MY MEN THOUGHT | WAS A HEEL'—
| ‘It Paid Off—But It's
By JIM LUCAS, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer ; TOKYO, Oct. 28—The lieutenant was having his first drink in a long time. He couldn't remember when he had the last one. It made him talkative. He said he didn’t want to talk about war or Korea. But since dinner, he hadn't talked about much else. “It’s not easy to be a heel,” he said, “particularly when your nature is to be a ‘good Joe’.” He stretched out to favor a bad leg. then went on: “My men thought I was a heel. They were right. I used to break 'em out, and make 'em do four miles double-time every morning before roll call. I made ’em run uphill and downhill with

I don’t say we fought like professionals. I had recruits. We took heavy losses and that doesn’t add up to good soldiering. But I am prefty sure the only reason they weren't higher was the fact I made myself be a heel’ He sipped his drink, then continued: _ “It’s a wonder I wasn’t court-martialed. I used to take my boys out on the range and let the best sharp shooters put hot lead right over their heads.

They'd learned how to operaté under fire.” The lieutenant grimaced as he shifted his leg. again. “I was a heel. Everybody hated me but my first sergeant.

Don't you know the lieutenant is trying to teach you something you need to learn?’ ” A few minutes later he got up to leave, “I'm going out to the hospital to see my sergeant,” he explained. “The Reds got him at Taejon. But I heard yesterday he had been liberated around Pyongyang and moved here, “So, I got leave to come up. I saw him a few minutes this afternoon. I am not an emotional cuss. But it got me. He looked like something out of Buchenwald—a skeleton with two eyes. “But, damn it, the guy is loyal.” It takes guts to be loyal to an unpopular heel. It’s so much easier to side with the majority and be everybody's friend. “The way I see it, that’s the trouble with this mans Army. Too many ‘good Joes.'’
