By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press War Correspondent - V IN THE HAWAIIAN JUNGLES CJ.KA sisn by the side of a trail carriet this challenging legend: "it taxes guts . . . . ty of here OUTS. For this is the ' finishing school of intestinal fortitude for the American dough boy en route to far Pacific battle-t battle-t fronts. This U the U. S. Army Unit - Jungle Training Center a school of combat realism which gives the doughfoot complete confidence confi-dence in himself, his buddies and his weapons. It is a school of hard knocks where he learns to overcome fear of the jungle; where he learns to fight and lick the Japanese. And by the time he graduates, he is ready to take on the enemy anywhere, any time " and under any conditions for this Is his last dress rehearsal be fore the real thing. Intensive Course The course is short only 56 hours compressed into one week. But it is thoroughly intensive. And by the time the GI has completed com-pleted it, he knows Just about all he needs to know in the way of hand-to-hand combat, booby traps and demolition, jungle liv ing, ambushing and patrolling, nip shooting and Infiltration, bayonet bay-onet assault and stream crossing. He knows bow to knock out a Japanese pillbox and attack a Japanese-held town or any other enemy fortified area. He knows because such lessons must be learned the hard way by living in a jungle and by doing the very things he must face in actual combat. There is nothing make-believe about the combat training here except the enemy and that part of it becomes real soon enough. The GI fires live ammunition and is exposed to all the dangers he would face in battle. -Lethal machine-gun fire goes ripping into a target; flame throwers squirt streams of searing liquid fire; deadly hand grenades are hurled into pill boxes or frame buildings simulating other enemy defense installations. The trainees can't afford to make a mistake under these conditions for obvious reasons. There aren t many mistakes. mis-takes. The theory behind this realistic combat training is that the foot soldier might as well know now what he will be. up against when he comes face to face with the enemy. The system pays rich dividents In the form of victory and lives saved in actual battle. Best evidence evi-dence of this is the victory now ' being fashioned by U. S. troops on Okinawa. That triumph-in-the making was hatched here, for not long ago many of them went through this course. Colonel Trained Rancers They are among the troops so trained here since the school be gan operating Sept. 12, 1943. The same training lies ahead for many thousands more who will fight the ultimate battle of Japan. Headmaster of the school Is rough, tough, two-fisted Col. Wil liam C. Saffarrans, who once put the famed Rangers through their paces at the Tennessee training center. Saffarrans, former Georgetown university and army football player, emphasizes that he is not running a school for "supermen" here. "There is nothing in any course that the average soldier capable of going into combat cannot do," he said. His trainees represent every walk of American life. He is welding them into a resourceful, victorious fighting team whose watchword is "Protect your buddy," bud-dy," and whose badge of valor is guts.

The conference has only one set of flags of all 46 United Nations present here. When the sessions move to and from the veterans building build-ing and opera house, workmen work-men hurriedly take down the flags from one building and rush them over to the ether. The gold spearheads on the f Iagstaffs are changed around, too. Another set has been ordered or-dered but they haven't arrived ar-rived yet. All conference cars and buses are identified by red and ereen stickers on the windshields.
