Hoosier Vagabond

(In addition ‘to Ernie Pyle’s story’ which appears here today, we will print several others -which we
have just received from Okinawa,
We believed he would have wanted us to.
As a ‘great reporter, a
great newspaperman and a great person, he would have wanted his stories to go through, despite his
tragic death.) 3 W OKINAWA
(By Navy Radio). —Now I've seen my
first Jap soldiers in their native state—that is, before
capture. But not for long, because the boys, of my company captured them quicker than a wink.
It was mid-forenoon and we had just-reached our bivouac area after a march of an hour and a half. The boys threw oft their packs, sat down on the ound, and took off their helmets to mop their perspiring foreheads .¢ We were in a small grassy spot wt’ the. foot of a MI. Most of thesé hillsides have caves and have household stuff hidden in them. They are a rich field for souvenir hunters. "And all marines are souvenir hunters. So immediately two of our boys, instead of resting, through the brush, looking for caves and souvenirs. They had gone about "50 yards when one of them yelled “There's a Jap soldier under this bush.” We didn't get too excifed for most. of us figured he meant a dead Jap. But three or Q of the boys got up and went up the hill. A fe®™smoments later somebody yelled. again— * “Hey, here's another one, They're alive and they've got rifles’ Japs Too Scared to Move SO THE BOYS went at them in earnest The Japs were lying under two ‘bushes. They had their hands ~up-over their ears and were pretending to be asleep The marines surrounded the" bushes and. with guns pointing, they ordered the Japs out, But the Japs were too scared to move. They just lay there, blinking. The -average Jap soldier would have come out shooting. But, thank goodness, these were of a different stripe. They were so petrified the marines had to go into the bushes, lift them by the shoulders and s throw them out in the open My contribution to the capture consisted of standing to one, side looking as mean as I could One Jap was small, and about 30 years old other was just a kid of 16.or 17, well built.

we were sitting around, discussing the capture, other boys tried to buy-or trade him out of it. Taylor, the black-whiskered corporal from Jackson, Mich, offered Ossege $100 for the rifle. The answer. was no. . Then Taylor offered four quarts of whisky, the answer still was no. Then he offered eight quarts, Ossege weakened a little, He| said “Where would you get eight quarts of whisky?” Pop said he had no idea. So Ossege kept the rifle. So there you have my first two Japs.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum |
THE WATER CO reservoir near Oaklandon is be= eoming Increasingly popular with fishermen, pic nickers and just plain nature lovers, Nature Study club members find it an ideal place for spotting birds, Beveral hundred ducks and a few geese are among the reservoir’s inhabitants. -Recently, there were at least 100 fishermen - standing on the banks of the reservoir, patiently waiting for nibbles. They weren't catching anything but small ones, but that didn't matter—they were fishing and that's what counted most, There are a few good-sized fish in the lake, but they seem to hang around the dam, where no fishing is allowed. . . . It might surprise you to know that Indiana has quite a sizeable deer population. "Outdoor Indiana for April carries an article by William B. Barnes, project leader for the PittmanRobertson “wildlife research Project 2-R, reporting on the results of a survey conducted last year. The survey disclosed an estimated 1200 white-tailed deer in the state, an increase of 300 over.the number tallied the preceding year, Most of the deer are in the south central counties. But three counties adjoining Marion county—Hamiiton, Morgan and Johnson— have herds. Mr. Barnes says deer were‘reported in 35 of the state's 92 counties.

WORLD ORDER OR WORLD WAR ne. «ri By William Philip Simms
Where 4.8. Stands—The Record Is Plo
The united nations conference at San Francisco begins next Wednesday, This is the last of six articles highlighting the background.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor AN FRANCISCO, April 21. — There are those that, in collective security, the United States has lagged behind.
That is not true. Our. recin international co-operation
The late President’ Roosevelt—to go back no further—took the lead in his first inaugural address March 4, 1933. » “In the fleld of world policy” he said even In those days of une paralelled economic difficulties at home, "“I would dedicate this nas tion to the policy of the good neighe bor . . . the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of good neighbors.” u un on THAT SOUNDED a note and set a standard {rom which neither he ‘nor the nation has wavered from [that day to this.

The good should not be cast the better is unattainable “We are not. fighting for . , . a Utopia,” he declared last October. “So in embarking on the building of a world-fellowship, we have set ourselves a long and ‘ardubus task, a task which will challenge our patience, our intelligence, our imagination as well as our faith.”

Describing United States air policy as “important to the security of her people—if not vital to ‘the peace of the world,” Mr, Wilson adds that a basis for that air policy—and with it the peace— can be found in five major points, He lists them in his book, “Air Power and Peace,” just published, as follows: : “1. Maintain the army and navy air forces at the strength and technical proficiency necessary to preclude a successful assault on ourselves or “our possessions.

“2. FACILITATE THE GROWTH of an adequate private ‘aircraft manufacturing industry through a planned air force replacement and development program working through engineering competition calculated to promote technical leadership and provide the capacity for emergenéy expansion,

CED Reports On Removing War Controls
By EDWARD A. EVANS
WASHINGTON, April 21—Amer= leans have frusted their govern= “nent “with ‘extraordinary wartime powers to control and direct their economic-life. Some people would like the government to retain these powers ind2finitely. Others would have them surrendered abruptly when t h e fighting stops. But the great majority, e “think, will agree with the committee for economic development, which says in substance: End controls over production, manpower, wages as soon as the emergency need for them has ended, but not mer. Do not jeopardize the war effort or the successful transition to a healthy peacetime economy. by premature removal of any control... Do not endanger the people's freedom by continuing any control that is no longer clearly necessary to. victory over enemies abroad and inflation at home. ” ” n THIS, THE CED recognizes, is is easier to say than it will be to do. The war is being won step by step. Wartime controls must, be released or relaxed in the same way-some. after victory in Europe, others when Japan goes down, still others, perhaps, not until our industries get back into normal production ‘And, because the controls are independent, their removal will involve tremendous problems of timing. and co-ordination. Fheir. solution calls for “sound, forward planning, wise and flexible administration, and utmost co-operation among business, labor, .agriculture, the consuming public and government agencies.” a8 = ” SUCH WORDS come with peculiar force from the committee for economic development. This - nation-wide organization of businessmen has as its objective a high level of employment in the United States after the war —employment soundly based on high production, high: consumption and high wages, under free
"private enterprise.
The CED's report on removal of wartime controls, one of a series designed to chart the way to that objective, deserves earnest consideration from President Truman and from congress.
We, the Women
Army Should Build Morale Of Wives, Too
By RUTH MILLETT “THE ARMY. is counting on a movie to tell the G. Is who have finished wish:~fighting in Europe why the battle isn't over and why
the Japanese.” Washington + story. From where 1 sit receiving irate answers from wives of
men in the European the- : ater to a colo! al umn I wrote . telling them ory that setting i their minds 3 3 against their men going to the Pacific would only make such a course harder for themselves and for their men ~]1 think the army had better .» prépare another movie explaining to the women why their men are still needed.
Apparently ‘many of them don't
understand. All they know is how they feel. That is that their men have had a rough time in Europe, and that once their job is finished there they should be returned home to become husbands and fathers again. Or in the words of one particularly emphatic war wife, the mother of three small children: “Our men have ‘proven that they can take it, and we, their wives, have proven that we can. Now let some of the men who have been sitting at home getting fat and sassy prove that they can too, and let their wives who have had them at home all this time have a chance to prove their courage. Why should we and our husbands have td take it twice?” v ” » ” MAYBE the thousands of let ters of protest going to congressmen from the wives and mothers of men now in Europe will make Uncle Sam understand that when he shows the G. I. in Europe why the fight isn't over he has only
done half of a morale-building -
job. Through their letters women strongly influence their men. And if Mrs. G. L is bitter and feels imposed upon and cheated, her man in uniform is going to find it hard to be a good soldier in a second war, For his sake as well as her own she should be made to under. stand, too.
