about their boss, too. He is one
reason why they are going back.
Hes tops. When you work for a
man like that, you don't want to
quit" they said. They spoke of him
as Uncle joe" and The General"
and said they had never heard him
called Vinegar Joe" except in news
papers. To his face, they call him
Gen. Stilwell.
Calls Them Nicknames.
But that doesn't mean he keeps
things formal" the major said. He
calls me Ty, and has nicknames for
the other boys, too. We don't stand
at attention around him and he
never seems to notice the difference
in our ranks. We're like a pair of
old shoes to him. He knows us, and
is comfortable around us-I guess
that's why he said he wanted us
back, if we wanted to come. He
always worried about us, when he
thinks we might be tired, too, and
looks out for us all the time"
Both men were surprised when
they were asked about the morale
OF the Marauder group after the
incident made public earlier this
month"; when convalescents were
sent to the front by mistake. I'VE
hadn't heard anything about it until
we got home,' they said.
I'VE were at Myitkyina (the field
to which the convalescents were
sent and if there had been real
grippe, we'd have been in on it,
Sergt. BoWles said
AS to morale in general, they
thought theirs was pretty average"
Fact is, we don't know enough

about what's going on over here to
get upset." they said. All this
soldier vote bill stuff-maybe we're
unpatriotic, but you don't have time
to worry too much about anything
except how to get In a foxhole. The
boys talk a lot about the postwar
job situation, but aside from that,

cides that way, he says.
Speaking Of the girl back home,
the two men had good news for
her. THE native women are no
competition"
When the Chariot landed last
Friday, Mrs. Theison, . pretty
blond, was at the field. "They tell
me I jumped up and down and
shouted" she said, "but I thought
was very calm. However, nobody
would blame a wife for getting ex-
cited when she sees her husband
for the first time In two years" /"

Two soldiers came back from the
China Burma India front last week.
One was a sergeant, one a major.
One had been over year and a
half, one more than two years. One
had totaled up 400 combat flying
hours, one 900 Both felt the same
way about their present jobs.
TITS just like job over here"
they said. Some days you get
griped or tired, and sick of the whole
business. But once you're geared up,
you wouldn't be happy unless you
could go ahead and see the thing
through" Both men will return to
the front soon, although both had
the choice Of being transferred to
duty in this country.
They are Sergt. Clyde Bowles, %,
Of 7704 Takoma avenue, Takoma
Park, Md. and Maj. Emmett Thei-
son of Detroit. Their jobs are flight
engineer and pilot, respectively, of
Uncle Joe's Chariot" Gen. Joseph
w. Stillwell's plane. which they
named. They, with the other two
members of their crew flew here
last week to bring Gen. Frank D.
Merrill, chief of the jungle unit
which bears his name.
Chauffeurs for Joe"
wherever Uncle Joe wants to 60,
we take him." Maj. Theison ex-
planned. Were his chauffeurs."
"Or his taxi drivers" Sergt.
Bowles put in.
"Or his carrier pigeons in case he
wants to send a message to the out
side world from his jungle head
quarters"
Maybe that doesn't sound like a
tough assignment. The sergeant
and the major grinned, and said
it was easy. But in answer to
questions, they reluctanly admitted:
Yes, Uncle Joe usually did want to
be in the thick of the fighting,
wherever 1t was meanest. And
wherever he goes. they go. Yes, it
was true he sometimes kept on the
go without rest for days or weeks
at time And his schedule Is their
schedule.
Have Other Jobs.
In between "chauffeuring," the
crew does some jobs on its own.
We're what you might call free
lance artists" the major explained.
when the general doesn't need us,
we find xtra-curricular activities.
We're an ambulance for the
wounded. We haul supplies, and
take Senators and other visitors
around the front"
And when Uncle Joe stays a
while at some base, we're part of
the crew at that field" Sergt. Bowles
said.
Yeah, and when the Japs come
over, I'm the first person in a
foxhole," Maj. Theison declared.
And I'm the second" the sergeant
echoed.
