Marine Vet SAYS
GuadaIcanaI Was
Toughest Fight

Public relations section, U. S
Marine recruiting station, Butte
Nov. 8.-Tarawa was tough, but al
least one Montana marine would
"rather take another Tarawa than
Guadalcanal."
He is Corporal Edward Fox, 80
Laurel, who fought also at Saipan
and Tinian.
"Tarawa was bloody, but we had
more hardships at Guadalcanal,' ~
recalled Corporal Fox, who is still
suffering from a tropical disease
incurred in the Pacific. Now home
on a furlough for a visit with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Fox,
Jr., of Laurel, he will later be sta
toned in Oakland, Calf.
Corporal Fox went overseas in
May 1912, three months after his
enlistment, with an infantry unit of
the famed Second marine division.
"We thought Tarawa was going
to be a pushover," said Corporal
Fox. "I told my buddy that all we
would have to do was bury the Jap
dead. Then, as we started to go
in and the Jap shells began falling
thick around our boat he said: 'Wel !
who's going to pat who in the face
now?'
"We ran up against the imperial
Jap marines. They are big and
tough and the same size as many
of our men. You could hardly tell

Sights and sounds:
Films stars who treasure life, limb
and sane existence still find Bev-
erly Hills the most desirable COM
munity in the Los Angeles area in
which to reside. This was further
attested one night last week when
the police chief of B. H. accepted
with righteous justification plaque
bestowed on his department by the
Southern California Safety Council.
Up to that date not a single life
had been lost in Beverly Hills during
1914 through traffic accident. And
when you consider that B. H. is a
5-mile-square municipality situated
almost in the midst of the vast Los
Angeles area, which never fails to
roll up total of 1000 or more traf-
flc deaths every year, the record is
almost unbelievable. Five main ar
teries OF traffic run in and out of
Beverly Hills, but drivers instinc-
lively slow down and watch the
signals carefully when they pass
through.
Its crime wave. or lack of it, is
equally impressive. There hasn't
been murder in Beverly Hills in
the memory Of the Oldest inhabi-
tant. Two years ago fellow got gay
and broke into Wally Berry's home.
He was caught five minutes later.
The sounder inhabitants of
moviedom, those who like to lock up
the premises, at 10 o'clock and get

erly Hills as the ideal American
community # one of them happens

Haven bar he is Immediately rec
ognized by polite and loyal Bev-
erly Hills cop and, likely as not, is
escorted right to his doorstep. Woe
betide the fellow whose address is
outside those city limits.
Film stars know better than tc
start ruckus in a Beverly Hills
night club. Cutting a fellows nose
of in those environs is strictly out
of the question.

Gated, he would get into another
business Il.
He will never have to worry about
that, however.
In the three years he has been
in America, since the fall of Deu-
mark caught him in Sweden and he
deemed it inadvisable to try to go
home, he has become the, sensation
of intellectual clowndorh in this
country. He has an uneasy feeling
from time to time that he ought to
be better than he is to merit the un-
bridled enthusiasm he has aroused
in theaters, on the radio, in night
clubs and In the movies.
"You see," he says modestly, "I'm
limited by my English. When
landed here, I did not know any
English at all. The first IL months
I spent studying 1t intensely, and
I've kept at it ever since, Of course.
But I don't feel free even yet in the
language. I cannot do what I could
do in Europe, give completely ad
libbed show"
He may feel that way about it, but
no one else does, for 1t is one of the
brightest facets of his every per-
formance that it just seems to have
popped into his mind.
That was true even in the So
week stretch he did on the air with
Bing Crosby. On certain of those
programs, he used English which his
musical ear enabled him to pro-
nounce but which he did not always
understand when he used it.
That might give man an uneasy
sense long after he has become surer
in a language, he admits.
The fine music which he plays
with such high comedy effects-he
has turned the piano into one of
the most wonderfully comic, of props
has Borge's respect even when he
is tampering with it in his most
irreverent fashion.
Actually, Of course, he could not

to which cafe society has always
taken a fancy, but the idea of limit
ing himself to its notions of ex-
clusiveness is one that never would
cross his agile mind.
In just minutes in the relaxed,
but mentally stimulating presence
of Borge. you realize he is an artist,
a type virtually extinct in the best
sense of the word In him the least
melancholy Dane we ever met, in
cluding huge, happy Lauritz Mel
chior, you see creative human with
deep sense of the democracy of his
art-which is a stuffy way to say
it, as he probably would be the first
to avoW.
Cafe society might imagine itself
as the group best qualified to ap-
preciate Borge's mocking approach
to Tschaikowski, or the neat way he
has of dismantling Shoshtakovich.
That is not because it is so qualified,
of course, but only because it has
not seen a three-hour stretch of

succession of wards. Or because 1t

He certainly does not regard him
self as pianist of concert caliber
right now. Technique has profound
tendency to become wayward unless
1t is kept up and Borge has been too
busy for that in the last three years.
His business has been not only on
stage, screen and air, but he has a
private, personal one that he enjoys
hugely. That Is entertaining service

colonies of cities in which he hap
pens to be working. The latter are
great family parties, one-man shows
which can run on for three or four
hours and leave Borge untired.

ceiling prices which warehouse
operator said would result in an
So, 900, 900 loss to farmers.

decided the 1913 crop should be
withdrawn from the market.
"It is figured that if the crop is

that it would sell at least 20 cents
pound below the ceiling price
fixed by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, (52 cents average
per pound, which would mean the

a challenge to the women of Will

tasks which can release men for
front Line duty. The Army needs
thousands Of women and urgently
calls for help" Corporal Catherine
Leary, OF the local Wac recruiting
office stated yesterday.
How much the Army needs in
creased enlistments in the Wac, is
revealed by statement Of General
George c. Marshall, Chief of Staff,
which Corporal Leary quoted, "As
more and more American soldiers
engage the enemy in combat, wo-
men must replace them at over
seas bases and at posts in this
country. In view Of the urgency Of
the situation, enlistment in the
military service should take pre-
cedence in my opinion, over any
other responsibility except imper'
alive family obligations.

highly praised by such men as 1t
