In the Mountain States territory there are more than 56,000 orders for service now held on waiting lists. Western Electric now has been authorized to resume unlimited manufacture of telephone instruments, but that does not mean that telephones will begin to roll off the r assembly lines at once in quantities. Production is still limited by shortages of manpower and materials and by the needs of war. pre-wa- But the shortage of telephone instruments is not the only reason for the telephone waiting list. Until the wires between the subscriber's premises and the telephone office are available, as well as the equipment in the telephone exchange, the instrument itself is of no use. sea-son- Telephone manufacturing plants are busy making magnetic, acoustic, and electronic equipment for our fighting forces in the Pacific. War must come first. When progress in the war against Japan permits the reconversion of these plants to civilian purposes, and all the needed facilities become available, then installing them will be the biggest job in our Company's y'r'---- one to which we all look forward.

Spring has seen him driven out of his Siegfried defenses across the Rhine river, and on to the Eube river, the last natural line of defense before Berlin. Our part in the German campaign is still fresh in our minds. General Patch has called our first bridges across the Rhine "a fitting climax to a long line of construction pro- jects you have so brilliantly com pleted."

I am sure that each one of these fortunate men will tell you that he was proud to have been a member of this regiment, which has been midely publicized for its individual and collective accomplishments in newspapers all over the United States. lr-WNt- minfcliiitr iiaiiiTiVT Page Five Hall Continued from page 1 the Aussies' On Dec. 15 Capt. Beck's support battery used rockets for the first lime in a combat landing, at Ara-New Britain. After the Navy's attack force had lifted its bombardment to ermit landing craft to d beach, two i ducks trucks amphibious opened up and kept the beach covered with explosions until our boats were only 150 wards from shore. Result three Jap 75s on the shore never went into action. Later the ducks, rushed several miles from the beachhead to intercept a swarm of Jap barges, sank tight of them. Twelve days later Capt. Beck and lh!i two rocket Ducks went in on Ihf Cape Gloucester landing with the First Marine division, firing both from the sea as the landing craft approached the shore and from land later on in support of the Marines' advance on a Jap airdrome. Once, advised by a lookout on to of a ridge that sev eral hundred of the enemy were moving along a ravine beyond the ridge to reach some of their field pieces, the ducks fired some 200 rounds in three minutes and wiped out almost the entire unit. These ducks, with rocket crews of five men each, mounted 120 rocket tubes apiece each tube capable of delivering an explosive charge comarable to that of a 105- mm shell. Beck's two little amphibious warships stayed on in support of the Marines for six weeAs, at Hell's oint and Borgen Bay and Natamo Point and Twin Rivers, and then was withdrawn for use with the First Cavalry in the assault on Los Negros in the Admiralties. So much for the early days of the rocket. The Arawae actidVi also saw the first real combat use g by our engineer brigade of the tanks of LVT's called alligators and (an improved model) Buffaloes. These proved especially useful in negotiating reefs and making an initial landing while engineering scouts were searching out safe passages for landing boats. www Nephi, Utah s, r I fat 3 prices-ne- w bulk, 25e a VICO, in quart-Qu- Sifntl Cotpa Pholt PHILIPPINE SCOUT WliRiiCapt.
