IncIement Weather
SpoiIs Festivities
Planned for Easter

Capricious Mother Nature seemed
mischief bent last Sunday as she
awoke before dawn to hurl down
upon Fort Huachuca tons Of snow,
Sleet and rain.
That this ruined all plans for out
door activities can easily be dis
cerned. One can hardly sing of the
beauties of .springtime during the
height of a binding lizard, or hunt
Easter eggs that are buried under
carpet of snow. One cannot en-
joy riding in the ferris wheel of a
carnival with sleet stinging him in
the face, nor picnic in some grassy
nook of the Huachucan mountains

Sou and Attached Units Lower
Forts V,D. Rote by 10 Per Cent

That the venereal disease rate at
Fort Huachuca was much improved
over previous months was the well
come revelation from Capt. j. j..
Goldsberry. VDC officer, in sum-
mary of March reports compiled by
his office.
Prize winning section for the
month was Section 6, comprising
Sou and attached units, which
with a percentage of 513 per 1000,
per annun, stands lower than any
other section in the camp and bet
ters the percentage of over so es-
tablished last month. Although the
percentage is still considerably over
the 80 percent maintained as an
average for all installations, the
steady decrease in rate of infections
is heartening and indicative of the
fact that the Forts program is pro-
ductive of results.
Prize Units Listed
The decline in VD rate in Section
6 is attributed in great measure to
the fact that the following units Of
the section have had no disease re-
ported during the year of 1914:
335th Station Hospital, Bakers and
Cooks School, Veterinarians Detach-
ment. The following units which
have had no disease reports for the
past four weeks also helped to lower

There wasn't another rifle

And what did he find? An
abandoned 81 nm anti-tank gun,
with shells. So as long as the
shells lasted, he stayed with
that gun, too.
That was at Altavilla. Kelly
was at San Pietro, too, as a COR

earlier actions was written while
he was a corporal - and then
as section sergeant. He crossed
the Rapido River three times
as platoon sergeant, but had to
come back each time because of
overwhelming enemy strength.
He has fought at Casino, also.
He's had a total of 20 days of
active combat, and his only in

and some tiny cuts on his hands

he's credited with killing 40

All the time, every gunner in
hundreds of forts in our forma-
ton was shooting like hell at
those ferries - and knocking
plenty Of them down.
II was more than so below
zero but the sweat rolled down
our faces like we were hoeing
potatoes.
There were about nine ME-
109s coming in behind us. The
first four were a little high but
the fifth man was dead behind
me (Huffman) and when he was
about 400 yards off, l just froze
to my gun. AT 800 yards, he
started smoking and peeled off
out of control, did a quick flip
and plunged straight down.
ATTACK IN PACKS
Later on, pack of ME-170s
attacked us. That's when our
ship got it. They knocked out
our oxygen system and part Of
the radio controls and damaged
the landing gear, A couple of
our walk-around oxygen bottles
were busted.
So for about an hour, four Of
us gunners had to huddle in the
waist compartment - leaving
two positions unnamed, in or
der to share the oxygen supply.
We tried to crack jokes to
make each other laugh, but it's
pretty hard to do in a spot like
that.
A 20-millimeter shell burst in
the waist compartment and
knocked two waist gunners
down. A piece of armor plating
hit the other waist gunner and
knocked him down. He looked
up and said, Il thought they had
me that time, but l guess my
head is too damned thick"

Ford Riot
Union Rowdies
Domose U. S. Property

DETROIT, March 9-(P)-The
Federal Bureau of Investigation
today was looking into Ford
Motor Co. charges that govern
ment property was damaged
during a demonstration yester-
day in the aircraft building at
the Ford Rouge plant.
Robert A. Guerin, agent in
charge of the Detroit FBI office,
said the investigation thus far
had not revealed any consider
able damage, but that it would
be continued.
Intelligence officers Of the
Army Air Forces, who also be-
gan an investigation, said they
had found no evidence that any
Army records had been dam
aged.
A company spokesman con-
tended that the demonstration
was precipitated by the suspen-
sion Of two employees accused of
smoking in a lavatory and the
discharge of a third for striking
a foreman. About $50 workers
stormed the Labor Relations Of
flee, the spokesman said, break
ing windows, overturning desks,
scattering records from the files
and beating a plant guard who
tried to stop them.
The company, in statement,
said the grievance should have
been handled through estab-
lished procedure and warned the
United Automobile Work
(CIO) that if "riotous methods"
were used the company could
"see no object" in continuing its
contract with the union.
In reply, the union declared
that two of the three employees
were medically discharged Ma
rine Corps veterans and charged
that while the union does not
condone acts of violence or vio-
lations of grievance procedure
the incident in the aircraft unit
was the spontaneous reaction OF
the rank and file against the in
