house ways and means committee heard a commit tee of Leglon officers last week, it has taken no further action in the

It is believed that committee members are awaiting some word from Governor Gates, a former :state commander of the Legion. ] Recently, there has been some talk of a later special session of the legislature at which all post-

war construction appropriations would be considered: But Legion officers have told the ways and means committee that delay until that time on the Legion building measure would be too late,
