things looked better. American
tanks were coming. and it was
Just a matter of holding out
few hours.
When the rescuing force came
within sight, you can imagine
how Steever and the rest felt
they could see the tanks COM
ing. arranged in a gigantic V,
moving down the valley.
"And then" Steever said,
German tanks appeared, some
on each side, and some behind.
and we had a ring side seat. on
top Of the hill, for tank fight"
The fight lasted all afternoon
and the Americans knocked out
more German tanks than the
Germans did ours. only" said
Steever. they had a lot more
to start with, and by that night
not one of our tanks was left.
There were $50 tanks on fire.
More were German than Amer
lean, but there were still some
Germans left :"
NEXT morning the Germans
~ came after them. II was a
one-Sided fight and there wasn't
much left of Steever's outfit ex-
cept one mobile gun. The COM
mander asked for volunteers TO
man that one gun and Steever
and three others stepped for
ward.
The idea was to take il even
farther back on the hill, into
some pretty rough terrain. and
try 10 get set TO meet the Ger
mans when they attacked again.
They didn't have much time,
and the gun carrier was cooked
over on a slant, so 1t was hard
TO aim the gun, when a German
tank came over the crest Of the
hill. around 400 yards away.
Both sides missed with the
first shot. On the second, the
four Americans hit the Nazi
tank. but they didn't hit IN a
vulnerable spot. The Germans
kept coming, and I guess took
their time aiming a good shot.
They hit.

THE Rockford, (IllD Register
- Republic proposes:

ii
u Republic proposes:
Congress can and should do
something about 1t. The salary
of the vice president of the
United States should be in
creased to at least $4,000 a
year, to take effect with the be-
ginning of the next term on
Jan. 20.
Legislation to make this
necessary change should be in
troduced jointly by a Democrat
and a Republican when Con-
gress reconvenes. And it should
have unanimous support In both
House and Senate"
At the Republican convention
In Chicago it was evident that
few men in public life could
afford 10 accept the vice
presidency.
It brings a gross of SIS, 900
which means a net of under
$4,000.
The Democrats may face the
same problem should they de-
sire to dispense with the serv-
ices of Henry Wallace
1t has been suggested that the
vice president need not do any
heavy entertaining and there
fore does not need much money;
yet, for the four-year period
that he holds that office, he is
really an understudy for the
president, holding himself in
readiness to take that office
as Andrew Johnson. Chester
Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt,
and Calvin Coolidge were re-
quired 10 by the circumstance
of assassination and death.
The vice president should be
a competent, well-informed citi-
zen whom the voters would
choose for the presidency. were
the opportunity presented them.
TOO many government offices
L are open only to men of in
herited wealth.
No corporation would dare
offer the small salaries for
competent men on a level with
the government.
They could not get the quail
ity of man that has really won
this war by the genius Of
American management.
Certainly that type of man is
worth as much to the country
as a movie star or a radio en-
tertainer.
The general excuse for this
niggardlinesS has been that
there are compensations other
than money. Honor, for instance,
or power or opportunity.
But il Is precisely the sort of
person who seeks honor or
opportunity that the American
people ought not TO choose to
top positions. The standard
should be competence. integrity,
capacity.
And the vice president should
certainly possess these qualities

ONE day we had a new in

In fact, he had a lieutenant

maybe just to introduce him.
Anyway, the lieutenant told us
that Pvt. Steever was back
from the African campaign and
was going TO tell us something
about il.
So Steever started telling us
about his experiences, haltingly
and bashfully. He just didn't
know anything about teaching
a class or talking in public. he
said, but he'd try TO answer any
questions we had.
He manned a 50-caliber ma
chine gun on an armored car
in Africa, and il was a pretty
soft job. he said. His outfit
was doing reconnaissance work,
scooting 40 or so miles across
the desert and bringing back
reports on Rommels Afrika
Korps. He didn't have TO do
much shooting. he said. because
the cars were so fast that they
could outrun anything the Ger

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
r. D. T: l have high blood
pressure. VIII eating eggs and
salt cause this blood pressure
10 rise?
Answer: Not in my opinion,
although some doctors like TO
cut down salt and meats in the
diet.
G.. H.: Q-What should a per-
sons blood count be for an
indoor worker? Mine is II per
cent hemiglobin. 100000 red
cells and 1000 white cells.
What does the large number OF
white cells mean?
AnSwer-If you ever saw a
blood count done you would
realize that there is a natural
margin for variability due TO
the care or rapidity with which
il is done. The report above on
the white cells does not mean
any more than that e.. II IS
within the range of allowable
technical error. Your hemo-
globin and red count are a little
low for the normal range Of
variability. but the whole thing
looks like an inaccurate count.
G.. L.:-While every one knows
that a high body temperature
is a danger sign, we hear little
about low body temperature.
Is il good or bad? What about
a person whose normal tenn
perature is % and many times
registers less than 81?
Answer: Physicians do not
attach much significance 10 low
body temperature There is no
irrevocable law that DEGREES a
human body temperature must
be exactly 9S.6 r. l presume
AT least ) per cent of the human
race carry daily temperature
Of 9s, Or slightly under. And
they do not lack vigor or
health. The only definite con-
dition mentioned in text books
on diagnosis as being associated
with low body temperature is
insufficient thyroid.
