Three Tilts Silver Star9 Purple Heart Given To Pfe. Roy A. Kent At Ceremony

By SGT. CHARLES KOPP

Pfc. Roy A. Ken t of Thomaston. Ga., is very modest about the role he played on the second, day of the famous Batt le of Bloody Ridge, when, with an in jured hand and a n empty cartr idge belt, he continued to eliminate J a p a -nese a t tackers with grenades and the bayonet and butt of his rifle.

If the Marine Corps hadn ' t pre-sented him Sa turday with a per-manen t Silver Star medal citation, for conspicuous gallantry, and the Order of the Purple Heart , for wounds, the story might have been known only to a few of his com-rades. And not manv of them are left .

Two other men in his squad and nine men in his platoon sur-vived th is th ree-day struggle a t Guadalcanal , he said.

Kent ' s outf i t was moving to-ward the f r o n t to reinforce Mar-ine Raiders and paratroops against a determined Japanese offensive. SHOT IN HAND

Early in the day, he h a d been shot in the lef t hand , but he con-tinued to throw grenades until completely exhausted and removed f rom action. Now he was back and ready to go. According to him, th is is where the story be-gins.-

At 9 P. M. on Sept. 14. 1942, Kent began making his automatic rifle t-alk. I t was t ha t way until there were so many Japs a f t e r h im tha t he didn't have enough ammuni t ion to accommodate them all.

He d i d n t know what to do. so he kept spit t ing lead. I t r a n out before the Japs did.

"The Japs along the line ap -parent ly knew my piece was out of business." Kent related. Each one who headed for me the rest of t he night was bent on using his bayonet. They were probably short on bullets, too. and they cer-tainly were aware t ha t they had us 'way outnumbered. GRABS DEAD BUDDY'S RIFLE

M^HTING

(COLONEL HITA'KV EY L. MILLER#

"AT SOME DISPUTED BARRICADE"

Tens of thousands of fine young Americans have already met he-roes' deaths in this war. The fig-ures hur t . But it is ha rd to feel the real poignancy of grief for thousands if they are personally unknown. Real grief comes for those you have known and those they have lef t behind.

"The next of kin have been no-tified." So runs the phrase of the war's official bookkeepers. Only when this oft-used announcement sheds anonymity and speaks in terms of lives we knew and of other lives t ha t must bear t he burden of the loss, do the cold official words convey their full tragic meaning. We are so con-structed as h u m a n beings — and lucky for us t ha t we are—that war's colossal destruction does not strike us with its full meaning unti l one of our own fr iends or relatives has rendered " tha t last lull measure of devotion."

I t seems only yesterday t ha t he toddled around his Christmas tree in bright blue rompers, elated over a pair of pink velvet boxing gloves. Pudgy glove-encased hands held aloft. "Me fight . Me Dack Demp-sey. Me Dack Dempsey." Only yes-terday.

Time moves on. We grow older and d o . not appreciate how t ime flies. The children of yesterday are the heroes of today. Some of them, the pity of i t all, dead heroes.

The little fellow who said "Me Dack Dempsey" became an aver-age school boy. Newspaper route on the side In the early mornings and all t ha t sort of thing. Boy Scout camps in the Summer. Looked like the makings of a f ine athlete. High school football, base-ball and boxing s tar ; a crack shot on a rifle team. All set for a scholarship at a university, and almost a sure bet for the college baseball, football and boxing teams. He still idolized Jack Dempsey; his prize keepsake a photograph of the old Manassa Mauler, auto-graphed, "To Johnny. Keep punch-ing. Your fr iend. Jack Demp-sey."

Well, Jack, he kept punching. He went out punching.

Beside your photo, Jack, in the den t h a t was his, is f ramed his picture in a t in h a t and combat equipment, a big smile, f ine clear eyes, head back and square chin.

The last time I looked a t the picture his mother had just shown me the message from Washington. The next of kin had been duly notified.

On a tiny coral island, not worth ft dime as real estate, thousands of miles f rom home, Johnny of the pink velvet boxing gloves fought unti l he died.

Commandant Praises Cpl. Roesinger's Act

By SGT. S. P. P E T R O F F I n a n impressively simple cere-

mony, a letter of commendation f rom the Commandan t of the Marine Corps was presented to Cpl. Robert D. Roesinger, USMC, Engineer Battalion, T. C. Orig inally scheduled as a battal ion pa -rade, t he presentat ion was made in the Th i rd Area thea ter due to inclement weather. The entire personnel of the Engineer Bat-talion was present as Major A. D. Gorham, its commanding officer, made the presentation.

Cpl. Roesinger was in charge of a section of Demolitions s tu-dents on 9 December, 1943, their instructor. While the section was engaged in throwing hand grenades a t a pillbox, an undet -onated grenade was blown back 90 feet into the advancing sec-tion. Pvt. Daniel Behan, a mem-ber of the section, was engaged

preparing his grenade when the grenade landed near him. He turned to -run, but his own gren ade, which he was still holding, exploded af ter he had run a short distance, severely injur ing him. Cpl. Roesinger ( then PFC) imme-diately took charge of the in-jured man, applied pressure to the man's neck and a i m to pre-vent fu r the r bleeding, and ma in -tained this pressure and took care of the man unti l medical aid a r -rived. The at tending physicians s tated t ha t his quick and intelli-gent action saved Behan 's life. LETTER CITES

The letter of commendation read, in par t : "The coolness with which you took over this difficult situation has earned the confi-dence and admirat ion of all the officers and men in the organiza-tion. Your exemplary conduct was in keeping with *he highest t ra -ditions of the United States Ma-rine Corps."

After the presentation, Major Gorham addressed the" assembled Battalion briefly concerning the history and present development of the Marine Engineers. and tressed their mission in combat.

He traced the growth of the En-gineers f rom four officers and 67 enlisted men just before the war to their present day status, with full Engineer regiments and com-panies engaged in the very f ront of every Marine operation. He told the men of the difficulty of the Engineers' mission, the long hours, the tough character and the constant danger of their work, and the necessity for con-s t an t vigilance and discipline, both of the individual and of the unit, necessary to accomplish the dis-armingly simple s ta tement of the Engineers' mission, "To fu r the r

ad-

the forward progress of troops, and to prevent the vance of ' the enemy."

The Commanding Officer 's dress was followed by a showing of t he motion picture "Heroic Stalingrad—the City T h a t Stopped Hitler". PROGRAM EXPANDED

The t ra in ing program of the Battal ion is now bemg expanded to accommodate an ever increas-ing flow of new men through its schools and basic t raining courses. Full details of the scope of the program will be available in the near fu ture . At present, two new training company areas have al-ready been initiated, and plans for their completion are being rushed. A complete survey of Camp Stock-ade and adjoining areas is being made, to serve as a permanent record of existing work, and ; basis for fu ture development.

Wi th so much technical work in view for t he organization, social activities of the Battalion have been practically non-existent for several weeks. Recreational pro-grams centered around the soft-ball league, and the rapidly de-veloping Battal ion baseball team are continuing.

The ent i re Battalion extends congratulations to Sgt. Major and Mrs. Charles J . Fender . Mrs. Fen -der (PFC, MCWR) is the former Mar tha Yonker, member of the Special Staff of t he Photoli thog-raphy School. The couple were married on their recent furlough.

Col. W o o d s Gives R a d i o Talk I n N e w Bern

Col. S. A. Woods Jr. , command-ing officer of Camp Lejeune, Fr i -day n ight represented this base on the second anniversary program of Radio Stat ion WHIT in New Bern.

In his broadcast speech he ex-pressed appreciation to the station for the services it rendered dur -ing the past year by broadcasting Camp Lejeune football games and radio shows.

He also praised the people of New Bern for many courtesies which they have extended to Mar-ines visiting and living in t ha t city.

As you know, Headquarters Ba t -talion has decided t ha t the best way to welcome May would be to hold a lively dance . . . so taking a leaf f rom our English Allies who stage coronations for their kings, it was decided by some of our more "fashion-minded" men t ha t an actual coronation ceremony would lend internat ional color to our a f fa i r . . . You are going to elect a May Queen and a May King . . . ballots will be distributed a few days before the dance . . it will be a secret ballot. At 10 P. M. the dance will be halted momentari ly and the new May Queen and May King will be pre-sented . . . The queen will wear a long, flowing white robe (fashion note) t r immed with blossoming carnat ions (Dixie-grown) . . . Kin-ston, I think, a t this time the chosen two will be crowned by the master of "ceremonies. I t Is rumored t ha t the royal couple will have a court of honor . . We'll see you at the coronation.

NEW 'TOP'

Thumbnai l Sketch: Wayne W Reese, our new first Sergeant (Hq Co.) . . . joined the Marine Corps in early Fall. 1939. After "com-pleting boot camp at San Diego he was selected for sea school. Immediately af ter f inishing sea school he shipped aboard the bat-tlewagon Tennessee where he ser-ved as a gun-pointer for two years. Just a f ter the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, Reese was assigned to the Marine Barracks, there. Fresh f rom three years in Hawaii, he arrived back in the States in Dec ember 1943. Following a well earned furlough he came to Camp Lejeune where he stood by in Firs t Casual until he got his pre-sent assignment. Our new "Top" hails f rom Eldora, Iowa. He wears the Asiatic-Pacific and American Defense bars.

The bat tal ion baseball team has a top-ra te bat tery combination in George St. Aubin, who won 13 and lost six last season here, and catcher Johnny Lenz, property of the Boston Red Sox.

PAGE FOUR CAMP LEJEUNE GLOBE

Spring House-Cleaning On the agenda this Spring is house-clean-

ing in the Pacific. The Japs, who pride themselves on being "fiery little supermen," are discovering, apparently to their surprise, tha t they have got themselves into a real war. The evidence seems to indicate that they are getting licked in nearly every f ight on every front.

There is still a great deal of fighting to be done, and doubtless it will be bloody business when they are herded back to Honshu and penned up in Tokyo Bay by a,n American fleet, raining destruction on their capital. But they are having a foretaste of the ordeal in the scattered Pacific islands, from which they are being swept by Marines doing their Spring house-cleaning, and in the harbors where scores of thousands of them are blockaded under a relentless hail of bombs and shells.

They have yet to realize that their sav-age and haughty nation has committed hari-kari. But the time when they will is fast approaching.

Worth Standing For At last Sunday's presentation of "Gizmo

Frolics" the all-Marine show presented in the Camp Theater was the comment, "It was well worth standing in line for." The Globe certainly endorses that statement and wants to commend the persons responsible for the success of the first real effort made by Le-jeune Marines to entertain themselves.

"Gizmo Frolics" was well produced, well paced, and it indicated that we are not all a loss for talent on this base. In short, it was real entertainment. We shall go even a step further, with the opinion that it was better than any show we have yet seen at Lejeune, professional or otherwise.

Nazi Secret Weapon Everything else having failed, Adolf Hit-

ler now is about to freeze the Allies into submission, at least that's the warning given out by the Berlin radio, as heard by the London Daily Telegraph.

The newspaper the other day pulled the wraps on what it termed Der Fuehrer's "newest secret weapon" and warned the United Nations just what they have to face.

This newest weapon, it seems, is a "pro-jectile containing a new super-freeze chem-ical killing everything within a 500-yard radius."

Then the Berlin announcer went a step further.

"It has already been used in the English Channel and the North Sea," he confided.

Know what it did there? "It created large icebergs." Seems to us that Herr Schicklgruber bet-

ter dream up a better secret weapon than that one to stop the coming Allied invasion of Europe. It will take more than icebergs and Nazis to stop our forces . . . and the only thing that's going to be frozen is Adolf's assets.

What Others "Forgotten Man99

The Marine Corps infantryman is the "Forgotten Man" of the na-tion's fighting force—"forgotten," that is, by his fellow fighting men, for it is unlikely that the enemy ever will forget him.

In his own outfit, the Marine in-fantryman is just a man in a uni-form—a proud uniform, to be sure —but it's just another uniform when you stack it up beside others in the Marine Corps and in the other armed services.

For the Marine Corps has chos-en to permit the wearing of color-ful shoulder insignia by the two more glamorous branches of the Corps, the air force and me men who fight on ships at sea, while it has taken no step to allow the infantryman, who certainly has as much right as any other Marine to be proud of the branch of the service to which he belongs, to wear anything in the way of shoulder adornment.

To some, it may seem that the air corps and the sea fighters are allowed to wear shoulder insignia because their branches of the ser-vice are the more dangerous.

But this is only an opinion. The facts are that in today's

war, the infantry suffers not only a heavier , percentage of casualties, but casualties actually greater in number than does any other branch of the service—and this despite the fact that the infantry, according to The New York Times, is now only the third largest branch of the armed forces, yielding places to the air forces and the services of supply.

The Marine infantryman would do nothing whatsoever to take from the Marine aviator and his ground crewmen all the glory they have won in this war, nor would he for a single minute belittle the present and the traditional glory of the sea-going Marine. And to this end, the Marine infantryman would, no doubt, endorse with enthusiasm the shoulder patches authorized for both services.

But the Marine infantryman would like to be recognized not only as a Marine, but as what he is, an infantryman, because he has reason to be proud of the feats of his branch of the service, whose record daily grows brighter in the South Pacific.

The record shows that if the in-fantry is lacking in some of the glamour of the Air Corps and the Sea Service, it is not lacking in danger, and to those who say the air and sea arms are the more" " dangerous, the infantryman may well retort:

"Go tell that to the Marines." —PARRIS ISLAND BOOT.

Chaplain's Corner FINDING RELIGION

Since the beginning of American participation in the War there have emerged dozens of stories of the heroism and the courage, the spirit and the strength which is char-acteristic of our American tradition. Part and parcel of many of these stories is the recounting of how, in dire danger, men suddenly felt the call to religion and were consequently helped in "their peril through this instan-taneously acquired faith. This finding of religion in times of stress has been axiomized by the brief line: "There are no atheists in fox-holes." **- ,. )

Many of us as a result of these stories and this o f t -repeated axiom have become content to accept religion in crises; are satisfied to have it reach us in the various fox-holes of catastrophe which war offers. Religion^'we have come to feel, will be our ace in the hole which wiH'permit us to play the game out. It doesn't work that way.

The full effect of faith cannot be felt if faith is taken in time of pain only—like a shot in the arih. If religion is ever to become, under any circumstances, a sojirce of. strength and life, it must be nurtured and cultivated in natures througho >jtthe years. Just as the muscles our bodies cannot be | & e strong in the moment we neg# them most, so all through our lives the sinews of strength must be developed for the moment need for them. • Say Editorially... It's A Bargain • "We don't want anyone to over-

load, but you all should take out $10,000 National Service Life In-surance policies"—is one thing to the sleepy, drilled-out recruit hear-ing about it for the first time and quite another to men just returned from battle zones.

Take the cases of hundreds of men tripping over one another to find the insurance officer after re-turning from one or two combat engagements. Thousands of Bataan veterans didn't even wait to get back. They radioed in.

For the benefit of those easily frightened by the complexities of insurance—afraid that the big print will give them everything in the book, then the small print will take it away—here is some lowclown on NSI.

It provides insurance of $1000 to $10,000 to all service men and wom-en at an unchanging monthly cost per $1000 of from 64 cents (at age 18) to 99 cents (at age 45) under the Five-Year Level Premium Term plan.

That's all there is to it, Mac, so discount all the scuttlebutt about how much more or less is being taken out of this or that fellow's

check for the same amount of in- i surance.

At this low cost you get just fi plain insurance. The policy has no:£ cash value. This ain't_ no sweep-stakes ticket. They come higher. A

To answer the $64 question — ~ "What happens to my insurance when the war is oyer?"—it's good h for five years, no matter whether „ the war ends tomorrow, provided g that you keep your premiums paid -up.

Yes, Mac, the government will , pay your premiums, if you become | totally disabled, but you must make " application.

To you unfortunates about to -get medical or bad conduct dis-charges, your insurance is also good for five years. The line is drawn f at those guilty of mutiny, treason,-spying or desertion. 1

Marine Routs Out Jap; Escapes His Sword Swings

WITH MARINE FORCES ON ENIWETOK ISLAND.—The J a p a -nese officer took four lusty swings with his two-handed sword.

The Bronx, New York, Marine had fired once, then ducked. He now has two deep notches in his carbine rifle, one bruised shoulder and one scratch on his back.

The Japanese swordsman is dead. The Bronx Marine is eighteen-

year-old Pfc. Michael R. Morra. Boyish appearing and modest,

young Morra grinned as he told how he was ordered up to dislodge a J a p holed up in the roots of a coconut tree. One Marine already had died in a fut i le ef for t to dis-lodge him. ^

Morra crept up and tossed a gren-ade into the Jap 's hiding place. The smoke hadn ' t cleared when the J a p stormed out, his sword swinging.

Morra fired once, t hen threw up his rifle to ward off the sword blows. One blow gouged a notch

Buddy Johnson's Band Makes Hit At Montford Point

Buddy Johnson, t he great or-ches t ra leader, sensational fo r his recording of popular tunes, with vocalists Ella Johnson and Joe Medlin appeared at Montford The-ater Wednesday evening, April 19.

Buddy's band was in the groove, and really 'sent ' hot and sweet music lovers. "Baby, Don' t You Cry," a Buddy Johnson original, ra ted tops with the Marine audi-ence.

Ella Johnson and Joe Medlin provided rich vocals — vocals t h a t have helped to skyrocket the band's Decca recordings.

This new, well-balanced orches-t r a fea tured Buddy's "Let's Stop Pretending," "Please, Mr. Johnson, ' ' I ' l l Always Be I n Love Wi th You," "I Ain't Mad At You," among others.

Purple Heart Awarded To Pfc. Picini

The Japanese seemed to have a personal grudge against Pfc . Charles V. Picini of Nor th Tona -wanda, N. Y., 24-year-old ve t -eran of Brig. Gen. Merri t t Ed-son's famous Marine Raiders.

He has some evidence of i t in the Purple Hear t medal present -ed to h im Saturday, and more in the story of his experiences.

The Japs h a d n ' t m a d e life any too comfortable for h im a t Tulagi and Guadalcanal — but the New Georgia campaign was t he pay-off.

I t was the July 20, 1943, phase of the Bat t le of Bairoka Harbor there. Picini was lying low d u r -ing a terr if ic mor ta r barrage.

If this had been all he h a d had to gird against, there might not have been a decoration for h im Saturday: But it wasn't .

There was one more angle, a n unforeseen J a p sniper who risked swallowing one of his buddies* mortars to get a crack a t the Marines.

The next thing Picini knew, his le f t leg h a d stopped something, which, he is sure, didn ' t emanate f rom a mor tar .

Soon a f t e r he was shot by the sniping r if leman, he was being evacuated on a patrol bomber. Immediately following the take-off, Japanese f ighters s t rafed the plane, punctur ing a fuel t ank . Picini re turned.

Three days later, he lef t New Georgia by destroyer, and he h a s seen no more of t he enemy.

He holds t h e Purple Hear t , however, in recognition of the wound suffered a t J a p hands. The award was pinned on him by his commanding officer, Lt. Col. J o h n W. Lasko, before a large assem-blage of Marines in the Guard Battal ion.

Pfc. Picini joined the Marine Corps in January, 1942. He wears the Presidential - citation bar awarded members of the 1st M a -rine Division, and the Asiat ic-Pa-cific and American Thea te r r ib-bons. He is the son of Guy P ic in i an Army World War veteran of North Tonawanda.

13th ANTIAIRCRAFT

Designation Of 13th Bn. Is Changed By W.O. ALLAN R. FREEMAN The designation of the 13th De-

fense Battalion was changed on 15 April, 1944, to 13th Antiaircraf t Battalion. This change of desig-nat ion of course necessitated a radical reorganization in the groups composing the battalion.

The reaction of the men to th i s change in designation was favorable. The vague opinion ex-pressed was tha t they would get around ' a little more than as a defense battalion, and tha t they would be closer to the scene of actual combat in tha t they would no t be in the f irst wave but very close behind it.

JOIN FROM 2ND MARINE DIVISION

Many new faces and insignia appeared in the battalion build-ings this week. Ten officers, headed by Maj. John D. Mattox, and 264 enlisted men, joined this organization from the Special Weapons Battalion of the 2nd Marine Division. The battal ion heartily welcomes them as new members of this organization.

This personnel has brought back Invaluable battle experience f rom Tulagi, Guadalcanal, and Tarawa. They also fought of t enemy planes while on board ship, and did duty for a period at New Zealand. Their Individual experiences and f a -miliarity with latest field condi-lions and sundry mat ters will un-doubtedly be taken full advantage »f by present personnel in the "bull" sessions which will be held sightly in the barracks.

These men were all given 30-day furloughs upon arrival in the United States, and they are now ready to go back on duty.

BASEBALL TEAM PREPS Headed by a large nucleus of

veterans f rom the NOB Guan ta -namo Bay championship team and supplemented by a number of new men joining this outfi t , Coach Lt. Jack Tutt le of the 113th A A Bn. expects to field a strong baseball team in the coming Camp baseball league.

During the 1943 season, this team ran wild over all opposi-tion afforded at NOB Guantanamo, which included teams from the Naval Station, Naval Air Station. Eny Hill Barracks, and A.V.-51, at tha t place. In addition, series were played with teams f rom Cnimanera, Boqueron, Gtmo. City, Sant iago ,and various sugar p lanta-tions in which the Marines of this battalion upheld their own.

Probably the most outstanding »ies played was against the Cuba

Mining Company team from Sant i -ago. cJinposed of some of Cuba's l i s t ball players. Although twice defeated in close .score contests, the Marines left this team with the respect of all players and spectators.

Among those now participating in the daily workouts are:

WR Chief Cook Left Jap Prisoi To Take Arms Against Captors\

By J. M. PURCELL Reluctant to talk about her ex-

periences because of fear for the safety of fr iends still in enemy hands, S/Sgt . Virginia Herst, lit-erally passed through the gates of a J a p prison camp to take up a rms against her captors.

Today, as chief cook in one of the Marine Corps Women's Re-serve mess halls here, her weapon is food and she is passing along knowledge in the use of tha t a 11-potent weapon to girls coming into t he cooks and bakers schools.

But back in 1939 when she f i rs t arrived in the Orient to each home economics a t Wat tana Wittaya Academy, Bangkok. Thai land, there was no war and Virginia had a job to do.

She did it admirably until short-ly a f t e r Pearl Harbor w^en the Japs swarmed over Thailand pick-ing up the young economics teach-er along with hundreds of enemy "aliens" in tha t country.

Sgt. Herst was taken with other Americans to the American lega-tion where she was held for a short time. Later she was re-moved to the J a p in te rnment camp at Bangkok.

Looking back on the t ransfer f rom the legation to the prison camp, Sgt. Herst says: "We left everything behind us. Our clothes, personal effects, money and other articles were promptly seized by the Japs."

How did she feel? "We were

S/SGT. VIRGINIA HERST

all terribly fr ightened, but I had the feeling tha t I would come out of it all r ight.

"Some Thai were more or less placed over us and we had very little to do with the J a p h im-self.

"Conditions were naturally bad but they were bearable."

As a mat ter of fact Sgt. Herst expressed part icular abhorrence when she recalled her sleeping

quarters f irst given them by , Japs.

"We found bedbugs,"-she , emphasizing the "bedbugs" \ typical feminine disgust.

Evidence of the American , spirit was seen in a story she , of an American doctor who interned with his wife and y<, daughter .

With Christmas approacl j the doctor and his wife purjx refrained from mentioning holiday because they were un; to give t he child a single gi | MERRY CHRISTMAS

Uncannily the child, despite tender years, remembered the and a few days before Christ told her parents tha t "& Claus" was coming.

Frantically the parents sollt the prisoners and af ter a cor erable "hunt" finally collect# banana, a prune, a nut, a I of candy and a tiny doll mad yarn.

Despite the Japs an Amcr child's Christmas proved to t happy one.

I n June of 1942, her release ranged, Sgt. Herst lef t for 1 tuguese East Africa where boarded the exchange ship "Gr holm," arriving in this countrj August of t ha t year.

Later she took a teaching jol the Tucson, Arizona Indian Sci finally abandoning tha t post enter the Marine Corps in A 1943.

2ND LT. ALAN SHILIN

T h e R e v o l v i n g Stage. . Hill 281 on Tulagi Island

reared its bald head over a spoon-shaped cricket field which the English governors of the Solomon Islands had used for diversion before the Japs came down, uninvited, to play with them.

On August 7, when the First Raider Battalion came through the Tulagi surf to play a little bush-baseball with the Nips, also uninvited, they ran into an impasse when they reached the field.

The enemy had converted the bath- tub shaped terrain into a for-midable strong point by digging caves and emplacements into the sides of the hills. Automatic weap-ons were set up on the high ground and commanded approaches to the field. A Nip heavy machinegun was sand-bagged and dug in on the bleak crest of Hill 281, barking a deadly play-by-play description of the matches below—which were not exactly cricket. PILE INTO ENEMY

The Raiders piled into the enemy, blasting them out of their caves, picking them off wherever they ap-peared, and destroying their em-placements—but fire f rom the Jap-anese machine-gun atop 281 was proving to be more than a nuisance.

Sergeant, now Platoon Sergeant, Wilfred Hunt, a Brooklyn boy, s tar t -ed up the hill to silence the gun. The slope was devoid of cover and the Raiders who watched him in the a t tempt consider it miraculous t h a t he made it. But when Hunt reached bouquet-tossing distance of the emplacement and it seemed tha t he must surely be cut down, a small hole presented itself and he dropped in. From there he threw—not bouquets—but two well-aimed grenades and all was quiet on Hill 281. Below, the Raiders continued bowling with TNT blocks until the cricket field was secured. RECEIVES NAVY CROSS

For his action on Hill 281, Wil-fred Hunt received The Navy Cross. He doesn't care to talk too much about it—men of his caliber rarely do. Nothing- less t han a third de-gree succeeded in extracting from him the admission tha t he had won a Silver Star—granted by the Army —for his services with the combined Raider and Army forces which were engaged in the New Georgia opera-tions. In this case. Hunt had taken his squad of Marines—who were serving as flank protection for the main body—and outmaneuvered a probing enemy force.

If enemy bullets failed to stop the plucky Hunt, Malaria— the scourge of the sun—had better re-sults. He was returned to the United States and assigned to duty with the V-12 a t Camp Lejeune where he is now instructing in weapons. To the candidates dis-assembling bolts and trigger-assem-blies under his tutelage, stories of Hunt 's heroism will probably come as news. The quiet, capable eff i-cient Platoon Sergeant concentrates on his job and doesn't talk about himself. But blowing smoke is not prerequisite to respect for Wilfred Hunt. His candidates recognize in him the kind of ace tha t makes the

Marine Corps what it is. They are learning their weapons and liking it as they learn. JOINED MARINES IN 1940

Hunt came into the Corps in 1940 almost immediately af ter grad-uation from Alexander Hamilton High School in Brooklyn. After boot camp he spent seven months a t NOB Norfolk. From there he joined the Firs t Battalion F i f th Ma-rines at Quantico and in spite of "screening" remained with the out-fi t through its transitions until it became The First Raiders.

He considers his training with Edison's Raiders to be the finest of-fered anywhere—in any unit. I t is his contention tha t no training for combat duty against the Japanese can be called complete unless it contains a great percentage of night work.

"We learned the ha rd way just how much night training pays off," Hunt says today. "The Battle of Bloody Ridge, when the whole Solo-mons Campaign was endangered, was won by the Raiders because we proved . tha t we could fight—and fight well—at night. And we fought well a t night because we had been trained to do so a t Quan-tico before we shipped out." RECALLS HOT BATTLES

Hunt recalls Bloody Ridge and the charge a t Bairoko as the two hot-test actions which he has been in. The finest liberty tha t he has ever pitched occurred in New Zealand— af ter the Raiders had come back from Guadalcanal. Asked why it held so high a place in his recollec-tions. Hunt simply leaned back and smiled as visions of the past floated lazily through his brain.

"The women," he said simply.

From the host of Marine Corps greats who led the First Raiders into combat, Hunt recalls Captain— now Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Walt —as one of the finest officers he has ever seen in action.

"He was quiet—we nicknamed him "Silent Lou"—well-liked, al-ways cool and very efficient. He had us a t the last battle of the Matanikau—when Lieutenant Colo-nel -Gri f f i th was wounded—and he really turned a tough situation into a wonderful victory for us." LIKES CHOW

Asked what he liked - best about his new surroundings, Hun t prompt-ly said: "Hie chow."

"I've never forgotten Tulagi," he said, "for many reasons—one of which is that we went ashore with 36 hours worth of rations and re-mained there twenty days. Though our destroyers brought food for us later on. toward the end of the f irs t week and during the early part of the second week we were so hungry tha t we were ready to graze on the cricket field."

Of the potential officers in his charge, Wilfred Hunt has the high-est opinion.

"I've seen such great ones with the Raiders tha t I should be pre-judiced." he says, "but these fellows are going to be of the same caliber when they finish here and a t Quantico and get some overseas ex-perience. They catch on very quickly. Once in a while you'll find some one who will go down to the library to get fur ther information— just as you 11 find them on recon- j naissance patrols on free nights | looking for the slop-chute. They're j good men."

This has been trui the latest in Camp Lejeune varl take-offs, "Gizmo Frolics." All the actual work on scenery been done In Building 129, larly known as the "date of late converted Into s slightly cluttered work-ahop one week said building has p fered sets, murals and var properties for the material sidi the aliow, and has been the pi where a continual spirit of c< raderie ranged high.

There were several Individuals collaborating In the rear ranks who are deserving of the "lest we for -get" memo, namely: Cpl. Shirley Egglefield, Sgt. Ruth Dean. Sgt. Lorraine Tlcdeman. CpL Gertrude Ramsey, Sgt. Marybelle Desbor-ough Sgt. Mildred Steppacher, Pfc . Virginia Rousch, all of the WRs in lieu of their Platoon leading activities, and Pvt.

Recruited for odd jobs which require time and patience wer e t h e "boots" from Recruit Depot. A special vote of thanks goes from the entire crew to the Mess Halls for providing nightly .sacks, which revived their ebbing energies. RECREATIONAL RATIONS

Of much regret to the WRs is the announcement tha t there will be no more Hq. Bn. open houses In the future. The success of the past Sunday afternoon frolics is unquestioned. and a vote of thanks to those who made the f u n possible is definitely in order.

By Marine Combat Correspondent SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC

—•Delayed) — What do America's fighting men think of. as they leave the United States today to join the growing Allied offensives abroad?

First , they have a determination to do the jobs for which they have been trained, so t h a t the enemy may be defeated as quickly as possible.

On this ship, tha t a t t i tude was summed up for a group of Marines by a Leatherneck who is going overseas for the second time in this war. Pvt. Robert E. Schmidt, 21. of San Francisco, Cal.

"I was in the Pacific for more than a year before getting a snort leave back in the United States," he said, as he watched the Amer-ican shore fade in the distance. "While I was home. I got married. I was with my wife four days. Now I 'm shoving off again. But I know tha t the sooner we each do what we have to. to beat the Axis, the sooner we'll be coming home for good. Until then, we can only think ol f ighting and winning."

Pvt. Schmidt 's bride. Mrs. Edith Quinn Schmidt, lives a t the San Francisco address.

There is also a feeling of 'one-liness, as American boys see all t ha t means home disappear on the horizon. They stare through the mist and wonder to each other when they will be coming home again.

"We can't help thinking when we will be sailing in. instead of out," said Marine Pvt. Tullie E. J . (Jack) Frost, 20, of Memphis, Tenn. "Leaving home is especially lonesome, because you leave behind everyone you love. We want to go back to them, already. But we know we can't , till we win. I t will make us f ight harder ."

Well-Dressed Marine Jungle Fighter Finds It's Smart Not To Wear White

By T/SGT. THEO C. LINK Marine Combat Correspondent BOUGAINVILLE — (Delayed) —

Lessons in what the properly dressed jungle f ighter wears are usually always learned during a campaign and the Marines in the Bougainville offensive found t ha t even the slightest bit of white col-oring detracted f rom their camou-flage.

Early in the offensive. Marines on patrol frequently had to h i t the ground in all sorts of postures and found t ha t of ten their dun-garee trouser legs would h i tch up and show the tops of their white >3i" gray-white socks. After a few men got hi t when their position

in the dense jungles was betrayed by the sock top, the Marines painted their sock tops green or discolored them in some manner .

I n equipment lef t behind by the Japanese when the Marines drove them off "Hellzapoppin Ridge" only one piece of white equip-ment was found. I t was a white silk shirt bearing the t rademark of a Sydney, Australia, manufac turer .

The shir t was folded neatly and jammed into the bottom of a pack when found by officers.

"I wonder what the story is be-h ind the possession of t h a t shirt ," mused one fellow. "Was t ha t sol-dier ever in Sydney or did he steal it f r o m a n island planter in raid?

L t. Co l . J o h n D. O'Leary, above, is the camp food director on whose shoulders lie the responsibility for feeding many thousands of Ma-rines here, and well.

By CPL. RALPH W. MYERS Any way you look at it, the job of feeding Marines at

Camp Lejeune is upper-case Big Business. It is on a. scale that would make your mother burri

her prize biscuits, just to think of it. And even the organi-zational genius of a Henry Kaiser couldn't calculate it without an adding machine and some slide rule manipulating.

In manpower alone, the business of filling the camp feed-bag adds up to a major pay roll. More than 400 mess cooks, bakers and butchers and 1,500 messmen mess halls, with 79 more men* working in the camp bakery. Back of them are 78 more, handling the food through warehouse and cold storage in the Industrial Area. BILL IS TITANIC

To a m a n who has adjus ted himself to a corporal's $64-per-month- less -deduc t s - s tand-a t -a t t en-t ion-when-you-get- i t s tate of mind, 6he camp's food bill is overwhel-ming.

Take March for instance. Every time t h e Lejeune Marine bent his elbow h i s mouth opened, and whaml Col. John Kaluf, Quar te r -master , spent $613,614.72 for gro-ceries. And with Uncle Sam get-ting i t wholesale!

Dry stores—non-perishable s ta-ples—are obtained for this camp through contracts made in Wash-ington.

T h a t always was easy, even out in China, bu t f resh stores, meats, vegetables, milk, frui t , and the like, have been the commissary officer's headache since the dawn of m o d e m warfare . HANDLED SIMPLY

Now it is handled with com-para t ive simplicity through the Army Purchasing Centers. Ours is a t Fayetteville. N. C.

Through t ha t clearing house aJl services in this area make all f resh purchases, a great improve-ment over pre-war days when Army, Navy and Marine Corps buyers were competing with each other in a constant scramble for contracts.

Camp Lejeune keeps one officer in Fayetteville. All f resh food orders, cars, vans and tons of al-most everything edible, are placed through him, 21 days before they are needed. And some t ime within the next three weeks the stuff rolls in.

I t is parked in two huge build-ings in t he Industr ia l Area, stacked ceiling-high on the Issue Com-missary's 145,000 square fee t of floor space, or hung and shelved in the chill depths of the refr ig-erated f resh stores warehouse. KEEP 90-DAY SUPPLY

The Marine needn' t worry about somebody doping off and the camp winding up with a bare cupboard. Dry stores keeps a 90-day supply of food on hand at all times. T h a t is more food, packed in one build-ing, t han could be grown in a year on Lejeune's entire 200 square miles, even if anything could be grown here, S/Sgt . Roy E. Throck-morton of t h a t activity points out.

Not one camp gravy bowl was effected last week when a t ra in wreck near Richmond resulted in rolling two carloads of beef, ear-marked for us, into t he cinders.

Against jus t such emergencies, the f resh stores warehouse keeps under refr igerat ion this impres-sive list of basic foods, not to mention others, and issues the stuff twice daily, to boot: 100,000 pounds of beef, 25,000 pounds of ham, the same of lamb and chick-en, 60,000 pounds of bacon, 50,-000 pounds of veal, 36,000 dozen eggs and 40.000 pounds of butter . The other produce, f rom art i -chokes to ru tabagas are i n J i k e proportions. - j

Dry stores, without noticeably denting the pile, rolls out on the loading dock this sort of a weekly oijfier for awaiting me; trucks: 1,650 bags of spuds, a t 100 His-ship , the destroyer O'Bannoi pounds each; 4,520 cases ot milt , '"part icipated in five major engage; 80,000 pounds of coffee, 233,000 pounds of sugar, 3.000 100-pound bags of flour, and enough canned goods to f lounder a small ship. FOOL-PROOF SYSTSM

A fool-proof system and expert personnel combine to reduce this almost unmanageable mounta in of produce to the meal on your mess table—on time every day.

I t all s ta r t s with something known as the Master Menu, pre-scribed months in advance by the nat ion 's leading food experts in Washington. Tha t is a story in itself, a careful calculation of en-ergy, protein, minerals; and vi ta-mins, the multi-mysteries of the

kitchen, t he tricks of palatable preparat ion and nutr i t ional s tand-ards.

Mars Brings Record Mail Load From Pacific The MARS, huge flying boat of

t he Naval Air Transpor t Service, has jus t f lown the largest air mail load in history f rom the Pacific war area to t he United States.

The mail—nearly 800,000 letters f rom service men to the folks at home—was loaded aboard the MARS a t Pear l Harbor, Hawaii, and deposited at San Francisco less t h a n a day later. The mail weighted 23,846 pounds. An addi-tional 1,200 pounds of critical war mater ia l also was carried.

Recognizing how impor tan t it is to the soldiers and sailors in the combat theaters t h a t their mail reach their homes quickly and regularly, Vice Admiral J o h n S. McCain, U.S.N., Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Air), and Capt -ain Don F. Smith, U.S.N., Director of the Naval Air Transpor t Service, have made it a tenet of NATS t h a t mail is a priority item.

The "mail call" t ha t t he MARS recent exploit makes possible for the folks at honm has a - special significance, as many of the let-

ters brought the f irst word of their writers since recent big Pacific battles.

The MARS- record-breaking mail load is some 9,000 pounds heavier t h a n any prior mail cargo.

The MARS, with its veteran crew, was under command of Lt.

PQirs CORNER

Here's Lowdown On New Law To Provide Vote For Servicemen

The old. old Marine, who remembered when they issued picklehaub helmets and red coats, was told by his doctor that the end was nigh. In fact the M. D. had placed a chair by the bedside so rigor mortis would have something to set in. "Let's put up a fight," murmured the old-timer. "How's chances to move me out of this bed-room into the living room?"

The over-age recruit, being ex-amined for the Marine Corps, had a tough time regaining his pins af te r executing a series of knee stoops. "Going a little stiff," re-marked the examining surgeon. "And you." said the recruit, "are a big stiff, I didn't come here to be insulted."

Snorkie, working a cross word puzzle, asked, "What's a "myth?*" "You sap," advised Willie the Weeper, "a myth is a female moth." (You know, like myth moth.)

The guy's so dumb he thinks lhe chief of naval operations is the big shot for abdominal surgery,

Snorky went overboard for an ad in a. hit and miss magazine reading. "Send ten rents in stamp-, and receive a handsome steel engraving • t G e o r g e Washington in color." In return Snorky got a two-eent piece bearing a ateel engraving of George Washington, in color. Old man

was right as rain.

By CAMP NEWSPAPER SERVICE After months of Congressional

debate, the hotely-contested serv-icemen's voting bill has now be-come law, providing for a limited use of Federal "Official War Bal-lots" in the November general elections.

Under the provisions of the bill, servicemen may also apply for state absentee ballots in conjunc-tion with state laws in primary, special and general elections be-tween now and November. A United States War Ballot Com-mission has been established to help administer the act.

"The Official War Ballot," how-ever, covers only the National election in November of Presi-dent, Vice-President, Senators and Representatives. I ts use by soldiers with voting residence in any state depends upon whether the laws of that state allow it to be counted. I t will be impossible to determine which states will okay the ballot and which will not until July 15 when state Governors certify to the War Ballot Commission, the provisions of their laws for voting by State absentee ballots and whether their laws authorize Fed-eral ballots.

Anyway soldiers who will be able to use the "Official War Ballot" are the following:

1. Soldiers inside and outside the U. S. from states who have no state absentee ballot but do allow the use of the Federal one.

2. Soldiers outside the U.S. from states permitting the use of the Federal ballot who take an oath that they applied foT a State ab-sentee ballot before Sept. 1 and have not received it by Oct. L

There Is nothing in tRe new law to restrict the right of soldiers to

vote under State absentee voting laws which cover primary and special elections as well as gen-eral ones and make it possible to vote for state and local officials as well as Federal ones.

Any soldier who is uncertain about his eligibility to vote should write a letter to the Secretary of State of his home state right now and find out.

After voting eligibility has been established, War Department postcards may be used in fur ther steps to get a ballot. The law pro-vides for a new type of postcard

Tank Crews Suffer From 6Ants In Pants'

CAPE GLOUCESTER, New Brit-ain —(Delayed)— Marine tank crews operating in the thick, tang-led underbrush of this near-equa-torial island suffered acutely from "ants in the pants."

Because of the jungle's density, it was necessary at times to keep the turret hatch open in order to get visibility. As the tanks crunched over the under-growth and felled the trees in their path, hordes of ants, angry ants, would be shaken from their arboaeal communities into the tanks' in-teriors . . , and into the clothes of the crews.

Once, the wrath of the ants proved so harassing tha t the five man crew jumped out of the tank, despite enemy fire, ripped off their uniforms, and turned the tank's fire extinguisher on their seeth-ing guests

but the Army has a large supply of the old forms (WD AGO Form 560) on hand and they are ac-ceptable, too. I n applying for a primary ballot, anyone using the old card must remember to write in his party affiliation.

Except for the possible use of the new WD postcard, no changes have been made in the procedure for obtaining and voting by state absentee ballots. Soldiers unable to vote in person may apply for an absentee ballot either in the manner prescribed by the law of his state, or by sending a postcard, new or old farm, or a letter bear-ing the text of the new form to the secretary of state of his home state.

Some states will then send him the absentee ballot which he should fill out. get attested by an officer, warrant officer or non-commissioned officer (not below the rank of sergeant) and return immediately. Other states will send a formal "application for a state absentee ballot" which must be filled out according to instruc-tions and returned before the state will send out the actual absentee ballot itself.

Postcards to be used in the No-vember general elections will be delivered before Aug. 15 for soldiers overseas and before Sept. 15 for soldiers in the U. S., when tha t is practicable under military conditions. The proced-ure for obtaining Federal ballots for use in the November' general elections will not be announced until the state Governors have cer-tified to the War Ballot Commis-sion whether their states will per-mit their use.

Additional information on the new law will be found in WD. Cir. 128. April 3, 1944

Navy War Bond Purchases Break Record In March

Making Navy War bond history, bond purchases in March by Navy personnel shattered existing rec-ords by pushing through the half-billion-dollar mark with a total for the month of $46,036,481. The grand total since the inauguration of the bond program in October, 1941, through March, was $512,-700,115. Sales in March, 1943, were $17,759,915.

The March volume of Navy bond business was the second highest in the history of the program, being exceeded only by • the De-cember, 1943, total of $57,021,654. The latter total, however, w a s boosted substantially by the Pearl Harbor Day cash sale on Decem-ber 7 of $23,079,770.

Inasmuch as there was no com-parable campaign during March, the total for last month ranks as the highest normal volume since the program began to operate.

SCOUTS AID IN CAMP WASTE PAPER DRIVE Editor, The Globe:

In answer to your article in last week's GLOBE about the waste paper campaign the Girl and Boy Scouts want to call your attention to a recent notice in the weekly bulletin tha t on the first Saturday in each month Boy and Girl Scouts will make a house to house can-vas in Paradise Point, Midway and Trailer Camp to gather waste pa-per for collection by truck. Each resident is asked to have his paper saved up for tha t Saturday, ready for collection, and tied into bun-dles. The first collection will be Saturday, May 5. I t is hoped tha t by this method more paper may be turned into the Reclamation and Salvage officer for disposal and use in the war effort. I t will not be possible for the boys and girls to collect the paper f rom the bar-racks, but it has been suggested t h a t each barracks or squad room have a "paper man" who will see tha t all read home town papers and magazines be put in a suit-able place for collection.

We all can't save tin cans, grease, and other war essentials but every-

think twice before he per away. EPH O. BUTCHER.

By S/Sgt. T. J . O'Malley. Next Saturday night a dance

for permanent personnel of the battalion will be held in Bldg. 201 with WR permanent personnel in attendance. On 13 May, a double barrelled dance is scheduled in 201 and 401 for all Signal per-sonnel and the Recreation Com-mittee is planning bigger and bet-ter prizes for this affair .

Pending is a smoker in May with professional wrestlers, boxing and a variety show. Talent for the latter is being recruited by Sgt. Beth. Committee for the smoker is headed by Capt. Holmes. FIRST GAME TOMORROW

First game for Signal's baseball team will be played tomorrow evening with the Engineer Battal-ion as opponent. Signal's softball team under the management of WO Laucks and PISgt. Aldridge will probably see action this week for the f irs t time also. Electronics softball nine played a WR team in Area 1 last week and the WR Officers team has challenged the Signal Officers to a game

The bowling league has resumed af ter a n intermission while alleys were being repaired. Co. A won the first half with Headquarters Co in the lead for the second half I t is expected tha t competition between these two will decide the battalion championship.

Signal's orchestra will entertain between the first and second shows at Area 3 theater with first performance scheduled for tonight. New music stands for the orches-tra are in the making and are expected to appear soon. NEW SPORT PLANNED

A new sport for the battalion was discussed a t last week's re creation meeting and oarsmen are expected to be interested. An ef-fort to procure racing shells for intra and inter-battalion meets is being made. Also pending is a softball league for corporals and privates. Each company will enter a team and substantial prizes will be given for outstanding play.

Probably the most surprised man in the battalion last week was Corp. Arthur Wulff who was called in from the field and was conse-quently convinced a transfer w a s the reason. To his chagrin he learned there was no transfer but tha t a new ROS property man was needed. Co. A has recently joined the Danneberger twins, Edwin and Arthur. Both boys en-listed 25 September, 19 4 3 and were in the same platoon a t Pa r -ris Island. At present they are attending a course in Electronics School.

Orchids to our MCWRs who broke into the NCO ranks last week. They include Cpls. Sopher and Chambers of the Sergeant Major's Staff and Cpls. Mix and Mellick of OBDS.

MUSIC—The members of this battalion wish to extend their heartiest thanks to the 13th Anti-aircraft Battalion's band for the smooth renditions of current popu-lar music a t our mess hall. The boys are strictly "in the groove'' and are welcome to play a re turn engagement on the same circuit any time. The floor show ex-plains the appearance of the new chow passes. SPORTS NEWS

Special Weapons trounced 155mm in a game a few nights ago with the f inal score reading Spl. Wpns. 6, 155mm 1. Excellent pitching was shown by both sides, but the batteries of Spl. Wpns. seemed a trifle stronger than 155's staff . The competition for the Artillery crown is getting keen of late, but there still remains one deficiency which is sooner or later destined to change the picture. Tha t deficiency is the Jack of support for the teams. If you're afraid to turn out because you lack enthusiasm, look at the other side of the story-Without support our teams have only one alternative. If they can't play for a crowd they naturally tu rn to having a good time and the net result is usually a poor gpme with plenty of horseplay. Compe-tition has always been a p a n of the American way and without tha t competitive spirit we can't hope for much. So next time you're on the way to the slop-chute, why not stop over a t the athletic field if there is a game scheduled- Games usually s tar t a t 1730 and are over around 1900 (times enough to make the late show if you wish). It will not only enthuse the players to have a crowd, but we're sure a good time will be had by alL. Whadva say gang, let's go! RECREATION* REPORT

S T A R D C S T i n g N B A Ignores " D u r a t i o n Ti t l e" N o n s e n s e In Quarterly Rat ings As Abe J. G r e e n e R e f u s e s T o O v e r l o o k B o x e r s In Service

With The Globe Trotter-Refusing to name any "duration" title holders, the

National Boxing- Association last week took a step in behalt of former boxing stars now in the armed forces by including these men—from heavyweight king Joe Louis on down, in its quarterly rating's.

Said President Abe J. Greene, New Jersey newspape? man: "The NBA feels that these champions and near-greats are entitled to have their names kept fresh in boxing fans' minds. To drop them is to commit an affront to their patriotic activities."

However, apparently through an oversight, the championship ratings committee, headed by Fred Saddy of Milwaukee, did a Marine Private, Roscoe Toles, a rank injustice by failing to list him among the "logical contenders" in the heavyweight division or even among the ' ou t s t and-ing boxers." Toles is now a t Montford Point.

A check with Col. Harvey L. Miller, Camp Paymaster ana Executive Secretary of the NBA. reveals Toles as "certainly an outstanding heavyweight and probably belonging- among the logical contenders. " The Detroit r ingman has been on tour in youth America for the last three years and must have been overlooked when Saddy compiled his list.

Leo Rodak, Illinois welterweight, is the only Marine actually to "make" the ratings. There are f i f teen soldiers listed, eleven Coast Guardsmen, five sailors and two Canadian soldiers.

Champions in four divisions are servicemen. They are Joe Louis, Army, heavyweight; Gus Lesnevich, Coast Guard, light-heavy we lg , Tony Zale, Na^y, middleweight and Freddie "Red" Cochrane, Navy, welterweight.

"Logical contenders" in the heavyweight division are listed as Billy Conn and Jimmy Bivins, with Melio Bettina, Lee Savold, Joe Baksi, Tami Mauriello, Lee Q. Murray and Turkey Thompson as ' outstanding boxers.

Some interesting dope concerning Louis and Conn is passed along by Bill Stern, nationally-known sportscaster. In a blurb en-titled "Will They Come Back," the National Broadcasting Co. re-porter opines tha t the great colored heivyweight champ will never again reach the fine edge he held when smashing Max Schmeling to the canvas in a single round. _It is not a matter of getting down to fighting weight. More important is the problem of restoring reflexes and muscular co-ordination, which enabled Louis to perfect his timing such as few fighters ever have.

Final Indoor Fistic Show Thrills 1500

More than 1,500 rabid fight fans jammed every inch of the Area 4 Gymnasium last Wednesday night to witness Camp Lejeune's final indoor boxing show of the season. It was the largest crowd to ever see a show indoors on the base and the ring followers were rewarded with seven popular bouts. „ _ ,

Next Wednesday night the Camp Recreation Depart-ment will undertake the first of a series of outdoor shows —under the lights, opposite Building One. Bleacher seats have been erected to accom-* modate 3,000 rooters.

Yankees Draft Bertelli The Boston Yankees, of the National Professional Football League,

have selected Angelo Bertelli, Notre Dame's 1943 passing w h i z - n o w a Marine second lieutenant, as their first choice in the ® n t d ra f t of college gridiron aces. The Yanks had f irst choice of all the clubs and lost no time in grabbing the West Springfield, Mass., All-American for their roster.

At present the Boston outfit has nothing but an owner, Ted Collins of radio fame, a franchise, a lease on Fenway Park, Bertelli and a post-war contract with Navy Lt. Jim Lansing, ex-Fordham star, ^ w e v e r , with Bertelli's passing skill, and Lansing, one of the country s best ends, around to grab "em, the Bostoniahs have a good start .

Another prominent Marine, Duke's Bob Gant t , .has been drafted for grid warfare with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gant t ' s play a t end won him numerous honors.

Cardinals And Senators Picked " This being the time when all good (and otherwise) sports scribes take pen in hand and go about the pointless task of selecting the major league pennant winners, The Globetrotter herewith dust oxf the crystal ball, consults the Ouija Board, polls his best-informed sports contact* and gives for th : National League: St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago, Brooklyn. Pittsburgh, New York. Boston and Philadelphia. American League: Washington. New York, Detroit, St. Louis, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia.

The Cardinals, as everyone realizes, are better stocked with sea-soned men than any other big league club, having among others the great brother battery of Mort and Walker Cooper.

In the American Loop, the world champion Yankees may have trouble finishing as high as second, with a weak outfield, average infield, good pitching and poor catching. Joe McCarthy has his work cut out for him this season. The Senators, with a "knuckleball happy pitching staff are counting upon Roger Wolff and his hurling mates to put them on top.

Billy Aldridge, George Eschman and Johnny Stivitz copped last Wednesday's "feature" bouts, all winning close decisions af ter three rounds of torrid -battling. Aldridge, 165, Signal Battalion, won his f i f th straight verdict by outpoint-ing Charley Grier, 168, Artillery Battalion: Eschman, 165, Rifle Range, defeated Tony Cosentino, 164, Signal Battalion and Stivitz, 168, Signal Battalion, eked out a win over Jim Brinkman, 165, 13th AA Battalion.

ALDRIDGE BEATS GRIER In beating Grier, Aldridge tu rn-

ed in the cleanest knockdown of the evening, slapping his foe to th& canvas with a brisk one—two at tack seconds before the first round ended. He couldn't follow up, though, and Grier came along to provide two first-rate rounds af ter the decking.

Stivitz, on his bicycle most ol the time, kept a straight lef t in Brinkman's oncoming face to pile up enough points for a close win-The AA-man, ever plodding toward his foe, once again demonstrated his granite jaw, repeatedly shaking off punches t h a t would have floor-ed many other battlers. BANTAMS SCORE HIT

But it took a couple of little guys ' to s tar t the show off in a successful manner . Joe Perry, 126 and Louie Duclos, 124, both of En-gineer Battalion; put on three rounds of scampering and swing-ing tha t would have done justice to any vaudeville card—and the fans loved i t ! Fighting the No. 2 bout of the evening, these eager Bantams chased each other around the ring until both had reached the exhaustion point. The verdict went to Perry, although he was down for a nine - count in the second round.

In other encounters, Bob Cage, 155, Signal Battalion, defeated Hal Bennett, 153, Artillery Battalion; Lee Rothermel, 145, Signal Battal-ion, outpointed Roland Fearon, 145, Service Battalion, and Bob Horner, 160, Artillery Battalion, took Law-rence Dickey, 164, Signal Battalion.

Cherry Point Pugilists To Face Quantico

MARINE BARRACKS, Quantico, Va.—Thirty-two rounds of boxing will fill out the f ight card tonight, when the Quantico Marine Boxing team will meet the pugilists from Cherry Point in a re turn engage-ment.

This match will prove to be the "play-off" tilt between the Air-men from North Carolina and the Quantico pugilists. Early in the year, Cherry Point came to Quan-tico and were handed a 4-3 de-feat. Two months ago, the Air-men played host to the Quantico team and evened the series with a 6-4 hard earned victory over the local leather pushers. The Quanti-co team recently gained a decisive win over t h e Merrick Club of Washington, D. C., and Cherry Point split a f ight card with the top ranking fighters f rom Parris Island. Therefore the forthcoming battle should be filled with fast action with both teams out to gain the edge on the other.

Capt. A. H. Wambagans, boxing-team mentor, has failed to dis-close who the Quantico men are who will pair off with the Cherry Pointers. The entire team, with the exception of two men, is in good condition. jPfc. Theodore Soztak and Pfc. Herbert M. John-son, have been on the ailing list for the past three weeks. Soztak has a sore throat and Johnson i§ on the sick list with a dislocated finger.

A valuable addition to the team may prove to be Platoon Sergeant David Crew, a heavyweight. How-ever, Crew also joins" the other members of the squad in wonder-ing what the pairings will be, and if he will get a chance to go into,, action next week.

Boxers from the North Carolina air base who are scheduled to put in a ring appearance here are: Pfc. Frank Rich, 128 lbs; Pfc. James McFadden, 133 lbs; Pfc. Laurence Roach, 144 lbs.; Sgt. Jo-seph Miragliotta, 155 lbs.; and Cpl Paul Qctavio, 175 lbs.

Official Roster Of Quantico Baseball Team Is Revealed

MARINE BARRACKS, Quantico, Va.—The long-awaited official ros-ter announcing the top-s t r ing m e n of the Quantico Marine baseball team was revealed this week by Marine Second Lt . Welby W. Cronk, t eam manager . The roster lists 21 players.

With t he f i rs t game of the sea-son slated for April 29, when the local lads will be pit ted against a visiting Army team f rom For t Belvoir, comment regarding the prospects of the Quantico outfi t

rife a t this Post. While no team can be judged accurately un-til it has actually performed in its f irst game of the season, the Quantico lads have had enough workouts to permit some advance speculation, A close observation reveals t ha t the Marines will come out of t he dugout a li t t le top-heavy in the bat tery depar tment for their f i rs t game, and a little weak on the hi t t ing side. The pitching bat tery boasts of seven twirlers and Manager Cronk is looking to them for a good share of the season's victories. An out -s tanding contender for t he catch-er's position is Pfc. George Saver-ine, who probably will be in the first str ing lineup when the lid is pried off the season on April 29.

Saverine also is an excellent out -fielder.

Pfc . Craig H. Flenard, also slated for mound duty, including Pfc. Leo Dombek. Both these twirlers also can double as out-fielders which serves to s t rengthen the outfield section of the Quan-tico team, which to da te h a s only three fielders listed on the roster in t h a t depar tment .

Manager Cronk claims t ha t there will be no trouble in the infield lineup. The Quimby, Tucker, Es-kildson and Theodore combination will be a h a r d one to beat. The way these lads have been scoop-ing up the horsehide during work-outs, would make any club m a n -ager feel good.

The , th i rd sack may be the weak spot on the team. Pfc. Charles M. Quimby is the lone player h a n d -ling this" position, a hot spot on any ball club. Quimby is an ace at third, but there is always t he chance t ha t he may no t be avail-able a t a crucial moment .

The pitching bat tery continues to show flawless style in practice sessions, and all seven twirlers should be ready for duty on the day of the opener. However, M a n -ager Cronk will probably give Sec-ond Lt. Harry A. Dyck, ex-South-ern California twirler, the nod for the For t Belvoir opener.

way. THRILLING EXPERIENCES

There were thril l ing experiences and several narrow escapes, he admits. Since he emerged without a scratch, however, he is prone to minimize his activity. He likes to talk about t he old classmates he met out there.

Wi th the many Mercer a lumni who are in t he Marines, Capt . Mc-l lvaine says he could have ex-pected to see many famil iar faces.

When he got on the subject of Georgia and Georgians, his mem-ory went back to days when he was scampering over the basket-ball planks, baseball diamond, and football field a t Gordon Military College in Barnesville. An all-c o n f e r e n c e performer in th ree sports, he h a d a side shot with a cageball t h a t wouldn't wait. ATTENDED MERCER

Then, in 1939, he went to Mer-cer, where he played for two years. Art Wright , an Ohioan and Mercer footballer in the late *20's h a d interested h im in coming to Georgia.

They are among a large number of Buckeye boys to per form for Cracker colleges.

The officer brought his wife, home-town choice, to live wi th h im a t the camp. He is very happy about t he "state-side" duty as an instructor of t he V-12 of-ficer candidates, but feels t h a t sooner or later the urge to get overseas will h i t h im again.

Wha t about more football, he was asked, in t he hope t h a t Le-jeune will field another team?

Time will decide tha t , " he re -plied with a grin.

"Wha t You Should K r j o w A ^ u t the Marines' is another ser ies writ-ten for the civilian, / a b o u t o u r f ighting men. The Jfook begins with a chapter on tr/^ jmssion of t h e Marine Corps, ag m i s s i 0 n epi-tomized on the f ami l i a r line, "The Marines h a v e ^ { ^ e d a n d have the s i t u a t i o n i n hand ."

Following a completely di f ferent t rend, the Book Shop h a s the "Comprehensive Anthology of American Poetry," another of the Modem Library books compiled by Conrad Aiken. He was guided in his selections for this volume by the principle t ha t American poetry has reached the maturi ty and dig nity of the poetry of older coun tries. With this conviction in mind, he could afford to eliminate some of the stodgy old bards and make place for the refreshing and vital work of the poets who have arisen during the last quarter century.
