When the final curtain dropped on the successful premiere perfor nance of "The Battle of Bradley" on 5 February at the Windsor Locks USO, the gentleman sitting with the orchestra mopping his brow with a wet handkerchief was T/Sgt. Carl Rice. As director, CO., author, and writer of all the music and most of the lyrics for Bradley's musical comedy, Sgt. Rice really "sweated out' that first perfor- nance.
 Before Bradley Field personnel even had hint that they were to have their own musical comedy Carl was hard@at work on the show with the Base Special Service Of flee. Besides writing the music for thirteen original numbers, he wrote the lyrics for five and collaborated on lyrics for another five. Be- tween times he worked on the book and directed rehearsals. All this, however, was nothing new for the Sergeant who has called show busi- ness his hobby for many years and produced numerous plays and mus icals for charitable organizations. According to Carl, one of his most interesting shows was a musical farce he produced in Casablanca French Morocco, that was presented in a hangar. It was while in Casa blanca that he was recommended for a transfer to Andre Baruch's Army Broadcasting Service but since he was Air Corps and not Signal Corps personnel the transfer could not be effected.

We have been an integral part of the Army since October 1940. We are volunteers, yet wear no ribbons or decorations. We see our duty and follow blindly; expecting and re- ceiving no rewards or recognition. We are an unwritten part of all Movement Orders. Having neither organization or administration, we clutter up the railroads and are bane to all transportation officials. Yet, when we arrive at our new station, we are warmly welcomed by all concerned. Our presence de- creases AWOLs and increases the units morale. We are the Wives in Voluntary Exile Service, Bradley Field Detachment.

Y., where he studied mechanical en- gineering. Following college he was employed as a buyer for Blooming dale's Department Store in New York City.
 T/Sgt. Rice enlisted in the Air Corps as radio man on 29 April 1942 at Teaneck, N. J., and was as signed to the Teaneck Armory. He left the United States during the same year on detached service with fighter squadron that was tenn porarily based on an aircraft car rler for the trip overseas. He was a member of this organization during the African invasion in which they participated and later was attach ed to the famed Lafayette Esca- drille for duty training French pi- lots and ground crews in American equipment. While in Africa he was also in the Kasserine evacuation and for this action, and his part in the invasion, he wears two stars on his European-African-Middle East ribbon. ..-s... ...:
 After six months of foreign service T/Sgt. Rice returned to the United States where he was even- tually assigned to his present or ganization, the 93rd Fighter Con- trol Squadron. At present Carl makes his home with his mother Mrs. Nettie Y. Rice and sister, Mary Jane, in New York City.

SUB-DEPOT NEWS

Saturday was inspection day for Sub- Depot. There certainly were a lot of cleaning cloths, brooms, etc. flying around Friday afternoon. In spite of the number of brooms your reported didn't gather up much dirt. It sure is embarrassing to walk into an office and have ev- eryone stop talking would almost think some people were afraid of seeing their name in print But then, maybe it's matter of keeping steady company with "Olo Man Guilty Conscience"
 Have yea seer the old Aero-Re pair Office now made new? Built in bookcases and lots of pleasant company down there. Dots and dashes are flashing in from the Signal Office. "Scrappy" Brunelle has gone 100 percent Navy and he's a First Class Petty Officer at that. 'Tis said that Dotty Rosen- dorf is hoarding paper but we think she has a right to as it comes all the way from England in pretty little airmail envelopes. Irene Mu- lak has that Cost look" in her eye but she's not lost, just very much in love. Could it be Sgt. Robinson? This week we hand the honors tc Angelo Alfano for making huge success of the Valentine Party giv- en for Supply at the Italian Amer ican Club. B. J. certainly enjoyed those square sets! Supply IS for tunate in having a great deal ot dramatic talent in their midst Most Of the part time workers were in high school play that packed the house. Say, how about Sub-Depot putting on a play? Or would it have to go through so many channels that it would finally become just "wet idea"
 Winnie Brennan was sure in a "dither" the other day. The bou- quet that she was wearing on her shoulder was a corsage from Alan, But alas, poor Winnie didn't know which Alan. Names are sure con- fusin', right Winnie? Sgt. Nader and Simone Nolet decided to keep this job of winning the war in the family, so now Mrs. Nader puts planes together with Sgt. Nader's help. Tcjo is sure going to get blasted off the earth by that couple. Hurray say we. On Thursday, the Civilian Employees Association is giving a party at Tinti's. They want big crowd so let's all go and surprise the Association. On 1S February Celia Colson became the bride of Edward P. Barcewicz. The girls from Headquarters got up bright and early Saturday AM. to see that Celia got the send-off she deserved. From all reports Celia looked her lovhest and the recep- tion was huge success. One of the girls will long remember, won't she Marion?
 That's all for now. Don't forget Tinti's or you'll be sorry.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.--In
one year, the United States has
taken control of the atolls of the
Pacific Ocean.
Today is the anniversary of the
battle OF Tarawa, which began the
American advance through an
ocean speckled with Japanese bases;
and on this anniversary, the far
flung war on the atolls may fairly
be declared won, the deaths of the
marines who stormed its beaches
atoned by the speed their sacrifices
made possible.
On the morning of November 20,
1943, the I'd Division of United
States Marines began going ashore
on a 540-acre island surrounded by
coral reefs. That island-Betio--
was the principal defense position
for the atoll of Tarawa, which in
eluded number Of other more or
less undefended islands surround
ing blue lagoon.
The marines moved mostly In as
sault boats-Higgins boats. tank
lighters and similar craft. Their at
tack followed bombing of the islands
by numerous heavy Army bombers
and fleet of nearly 1000 carrier
based planes, both bombers and
fighters, which in all dropped more
than TOO tons of explosives on the
perfectly fiat, coconut-studded is
land. Following the planes warships
steamed to close range and sent
1000 tons of shells screaming to the
beaches. Small ships moved to the
