Hello, everybody! "Curley Top"
brings you greetings from the 150th
ON. Truck Co. This company, re-
Gently activated in the 469th ON
Truck Regiment, is grateful for the
opportunity to become a member of
the Apache Sentinel and have the
privilege to make friends with all of
the other organizations thus asSo-
ciated.
Because of our recent birth, we
cannot boast of a long and illus
trious history; but we have hopes of
a bright and successful future This
fact is apparent because our COM
pany has been placed under the
capable leadership of Capt. HaW-
kinson, an excellent leader and an
experienced officer. Supporting him
in his efforts are Its. Leanard,
Monroe, Bonaguidi and Grimm.
Also we are fortunate in having well
trained and experienced cadre-men
most of whom formerly were mem
bers of the 828th Tank Destroyer
Bn., one of the best tank destroyer
units in this country.
The soldiers who make up our
company roster are men who re-
Gently completed their basic train
ing at Camp Wolters, Tex, and
Camp Croft, sc. They are men
who have won much praise for their
soldering. abilities in their former
camps and now are resolved to con-
tinue to exert their abilities SO that
this company will be one of the best
of it's kind on this post.
Along with seeing that we get the
best of military training, Capt.
HaWkinson also is desirous that we
have a good recreational program.
1t. Monroe, our Special Service Of
ficer, is directly responsible for this
part of our army life. Lit. Monroe
has already begun putting his plans
into action. A basketball team has
been organized and as yet is unde-
feated. The team is coached by Rob-
ert "Stick" Powell, of the world.

chestra is in the making and a

We wish to invite you to be pres

ties of this company.

Hats off to our WACs for the role
they played in "GI. Rhapsody" The
show went over in a big way. I saw
it twice and am ready to see it

against Darlan and with taking 1t,
now, in the fight against Italian
Fascists still in power. AS q matter
Of fact, the Communists were rela-
lively uninterested In the fight
against Darlan, and are not inter-
ested at all In the fight against
Badoglio. Some American liberals,
like Mr.. Willkie, have been inter-
ested in these struggles, but not
the Communists.
And 50 have been called q Com
munist by the Hearst press because
of an unflattering reference to the
King OF Italy. The funny thing is
that If had deliberately set out to
follow the Communist line, would
not have been called a Communist
at all.
What whopper this situation Is
I have long been struck by how
really uninterested in Communism
the loudest opponents Of Commu-
nisn are. They are mainly inter-
ested In fighting down some Of
the New Deal agencies and laws,
ETC., and in killing of some of the
Willkie-type Of ideas on a liberal
and democratic peace.
Called Inferior Reporting.
And this Is not the first time that
they have not even bothered to find
out what the Communist line is be-
fore afrixing the Communist label,
a lapse which is, to say the least,
inferior reporting. And so Krock,
ct al, are In a fighting tizzy on a
question of foreign policy against
Communists who are In full agree
ment with them.
The Hearst press has even dug up
out of Mr.. Dies files the fact that
I was once a member OF a front"
organization, the League of Ameri-
can Writers. So I was. And I led
the nom Communist members out of
1t, in New York City, in the spring
OF 1910, after many hot debates,
because 1t would not support the
war against Hitler. I think Mr.. Dies
ought to add that fact to his files.
II he checks further, he will find
that the leagues official attitude
toward the war, at that time, was
1solationist, and usn't it wonderfully
not very different from Hearst's.
And this whole great big thing
started because I called the King
of Italy a moron. 4
