been waging q losing, but none the
less inspired battle against the
shackles Of propaganda for years.
This story involves Joachim Cots

telligent and hardest working actors.

stealer, and made his way to fame
strictly against the viii Of the Prop
uganda Ministry, which deprived
him Of all publicity In film maya.
Zines and newspapers. The reason
the handsome young actor was
disliked by the authorities was the
fact that he was married, and
happily married, to 9 full-blooded
Jewess, and repeatedly refused sug-
gestionS from the Nazis to divorce
his wife and enjoy q smoother rise
to fame. AS the war proceeded.
Gottschalk's popularity grew In
Germany, for he seemed to have
q knack Of getting good roles in
strictly on-propaganda Aims, which
irked the Nazis all the more. with
Paula Wesley he made the biggest
box-off1ce hit Of the first year of
the war, Elm Leben lang. The aim
was truly excellent and with It,
GottSchalk first won fame In coun-
tries outside the German sphere Of
influence to which the flln was ex-
ported. With Brigitte Honey he
made another truly good Aim, Das
Maedchen Won Fanae, then played
the role Of Hans Christian Ander-
sen in Die Schwedische NachtigalI,
which made him perhaps the most
popular actor in Germany. When
the arlti-Jewish campaign was be-
gun, Goebells presented Gottschalk
with an ultimatun; he was becom.
ing a German institution, he had
qualified inadvertently as good pro-
paganda, and he must divorce his
wife, or he would be banned from
his profession for evermore. Cots
chalk promptly refused to leave his
wife, and the half-Jewish child she
had borne him. So he was informed
that, regardless Of his decision, he
could no longer live with his pollut-
ed family: the Gestapo gave his
wife and child one day to pack and
Join the Jewish exodus to the East.
Gottschalk was not to be permitted
to 60 with them.
On the appointed evening, the
Gestapo invaded the Gottschalk
home to put an end to this I'M
bearable Rassenschande. They found
the family there waiting, but II was
dead. Ten minutes before they came,
Gottschalk had killed his child, his
wife and himself. The story spread
over Berlin like wildf1re. The Arts.
tenweIt was incensed and 1t was said
that there was nearly q revolt in
the Aim studios. German women
who, in legions Of millions, had cried
their eyes dry at Gottschalk play
ing war-cripple in Elm Leben
lang, were Mortified. DR.. 0oebells
and Herr Himmler had under-esti-
mated the fiber Of their hlm-hero,
If they had not under estimated the
breadth Of his popularity. People
said, in one Of those little quips
that circulate faster than news
papers, Gottschalk killed himself,
but he was not the only eminent
suicide that day; the other was
Goebbels.

WHAT WE DO
 AND SEE
as told by the 1st A/B-
 PFC. H. JERNIGAN

We'll, this is the second install ment on our self-promised debt to submit our excuses for livin' to the Bradley BEAM" for it's week l ly publication.
 It has just been learned by us that we have an entertainer Ill our mids-a comedian. No kiddin'. It's our Acting First Sergeant, SSgt. Neal DeStefano-pronounced with the accent after the "n". It seems the Special Service Department has been doing it's best to induce him to cooperate with them. But though he's the handsome, dark-Wavy- haired type, he is also shy-es- pecially on this subject. In fact, we can't even persuade him to per form for us, his bosom pals O..

The picture stands about 1 F x 2 feet high, and takes up practically all the space that's left in the barracks after our projectionist, Pfc. Cassaro, gets in. (Pfc.

In this bout, Buddy knocked Champion Joe out of the ring but the Brown Bomber came on to win when Buddy was disqualified in the 7th round. In a subsequent bout in New York's Madison Square Gar den, Buddy was a victim of the Louis fists in the first round.

REMARKS OUT OF A CAPSULE

The Capsule on the last prescrib- ed dose was never taken apparent ly; we wish it never to happen again. The cure of anything is only effected if the routine is closely followed. Doses in the future will b adhered to as prescribed.
 The mail arriving at the hospital daily is in excess to any unit on the Field; perhaps this is due to the type of correspondence received by some of the enlisted personnel. It once week. The prturbing factor, write en6 receive a letter, as rule, daily; the old ones make an effort though, is when men like George once a week. The perturbing factor, Eckert get six letters from the same address in around sixty hours. What has anyone to say that would cause such heroic effort is diff cult to understand; even a proposal is more precise than that. The last thought occurs to us in the form of bewilderment as to who is ask ing whom. Eckert is such quiet boy.
 Meadie Willis is around in his red robe these days looking fine; for that we're we'll pleased. The only tent most of us have ever slept un- der was pup tent and we're sure the idea of an oxygen tent would certainly be novelty while we were in good health but much need ed if we were feeling really low. Thus, Willis, we are pleased you can sleep out under an open ceiling again-keep it up old boy.
 Fishermen are not the only ones who exaggerate story (every ex- perience is embellished to some de- gree) but this recording of a story is the first time we ever hard of a

 There are sixty shopping days before Xmas hnd Barney Fried man is a Christmas baby.
 Each and every one of us have had days-part of our past, that to us were history (red letter days). To given few October 23 will take its place along with the best of them. Gus Arminio's long ride, Bis salons and Lauricella's double date in two States, Stephens trousers with not so much the blood of bat tie as seat well smeared. They're all memories. With each retelling they will grow in fame and fable until the myth has been written Roger! what myths. So we can't help but feel that October 23 was a GREAT night.
 Morning, noon and night one hears about Buster =Quin. In the still of the night suddenly there is rumble of a barracks box, then the shuffiing of feet and in hoarse whisper: Buster Quin." We listen for a while, then in the silence someone tip-toes down the aisle and to bed. The roster contains no Bus ter Quin; perhaps he is cousin of somebody's. The other morning one of the men carrying the mail drop ped some letter and in loud voice calculated. Buster Quin!" The WACs in the office turned to get a look at the boy but the room was empty of strangers. We don't even know what rank he holds or how long he's been in the Service.

tory!, But back to the subject, one more point we'd like to stress, is that when Sgt. Losin starts looking at that beautiful picture, he starts drooling. Although he claims that it's caused from his very recent tonsilectomy, we have our own ideas.
 T/5 Arleo is beginning to fear slight case of black-mail is in store for him. It seems that one of those dumb -and-easy" blondes kinda forgot to tear up some of those sweet nothings he wrote "away back when.'' And believe us, he can really spread it on thick. But don't let it worry you, Corp oral. You're in the Army now, so let the Army do the worrying for you.
 We'll, enough of this stuff and nonsense. We'll hope for more in teresting topics for next weeks in stallment. Until then, this is the 1st A/B, getting serious for a mo- ment to remind you that "A slip of the lip may sink a ship" and chances are-you might be on that ship. Be Wise-Keep Mum.

L.DIRTF FROM D
By PFC. RALPH HOWARD


 All you soldiers who want your T.S. cards punched on time please see Pfc. Willis Hart. Willis has now been selected (by the men in his barracks) Acting Chaplain. He is doing a great job, men. So you with troubles on your shoulders (and you with just plain GI trou- bles) be sure and see Willis.
 During our inspection Saturday there was one man who received special mention by our co. This soldier, who is always an outstand- ing soldier, was Sgt. Sampson. The part of the inspection that espe- cially impressed Captain Ievinson was the footlocker inspection. Sgt. Sampson's locker was arranged just as one should be, and could have passed inspection by any inspecting General. Sgt. Sampson has also spent some time in the Navy. And so we nominate Sgt. Sampson as Soldier of the Week in Detach- ment D."
 Cpl. Buckley is spending his three day pass in New York City with his wife. He was one happy soldier when he got that pass.
 
 It. John c. Doughty, IT,, It. Louis Kunin and It. John Rainey, IT,, were recently transferred to Detachment "D." Each is very capable Officer in his line of duty and we are proud to have them with us. It is going to take good teamwork between both Officers and EM to make this a GOOD out fit. And so on behalf of the men in our Detachment, we would like to welcome you new Officers to De- tachment "D."
 If you should want to know where to go and what to do on your passes, just see Pfc. H. Klein. He can give you very valuable advice. He will probably tell you to stay away from Waterbury, Conn.,, though. Tell us Klein, what do you have in Waterbury? Huh?
 We have a very happy S/Sgt. ln Detachment ID" this past week and his name is Crownover. The req son for this is that he has just passed his physical for Aerial Gun ner. Sgt. Crownover has already visited some of the theatres of war and he is raring to get back into action.
