Kay Finds Marshall Courteous But Aloof, Churchill Buoyant

THAT NIGHT marked the
a sure thing. It soon was evident, however, that the only female guests would be those capable of super-steno-graphic work, I wasn't invited to the biggest party in Africa. Still more disturbing news — that Dick had been transferred up to II Corps and possible frontfine action—was partially offset by a blessed gift from the limitless store of Eisenhower thoughtfulness. When he heard Dick was coming to Algiers on brief corps duty, the general called me in. “Kay,” he said, “I understand Dick’s coming to town?” I nodded. “Well,” he continued, “you two can't talk or have much privacy up there at the billet with other women hanging around.” He smiled. “When Dick frives, tell him I want him to stay at my villa, as my personal guest, as long as he's here.” » ” » “THANKS” is such a tiny, clumsy word for a man who can take time from directing an historic army to realize that his driver and her boy friend would appreciate solitude. Both Dick and I tried to emphasize our appreciation, but the general only countered by tossing a special dinner for us one night; Butch, Ethel, and a few other friends added to the festive spirit, despite another air raid which reminded me, soberly, Dick was going back to the real war. Shortly after the Casablanca conference and its iron demand for unconditional surrender by the Axis, we were invaded by an army of V-I-P's who wanted to visit the:general and Allied headquarters before returning to their respective homes. | Unfortunately, Mr. Churchill failed to appear, although sched-

"Well, Kay, thought I'd find you here.

Five days later, Gen. Ike received his fourth star. Ike gave vent to his own enjoyment in the promotion that evening when a number of us— including the five WACs—joined
