legal department, NJ. F. Dough-
erty, operations, and Raymond
Ilstrup, sales.
A committee representative
and the department head under
whom the employee formerly
worked cooperate with him on
an individual program designed
to bring the employee up-to-date
with changes in operating meth
DDS and business conditions ap-
plying to the job he or she
wants.
The program, under general
supervision of plant managers
in company units from Buffalo,
N. Y, to Sacramento, Cal, may
include refresher courses in col
lege or trade schools, instruction
by department heads and COM
bined study and work plan.
The program is an outgrowth
of earlier steps taken by the
company's postwar committee,
of which Pillsbury is chairman,
to keep all uniformed employees
in touch with developments in
the milling industry. Dating
from Pearl Harbor, Pillsbury
started sending out a newslet-
ter and assured regular mailing
of Sunday newspapers from the
home community Of each indi-
vidual in service.
Company officials agreed that
the program, which they are
convinced can be expanded to
reabsorb the flood of returning
employees after rehabilitation,
could not be considered a guide
to any overall readjustment
program for the u. S., largely
because the company does not
expect any significant slump in
production and sales for some
time after the war.
But officials said that efforts
have been made to handle even
that eventuality. A special re-
serve fund was established in
June, 1912, and doubled a year
later, to assure unemployment
for a year for all who wished to
rejoin the company, no matter
what business conditions might
be

Industry Sets Up Program

MINNEAPOLIS-U.H - The
Pillsbury Flour Mills Co., one
of the largest milling concerns
in the nation, meets the problem
Of the returning serviceman to-
day by a sort of military indoc-
trination course in reverse.
The basic idea is to convert
the war-changed serviceman
back into a valuable civilian en-
ployee by reversing the process
by which Uncle Sam made him
a fighter.
1.-THE aim Of the program was
not merely to give its mustered
out employees job" said Presi-
dent p. w. Pillsbury, "but to
find job as close to the employ
ee's former post as possible"
He said the program which
his company initiated about four
months ago was designed to re-
adjust the individual to civilian
work habits and was based on
meeting individual needs of the
specific employee and the kind
of job he or she wants.
The company, Of course, re-
fuses to discuss individual case
histories, but said that of $50
former employees who went in
to military service, about 35
have been discharged and re-
placed on the payroll. The re-
placement followed an exhaus-
tive individual survey of the
war-created changes In each
employees personality and
work skills.
AS employees are made avail
able to the company after dis
charge, they are assigned to the
identical jobs they had when
they entered service, unless
there is a good reason to prevent

ticular phase of the company's
operations.
Records Of special training
and service experience, personal
interviews and records of prev

With the experience of numer-

grams, Pillsburg said, the pro-
gram is now beyond the expert
mental stage.

ment committee appointed from

WASHINGTON, June 10.-R,-
The Navy has lot Of deadly sur

I have just returned from a four

He was a nice guy, too.
'sYou can't trust those Germans.
''They put mo-tars ana al'il!e.y
in q, rs then. and wounded eight
more of our men. What hell OF
a trick to play.
1--WE couldn't have made it with
out the Navy. Their observers
called for support and they began
dropping shells in that tunnel
opening. They had to knock out
that position three times. Every
time they blew one crew away,
another bunch of Germans would
pop out of their holes and start
working the machiaeguns on us. !.
Funny thing, too, because they
weren't all that brave, and they
finally ran like hell, but they KEEP
throwing artillery around us. Our
wounded had to lie for two full
DAYS on the beaches because we
couldn't evacuate them. We caught
66 Germans, but lost most of them
later during counter-attacks.
''They told us they knew at 2::30
a. m. that we would try to land
in that vicinity and had pulled
back six heavy guns which we
had been assigned to knock out.
We. kept on plugging and found
the guns about 1000 yards farther
on in the woods. The gunners ran
from them as we approached and
we blew up the battery by drop
ping the-mite grenades down the
barrels.
'It cost us losses of men to get
them though, because we were IN
de- constant mortar and snipe-
fire.
Zone heavy counter attack
drove us back. One of our men
asked the colonel what we should
do and he said, Build up your
lifelines and we will hold this
point
'T he next morning, afte-
weathering lot of machinegun
fire, we were reinforced by 20
new men. I never saw anybody
more welcome. So we decided to
try a counter-attack."

RANGERS DESTROY
five GERMAN GUNS
BY HAROLD v. BOYLE

GEN. MONTGOMERY'S CUM
MAND POST, June 9 Delayed
|RLA glum little black-haired ser
geant told today how American
Rangers in their first combat ac-
ton destroyed five German heavy
guns and for two full days beat
off all counter attacks during
which one Ya.k mortar knocked
out IL enemy machine guns.
After exhausting their own am
muaition, the Rangers fought on
with captured German weapons.
1--WE spent II weeks practising
that maneuver and it caught the
Germans flat-footed, because they
didn't think we'd dare come
ashore" said Staff Sgt. Frederick
Dix, "a, of 142 Maxwell Ave, SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. "Our job was to take
and hold that neck of land and
we did it and are damn proud we
did it's ~
Dix, whose outfit took and gave
heavy casualties before reinforce
ments arrived and relieved them,
said the Rangers hit the beaches
at 7:05 a. m. on D-day, and ''sev-

okay."
lone got swamped in heavy seas
and I don't know what happened
to the men in it," he continued.
I'VE couldn't stop to check. We
ran into rifle, machine-gun and
sniper fire from the TANKS as soon
as we got within range and lost
some of our medicos right there
on the beach. Some of them tried
to plant a Red Cross flag where
they were working over the casu-
alties but a SHIPPER put three bull
let holes in it before they could
raise it. The Germans were hidden
in a 42-foot deep tunnel extending
600 yards from the beach to a
camouflaged barn which had been
reinforced into a pillbox and am
munition dump.
I'VE made hell of a noise and
scared one 17-year-old German.
He was a senior noncom. His out
fit, too, was running out of his
pillbox to give up. Before he could
reach us his own captain shot him
through the neck and killed him.
Then we captured the captain and
made him open up the pillbox him
self. You can't trust those guys,
you know.
