MOST INTERESTING =
SOLDIER =
BY SGT. r. ID. MASSEY *

In my opinion, the most interest
ing soldier in the 406th Ordnance
Medium Maintenance Company is
Corporal Philip Robinson, the mail
man. I am not saying that he is
the most interesting soldier because
he brings me letters from my girl
friend, I am saying this because
he is more than just a mail man.
He is good soldier, morale build
er, and not a gold brick
1t matters not what is said to him,
he has humorous answer to re-
turn. He talks more than any one
in the company; even the First Ser
geant. Cpl. Robinson is able to help
one with any problem. Some cases
have seen him teaching soldiers
how to win the women they love.
He can be called on to help in Per-
sonnel work or Supply and do a good
job because he is always dependable
Crporal Robinson was inducted
into the Army October 81, 1912, at
Fort George E. Mead, Maryland He
came to Fort Huachuca on October
27, 1912

The members of the SOU Medical
Detachment were recently the
thrilled audience of the USO Show
Trops. The show was presented in
the Detachment Recreation Hall to
an overflowing crowd of enthusiastic
Soldiers. The Medical Detachment

number of times by the USO Show

pleasant evening of entertainment
furnished by the USO Show Troops,
as well as appreciation to the Post
Special Service Unit, and Capt. Ora

the Sou Medical Detachment, for
arranging the show has been ex-
pressed by the entire Detachment.

37TH S. S. NOTES
By PVT. HOWARD JONES
and
PFC. JAMES p. MORGAN

y y n ~ -- ~ 4" -
On Wednesday and Thursday
nights, Sept 1st and End, the 37th
Special Service Company presented
gala musical and variety shows in
theaterS l and 2. The casts included
nearly the entire Company, and is,
to date, the largest enterprise at
tempted by the 9Th. 1t seems to be
he concensus of opinion that the
second performance far excelled the
first; but whether or not this is so,
the fact remains that the show was
great, and our boys really have
something to offer
The effectiveness of the costumes
and stage designs was particularly
impreSsing. The job of decoration
and lightning was handled eXpertly
by the prope men, and the bulk Of
the credit in that respect is due the
theatrical technicians. The actors
and dancers handled their lines and
cues in a manner that could have
drawn nothing but admiration from
the. crowd. The precarious position
in which Pvt. Charles Galloway, our
cavorting comedian, found himself,
had the audience holding it's sides
and bowling with glee
The musical interludes by the
Company orchestra and choral
group were particularly pleasing.
Pvt William o. Smiths composition
'Tired of Travelin'" sung by Pvt.
Browley Guy who wrote the lyrics
and the chorus under Pvt. John r.
Jones, was the musical highlight Of
the show. The band, with our old
friend Pvt. Vernon Isaacs waving
the baton, was literally rocking in
rhythm, and they gave out with sew
eral torrid jazz arrangements.
A musicale finale, led by Pinkey
Webster, our genial emcee, and Pvt.
Nyas Berry, dancing star of the
famous Berry Brothers, put the fin
ishing touches to a brilliant eve
ning's entertainment. And just in
case my saying so now will hasten
the event, I'll say the 37th is defi-
nitely on the way to the big time.

"OId Post Q. M. /"
BY PFC. JAMES M. BROWN

In reference to Company supplies
S/Sgt. Joseph R. Robertson of the
Post ON Det. is the man ''to whom
all voices speak" S/Sgt. Robertson
is known by all as "Ace," he is an
ace in his field of supplies. He might
be considered as the man behind the
man within the clothing.
Over year ago the writer came to
Fort Huachuca to find S/Sgt. Rober-
son dealing in supplies and an ace
at the game. You can see he is not
a beginner in this field
/Sgt. Robertson is>noted for his
eagerness and willingness to serve
the men of his Detachment at all
times under all circumstances. The
brains of a less coOl-headed man
would pop with the stress of IA
tigue or insanity. With a gimmy
gimmy here and there it takes
nerves and plenty of patience and
personally I believe S/Sgt. Robertson
has them Besides these qualities he
is highly intellectual and strives at
all times to keep abreast of the
rules and regulations governing the
field of supplies. Hail to S/Sgt. Jo-
Seph r. Robertson!
In this current baseball season
there has been Jealous feeling to-.
ward the SOU baseball team and
their magnificent record made on,
the field of play. The Post Quar-
teranasters of the Old Post, can be
specially rewarded in a two fold
fashion: that Of being boosters and
members of the great SOU. organi-
zation, and that of having as an
outstanding full time player one of
our members in the person of Pvt.
Nance Beasley.
Pvt. Nance BeaSley is the little
man that holds down the great posi-
ton of second baseman. AS a Sec
ond baseman Pvt. Nance Beasley
ranks with the outstandings of the
SOU team. He is a native of the
Lone Star State, Texas, and came
to Fort Huachuca, the Post Quar-
termasters, and the SOU baseball
team from Fort Francis E. Warren,
Wyoming.
AS you pass in and about the Post
you might wonder who it is that
keeps the grass on the large parade
grounds and other interesting places
moved to level that tend towards
the Identification of the scenic
sights of open spaces. Well, for a
tiny hint it is Pfc. Mack Lloyd
Cooper of the Post Quartermasters
who resides in the town of Langston,
Okla, being a graduate of Langston
University. Pfc. Mack Lloyd Cooper
with his John Deer mower drawn
by two steady mules can be seen
each day conscientiously at their
job of keeping the spacy grass Sec
tons easy on the eye.
Do You Know
Q) That Pvt. Edgar Brown of the
Post Quartermasters has had "a
years experience as an electrician
and Is years as a radio man before
entering Uncle Sans unit?
(2) Pvt. Booker Hart of the Post
Quartermasters was the sole pro-
prletor of a large restaurant in
Texas before entering the Army?
90 T/4th Verne o. Crawford of
the Post Quartermasters studied the
science of medicine for two years
before entering the service, also
worked number of years as a mail
clerk in the postal system of Chi
cago, ILL.,?

On Death Penalty for

On Measure Involving

2y tie Askociitad Preaa.

~ tGS d8ooC18too E1G1S.
Driving to clear the decks for 4
week or more Of debate on taxes
starting tomorrow, the House
tangled today with such widely d.
verSif1ed measures as one dealing
with wartime sabotage and another
affecting ceiling prices on farm
products.
More than two hours Of debate
yesterday walled to bring 4 deci-
sion on the War Security Act to
make death the penalty for certain
hostile acts against the United
States in time Of war.
Chairman Summers Of the Judi
ciary Committee which came up
with the legislation at the request
Of the Justice Department said he
was hopeful Of passage today, but
because Of the general feeling Of
suspicion that evidenced itself yes
terday. we may not get through
with it."
Debate Centers on Intent.
Most OF yesterdays debate CEN
tered around an amendment to pro-
vide that before penalties could be
invoked, 1t must be proved that the
offense was committed with wilful
intent to aid an enemy nation.
AS written, the legislation provides
that intent to aid the enemy shall
be the governing factor in prosecu-
tions, leaving out any reference to
wilfulness.
Without the amendment, some
members feared, the legislation
could be used to prosecute persons
who criticize the administration, or
who unwittingly do an act that
eventually results In comfort to the
enemy.
Representative Fish, Republican,
of New York said "hysterical
judges might use it to circumvent
constitutional guarantees Of freedom
Of speech and press.
Newspaper Exemption Amendment.
One pending amendment specifi-
cally would exempt newspapers CT
general circulation from provisions
Of q section defining as a hostile
act the acquisition. compilation or
transmission Of data calculated to
inform the enemy with respect to
the war effort Of the United Nations.
The farm legislation slated for a
vote today prohibits the deduction
Of Government benefit payments
from parity prices in determining
ceilings for farm products under the
1912 Price Control Act.
Backed by the farm bloc and
similar to legislation already ap-
proved by the Senate, the bill grew
out Of House Banking Committee
contentious that crop payments do
not enter into the element Of price
actually received for agricultural
products and should not be con-
sidered In fixing price ceilings. Pres
ent practice Is to consider benefit
payments as part Of agricultural
income.
