Hampered by prewar inertia at home, with
never enough money to spend, General Buck

stopped him. His dog-tired men hated bis

on. He was, they agreed, plenty man.
Today Alaska bristles with Notifications.
We've plenty to thank General Bucl<ner and
his men for.
The General was born in 1886. when his

in Alaska, for Alaskans are pretty good indi-
vidualists themselves but the General won
all the showdowns and now the citizens are
solidly behind him.
BY and large, the sourdoughs have de-
cided that General Buckner Twill do o
take along" and that's the hishsst
praise they can give anyone.
The verdict is no surprise to the Generals
contemporaries in the War Department. F0
80 years they've known his old-fashioncd

w in the Aleutian Islands last summer.
w delegation of Alaskan citizens
called at the headquarters of Major General
Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., chief of the
Alaskan Defense Command. They wanted to
know what he intended to do about it.
General Buckner wasn't in. The delegation
asked where he was. His orderly, drawing
Mississippi boy, scratched his head uncer-
tainly. We'll, now" he said. Il can't rightly
say. but l reckon wherever the Japs are at,
that's where you'll find the General"
That wasn't just wisecrack. A laconic
communique next day told of a smashing
bombart1ment of enemy positions, and it's
reasonably sure bet that the General was up
there pitching. That's the way he is.

Then there's another kind of general ~
- the rough tough, driving, roaring,
bulldog guy. To find him, you've got to 60
where the shootin' is. His pants are torn and
his shirt is sweaty and he's lost his tin hat
and he's happy as bull calf in blossom time.
Skinny Wainwright, of Bataan fame, was
that kind of general, and Simon Bolivar
Buckner. Jr.. is another.
Don't let that Junior" fool YOU The
General is S. years old. hard as hunk of
pig iron and built like a stone lighthouse.
His hair is white and close cropped and his
face, with its full, firm mouth and deep-set,
dagger-sharp eyes, is of that deceptive ruddi-
ness that gets pinker and pinker the more the
weather hammers at it.

he IS not quite six feet tall, but to meet him
the first time you think he's giant. That's
because he is broad. forceful and believing.
You can hear him mile in bowling bliz-

didn't hear what the General said. And every
man knows that he'll never be ordered where
the General, himself. wouldn't 60 first.
Said one of his hard-bitten aides one day:
1t isn't question of keeping ahead of him.
You can't even keep UP with him."
Buclner has the reputation of being one of
the finest tacticians and worst politicians in
the Amy. He never temporizes, never minoes
words, never lodges an issue He thinks the
fnst rule of warfare is to win the war, and he
r'des rough-shod over anything and anybody
who gets In the way. That trait got him into

NEW YORK, May S.-The New

first game of the season on their
home field today when the Philadel-
phia. Athletics backed up Russ
sChristopher's seven hit pitching
with a 14-hit attack that gave them
9-to-4 decision over the American
League champions. p FL
Until the Athletics opened up
their big guns in the third and
fourth innings, the champs had ac-
counted for eight straight in the
Yankee Stadium, the last five in a
row. Christopher was ricked for a
two-run homer by Bill Dickey in the
second inning, but the Mackmen
bounded back with five tallies off
Alley Donald and then picked four
more in the fourth before they were
squelched by Milkman Jim Turner.
Christopher also stopped Bill
Johnson's hitting streak after the
rookie third baseman had run it
to eight straight games.
Five singles and an error by Roy
Weatherly accounted for the Phila-
delphians' first cluster. Babe Sic
bert's double was the big blow of
the fourth as it cleaned the loaded
bases.
