GEN. IKE

SAGA. After the war a new Ameri-
can legend is going to take shape.
Builders of the legend will be Allied
soldiers and war correspondents who
can say: II once heard Ike Eisen-
hover tell this -"
If their memory of what General
Eisenhower said is correct, the story
will be worth hearing. For the Cen
eral spins a good yarn. What is
more, he tells his stories with pu-
pose: to make point or to smooth
away friction. Abe Lincoln did the
same thing.
In the collection of this writer
are two anecdotes the General told
at Allied Force Headquarters dur
ing the Tunisian campaign. The
occasion was press conference for
war correspondents.
The anecdotes were designed to
further the remarkable teamwork
of the Allied forces under his COM
mand, that teamwork which is one
of his greatest achievements.
DIPLOMAT. At that time Ameri-
can resentment still fingered be-
cause Vichy French troops had
opposed our landing. Well aware of
that, Eisenhower illustrated the
attitude of the true French patriots
with this story:
An American soldier, being enter
tanned by a French family m Oran.
was shown their new baby for, said
the parents, a very special reason.
''She was born the day your army
landed, so we have christened her
America"
The Generals second story was
apropos of the difficult capture by
Americans of Tunisian hill.
In telling it, he turned to the Brit

One day he located needed rankshaft
in Cheyenne, but the man who had it
wouldn' release it. Bill wired Washington.
Just like that, and an hour later he had
reply. So did the man in Cheyenne. And
Bill got the rankshaft in hurry. The
War Department probably never heard OF
Bill until that telegram arrived; but Bill
has a forceful way of saying things, even
by wire He gets things done.
a YEAR ago Bill had two helpers, but
they are now in the Army Air Force. Bill
wanted to 60, too, but he was turned down
for age and bad eyes. He sulked about that
for week; then he realized that he had
war job right there in his own dooryard.
Now he works Air Force hours, or longer.
The day saw him he was up at 2:3O

ing" They're all his trucks while they're
in his territory - his to keep rolling.
And after they get out of his territory?
Well. there's another Bill somewhere down
the line. That's the heartening thing about
this America of ours: we may have our
share of slacke1s and chiselers, but we also
have our tens of thousands of Bills.

best of all, but you will find his brothers
and cousins all over the country. helping
to roll the freight and troop trains, keeping
the buses moving. servicing the transport
planes, turning the factory wheels. They're
the fellows who made it possible to start
from scratch and get into high gear in
time to give the Axis more of fight than
it ever dreamed of - and to stay in high
gear. They get things done - right.
Dill doesn't say these things. He just
does his job, and he laughs when an "A"-
card driver gripes because Bill can't find
time to patch a tire for him in hurry.
And he does his own share of gripping,
when he thinks about how they turned
him down for the Air Force. But found
this little item in Bills hometown news
paper the other day:
An airplane on liaison mission from
Peterson Field at Colorado Springs to
McCook, Neb., was forced down on the
Millard farm south of town Friday
morning with engine trouble. Bill
M was called and repaired the
motor, after which the plane took off
for McCook.
Yes, you'll find Bill down at his garage
- maybe. He's in and out a good deal,
these days.

UVHEY told me would find Bill down
at his garage - maybe. Hes in and
- out a good deal, you know" hadn't
known. The last time I'd seen Bill was five
years ago, though I'd known him ever
since he was a nuisance in knee pants.
A car rolled up just as reached Bills
shop and a stranger hoped out, thanked
the driver and shouted to somebody
sprawled under rancher's truck: ''Hey,
Bill! We just threw rod. four miles west.
And we've got load of plane parts"
Bill was Tightening the last two bolts
on a crankcase. What you driving this
time?" he asked, still under the car.
The stranger told him. Bill put the last
bolt home and crawled out, tall. thin,
oil-stained man of 49, He asked with
grin, Got spare rod with you?"
''Nope And none in Denver"
Bill sighed, went to the telephone on
the shelf IN a corner and told the local
operator to get him number in Kansas
City. Then he filled the dankcase he had
been working on. started the motor, lis
tened to it critically. and drove the truck
outside and parked it. His call came
through, and in two minutes he knew there
wasn't a connecting rod of the size he need
ed m the Kansas City area. Before he hung
up he told the operator to get Omaha.
OAAIIA didn't have any either, and the
search began. He called North Platte,
Cheyenne, Pueblo, Salt Lake City; and
while he waited for the calls. he patched
an inner tube, welded fender brace, SOL
desed leaky gasoline tank.
Finally he located two rods in Ogden
and ordered them sent out at once by air
express. You'll be rolling by midnight"
he told the truckman.
That's the way Bill does things, out
there in that fyspeck of town ON the
plains of Eastern Colorado. And the truck
ers who roll through there. taking up the
slack of the over -bwdened railroads, know
it. If they have trouble, they call Bill.
One night truck broke down ten miles
out just after midnight The driver routed
Bill out and he went to work on the phone
He located part in Denver that would do.
There wasn't a train for eight hours, 50
Bill borrowed the drivers invoice slip,
got in his car and was in Denver, 12O miles
away. just two hours and fifteen minutes
later. A highway patrolman tagged him
down on the trip back, then shooed him
on his way when he saw the invoice slip.
And six hours after the breakdown, that
ruckload of strategic parts was rolling.

ish correspondents and officers and
grinned that heart-warming grin of
his as if to say that this was to be
kidding such as only best friends
use toward one another. He said:
Perhaps we got that hill from
the Germans because they ran out of
ammunition. That's how you peo-
pie took Bunker Hill from U.S."
Certainly one reason why Ameri-
cans and British understand each
other in the 1905, as they never
were able to in the 177O's, is a man
named Eisenhower.
