next. You're just as liable to get
hit standing in the doorway of the
villa where you sleep at night, as
you are in command post five
miles out in the field
Some days they shell us hard,
and some days hours will 60 by
without a single shell coming over.
Yet nobody is wholly safe and any
body who SAYS he has been around
Anzio two days without having a
shell hit within a hundred yards
Of him is just Dragging.
People who know the sounds of
warfare intimately are puzzled and
irritated by the sounds up here.
For some reason, you can't tell
anything about anything.
The Germans shoot shells Of halt
dozen sizes, each of which makes
a different sound of explosion. You
can't gauge distance at all. One
shell may land within your block
and sound not much louder than a
shotgun. Another landing a quar-
ter mile away makes the earth
tremble as in an earthquake, and
starts your heart to pounding.
You can't gauge direction, eth
er. The 88 that hit within 20 yards
of us didn't make so much noise.
would have sworn it was 200
yards away and in the opposite di-
rection.
Sometimes you hear them COM
ing, and sometimes you don't.
Sometimes you hear the shell
whine after you've heard it ex-
plode. Sometimes You hear it
whine and it never explodes. Some
times the house trembles and
shakes and you hear no explosion
at all.
But I've found one thing here
that's just the same as anywhere
else-and that's that old weakness
in the joints when they get to land
ing close. I've been weak all over
Tunisia and Sicily, and in parts of
Italy, and I get weaker than ever
up here.
When the German raiders come
over at night, and the sky lights
up bright as day with flares, and
ack-ack set up turmoil and
pretty soon you hear and feel the
terrible power of exploding bombs
well, your elbows get flabby and
you breathe in little short jerks
and your chest feels empty and
you're too excited to do anything
but hope.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Three cheers for Jim Berryman's car
toon demanding to know What's Cook
ing" in the Washington slum reclama-
ton pot!
At the moment, the bad smell arising
from the pot comes from the land swim
die bill dropped in by Senator Tydings,
under the attractive title: "slum Clear
ance and Redevelopment."
There is not one word in this bill
about the one thing Washington really
needs: Good low-rent housing. Dragged
up out of the pot in Mr.. Berryman's
cartoon and examined carefully, this
bill turns out to be plan for buying
the slums from their present owners at
the highest price they can get and SELL
ing them back again at whatever price
they will pay-using D. C. taxpayers
money to finance the deal and pay
the profits
I hope Senator Tydings wakes up in
time to discover that he is being used
as cats paw. Meanwhile, urge other
taxpayers to do what did, ask Senator
Iydings' office for a copy of bill No.
8. 1928. and read 1t carefully.

Druftees in Action

vast numbers OF young Americans
processed by Selective Service into
the armed forces have been in battle
for a long time. but the 85th and
18th Divisions of the Second Corps
of the Fifth Army have the distinc-
ton and honor of being the first
"all-draftee" divisions to see action
In Europe, giving an outstanding
account of themselves in the cur
rent Italian offensive. They have
been in the thick of the fight; they
have driven the best of the Nazis
before them in the fiercest of en-
gagements; they have applied their
training camp lessons brilliantly
and bravely, and not without hard
losses to themselves, in winning
through to Formia, Gaeta, Santa
Maria Infante, Terracina and fam
ing points beyond.
Little more than two years ago,
the men of the 85th and 18th were
largely Sabotage civilians - boys
just out of adolescence, just begin
ming college or learning some peace
time industrial skill or working on
the farm or in a Main street store
or in an office in some city anywhere
from here to San Francisco. Then,
with the war, they were drawn from
every part of the country and
thrown together in world they had
never known before-young citizens
representing all walks of life in our
democracy, easy-going, martial
kids suddenly called upon to take
military discipline and carry a gun
and learn how to shoot it. And as
the reports from Italy testify, they
learned fast and well, and in learn
ing they acquired that esprit de
corps, that pride in outfit, that sense
of comradeship which all good SOL
diers have and which makes armies
victorious. AS the first battle-tried
divisions made up almost exclusively
of drafted Americans, they have al
ready run up a record that speaks
volumes for what democracy can
do when it is called upon to defend
itself and when its young men are
democratically chosen to bear arms.
We shall probably hear of a lot
more divisions of this sort before the
war ends, for the Nazis and Japa-
nese are only beginning to feel the

igan and Senator Taft of Ohio, and 1t.
Comdr. Harold e. Stassen, former Gov
ernor Of Minnesota.
Gov. Warren has urged the California
delegation not to vote for him either
for the presidential or vice presidential
nomination. This bears out the report
from California that Warren does not
wish to be vice presidential nominee,
mat ne prefers to remain as Governor
OF his State, with the opportunity later
OF being elected to the Senate or Of
being appointed Attorney General in
the event Of Republican victory.
Gov. Bricker also insists that he does
not wish vice presidential nomination.
1t is said that he would prefer to be
named Attorney General in Republic
can cabinet If he cannot be elected
President, and that his real aim would
be place in the Supreme Court. VAN
denberg and Taft would deny any wish
to be Vice President. This leaves Gov
Griswold, Representative Dirksen and
Mr.. StaSsen. Any one of them would
be an admirable choice. Mr.. Dirksen,
veteran of the House although a
young man, has toured the country,
spreading Republican doctrine and has
made an excellent impression. His
knowledge Of and experience with Con-
gress would be a valuable asset to
Republican administration.
+ X
President Roosevelt has drifted far
along the path to denomination. He
picked Vice President Wallace to run
with him in 1910. He is likely to do so
again. Mr.. Wallace, beloved of the CLIO,
might prove an asset or liability or
bit of both. The Democrats are likely
to scan carefully their choice for Vice
President. President Roosevelt has had
II grueling years in the White Eouse.
If for any reason Mr. Roosevelt was
forced to retire after having been re-
elected, the Vice President would finish
out the term.
If for any reason Mr.. Wallace is side
tracked, there remain as definite pos
sibilities Truman of Missouri, Barley
of Kentucky, Undersecretary of State
Stettinius, Speaker Rayburn of Texas,
Secretary of State Hull and War Mobi-
lizer Byrnes. The Democrats are wait
ing on the President to say whether
he will run again-and also to say who
is to be his running mate. Looks like
a Roosevelt party.
