Bradley Booby Traps

Believe it or not there are scores of booby traps scattered through out Bradley Field, in the buildings, among working tools and equip ment.
 They are not the ordinary ex- plosive type planted by the enemy. Usually they are innocently set by ourselves through carelessness. In spite of their innocent nature, they can be just as vicious, causing sev- ere injuries or even death to the person caught by one.
 That innocent looking spot of oil on the floor may mean a bad fall resulting in a severe spinal injury. If the trapped person happens to have a screwdriver in his hip pock- ct, and many mechanics do in spite of warnings to the contrary, the point may be driven into his back.
 The simple "coke" bottle left on the floor or on a ledge, shelf or plane may be another source of a fall; or falling itself, the broken glass may cost the sight of an eye.
 The section of cowling left lying on the fuselage or wing, if blown off by the wind or dislodged other wise, can cause a severe injury to the person struck.

cedure, which have exceeded 2,0OO in a comparatively short time, have been processed and approved.
 Under the procedure, qualified men from all other arms, with a few exceptions among certain spe- cialists, may make written request through military channels to The Adjutant General, giving name, grade, age, Army serial number, organization, military occupational specialist and specification serial numbers. Commanders of units or installations to which the enlisted man is assigned will certify as to physical qualifications and forward the requests to The Adjutant Gen. eral, with those forwarding the requests confining any remarks to recommendations regarding the merits of the case. Details of the voluntary transfer plan are set forth in War Department Circular No. 132, dated April 1914.

tools if not used properly will cause broken bones by slipping from the work and throwing the user off bal ance.
 The simple" scratch, cut or bruise if not given proper and immediate attention can cause serious and permanent injury through infec- tion.
 One could go on and on and enumerate hundreds of examples of such hazards, many of which will cause an accident. However, it usually is not the obvious hazard that will result in an accident be- cause the person usually is aware of the danger and takes the proper precautions. Certainly no one would think of smoking while draining gasoline from a plane.
 It is the hidden hazard or booby trap that usually gets the unwary worker. Try and recognize them and correct the fault even though it may not affect you directly. Someone else may not see it and will be injured.
 Beware of booby traps and if you see one neutralize it and may be save pal from injury.

CONTROL BOARD
By SGT. FRED COUNSEL

Everyone is happy over the sue cess of the Squadron Picnic at Lake Congamond and several ex- pressions of appreciation were overheard. Said one EM, 'I have never had better time at any Squadron party in the Army" Said another" A swell dance floor and swell crowd" Quoth another, '"The Bradley dance band was right in the groove" Added a Wac, "We mad the best time ever" They can say that again! but. if they say anything about Pfc. Rackis it may dampen his spirit. Rackis was boat ing so languidly, in the bark named "AWOL." Suddenly. he was cer- tain he saw a Nazi submarine be- low surface and in his anxiety to identify it lost his balance and went overheard. Poor Rackis! He still wasn't convinced that the sub was fish and over he went again. He must have been thirsty. Sgt. Joe Bindas barred his inhibitions and gave a wonderful dance of the jitterjives and evidently felt com pletely clothed in that improvised South Sea grass skirt. Aloha Joe! Sgt. Bam Badaukas and Sgt. Virginia Smith of 'EThe Battle of Bradley" fame, gave out with their twinkley toes and moved to the center of the stage, pleasing Sgt. Nick Campriello no end. Pvt. Joe Steinback and Cpl. Mack Iworsley were grinning like Cheshire Cats over their numbers and the lovelies Honey" and "Dotty" ate up those two military dashies! We didn't know whether to expect Pvt. Colin or not (gas rationing), but there he was with his attractive wife serving those delicious morsels and smiles up in the pine groves. All the lady folk received colorful pa per streamers on sticks ("techni- color mops" MD for chasing fresh young things away. This afforded wonderful "pertecshun" on the dance floor. A streamer in the face meant avaunt the wolf! We will always have happy memories of our days at Bradley and of "Okla- homa" that T/Sgt. Ward sings all the time. He's gone about as far as he can go.
 The variety musical on Thursday with the Bradley Field Band, un- der the direction of W/O Pittet and Sgt. Jim Luddy as master of cere- monies, was a pleasant diversion from ordinary musicals. The band stand with the paper decorations lent colorful importance to the occasion. Both hepcats and long hairs enjoyed the fine performance.
 The odor of honeysuckle was so wonderful on the range the other day that Pvt. Ausby Lee just couldn't hit the bulls-eye.
 A special invitation has been sent out for a certain pair of shoes to meet a certain pair of class X khaki pants.

NAzIS HIT BACK HARD
 IN FRANCE
F our Armored Divisions Thrust Against Amer
 iean Forces Today

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE ALLIED ExPEDITIONARY FORCES, Aug. T. The Germans late today struck the most furious counter blows at the Americans since D-Day. shooting four armored divisions to depth of three miles into the thinnest Allied coastal strip east of Avranches.
 The counterattack is described in frontline dispatches as the most concentrated the Germans have yet made in France and is apparently aimed at outflanking four American spearheads pointing dangerous near Paris, and at separating Bradley's American forces in Brittany and the British forces north of Normandy.
 The Germans in the first rush re- captured Mortain, cutting the road behind the most advanced Bradley spearhead at Dimfront where it is aimed at Paris, 140 miles away. The Americans still hold the high ground around Mortain, however, as the German thrust met hurricane fire from hundreds of guns of the Allied air forces that had Hate afternoon field day"
 The German counte2at5acks were on a one-mile front from Mortain to Sour de Val to the north in an area of about 20 miles from the sea.

The W ashing ion Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON 1t Col Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON . War Depa t. ment officials are much concerned over the way the Germans have been treating American prisoners. Reports from exchanged American prisoners reveal conditions in Ger man war camps unspeakably bad One prisoner, recently returned from Oflag Camp No. GA in oc- cupied Poland, reports that the diet given American prisoners is as follows:
 Breakfast-Nothing (served with water if you want it.)
 Lunch-A bowl of thin soup and one thin slice of black bread (oc- casionally. mouldy and invariably stale.)
 Supper-Two potatoes.
 These reports disclose that, if it were not for the food packages supplied every week or ten days by the Red Cross. prisoners could not live. As it is, most are re- ported suffering from malnutrition.
 One American prisoner, trying to describe conditions through the Nazi censor, wrote on post card : Food is plentiful and good They treat us fine. We have no com plaints. Everybody is happy. Don't forget to tell this to Sweeney"
 While American boys are living on potatoes and water, German war prisoners. in the US. A. are ac- corded the best of treatment, mini mum of work, good clothing, food and shelter They are even per- mitted their own camp newspapers, are generally accorded entertain ment and almost luxurious treat ment.
 NOTE-German relatives of Am erican citizens used to evade cen- sorship by letters similar to that of the U. S. war prisoner One such letter said: everybody is very well over here now. Anna is well, Esther is well, and so is Josephe, but Grandmother is hap piest of all." Grandmother had been dead for five years.

ROME, Aug 2. = Big Ger m n shells continued to land on the southern portions of Florence which are in Allied hands, but Alexander's headquarters said that there will be no need of the city itself be- coming battlefield
 The Allied communique said that South African troops made contact with the enemy on the north banks of the Arno River within Florence. The Allied spokesman explained, however, that we have not yet had more than reconnais- sance patrols over the river and these have returned"
 Strengthening American artillery men and mortar crews enlivened the relatively quiet Fifth Army front by knocking out number of enemy mortar positions across the lower Arno.
 The Allied command said that more than 50,OOO prisoners have been taken by the Fifth and Eighth Armies in the offensive from Cas- sino to Florence. The total might have been higher but for Kessel- rings decision to blow up For ence's bridges.

OIL PLANTS HIT
 IN BIG RAID
Planes Smash Vital Fac tories in Reich During
 Widespread Attacks

LONDON, Aug. 7--More than 800 United States heavy bombers today blasted at two synthetic oil plants in the Reich, and from 800 to 750 Liberators and Fortresses struck at vital targets over wide area in France.
 The Fifteenth Air Force sent it's heavyweights from Mediterranean bases to Blechhamer. IS miles south- east of Breslau, where they scored hits on two plants that produce much of the German Army's high grade motor fuel. The Germans threw up smoke screens, intercept ors, and air guards at the planes, but the bombers fought through and dropped their loads visually or by instrument.
 Another force of Liberators, roaring over the Balkans, pounded the enemy airfield at Alibunaer, 2l miles northeast of the Belgrade oil installations on the Danube.
 At Nova Sad, northwest of Bel grade, a big force of heavy Amer ican bombers from British bases bombed fuel tanks, depots, bridges, and railway functions.
 In France, an equal number of Lightnings, Thunderbolts and Mus tangs guarded bombers striking at targets in areas east and northeast of Paris, southeast of Bordeaux, and in the Amiens region.
 Today's assaults followed a Royal Air Force heavy bomber raid last night on the rail junction at Haze hrouck. south of Dunkeque. The Berlin radio said that planes from the south are also hitting German targets.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. IT. The curtain has dropped for the last time on one of the most famous but one of the most terrible acts in the gaslit opera house days, when Fife Cherry, last of the fam ous Cherry Sisters, died in a nursing home. She suffered broken hip last spring and failed to rally.
 Fife was left lonely old woman when her sister and stage partner, Addie, died October 25, 1942, at the age of 83.
 Nobody knows exactly how old Fife was. She always turned aside all queries as to her age to remark: q aint a-sayin'."

FORCES OF BRADLEY IN
 FAST MOVE
Baftering Ram Is Aimed at French CdpifdI-vire
 Is Captured

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE ALLIED ExPEDITIONARY FORCES, Aug. 7.--American patrols have reached Confront. broadening to 50 miles the front for Bradley's new battering ram that is aimed at Paris, 140 miles away, which the Geramns are reported evacuating.
 The British troops. on two-mile front, have cut the wedge across the Orne River in a new threat from the northeast against Paris, driving into the western fringes of the Cinglais Forest.
 The British threatened to outflank the German defenses on the vital Caen hinge" The cut is deep be- hind the enemy's gun bristling de- fense arc facing the Caen line from May sur Orne eastward through Rocouan Court, Tilla la Champagne, LaHouge and Vimony.
 Other Allied troops took Wire, the Germans last real anchor in west ern Normandy. The fall of this major communication center. which has been seriously defended for weeks by the Germans, has opened the way linking the initial Nor. mandy cleanup with the new drive eastward from Brittany.
 American troops are now closer to Paris than they were week ago to Brest at the top of Berton Pen- insula.
 Advanced spearheads of the Ann erican forces are now tightening a stranglehold on the doomed Nazi gar-. rison at Brest, one of the five great ports on the peninsula.
 Headquarters confirmed reports the German garrison at the naval submarine port at Lorient has asked to surrender to the onrushing Am- ericans but gave no additional in- formation regarding the ports of St. Nazaire and Nantes, other potential gateways for Allied reinforcements and supplies. now almost within grasp of the steam-rolling American armor and infantry teams. if they have not already been entered.
 American troops are on the ap- breaches to St. Malo. fifth port on the north Breton coast.
