" GEN. -STILWELL invaded North

Burma with the Chinese 38th and 22d divisions he trained at} Ramgarh, India. He made his famous proclamation at Imphal on May 21, 1942: “We took a helluva beating. It was humiliating as hell. We ought to find out why it happened and go back.” The doughty general couldn't get the ammunition to the men, so he took the men to the ammunition, ‘The 38th and 22d were flown to Ramgarh and, when equipped and ready, flown back into action again. . » » ‘GEN. STILWELL and his men annihilated one of the crack outfits of the Jap army, the 18th division, conquerors of Singapore. The Stilwell- campaign culminated in the capture of Myitkyin, which opened a shorter air route over the hump of the Himalayas. In this campaign, the “left-hook-ers,” as Gen. Sultan calls them— storm troops who spearheaded the way—were Maj. Gen. Frank Merrill’s illustrious Marauders. They were volunteers from the Southwest Pacific and Panama, the first U. 8. ground troops used on the Asiatic continent. t J . » * GEN. STILWELL was recalled at the demand of Chiang Kakshek because he was more concerned about fighting Japs than Chinese Communists. -. The G. 1's recall his last words “upon being recalled from his China-Burma-India command: “I wasn't perfect out here, but, damn it, I never sold America short.” This story is G. I. gospel. | With Gen. Stilwell in command, G. 1's assure you the Chines¢ effort would be intensified. 2 » » »

DISABLED GOOD AS AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., July 5 (U. P.) —Veterafis with artificial limbs will probably excel physically normal individuals as automobile drivers, is the prediction of Amos Neyhart, administrative head of the Institute of Public Safety at Pennsylvania State| college,

“Amputees,” ancording to the| Penn State expert, “will recognize their difficulties and be more fully aware of their limitations. They | will be cautious—not cocky—drivers.” fo

Neyhart, who served as consul tant for the amputee driver training course which the American Automobile association introduced {at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, regards learning to drive as “an excellent way to recondition amputees.” “Being able to operate a car,” he said, “re-establishes their sel-| confidence, They realize they can| get out, go places, and do HINES just like other people.” The AAA consultant pointed out that veterans who have lost both an arm and a leg, two arms, or two legs, can become “very successfull Moreover, he says, they| can learn to drive without benefit | of any special gadgets.
