ASSIGNMENT IN SICILY

Unsung U. S. heroes who contrib
uted heavily to Mussolini's down.
fall were Italian-American boys
smuggled into Sicily several weeks
before U. S. troops landed.
How they got ashore must remain
a military secret. But the fact that
they got there is now recognized as
a part of military operations, just
as the advance landing of Lieut..
Gen. Mark Clark in North Africa,
carrying bags of U. S. gold.
These Italian Americans were
especially trained in the dangerous,
delicate job of winning over mill
tary garrisons in advance of land
ing force. In Sicily they had the
advantage of speaking the language
and being able to visit the homes
of their relatives, few of whom loved
Mussolini. From there they were
able to work around to various mill
tary leaders.
It has long been known that Ital-
ian military leaders were of two
types. One is the professional SOL
dier like Field Marshal Badoglio,
who was in the army before Musso-
Ini's time and has no love for the
Fascists. Also he has no love for
the Nazis, and so was not too diff
cult to win over to the Allied side.
Other type of Italian military lead
ers is the Fascist Blackshirt, who
rose through favors from II Duce,
but who usually is susceptible to
coin of the realm. Presumably U. S.
advance scouts were supplied with
what General Clark took with him in
advance into North Africa.
AT any rate, expert advance work
by patriotic Italian-Americans, plus
the popularity of the United States
In Sicily, contributed to one of the
most bloodless landing expeditions
In history.
Also the psychological shock of
the headlong U. S. rush through Sic
ily was what toppled Mussolini off
his thorny throne.

An hour later, I decided to take
casual look at the boiler. When
I opened the furnace-room door, a
blast Of strong brownish smoke
struck me to the ground. I lay
there for several minutes, tapping
my forehead thoughtfully, while
more smoke poured out.
When it still hadn't slackened aft
er five minutes, I crawled under
the layer of smoke to the boiler.
There the sickening vapor was,
pouring nonchalantly through clinks
in the door.
Don't come telling me about it."
said Sergeant ma" Davidson.
Take out the pipes and clean them.
All of them"
I had to see the top sergeant to
get my instructions. When I re-
turned to Sergeant Davidson I was
happy again.
MA" I told him, "the top kick
says for you to supervise the job"
The sergeant was furious with rage
and Illustration. grabbed a screw
driver and he grabbed Private Dow
ner, who had a black mark by his
name for not wearing his identifca-
ton tag. The three of us started
work.
First, put out the fire in the boiler.
Shake it down, throw ashes on it.
It still burns. Shake it down more,
throw sand on it. Still burns. Close
the bottom door, shake it down
more, throw ashes and sand on it.
Curse it. After too long, it dies.
The man who devised the system
for connecting an indoor boiler and

stuffed with oily SCOT.
Unscrew pipe, lift it gently, coax
it from it's socket. Easy does it.
Careful there. When you have it
almost out, inhale for your sigh of
relief. Crash! The whole network
of pipes bounces off the floor scat
tering ashes and SCOT over half the
battery area.
After half an hour of scrubbing
and wiping the interior regions of
all the pipes, they're ready to 60

The sergeant yelled out of the win
dow at me, so dropped my broom
and went upstairs.
Five PAGES away, he turns for a
parting shot. "Blabbermouth!" he
snorts.
I suppose he's good to his mother,
though.
The sergeant yelled out the win
dow at me, so dropped my broom
in the battery street and went up
stairs. He was sitting on the foot

CHAPTER Nv

Selectee Joseph C. Can't, late of
Liberty, South Carolina, came out
for reveille this morning with grin
you could have used for foot rule.
He held both his arms against the
front of his shirt in a queerly
strained posture and blushed happi-
ly every time someone looked at
him.
''The heats got the boy" I told
Gene Shumate. Looks like the best
ones always go first"

amt no hot water. There amt even
no fire. Throw the bum out"
I grinned weakly as reported to
the supply sergeant for work. ''You
must be that nice Sergeant Thomas
w. Israel I've heard so many nice
things about"
mo, little man." he said. 'I'm
the nice Sergeant Israel you've been
running your loud mouth about. I'm
the nice sergeant who always gives
you the wrong clothing sizes and
hides your laundry and does all
those awful things you've been tell
ing about me-"
$50 help me, sergeant" I pro-
tested. 81 never named thee but to
praise. Somebody's been trying to
poison your mind against me-"
81 am also the nice sergeant" he
said, ''who is going to let you earn
your seventy cents today. Take off
your fatigue blouse, my man, and
prepare to sweat. Today we make
progress. We are going to unpack
rifles"
It seems to me that when the
manufacturer prepares to pack
box of Army rifles, his cruel streak
comes out at its worst. From the
look of the rifles, he has his three
year-old daughter prepare COM
pound of molasses, pitch, and used
motor oil-the gooier the better. He
sings each gun into the resulting
mess, sloshes it around for a while,
and then lays it neatly into the box.
You use a swab about the size of
tablecloth to wipe the grease from
the rifle. When you're halfway
through the first rife, you have to
use the gun to wipe the grease from
the cloth. When you have finished,
you need a large coal shovel to
wipe the grease off yourself.
There is nothing so conducive to
itching as the inability to scratch.
Just when the molasses-pitch-axle
grease mixture covers your hand to
the, point where you can't see the
outlines of the fingers, that left nos
tril starts tingling. At first it itches
only little and you decide to suf-
fer it. So you don't wipe your hands
on the seat of your trousers. In
stead you pick up another rifle and
your hand sinks to the elbow in
the goo which wraps it. This is the
stage where your nose gets peevish
and impatient and decides to itch in
earnest.
Finally, you decide to give in. You
wipe your hands-an operation which
takes a good three or four minutes
for satisfactory results. You lift
your hand to scratch your nose, only
to find that your nose isn't itching
any more.
I was doing fairly well this morn
ing, even when you take the itch
into consideration, until the mess
sergeant happened to stroll by.
Hello, little man." he sings gaily,
with a horrible gleam in his eyes.
you've not been around to see me
for long time. Aren't mad, are
you?"
look at my hands, at the rifle, at
the old shoe, and at the mess SER
geant. I hold my tongue. Health
is wealth.
'We miss you terribly in the kitch-
en-" he COOS, "even when you go
gripping around that my food is the
worst in the Army. I just saw the
first sergeant and I asked him to let
you be KIP just as soon as he can
spare you. Oh, we're going to do
wonders to that kitchenware, you
and l."
He pats me on the forehead with
ominous tenderness and departs

After the French commander had

UNDER TWO FLAGS

The chickens hatched when Amer
lean ships were put under the Pana-
manian flag to avoid neutrality laws
are now coming home to roost.
AS a result, the U. S. government
now employs $1,000 seamen whom
it pays in hard cash every month,
but over whom it has no disciplinary
control whatsoever. The seamen are
working under the Panamanian flag,
though actually they are American
citizens. So when they get into
brawls in American ports, they must
answer to the Panamanian consul,
though they are American citizens
and draw American pay.
Certain state department officials
are urging that the problem be
solved by transferring the ships back
to U. S. registry.
Note: At present, when one of
these ships clears a U. S. port it
must pay a $40 fee to the consul of
Panama, In spite of the fact that
the ship belongs to the U.S.A.
