HELL ON WHEELS
HARMON MOVES ON
Nv HAL BOYLE

WITH THE U. S. SECOND ARM
oRED DIVISION IN GERMANY
Oct. 22.-R-"Old gravel voice
is back in the saddle again as bass
OF this famous hell on wheels
division, and he has spread it into
the Siegfried line.
He is Maj. Gen. Ernest N. Har'
mon, known to American tanknen
around the world as 'Hardboiled
Harmon" and he has fought more
battles and killed more Germans
and taken more prisoners than any
other arnored commander under
the flag.
For the first time Gen. Omar
N. Bradley, commander Of Ameri-
can ground forces, permitted to-
day the disclosure that Harmon
had taken over again the leader
ship of the second armored divis.
ion - the outfit which he original
ly landed under fire in French Mo-
rocco IN November, 1912.
And he gave up "a bigger" job
back home for a chance to lead
his veterans into combat again.
Last Judy this 50-year-old gen.
eral = tartar to his officers but
called the enlisted mems buddy"
by the CPS who man his tanks -
was rewarded for an unequalled
fighting record in Africa and Italy
by assignment to command the
23rd corps at Camp Bowie, Texas.
But Harmon did not want rank
80 much as he wanted action. In
a personal letter to Bradley he|
asked for a chance to crack the
Germans again. When Gen. Ed
ward H. Brooks, then commander
of the second arrnored division,
was elevated to a higher post,
Bradley promptly offered Harmon
his old 'hell on wheels" division.
':Old gravel voice" - he talks
like a concrete mixer in low gearI
flew the ocean and took COM
mand on Sept. IL in Belgium. Hell
promptly bridged the Albert canal
under fire and sent his tanks roll
ing across Holland and into Ger
many.
That was only the latest Of many
successes Harmon has had against
the Germans.
One of the founding fathers Of
the armored force, he took COM
mand of the 'hel on wheels" di-
vision the first time in July, 1912
and landed the bulk Of it at Safi
Nov. 8 of that year. 1t was. one of
the major factors in the three-day
conquest of French Morocco.
After the Germans mauled the
American tanks in the disastrous
Kasserine pass battle Harmon was
rushed up and took command Of
the first -armored division. Hell
found the Germans were attackingl
every day at dawn and pushing
the Yanks back 500 yards.
You attack at dawn tomorrow
and start showing them back" he
tOlQ his Leu 1O1CCs 11C oLuCh
to that simple formula for the rest
of the Tunisian campaign which
ended with his tankers rounding up|
AZ 900 Germans and Italians to the
south of Bizerte.
When five German generals re-
fused to ride in the rear of a truck
containing troops - they wanted
private vehicles - Harmon told
them bluntly:
"You are free to walk, gentle
men. I am too busy at the moment
to consider military delicacies."
They climbed into the truck.
Harmon later took his first arm
ored division to Italy and spear
headed the breakthrough from the
Anzio, beachhead through Rome
pursued the battered Germans
north to Arno. His men killed and
captured thousands of Germans in
bloody fighting costly to both
sides.

Four Pictures
To Net Bette
Cool Million

HOLLYWOOD.
Bette Davis, First Lady of Holly
wood" starts brand-new contract
with Warner Bros, dating from her
next picture-a contract in keeping
with her dignified title. Bette has
been on a weekly salary basis, 40
weeks a year, and has been COM
PEELED to remain near the studio for
that time whether working or not.
She wants to spend some time in
New England and her new deal will
permit her to do this.
Instead of being on a weekly basis.
Bette will hereafter be paid on a
picture-to-picture ARRANGEMENT and
can spend the time between each
where she pleases.
The new deal, it is reported. will
net her close to quarter of a mil
hon dollars per picture, thus estab-
llShlng her as the highest salaried
lady of the screen. Even Claudette
Colbert, Ginger Rogers and Rosalind
Russell, with their $150,OOO Der
movie, must bow now to Bette. Not
bad for the little gal who once was
an usherette.
Every few days or so Uncle Sam
puts the movie-making boys in a

something to worry about in the
