BY ERNIE PYLE

WITH Fifth ARMY DIASAA-
HEAD FORCES IN ITALY (by
wireless) - Our artillery up here
is terrific. The beachhead being as
small as it is, we can whenever
we wish train every gun in the
Fifth Army forces on a single Ger
man target
In my wartime life I've had a
good many stray shells in my vi
cinity, but not until I came to the
beachhead was l ever under an
actual artillery barrage.
The Germans shell us at inter-
walls throughout the day and night,
but usually there are just one or
two shells at time, with long
quiet periods in between.
The other night, however, they
threw real barrage at us. 1t was
short, but boy, it was hot. Shells
were coming faster than you could
count them. One guess is as good
as another but I'd estimate that
in two minutes they put $50 shells
in our area.
I was in bed in a stone house,
when it started, and I stayed in
bed, too, simply because I was
afraid to get up. l just reached out
and put my steel helmet on, and
covered my head with a quilt, and
lay there all drawn up in knot.
Shells came past the corner of
the house so close their mere pas
sage would shake the windows. A
shell that close doesn't whine or
whistle. 1t just goes "whish-bang!"
The whole house was rafting and
trembling from constant nearby
explosions. The noise under bar
rage is muddling and terrifying. Of
course we had casualties, but our
own house came through unscath-
ed.
That little barrage seemed awful
to us and it was awful, but just
think-we had maybe $50 shells
around us in two minutes, but I
know of cases where our guns
nave fired necessarily hour after
hour until we have put 10000 shells
in a single German area.
We have had reports that the
Germans were burying their dead
with bulldozers, there were so
many of them.
I had lunch with one of our artil-
lery batteries which shoots the big
Toms. They've been in the thick
of the fighting. since year ago
December-three phases of Tunis-
ia, then Sicily, then through the
Sa1erno-Cassino push. Yet they've
fired more rounds since they've
been sitting here in one spot on the
Anzio beachhead than they did in
the entire year before that. And
they told me of another battery
which fired more in four hours
one night than in the previous eight
months.
The Nazis throw sd much stuff
back at them that the fields
around them are gradually being
plowed up. Yet this battery has
had nobody killed, and only a few
wounded.
They told Of one soldier who was
standing in ditch the other day
with one foot UP on the bank. An
sc shell went right between his
legs, bored into the bottom of the
ditch, blew an artillery range-find-
er all to pieces. and never scratch
ed the fellow. But after it was
over, he was so scared he was sick
for two days.
The men of this battery say that
people who cone to visit them,
such as nearby ackack crews,
road patrols, and ammunition
truckers, are always the ones who
get hit. Being ir the visitor cate
cory myself, 1 said quick good
by and was last seen going rapidly
around an Italian strawstack.

A Marine Speaks Out

Thus the Truman Committee report
shows up the constant barrage of
anti-labor propaganda as hooey. The
trouble is that such authoritative re-
ports come only once a year. The
trouble is that such authoritative re-
ports come only once year. The other
364 days the newspapers and the radio
are crammed with sensational Strike"
stories and other similarly unbalanced
and viciously biased stories.
There is no lodging the fact that
such stories have served to ALLEVIATE
the American people-and especially
many of the boys in the armed forces
from labor. The cumulative effect of
the anti-labor smears cannot be over
emphasized. 1t is damaging in the ex-
treme.
Consider, for instance, the remarks
made in a radio interview by Marine
Sgt. John R. Devereux, just returned
from % months in the Pacific. This
young man, VINO is a nephew OF Col.
James P. S. Devereux, commander of
the Marines in the historic defense of
Wake Island, said:
II had the impression that the
whole country was tied up by strikes"
The young Marines astonishment
that production is running full blast
one the home front was followed by
indignation over the lies fed to him
and his fellows on the fighting fronts.
These fighting men don't want sym
pathy, he said. They want "more and
straighter news"

The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-03-17

soldiers and sailors are being poisoned
against labor by the commercial press
and radio.
Many of our well-meaning friends
ask us from time to time why labor
doesn't tell it's remarkable war story
to the public. These friends don't un-
derstand the combination labor is up
against-a combination which controls
every medium Of public expression
and uses these media to promote it's
perennial fight against labor.
Then, too, self praise is not effec-
tive. What labor says about itself is
bound to be discounted when SO many
louder voices contradict labor's story.
In situation like this, it becomes the
duty Of the Government to inform it's
citizens of the truth. The Truman
Committee has done this - honestly
and fearlessly. Surely it is not too
much to expect the Executive Branch
of the government to uphold and pro-
claim the plain facts presented by the
Truman Committee SO that the Amer
lean people can have "more and
straighter news" on the war effort.

FACING
The
F ACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Senator Harry S. Truman and his
colleagues serving on the Senate
Committee Investigating the National
Defense Program have done master
full job in their third annual report.
With all the facts and figures at
their comm and these Senators
weighed American labor's war record
and found it good. In fact, they some
what pointedly remarked that labor's
record has been better than that of
many of its critics.
Results count. And the Truman
Committee emphasizes the obvious
truth that through the efforts of
American workers, our country has
succeeded in winning the major bat
ties of production. The mildest term
which the report uses to describe pro-
duction totals is "awe-inspiring."
Now remember it is not the function
of Senatorial Investigating Commit
tee to hand out pats on the back. Or
dinarily, such committees, after prob
ing into every detail of their inquiry,
come up with scathing exposes. There
fore, the high praise accorded to labor
in the report is doubly significant. If
labor had fallen down on its job, the
committee would not have hestitated
to heap Goals Of fire on its head.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-03-17

because priorities for paper are de-
MED them.
At the same time, the Governments
own publications have failed dismally
to provide "more and straighter news"
for the men in the armed forces. They
have failed to present the true war
production picture in it's proper per-
spective. Not a single one of the
Army or Navy publications which we
have examined has dared to come out
with as fortnight statement on war
production as the Truman report, de-
spite the fact that the minds Of our

How LabOr's Hands Are Tied
But labor's hands are tied. Govern
ment red tape prevents labor organi-
cations from telling their side Of the
story direct to the men in the armed
forces. Many reactionary and anti-la-
Dor publications are permitted to pub
lish overseas editions for distribution
to our soldiers and sailors, but labor
publications cannot be so distributed

FOR WOMEN

Many of these women are married
and are working side by side with
their husbands or are filling the place
of man in the military service. They
are receiving the same pay as men
for comparable work. More than 1O,-
900 women are now engaged in oper-
alton and maintenance by the petro-
leum industry as well as office and
laboratory jobs, and also in produc-
ton, refining and marketing these
women are proving satisfactory work
erS.
Women who never before have
voted are being sought by both Re-
publican and Democratic parties alike.
The consensus is that women will
swing the pendulum in the 1914 cleo
tions. The Republicans are counting
particularly on housewives while the
Democrats look for large numbers Of
votes in the vast ranks of women war
workers and young women just reach
ing voting age.
Many mems votes will be lost
through battle casualties and through
dislocation of war workers failing to
register in their new communities. In
many ways women of both parties
are thinking alike. Leaders of both
groups express hope for sound plan
to insure peace.
Two florida congressman have
helped start campaign for an equal
rights for women" amendment to the
constitution. The 123rd anniversary of
the birth of Susan B. Anthony was
commemorated by handing Speaker
Sam Rayburn, a discharge petition ON
bill calling for such action. If the
petition is signed by 218 representa-
tives it discharges the house rules
committee and brings it to the floor
for vote. In many states women are
banned from rights accorded men.

WHATC COOKIN'?

The Army Air Forces are teaching
recruits how to eat and hopes to save
food by it. Mess officers of the AAF
training center No. at Miami Beach
announced that series Of lectures on
food would be given with the idea of
persuading lot of the soldiers that
dishes he never before would eat are
good and round out balanced diet.
This should conserve food by enabling
the cooks to estimate better how much
food to prepare.
Thousands of tons of the new
Southern cabbage crop will be dehy-
drafted this Spring; million pounds
for the armed forces and million
pounds will be shipped under lend
lease. Dehydrated cabbage is espe-
cially successful in soup mixtures.
The best way to tackle coconut in
the home kitchen is first make hole
in the shell through one of the "eyes"
with an ice pick and drain out the
milk. Then put the coconut in a mod
crate oven about 10 minutes and cool
so that the flesh shrinks from the
she'll. Tap the shell with a hammer to
crack. Remove the white fresh from
the shell and with a sharp knife trim
oq the brown skin. Crate the coconut
as needed. If fresh coconut is kept in
refrigerator it will keep from one to
two weeks.
Favorite use Of the coconut is in
cream pie or cake frosting, or mixed
with fresh fruit for dessert. It may
also appear at the main course of a
meal as topping for baked dish
of cooked sweet-potato or over chicken
curry.
