Army Service Speeds
Career Of Artist
Now at Fort Myer
Soon Will Do Portrait
Of Byrnes; at Work
On Insurance Posters

Service in the Army is giving mo-
mentum to, rather than delaying
Pfc Benn Lichenthal's career as an
artist.
Stationed at Fort Myer as a chap
lains assistant. the private has
painted oil portraits of Brig. Gen.
William R. Arnold, chief of the
Army chaplain service: Col. Max
we'll Sullivan, commandant of Fort
Myer, and many of his fellow
soldiers Five of his paintings
portraits of Gen. Arnold and the
four previous chiefs of Army chap
lalns-have been hung in the NUM-
tions Building here.
Pfc. Lichenthal now is completing
arrangements to do a picture of
Economic Sterilization Director
James Byrnes. In addition. he's at
work producing posters to advertise
the Army's G. I. insurance.
Before he entered the service two
years ago Pfc. Lichenthal, known
professionally as Benn Lewis, was
commercial artist in Hollywood.
where he designed movie sets for
Warner Bros. and conducted a life
class for the creators of the Porky
Pig animated cartoons.
Among previous interesting por-
trait assignments were paintings of
AL Smith and James r. Cromwell
and crayon of Bing Crosby.
When he changed civilian clothes
for khaki Artist Lewis expected he
wouldn't be able to do much work
with his paint brushes for the dura~
ton. But the Army assigned him to
Fort Jackson. S. c.. where he was
sent out with sketchlng materials to
make an artistic record of the 56th
Signal Battalion on maneuvers.
At Fort Jackson he did 34-by-36
inch Oil painting for the chapel
Titled Defense of Man. the oil
showed q soldier kneeling in PRAYER
on battlefield surrounded by
smoke. fire, barbed wire and a field
gun, as the visionary figure of Christ
watched over him in the back
ground. The work was exhibited
for year with the Army War Show
and prints were distributed last
Mothers Day to members of the
l28th Field Artillery.

Two Washingtonians
Are Rescued After
Subs Sink Ships
One Has Had Three
Vessels Find Trouble
With Him Aboard

Charles r. Lassiter. 18. and w B.
Brown, %, seamen, first class. who
were members of United States Navy
Armed Guard crews aboard two
merchant vessels torpedoed in the
North Atlantic, recently arrived at
British port safely after having
been rescued from stormy seas by
British destroyers.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. ANNA Las
sitter, 4039 Gault place NE. Lassiter,
former Navy Department driver,
manned gun aboard a freighter
before it was attacked.
The convoy in which his ship was
sailing had first been attacked the
previous day. During the second
attack one torpedo flashed by the
vessel 20 yards of the bow but an
other crashed into the starboard
side.
Browns 10 months service in the
Navy has been so beset with mishaps
he is beginning to feel he's a jinx.
Brown. like Lassiter. spent two
hours on lifeboats and RATS in the
Atlantic after his ship was torpe-
doed by Nazi U-boat.
The freighter was the third ship
on which Brown, who is the son of
Mrs. L. T. Hirst, 1903 Thirty first
street, Mount Rainier Md, had seen
service and the third TO run into
trouble. Ordered first to duty
aboard vessel which collided with
another off New York. his next ship
tanker ran aground and broke in
half during storm off the Atlantic
Coast.

many marines have become familiar
in their travels.
British currency is the standard
of exchange. Newly arrived marines
must familiarize themselves with
the British monetary system. as
transactions at the Base Post Ex-

he is paid at the exchange rate of

The coupon-lke appearance of local

Coins are referred to as big pen

"tupence,' "na'penny,' or tire

Of the number Of planes available

For blasting an invasion path
operating on the short trans-chan-
mel haul, each bomber could make
three or four round trips every "a
hours during the initial invasion
phase, carrying about twice as many
bombs as logged against the long
distance German targets.
Thus the Royal Air Force heavy
bombers which are delivering more
than 1000 tons Of bombs in the
Ruhr attacks could deliver probably
10000 tons every "a hours against
an invasion bridgehead-Eight times
heavier than the heaviest attacks
the Germans have yet felt. The
same holds true for flying fortresses.
With cooperating medium bombs,
1t is evident the Allies can deliver
against the Calais coast something
like $4,000 tons OF bombs every "a

plosives and incendiaries.

BY HARRISON SALISBURY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press StaR Correspondent
London, June IA. CUP)-The last
vestiges of doubt Of the Allies abil-
ity to blast their way into Europe
from the west and northwest have
been shattered by the demonstra-
ton Of air power in the Mediter-
ranean.
This does not mean that Allies
are likely to take off for France,
Norway or Holland tomorrow-or,
as far as it appears now, at any
time in the immediate future.
But it does mean the Allies now
are confident the air arm Is capable
Of decorating the way through Nazi
coastal defenses and blowing bomb
burrows straight across Europe into
the heart of the Reich.
Allied strategists undoubtedly are
revising and coordinating plans in
the light Of lessons learned in
Tunisia and over Pantelleria and
Lampedusa by the airmen operating
under Lieut.. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz.
There is increasing belief that an
Allied generalissimo charged with
migrating the many-sided often
sive against Europe will be APP
pointed soon. Speculation continues
to center on Gen. George G. Mar
shall, U. S. Chief Of Staff, with Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, suggested
as a possibility.
The Allied air victories in the
Mediterranean were achieved with
what amounted to second string
