The Private Papers Of a Neivspapcrman: This It a, personal message to a few irresponsible American women, who do not realize the headache they are causing some of our Com. manding Officers by causing heart-aches to our fighting men. . . This message was suggested by Govern-ment and war leaders who appar-ently are concerned about a certain matter arM here it Is. A fighting man is only as good as his fighting heart. . . . And inside his heart he carries the woman he loves. . . . Anybody in the armed services from the hard-boile- top sergeants to the understanding chaplains will tell you that a fight-er can best protect our country when the woman he loves is protecting his heart. ... It is the source of a sol-dier's greatest strength and it ii also the possible source of his great-est trouble. This means that a certain, thoughtless, small percentage of American women must do their duty to their country by giving their absent fighting men more consideration. ... It Is an ex-tremely sad occurrence when telegram arrives in some Amer-ican home with the news that an American fighting man la a casualty. ... It Is also sad when an American fighting man on a firing line receives a letter tell-ing him that his affection for the woman he loves is a casual-ty back home. . . . Think that over. A Washington paper, reporting that Joe Kamp and Ed Rumely were trying to have Congressional indict-ments against them dismissed, quoted their counsellors as saying the Indictments should be thrown out "on grounds that the subpoenas were addressed to the House ser-geant at arms and not the defend-ants." Oh, don't change the subject! Many soldiers are writing this reporter because they do not un-derstand the GI Bill of Rights. . . . The D. 8. Gov't owes its fighting forces the same thor-ough education in their civilian rights that it insisted upon in their military duties. . . . The American people expect each fighting man to get as much as-sistance under the GI Bill of Rights as that fighting man gave service under the articles of war. . . . This Gov't owes It to each fighting man to bring as much attention to his return to civil life as it put forth to bring him as a civilian into the armed services. ... If the Gov't Is able to seek out a deserter to punish him it ought to be able to seek out Its heroes to reward them. . . . Each fighting man is en-titled to expert advice at Gov't expense. . . . This is more than simple justice. It is sound na-tional policy. It is easy to understand why the officials (responsible for the trans-portation of our returned men) had them ride in coaches while prison-ers of war rode in Pullmans. . . . This excerpt from a soldier reveals that higher-up- s give more consider-ation to prisoners. Look: "Gallbach, Austria: Yesterday I saw something that burned me up. I went for a ride along the Alps and saw Ger-man soldiers who had surrendered (120,000 in all), who had never been put in a prisoner's cage. Instead, they were living in the best hotels, swimming, riding ve- - nicies and probably got their gas from us men; they had all the American ciggies and food they wanted. They also carried small arms, such as pistols, rifles and ma-- 1 chine gats. Can you imagine that? Thil through the courtesy of the American 7th Army. Maybe I'm on the wrong side!" This la a short and ugly story about a war hero. His name is Cpl. Edward Majeskl of Hastings, Minn. He was the first soldier from the 1st ward or mat community w leave for combat duty. He served 4 years in uniform most of that time In actual combat overseas 18 months of which he suffered in a Nazi prison camp. ... He was wounded. . When he returned to Hastings there was no crowd at the station, no cheering, no bands, no paper or confetti shower, no flags. No nuttin'. . . Only this "greeting" from a storekeeper, who had the police hand Majeski a sum-mons and complaint. . . Corporal Majeskl was fined $10 and court costs for riding a bike on a Hastings sidewalk. . Whew! Second Thoughts on Some Second Raters: Hitler, according to the Moscow mighties, is a suicide, the first vic-tim of his killings people can be glad about. But the tragic part of it all is we could have had him dead by his own dirty hand a decade ago. Had one nation France, Britain, anybody pulled a gun on him when he marched into the Ruhr, Hitler, by compact with the High Com-mand, was pledged to blow hit looney top off. onirig No Drawback to North Carolina Farmer worried no gas, no oil, no tires impede this Appalachian in the pursuit of his weekly grocery He hooks his steer to his sled with wooden runners, picks up a smidget of something Iiin't pulls it back to his craggy home. It may be a mite slow, but he doesn't have to argue with the it. The North Carolina steer can go wherever a shod animal could climb, and the narrow sled, will shame the most prudent wagon on steep slopes. Fishes in His Private Pool It is not every boy tkrt has his own private fishing pool. Thil young farm boy baits hook hopefully and prepares to fish in the famll pond. Private waters like these can be used the year around, and nun dreds of inland farm kids who never had a chance to fish are grow ing up Into a larger generation of sportsmen. The government hai encouraged building of private ponds. Some states, such as Missouri, offei special inducements for farm pools, not only stocking with fish but supply-ing at cost shade trees and water plants for the pools. Even In postwar, tin addition of fish to the farm diet will be welcomed. j Man of War &sbbbbbP BKraBBBSBBBSSSSBBBBBBH inia:: w' bssb BHnfflBBlffiWiiwlsi8w it imfllr rfi One of the busiest men in the ad-ministration, Under Secretary of War Robert P.
