Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

EMMETT BELZER, spending a couple of months in the Bell Telephone laboratories, makes my mouth water by sending me an elaborate menu from an oyster and chop house in New York. Apparently there's no food shortage in New York. Or else the menu is designed merely to tease folks. The. entrees for one day included all sorts of. sea food, plus spare ribs and sauerkraut, Yankee pot roast, lamb" stew, salisbury steak with onions, potted beef, tongue and egg, calves liver, breaded veal cutlet, extra sirloin steak ham steak, prime. ribs of beef, etc. Okay, folks; gc ahead and’ drool, . . .

J.,” and ask for an application blank. Any flier who has to bail out to save his life is eligible. I get my information from Ray Rice of the Quality Tool & Die Cg. Ray's a member, He didn't exactly bail out—he got bailed out! It happened last October. He and anothel flier were Ray's safety belt broke while the plane was upside down and he found himself flying through the air-sadownward— with the greatest of speed. A yatik on his parachute ripcord averted what might have been quite a jolt for Ray.

ARCH GROSSMAN is giving up the chairmanship of the Red Cross camp and hospital committee. He's done a nice job, of making life more pleasant for servicemen stationed at Ft. Harrison, Stout field and Camp Atterbury in the last three years. The only trouble was that he was devoting about 90 per cent of his time to the committee and 10 per cent to his coal brokerage business.

Eleven Came Back

SALZBURG, Austria.—Quoth the Colonel: “Well, take Item company of the 30th regiment, for in-t stance—if there's anything left of it.” So, let's take Item company—and there's much left of it.

not One hundred and 87 men landed at - Fadala, Africa, Nov. 8, 1942, Capt. Edwin Parr, Minneapolis, commanding.. It was well trained but it was shooting and being shot at for keeps, for the first time. Peter Turick, Reading, , Pa, crumpled and died among them as they. trudged forward, And they, who were wondering what it was like under ‘fire, saw their first

comrade killed —and began’ to know. ; Long, long ago they had

learned to take death and wounds with a shrug and the casual, yet inwardly tense, “they got Joe.” They fought on after Africa, in battles almost forgotten by the American public—Palermo, Cassino, San Fratella, in Sicily; Salerno, Acerno, San Angelo Frasso, the Volturno crossing, Mt. Ratundo, Anzio, in Italy. New men came into. the ranks and Item company went on—and on—to death and victory. There were 187 av Fadala; in 1942, and about the same here; but many men have fought under Item company’s banner in this war. That means a large percentage of casualties. And 11 came rough it all: Sgts. Charles White, Fernando, Cal.; Charles Pack, Pittsburgh; Clyde Clapp, Gibsonville, 8S. C.; Jess Rucker, Roole, Ark.; Willie Boston, Jacksonville, Ill.; Theodore Rucinski, . Chicago; Willard Humbert, Granite City, Ill; Cpls. Carl Hosmer, Pontiac, Mich.; Anton Poltiske, Vinning, Minn., and Pvts. Peter Botka, Chelsea, Mass, and Boleslaus Lukomski, Chicago.

‘Lost 30 at San Fratella’

IT IS EASY to understand, talking to men who use crisp, expressive idioms of frontline outfits, how ‘many American soldiers go through an infantry company. “We Jost 30 men at San Fratella, in Sicily,” Sgt. Pack told me. “Mortars and artillery caught us on a hillside. “They tied us in for three days and nights, without food or water, at Acerno, in the Salerno cam-

ANILA, P.1,, June 12.— “This war- blackened Pearl of the Pacifie, capital of the Philippines, 1s a city. of strange contrasts. Army officers and men dance with chic Filipino girls in near-swank night clubs, while hungry civilians sweep leavings from soldiers’ mess kits amid desolation as great as this war has produced. North of the Pasig river, ‘there's teeming life, civilian and military. South of the 200-foot stream that bisects this once-beautiful city, there's “wanton destruction beyond description. » " ‘8 JUST AS sharp as the life between life and death is the Pasig.

paign,” he continued. “We lost 40 more. At Frasso we were surrounded. We saw. our own reconnaissance men captured. The Krauts captured five of our men° coming from the rear. We had to silence our radios so I went to get the .artillery on the Kraut positions, “But those places were nothing compared to Mt. Ratundo. They hit us for 10 days with screaming mimis and we lost many. more.” All’ that was before Anzio where the 3d division left hundreds of dead, the most terrible trap our troops went through during the war. From Jan. 22 until May 23, they sat on flat beach, in view of the Germans in the mountains-and never were the Jerry guns silent. Everybody was under fire, and fired back. It was there that Sgt. Erie Gibson, a Chicago cook, went: hunting Krauts, found them and won the medal of honof. ’

Then Came France

THEN CAME France, and it was steadily worse as the 7th army fought northward toward Germany. On Nov. 27 they took Strasbourg and the long, tough Vosges mountain campaign began. There, on Hill 615, Sgt. Russell Dunham, Wood River, Ill, earned the congressional medal of honor, and during the same fighting Licien Adams, Port Arthur, Tex., won another—the three highest American awards in one rifle company. When you do that, you gotta be good. Very few remained to tell of the tragedy on Jan 23, during the Colmar pocket fighting.

The first American tank booked to follow, broke the bridge—and there was Item company, alone at the mercy of the Germans. “We left many captured, killed or wounded,” Sgt. Clarence Cychasy, Stevens Point, Wis. “I came out, making four miles in 18 hours, on a wounded foot.” “We left some men, with their feet blown off, on March 16, when we moved onto the wrong hill—into the Schu mines,” said Lt. Gerald McHuron, Los Angeles, now company commander. “So, I'll remember March 16." “Anzio was the toughest,” interrupted Lt. Earl Diehl, Pittsburgh, Pa., and Sgt. White added: “When you lay day and

night with Jerry-counting your fillings, and shooting —Oh, bey.’

This is the second of five articles giving sound advice to GY wives faced with readjust-

ONE THING that is already known about servicemen is that many of them do not want or expect to go back to their old jobs ‘when they return to civilian life—or even, perhaps, W go on living in the old home town. That is easily understandable. They have seen many places now and Podunk may not seem to be the center of the universe as it did before a great deal more of the world.

A

“8 # AS FOR the old job, the boy who worked in a filling station or was never very successful as a salesman and whosé job in the war was flying a bomber or working as a member of a ground crew very likely has decided the old job back home isn't challenging enough to hold his in-

terest or to make the best use of his newly discovered capabilities.

And men who ‘have learned that they can handle other men and assume the kind of responsibility that calls for quick thinking and fast decisions aren't likely to want to go back, and sit at a desk doing a routine job that gives them no chance to use their own initiative,

Natural as this situation is, it can be hard on wives—if they are bound™and determined to go on living in the same house in the same town, or if they are impatient for their husbands to take the first job offered them because it looks like security for the family.

" » » DR. WILBUR R. MILLER— Head of psychiatry in the department of medicine at the University of Iowa and a director of the State's Psychopathic hospital— believes that the service wife's reaction to this problem is -extremely important.

He points out that the wife whe was a “good sport” during the emergency of war and who from necessity put security out of her mind “while she trailed her hus-. band from one army camp to another may feel that when- her man is finally home the most important thing in the world is for him to get a job in a hurry and settle down to getting ahead and making up for lost time.

In tbis attitude she is likely to be mistakenly backed up by her parents who may see a threat to her security in her husband’s not being able to make up his mind right away just what he wants to do, or in his wanting to pull up stakes and try something entirely new.
