Former Pascagoula Prof Brings Back
Ribbons, Rare Tales AS Ex-Marauder

From teaching history in a
quiet Southern town to making it
in. an Asiatic jungle is a far cry
but it has been the experience of
Pfc. Gideon Brown, Of Pasca-
goula.
Wearing a badge that denotes
that he was with Merrilrs Ma
RAIDERS, two bronze stars, a sol
dier's combat emblem, a wide
string of ribbons, and 4 gold serv-
ice stripes, he is home from two
years Of active service in the
Burma, India, China theatre of
war, and also in the Southwest
Pacific island group.
Private Brown, who taught his
tory and sociology in the Pasca-
goula High school, entered the
service. May IA, 1912, and after
training at Fort Ord and Munda,
Calf, left San Francisco on a
troop ship bound for Auckland,
N. z. Other places at which he
stopped before he first saw ac-
ton were New Caledonia, Quad
alcanal, Russell Islands and Rem
dova..
New Georgia was where he
had his first taste of fighting, in
a foray against a strongly forti-
fled Jap stronghold. 1t was
marked by three attacks and
three Withdrawals until the men
were supplemented by tanks and
cleaned the place out. The attack
ers passed through three lanes
of Jap machine gun fire in the
attacks an Withdrawals. Five of
the young soldiers nearby COM
rades were killed and five
! wounded. SO deadly was the fire.
Private Brown said that there
were not SO many Nips on New
Georgia as was at first estimated,
but that they seemed more be-
cause they were so well en-
trenched.
Between fighting periods,
Brown had bouts with malaria
which laid him in hospitals al
times but this did not prevent
him from volunteering for action
in new theatres of war, and so
he was sent to India, via Auck-
land, N. a., Brisbane and Free
mantle, Aus, and landed at
Bombay. Before connecting with
Maj. Gen. Frank Merrill's Ma
rauders he had a chance to visit
Calcutta and Kerochi, India.
With Merrill he had part in the
exploits that won the Presiden-
tial citation for this group.
Brown tells of running across
sleeping Japs to the number of
10. These he and his three COM
rades let lie in peace until word
was sent back to the lines for re-
Inducements:
AT n point along the 700
mile trek to Myitkyana, Jap
stronghold, the Marauders sur
prised and killed 800 of the enc
my, with a loss of only four men.
1t was during this and other spec
tacular engagements, that the
jungle training received in New
Georgia stood Brown in good
stead.
Following a period of rest at
home with his mother, Mrs. A. G.
Brown, 1858 S. Pascagoula street,
Paseagoula, Private Brown will
go to a reallocation center at
Miami for future assignment.
While home he has had the
pleasure of seeing his brother,
Thurmond A. Brown, a husky
mess sergeant who has been in
the Army since August %, 1912,
and who has been stationed al
Kasper, Wyo., since entering the
service. Sgt. Brown is home for
10 days.
The family circle was completed
Thursday when the youngest son,
Joe M. Brown, cook, third class.
arrived from Pescacola. This is
the first time they have all been
together in two years.

Dewey talks the stronger the man
date will be. Facing probably
the four most vital years in our
history, the Republican nominee
has spent the majority of his
time and talks in name calling,
reiterating the same old theme
night after night like a cracked
phonograph record. Unfortunate
ly for Dewey, however. the more
he talks the smaller his statue
becomes and the more he CON
vinces one that electing him presi-
dent would be like sending a boy
TO do a mans job.
OVER IN LOUISIANA the slot
machine racket is going full blast,
and a reader writes plaintively to
the editor of the New Orleans
States asking for advice as to how
the racket can be stopped. The
States, which has waged an UNI
successful campaign of long dura-
ton in New Orleans against the
same racket, has no solution to
the readers problem. Well, we
have, Ii they'll elect a man like
ID. o, Newman sheriff, the prob
lem viii be solved overnight.
Sheriff Newman has accom-
plished in a brief time in jackson
county what the whole vast po-
lice force of New Orleans could
not do in years. Thoroughly,
briefly, completely. and by him
self, he chased the one-armed
bandits out of Jackson county
and they are out to stay, How
could one man do this? Because
he is honest and fearless.
