To begin, let's take quick look
!. at his activities since he entered
the musical field Away back in 1911,
Sgt. Andrews was organist and
choir director in Jacksonville. Fla.
This activity held his interest until
1918, when he entered the Armed
Forces. Overseas, he found time to
serve as vocalist for a year with
the 18th Pioneer Infantry Band.
From 1919 to 1925 he performed
in the same capacity with the 25th
Infantry Band. In 1926 he grad
uated from the Army Music School,
after completing his studies on the
clarinet. Around 1897 to 1941 he
served as director of the 25th In
fantry Glee club Then in 1941 he
began his duties as band leader of
the great organization he now di-
rects without use of conductors

of the worlds finest classics and

Time and space will not permit
lengthy discourse on the many tai
ents and outstanding qualities of
this beloved soldier, but how in
spring it is to the younger musicians
serving under him to see a grand
personality and member of our
own group performing such an ar
tiStic pursuit in such a superior
manner.

entire band when 1 say that 1 deem
it one of the greatest opportunities
of our careers to serve under Sgt.
Andrews, and play as he beautifully
interprets the finest language known
to mankind

"BuckY' Smith had quite a field
day one afternoon. He displayed great
possibilities as a broken field runner
on some softball team when his after
noon siesta was disturbed by the pres
ence of a lonesome Bull Snake Smith
was lounging in his pup tent when
the snake put in his appearance. AS
soon as they discovered each others
presence they each took off in flight,
but in the SAME direction. Conse-
quently it looked as though the snake
were chasing him, but the snake soon
found out its mistake and executed
a column right" to safety.

Send In More Tanks

Pointing out that the initial operations in
cess, with complete tactical surprise achieved,
Hanson w. Baldwin, war analyst of the New
York Times, points out that recent fighting
has revealed defects in American tactical con-
cepts. With slight opposition at the start and
nearby German airfields quickly neutralized,
the Americans had an opportunity, he adds,
to cut the Appian Way and place troops on
the high ground thanking the German COM
munication route. This was not done, and the
Germans have had time to seize the init
alive.
Mr.. Baldwin thinks this is due primarily to
caution on the part of Allied commanders,
and also to their failure to bring into the
action a large tank force He is inclined
TO blame American war planners for failure
to recognize the Importance of tanks in mod
ern warfare and to minimize their claim that
shipping has not been available for tank de-
liveries to war zones. He comedies that Italian
mud was handicap to tank operations around
Nettuno, most of those available being mired
for days, but emphasizes that in Africa and
Sicily only one tank division was in action
whereas two or three could have shortened
the campaign in both areas and materially
lesssned Allied losses.
The shipping problem, which was offered
as an excuse for not placing more tanks r
action, has been solved, he says, but still
tanks are not going to the front. With all ou1
industrial capacity, and of all the armorec
divisions the nation has organized, trained
and equipped, only two have been reported ir
action in this war;
If we are to regain the initiative at Nettuno
we can do it only in hard struggle, one
in which armored divisions will take full
part in the battle. This gives welcome supper
to the view voiced in these columns yesterday
that General Patten and his tanks are needed
in Italy as quickly as they can be taken there

Salute To Ball Players

The thing that makes for greatness in Z
baseball team is not so much the outstanding
talent of one or two of its players as the
teamwork of them all.
This is why ball players in the armed forces
are doing an outstanding job. General Somer
will stressed this point in letter read al
the twenty-first annual dinner of the New
York baseball writers on Sunday night The
general voiced regret that he could not at
tend the affair, as well he might, for these
dinners are notable events, but took occasion
to point out that bashall is an important
factor in the winning of the war.
1T has been said,'' he wrote, that the
successes of the British Army can be traced
to the cricket fields of Elton, and I may say
that the sandlots and big league ball parks OF
America have contributed their share to our
military success"
How true his words are is proved by what
he wrote next: Nearly 70 per cent OF all
major league players at the time OF Pearl
Harbor are wearing the uniform today and
giving a splendid account of themselves Be-
sides, a million and a half kids from the
Junior sandlots and teams sponsored Jointly
by the major leagues and the American LIE
gion are in the armed services. They are
good soldiers They learned teamwork early,
and it takes teamwork to win a battle or a
war"
The stars, of course, have a place in the
GREAT American pastirne but it is ability to
play together, to coordinate team action. to
know what each man is to do in any given
play that wins the game. And that, we may
be sure. as General Somervell says, is what
wins wars That is why these tens OF thou
sands of ball players are making good in
combat.
Because of this splendid quality, the general
called upon the diamond front to make its
contribution to morale. Help your Army and
your Navy" he urged, by employing your
skill and your knowledge in the maintenance
of morale both at home and among our troops.
It is yo,r power to encourage both the workers
and the fighters to give all they have to
achieve the victory
If there are any in this country who advo-
cate abandonment of baseball for the dura-
ton, General Somervells letter to New York
baseball writer's ought to make them change
their viewpoint

The Tax Bill

! There is much speculation on what the
president will do about the new tax bill which
p1ovides for so much less money than the
Treasury, with his blessing, asked Some per-
sons in the public eye believe he will do
nothing and allow it to become law without
his signature. Others are confident that he
will veto it, and so reopen the whole question
of additional taxes.
; There would seem to be more reason to
think h. may take the latter course since he
is on record as declaring the bill unrealistic
land by the additional fact that strong pres
sure is being brought to bear upon him to
;ceto it.
| 1t is, perhaps, not so important to guess
what he will do as to appraise the attitude
!of the Congress if he should exercise his vets

power. Would the forces on Capitol Hill which
are valiantly fighting governmental extrava
gance be able to muster the necessary votes
to override a veto, or would more months
have to be devoted to committee hearings
and floor debates in the framing OF a new
bill which might 'nally impose burden
upon taxpayers more nearly in accordance
with the Treasury's demands? This is the
crux of the matter.
There is some reason to assume that in
view of the attitude Congress has taken to-
ward the White House veto might be over
ridden. In that case the administration would
be left no other course but to stop the waste
that has characterized it's war buying.

nee by severe measures if voluntary sur
'ender is not made.
1t is not that Russia has any reason tc
ear the Firms in combat. They have proved
their superiority to these northern neighbors
in a var that is as indefensible now as when
t was started. And Finland has done little
on the field of battle ~ more tn a year
to aid Hitler. But the nation still interposes
a barrier to Russia's control of the Baltic,
not on its own account but by reason of Ger
many's domination and Russia must have the
Baltic to cut off deliveries to Germany of
vital ores and war materials from Sweden.
The British blockade guards the outer route
but is unable to stop transit of the Baltic.
Until this sea is bottled up, the Russians
cannot close Swedish sources of supply for
their enemy-and ours Therefore, Finlands
capitulation is demanded and we may be sure
will be forced at heavy sacrifice of Finnish
blood if other measures fail.
Whatever our sentimental attitude, the Unit
ed States dare not intervene to save the little
nation, for we are as deeply involved in this
war as Russia, and Finland's surrender is as
necessary to us, in the broader aspects of the
war, as to Russia. But we cannot fail to re-
gret that the people toward whom there is
only the kindliest feeling here must be made
to suffer cruelty for Hitlers wrongdoing and
their leaders blunder in siding with the Axis.
