The navy has operated 33 refineries and three pipelines since Oct. 4 when the companies were closed by a strike of the International Oil Workers union (C. 1. O.).

Europe. The ground forces showed off their 105 m and their eight-inch self-propelled guns. / Tank transports, better known as “dragon wagons,” rumbled along, flanked by hundreds of eager jeeps. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, chief of the army's ground forces and one of America’s top tank experts, was on hand—standing at 82d st. and Fifth ave.—to take the salute. But the paradoughs weren't really marching for any general today.
{They didn't press their tunics and

Hoosier Remembers Men like Pfc, Joseph R. Giampa, 23, of Brooklyn, remember how it was over there, They'll never forget. Giampa was with the 501st parachute infantry regiment of the 101st division at Bastogne. A German “screaming meemie” hit the building which sheltered Giampa. “I remember them saying, ‘Hell, h¢'s got a cancussion’” Giampa said. “I remember everything looked double, and I told myself, ‘Joe, you'll never get home.'” Pfc. George M. Bruce of New Castle, Ind, rode a 17th airborne division glider when it crossed the Rhine. The plane smashed into a fence trying to land.

I mean, it was funny until I looked up and saw-that other guys were dying.” Inte Regular Army The 83d division will be taken into the regular army. They were going to put it on the shelf, along with many others, but its soldiers begged that it be allowed to remain alive so the army will let it stay. There were newspaper reports that some of the sky soldiers, particularly in the 13th airborne, were bitter about being forced to march in the victory parade. First Lt. ‘John D, Spalding, 23, of Pawtucket, R. I, who went to Europe with the 13th airborne but who never got to make a combat jump, said, “I" don't think that's true of the majority of us.” Spalding sald 13th airborne troopers realized they were being used “fliers.” “But we're proud to be here” he said, “to represent those Joes .in the 83d who never got back to march.”

public. Another company that makes these impish gadgets is plugging for them. A. T. & T. feels that public telephone service was built on the impermanence of telephonic conversation. Keith McHugh, a vice president of the firm, told FCC that “the public wants conversations on the telephone to be as nearly like face-to-face conversations as possible, and no more susceptible to recording.” Mr, McHugh continues that “anything which would shake his confidence in the privacy of his calls would so change the character of telephonic service as seriously to impair its usefulness and value” That's a Mouthful Mr. McHugh said a mouthful. Living is tough now, what with radar and phones built into automobiles and electric blankets and vitamin pills and television without invading that last domain of privacy, the unrecorded chat on the phone.

Gone will’ be those casual lies to the boss and the wife and the inlaws, because a liar's memory is short and there's always a chance of having last month's fib fired back in your face.

More Serious Situation Former chief of staff, Gen. George C. Marshall, last September gave house and senate members a detailed picture of demobilization schedules following complaints thas the army system was unfair and inequitable, : He spoke for only 88 minutes and congressional complaints subsided almost immediately. Gen. Eisenhower, however, faces a more serious situation. He must account for the global demonstrations by thousands of G. 1's who have demanded to know why they are being kept in service, American troops in China addea their voices to the world-wide protests with a demand that the U. 8. army stop what they ealled its policy of “lend-leasing” them to the Chinese government. ‘No Moral Right’ More than 400 soldiers, meeting {in the Shanghai Y. M. C. A, addressed a letter to Secretary of War | Robert P. Patterson claiming that {unnecessarily large numbers of | American troops were being kept in } China. | The protest letter asserted that joy a negligible number of Amerjcan soldiers were being used for |repatriation of Japanese.
