OKINAWA (By Navy Radio) —It's marvelous to gee a bunch of American troops go about making themselves at home wherever they get a chance to settle down for a few days. My company of 1st division marines dug in at the edge of a bomb-shattéred vill-

age. The village was gqudiat and not without charm.. I was astonished at the similarity with the. i villages of Sicily and Italy. The town didn't really seem Oriental. The houses were wooden liquid one-story buildings, surrounded ) by little vegetable gardens, Instead of fences, each lot was divided by rows of shrubs or trees. moved The cobble stoned streets were 5 Just wide enough for a jeep, They yj) were winding and walled on both glides by head-high stone walls. A good part of the town lay shifittered. Scores of the houses had burned and only ashes and red roofing tile were left. Wander- ) KILL ing around, I counted the bodies of four Okinawans : still ‘in the streets. Otherwise the town was deserted. The people had fled to their caves in the hillsides, taking most of their personal belongings with them. There is almost no furniture in Japanese houses, so inst they didn't have to worry about that. ft, After a few days the grapevine carried the word icked to them that we were treating them well so they ry began to come out in droves and give themselves up. | I heard one story about a hundred Okinawa ‘ci---villians who had a Jap soldier among them, and when a they realized the atrecity stories he had told them about the Americans were untrue,’ our M.

A couple 3 of officers and a dozen men moved into the house and slept on the floor and we cooked our rations ; over an open stone cookstove in the rear, Then the word went around for the men of the sompany to dig in for several days. Two platoons were assigned to dig in along the outer sides of the nearby hills for perimeter defense. The boys were told they could keep the horses

THOSE NAZI prisoners down’ at Camp’ Aferbury come in handy sometimes, especially when the army

has a job ta do that requires “main strength and awkwardness.” For instance, a big army truck carry-

: ng three large safes, for which the army had lost the combination, pulled up “4n front of Audley Dunham's lock shop on N, Hlinois several days ago. Along with the safes came a detail of German prisoners. One of the safes was about 6 feet tall and 4'; feet wide and deep. That didn't matter; a number of the Nazis went to work and lifted it .out, The No, 1 lifter seemed to be a stockily built chap with close clipped hair. Ray Flinchpaugh, one of the locksmiths,

said to his fellow worker, Frank Freund: “Who is that guy—Superman?” Ray, who didn't know the Nazi understood English, was

surprised when the latter turned around, grinned, * and“replied: “Yah, Superman. Dot's me.” That panicked spectators, and even the other Nazis seemed to enjoy the joke.... A woman pedestrian stepped up to Patrolman John Stonehouse at Washington and Meridian and handed him a copy of a clipping from “an Ohio newspaper, Sept. 18,1877.” It read: tug spirited horse caused an accident yesterday. It thould be remembered that the pedestrians have the right of way, and the drivers of fast horses should be made to keep a sharp lookout.” It seems pecestrians had their troubles even in those days.

DR. ROY W, SCOTT, president of the American Heart association, said today that he would take steps to interest the leaders of American medicine in launching a nation-wide organization to raise $10,000,000 a year for research. on diseases of the arteries. Dr, Scott, one of the nation’s well-known heart specialists, is also chairman of the American Board of Internal Medicine, He is professor of clinical medicine in Western Reserve university and physician in chief of City hospital, Cleveland. 1 proposed the formation of such an annual campaign in this column last week, pointing out that" it would be a fitting memorial to the memory of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Cerebral hemorrhage, which caused the death of ‘the. President, is one of three conditions, all beginning with hypertension or high blood pressure, which cause one-third of all the déaths in America; The three are heart disease, kidney disease and cerebral hemorrhages

Seriousness Discussed DR. SCOTT disclosed today that many. months before the death of Mr. Roosevelt, he had discussed the seriousness of the situation with respect to these diseases with a committee of the association of presidents of American life insurance companies. This committee is headed by Mr. M. A. Linton, president’ 6f the Provident Mutual Life Insurance Co. of Philadelphia,

But. it was almost as touching coming home to ‘New York as it had been leaving Washington, for here -again everyone greeted us with real emotion.

Marines Wear Kimonos

AN ORDER went, out against wearing Jap clothing or eating ‘any of the local vegetables, pork, goat, beef or fowl. But this was before the order came out, The marines had dug up lots of Japaifése kimonos out of the smashed hcuses and put them on while washing their one set of clothes. If you ever want to see a funny sight, just take a look at a few dozen dirty ana unshaven marines walking around in pink and blue women's kimonos, A typical example was Pvt.

We, the Women Girls Train for Careers as Housewives

By RUTH MILLETT A WOMAN whose Y. W. C. AU. 8. 0. job takes her to college campuses all over the country reports that the question most often asked today by co-eds is, “What can- we do to become asmature as the young men our age who have gone to war?” It is a good thing college girls are really interested in growing up fast enough to be on a level of understanding with the young men who have gone to war. Still they shouldn't expect to mature as fast on a college campus as a man matures who is facing death in a foxhole.

NOR WILL they mature in the same ways. But they can grow up-enough to be good companions and understanding wives to the men who traded college for war. Of course, they ought to know as much as posible. about the war and the world today, so that they won't seem like dummies to the young men who have been learn. ing history and geography the hard way. But where they have a real chance to gain knowledge and maturity that will really help them and the young men they will marry is in taking training that will make them better. wives, better homemakers, and eventually better mot . x.» oN FOR THEIR marriages and _ their homes and their children "are going to be deeply important
