And the private is cautioned
against letting a sergeant hear him
say:
IF was a handshaker, I'd be

In sending supplies (other than
food) to soldiers, the sergeant says:
Remember that a soldier has to
carry all his possessions on his back" Z"
That's a hint to refrain from send
ing him floor lamp and morris
chair so that he can be comfortable
in the evenings, no matter how far
he has travelled by day.
One recruit says to the sergeant:
I'm in a receiving company and
never seen such place in my
whole life. say good night to one
guy and good morning to another
guy in the same bed. They always
come in and get four or five guys
in the middle of the night. :. cor

Flynn Accuser's S Parents
And Sister Called 10 Testify
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.-Mr. and
Mrs. William c.. Satterlee and
Mickey June Satterlee. the parents
and sister of Peggy Larue Satterlee,
were summoned to testify today in
the statutory assault trial of Enrol
Flynn, as police officers declared
they would demand investigation of
her statement that she underwent
what the State stipulates was an
illegal operation.
Miss Satterlee admitted under
cross examination yesterday that an
operation had been performed on
her, inferentially during the period
between the weekend cruise she
made aboard Flynn's yacht in Au-
gust, 1941, and the time of her
questioning last fall concerning that
episode.
It. Robert w. Boiling and Sergt.
Edward Walker of the Police Juve-
nile Control Division, who were in
vestigators in the Flynn case, stated
after the close of the days court
session they would take action as
soon as the trial Is concluded.
The name of the man involved
was not mentioned in her cross
examination by Jerry Giesler,
Flynn's attorney, which ELECTED
testimony on Miss Satterlee's part
that she had told Deputy District
Attorney Thomas w. Cochran of
the operation in relating incidents
Of her life.

and I am strong. Yet today, fully
recovered, I would hesitate to tackle
that stretch of water. On that day,
thoroughly exhausted and with three
weeks of thirst and hunger behind
me, accomplished feat that would
have tried a well man. 1t was the
second miracle and 1 recognized it
for what 1t was. The first was on
the 18th day when we were at the
point of collapse from thirst. In an
swer to prayer, rain squall that had
passed us up, returned to save US.
We were at the reef now and the
sharks left us. But the ebb was not
quite over. When the rollers started
coming In there was danger to the
boat. Johnny now lay across the
bow Of the raft and pulled with his
hands. Using the swells we inched
the vulnerable rubber craft across
the sharp coral and into the calm
water beyond. At pm. on the nose
we touched the island-our first dry
land in three weeks.
1 thanked God briefly. pledged
that I would thank him at length
during the remainder of my days
through thought, word and deed. AT
the moment there was much to be
done, especially for Jimmy Reynolds.

heart now. Where there was the
Broadway Jimmy who liked to
throw his weight around-just for
laughs" there is now revealed the
modest sergeant who, writing let
ter to Quentin Reynolds about the
men around him in uniform. puts
near the end by way of summary:
Believe me, Quent, with the ex-
ception of me, this is a good Army"
Everybody is reading war litera-
ture now. Some of it appeals to all
readers and probably all of it ap-
peals to some readers. THE Ser
geant Says" should go all right with
old soldiers and new. It's the real
stuff from the squad tent. the COM
pany street, the camp kitchen and
the orderly room. And it tells GER
tain types of civilians where they
get off, too, which isn't bad idea.
To the civilians the sergeant says
in part:
Don't tell him Ca serviceman)
what's wrong with the Army. II
you're not in it, how would you
know"
And again:
Don't tell him about the drunken
soldiers you see. They're on pass
and off duty if they're in the city.
When they get out of line the MPs
pick them up. I've never heard a
soldier counting drunken civilians. :"
OF one Of his earlier adventures
in the Army the sergeant reports:
Il stood guard yesterday. I did
all right. Not barrack was stolen"
Advice for Privates.
The sergeant also has some ad-
vice for privates if they care to lis
tenor read the book. Jimmy s
private advice concerning dealing
with sergeants includes;
Don't tell him you came into the
Army to fight Nazis when he orders
you to swing mop"
Don't tell him you hunted all
your life and don't need a rifle
sling"
Don't tell him he reminds you of

AssoiIed in Courts
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CINCINNATI, Jan. 21.-Comment-
ing on an indictment returned
against his company in Kansas City
yesterday, c. M. Robertson, presi-
dent OF the Kroger Grocery Il Bak-
ing Co., said "the Attorney General
might have been more considerate
of us and the oDT by pulling of
this contemplated bout nearer Gin
cinnati.'
Il am given the impression" said
Mr.. Robertson in a formal state
ment, that the real problem or OBJ
jective involved is theory in eco
nomics that bignsss in itself in food
distribution as exemplified by Kro-
ger is economically unsound. In es-
sence, the Government wishes US to
unscramble our eggs and become
$500 (store) units. Another
arm of our Government is at this
time endeavoring to recommend the
very things that Kroger is and has
been doing providing low-cost
food to consumers by buying direct
from the farmer and producer
and effecting the maximum of
economies In the distribution OF
same. ="
Mr.. Robertson quoted Secretary Of
Agriculture Wickard as having writ
ten in the January issue Of Food
Industries:
American professors and dis
tributors are, like American farm
ers, wonderfully efiicient. This Is
not the time to change basic meth
DDS and relationships in either food
processing or distributing, just for
the sake Of change. On the other
hand, the Government has an equal
responsibility for steering away
from unnecessary, changes In the
way professors and distributors do
business and for extending them all
possible help in making adjust
ments which are needed
So" Mr.. Robertson said, ut
remains to be seen which objective
Of our Government will prevail"

An oar turned in my hand. Then

us earlier. These were man-eaters.

He didn't. In the final burst to
reach the reef, those aluminium
oars were bent. 1t was not John
Whitaker who bent them. I didn't

to bend pin.
I was not conscious of exerting any
strength. 1t was more as though
the oars were working automatically

Persons Ousted

To Be in Want

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Jan 81.
Payments have not yet been made
by the Navy to about 1000 persons
whose homes were taken last Octo-
Der and December in enlarging the
Cuantico Marine Base. and some of
these persons were reported here to
be suffering from want.
Stafford County Agent w. L.
Browning and Levert J. Graves,
chairman OF the Stafford Agricultu-
raj War Board. active in supervising
the evacuation, said when asked
about the report that there was
sone suffering among the families
who were waiting for their money
from the Government
We'll, what else could you expect?
Figure it out for yourself: Many of
these 1000 Stafford people were
evacuated by October % last and the
others, not quite so hurriedly, by
December S.
And none of them have yet re-
ceived any money for the property
they were forced TO sell TO the Navy
under condemnation proceedings
with apparently little chance of
getting 1t for long time to come. "

ishment in exile. For three differ
ent newspapers he wrote straight
news, crime news, feature articles,
politics, sports and Broadway gos-
sip. He drifted from one field to
another and from one newspaper
to another.
New York was his native land and
he loved the blare OF Broadway. He
lounged along Jacobs Beach" the
parade ground of the prize fight
trade. He reveled in the dizzy whirl
of the hot spots" and the swank
of the expensive boob traps" He
sat around with notables of high
and low repute. He knew all the
entertainers, the prize ring idols,
the baseball stars, the powerful poll
ticians, the stuffed-shirt crowd and
the bad 'uns like Dutch Schultz,
since deceased.
The sergeant says dn the book
that this Broadway Jimmy Cannon
was scatter Drained wastrel and a
no-account citizen - the sergeant
really lays it on-but that's going
too far. If Jimmy took it all too
lightly in those days, the sergeant
is taking it too seriously in retro
spect.
The worst that anybody else ever
said of Jimmy was that he was
wasting his time and his talents.
And everybody liked Jimmy because
he was full of fun and had a heart
as big As his waist line. which was
impressive in that era through eat
ing frequently and richly and TAX
ing no other form of healthful
exercise.
Army Is His Religion.
Anyway, along came the summons
to service-and after that, Pearl
Harbor-and Jimmy got religion. u
His religion" is the Army. He's still
sentimentalist about Broadway
but now he knows Broadway's place
in the world at large. It's great
street but 1t is just street in a
