Presently, he found himself with his unit, aboard a transport. He said he hoped the ship was bound for India, because he wanted to be in a country full of Indians.

Pvt. Oneskunk was sitting in a tree, right oer their heads. Just to prove it was no accident, he went awav several more times, and returned, as soundless as a shadow, until he was close enough to touch he crept up beside one of his mates and whisked away the soldiers rifle.

McClure, navigator of one of the American planes that bombed Tokyo last April, disclosed Sunday that volunteers for the special mission led by Maj.

Gen. James H. (Jimmy) Doolittle, rehearsed for weeks in Florida. Addressing members of the army air forces radio technicians school Lieut. McClure said the approach to Tokyo was so low the fliers could distinguish faces of the Japanese below, some of whom waved, not knowing the identity of the planes.

Upper surfaces of the American bombers were camouflaged, which prevented detection by Jap planes. Chinese coolies fished Lieut. McClure, 26-year-old son of a St. Louis advertising executive, and his crew from the water after fog caused them to crash into the sea. Both shoulders broken, the flier was carried on a litter four days before reaching a doctor.

Then, more travel by rickshaw, station wagon, bus, automobile and train before he was loaded aboard an American transport plane for the 18,500 mile flight to YVashington. While recuperating in Walter Reed hospital there, Lieut. McClure fell in love with his nurse. Miss Betty Jean Buchanan, an occupational therapy technician. They are to be married Saturday in Appleton, YVis.

Sampson P. Oneskunk was a man of few words. He seldom said anything but ugh, which meant yes. no, or maybe, or anything he W'anted it to mean.

He seldom specified. This was not the only thing, however, that won him the attention of British commando experts who werp assisting in training Pvt. Oneskunk and other American soldiers in a unit of Rangers, the American equivalent of the Commandos. There was his name, for instance. American officers explained that Pvt.

Oneskunk is a full-blooded Sioux Indian, from Cherry Creek, S. and that out in his part of the country, the Oneskunk family is very well known, indeed. Is Tall 150-Pounder His appearance was a little unusual, too. lie stood 6-feet-2, minus his moccasins, but he weighed only 150 pounds. This is very important, because stealth and concealment are parts of a Rangers stock-in-trade.

They work under cover, creeping right up to the enemys whiskers. They strike in the darkness, and then they are gone. Came a day when the Rangers went into some heavily-wooded country, on maneuvers. It was an exercise in woodsmanship. and particularly in travelling through underbrush without making any noise.

A British officer thought Pvt. Oneskunk wasnt paying much attention. YYell, you see, sir, the Ameri-I can officer replied, "this is just YVASHINGTON (A) Health of American troops in North Africa is excellent, Maj. Gen. James C.

Magee said today, despite the prevalence of almost every disease you can think of among the native population there. The army surgeon general, just back from a flying inspection trip to North Africa, England, West Africa, and South America, said the sick rate is little more than 1 per cent, though the troops have been through the worst rainy season North Africa has had iq years. Magee told a press conference that malaria and venereal diseases were the main medical problems of the army overseas. The preventive methods adopted by medical officers have been almost completely successful, against malaria, he said, but venereal diseases cause more trouble because some parts of the world just refuse to regard venereal diseases as a problem. Typhus is a constant threat, Magee' said, although there has been none as yet among the American troops.

North Africa is not a well sanitated place, he said. For instance, within one small, walled native toown we found plague, leprosy, smallpox, typhoid, typhus, two or three kinds of dysentery and just about all the skin diseases known. Magee said the use of blood plasma for transfusion and of the sulpha drugs for prevention and treatment of infection undoubtedly would result in a much higher rate of recovery from wounds in this war than was true of the first YYorld war.

The point is that in order to uproot and drive the Mikado's forces from the continent into the sea it will be necessary to recapture Burma and use that back door to China to equip Chiang Kai-shek's armies. India will be at once the arsenal and strategic jumping off place for this grand finale. Thus it is good to receive authoritative assurances such as have been given me that India's security as a base is insured. They tell me that it is being held safe, both as regards internal and external threats, unto the day when the Allied high command is ready to dal finally with shotgun militarism. Qualified quarters assure me that authorities have the internal situation seeurely in hand after 6 months of political disturbances since the breakdown of negotia- Pvt.

IARDLY ANYTHINC could cripple the war effort faster than breaking our nations health. the thorough process of modern dry cleaning destroys all of the common disease bacteria. If we never knew it before, we are learning now that dry cleaning is a hygienic agent that should be used frequently to prevent the spread of diseases. 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 4i 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 4 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 II 1.

Pacific Soldier Wants Madison Cold Weather I EITHER your, government nor your dry cleaner asks you to buy less dry cleaning. All you are asked to do is to buy far enough in advance to avoid seasonal peaks, and to buy regularly. The war has also added other new reasons for frequent dry cleaning.

Dry cleaning prevents moth damage to your woolens and other scarce fabrics. Dry cleaning prolongs the life of your wardrobe. Dry cleaning bolsters morale. Wisconsin Cadet His Instructor Killed Over 16,000 medical men have been called into war service. Over 15,000 trained nurses have been taken from the home front.

Over two millions of Red Cross nurses aides are now devoting their effort to safeguarding our physical security. Scientists have crowded into a few short months nearly a quarter centurys development in nutrition and medical is and their apparent confidence is reassuring. Still, even though things may indeed be well in hand, I am bound to say that the position would be much happier if the political differences were eliminated. This is a crucial moment when good will and unity of effort are essential and those things are lacking among various parties to the controversy. In that sense India cannot be the same effective military base which it would be were political difficulties solved.

Just when India will be called upon for its supreme war effort is perhaps something which even the Allied high command cannot predict with certainty right now. Of course, operations are being conducted continually against the Japs in Burma and neighboring territory but it wouldn't be surprising if a grand offensive were not staged until Hitler has been knocked out. China Is Reconciled Our Oriental Allies apparently are becoming reconciled to this viewpoint although disagreeing with the policy of making defeat of the Axis in Europe the initial objective. Anyway, I find they do understand the military reasoning which designed Hitler as enemy No. 1, and the recent Allied successes in Russia and Libya have made this reasoning much more acceptable in the Orient.

It is now becoming apparent in this part of the world that re-establishment of Allied control over the Rlediterranean will be of incalculable assistance to the final campaign against Japan. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that an all-out drive against the mikado does not come until next fall. Will China be able to hold out until then? I believe so, barring some wholly unexpected development in the meantime. Fighting at Standstill It should be borne in mind that actually there has been little warfare on a big scale in China for a long time. Things have been largely at a standstill.

Even if the Japanese should undertake some new offensive and theres no present indication of anything big the Chinese have lots of space to swap for time. Quite apart from that the Chinese are a gallant race and have fully demonstrated that they intend to fight the war to complete victory. Naturally, the longer the Allies are compelled to delay the final assault on Japan the more difficult it may be to conquer the barbarians of the Rising Sun. Do not store soiled garments in your closets. As little as one soiled garment in your closet is like keeping a saboteur in hiding, for a soiled garment can be a menace to health.

It invites moth ruin. It tends to shorten the life of your wardrobe. It demotes morale. It may cause production and delivery difficulties that will cause a shortage of spring dry cleaning service. CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.

(P) Cadet John Richard Frankie, 26, of High Bridge, and his instructor, were killed Saturday when their training plane crashed 8 miles south of here. The men were on a routine training flight. These wartime purposes should change your motives for buying dry cleaning. They should also change your buying habits. If you bought dry cleaning in the past merely as a preparation for pleasure, temper your buying today with seriousness.

Help to keep the benefits of dry cleaning available to you without interruption. Yet this enormous crusade is not enough. Every person must lend individual support. Protecting the nations health starts with guarding your own. and your familys health.
