Last summer, Cnurchlll came TO
Washington after Quebec and, to-
gether with Harry Hopkins, oc-
cupied one section of the White
House. There, military confer
ences continued day and night,
with the Prime Minister walking
up and down the White House
corridors in Tapping bedroom
slippers and great gold-and-red
silk kimono.
At that time, Mrs. Roosevelt Is
said to have telephoned from New
York to member Of her family
in the White House and to have
tactfully inquired:
''Is that man stil there?"
(She was not referring to the
President).
1t was not the way the Prime
Minister dressed or made himself
at home in the White House that
bothered Mrs. Roosevelt. But, ac-
cording to friends, she did feel
that Mr.. Churchill wore her hus-
band out with his long hours.
HE often sleeps from noon until
about p. M, then stays up
until about 2 a m. Meanwhile. the
President had to face his regular
routine all day long.)
Also, Mrs. Roosevelt, to her in
Inmates, has made no secret 70 her
belief that Mr.. Churchill is liv-
ing in the political past as far

For instance, most of the new

been in England for two years,
and have been flying over Europe
constantly. still remain second

some newly arrived pilot who has
flown twice across the Channel,

The little winds are pleasant
That blow at eventide
Across plowed fields and gardens
And fragrant countryside.
The little winds are pleasant
That bring the day to rest,
When cobwebs gather silver
And sunset stains the west.
The little winds are pleasant
That lull the leaves until
The purple twilight deepens,
And all the world Is still.

Ada R. Miller, 732 Croissant place

action in the Mediterranean area,
tells of eating nothing but grass for
four days while trapped behind
enemy lines in the Tunisian cam
paign.
After he and % others had sub
sisted on grass and water from an
occasional creek for days, they
finally sneaked through the German
lines and wandered for hours until
they found American troops.
"Boy!" said Pvt. Miller, that was
the best feeling in the world, and
that c ration the best food, too"
He calls his outfit a clay pigeon"
one because it was a cavalry recon-
naissance squadron attached to the
1st Infantry Division for scouting
and patrol.
Sometimes we'd go out and at
tract enemy ire just to find out
where the ferries were," Pvt. Miller
said.
Pvt. Miller, who went to Sicily
shortly after the invasion and
fought to Casino in the Italian
campaign, was injured near Bene-

Tanks Lead Sweep
Across Cane Field
In Saipan Battle
BY STAFF SERGT. DICK
TENELLY,

405 Eleventh street Sc. Marine Corps
Combat Correspondent.
SAIPAN. Marianas Islands de-
layed Marine light and medium
tanks were on the line at the near
edge Of a cane field. Our troops
were crouched between them, hud-
died around the rear of the tank
treads. A platoon sergeant ex-
planned the situation to me.
We've been held up here almost
two days." he said. 1.-THE enemy. Is
dug in all through this field. One
Of them already has got seven Of
our men and another has shot 10.
And we haven't been able to spot
them. The only thing we can do
is go through behind the tanks.
Then We can be sure"
Suddenly, with a deafening clat-
ter, the tanks opened fire, 80 and
so ca!iber machine guns, 37-mm.
and 75-mm. cannons going full blast.
Slowly they crushed into the cane
field. The troops moved with them,
firing carbines, Garand rifles and
Browning automatics.
1t was rough going through brok-
en- stalks Of sugar cane, over hilly
ground. Now and then a sniper's
bullet whined overhead. AS we
emerged on the far side of the field
a small shell of some kind fell
among our men. Several rolled
over, clutching pitifully at wounds.
Others called for corpsmen.
We moved on across a cleared
field. A cluster of cement buildings
on our right was blasted full Of
holes. On our left was fringe Of
trees and underground edging
sharp drop into the valley below.
Most of the sniper fire we caught
came from there.
A hundred yards or so ahead q
wounded cow hobbled out of the
brush, then fell and lay still.
Our advance continued through
more head-high cane fields, over
small rises in the terrain. The lead
tank on the left swerved back
toward the line of advancing in
fantry, stopped and beckoned us
forward.
Friendly troops are moving up
the left slope of that bald hill
ahead" said the tank commander.
Tell our men to cease firing on the
hill"
The word was passed to the other
tanks and we resumed the advance.
The supporting unit on our left en-
countered heavy sniper fire and fell
back. We spread out to cover the
same length of front and went on.
Finally We reached line adjoin-
ing the base Of the bald hill, which
by now was swarming with marines.
The tanks stopped. We stopped.
The tanks went back. They had
finished up one job but others
awaited them.
