The first all-colored group of

Picture of the first Negro SOL
dier to kill a Jap on Bougainville
Island was featured in the press
last week. He is Pvt. James O'Ban-
ner, Of Sidon, Miss. His opponent
was ten feet away from him when
OBanner saw him first. Quick
action accounted for the bag.
A former member of the 758th
Tank battalion, 1t. F. B. Peoples,
was killed recently near Tuskegee,
Ala, while making routine train
ing flight in a P-40 plane. 1t.
Peoples was a member of the last

At one place anyway, wounded
servicemen will get better treat
ment than most were able to enjoy
ever in their lives, the dedication
of the England General hospital,
indicates. The buildings, cornpris-
ing five swanly hotels in Atlantic
City, N. j., where no one could
live at less than $4,000 per day,
is now occupied by conyalescent
soldiers, regardless of race. APP
proximately ten per cent of the
patients at the hospital are color
ed and a policy of no discrimina-
ton in eating, sleeping, exercising,
and attending clinics and recrea-
ton rooms is strictly adhered to.
Since the hospital opened 3,242
soldiers have been hoSpitaized
and 1883 returned to duty. The
hospital is named for Thomas M.

The Oath Infantry, in amphib-
ious landings in Bougainville, near
the Mavavia and Moy rivers, aid
ed by tanks and flame throwers,
put to flight japanese forces in
that area, suffering few casualties
because of proper planning and
execution of their tactics.
Elements of the 93rd Infantry
Division, also in Bougainville,
South Pacific, are also pushing
back the JapS from that advanced
base. In conjunction with White
and Fijian forces, they are liqui-
dating many Japanese units which
are trapped without hope of evacu-
alton.
Major General o. w. Griswold
commander of operations there,
praised the work of his infantry
troops highly. General GriSwoId
said: "They have made an excel
lent start in jungle warfare. AL
though they have not been in
wholesale combat like Guadal-
canal or the New Georgia cam
paigns, they have, with merit, ac-
complished missions assigned to
them"
Meanwhile, the hosts of Quar-
termaster truck regiments with
the Fifth Army units in Italy are
continuing to keep vital supply
lines humming. Many of the men
now active in Italy are veterans of
the North African campaign.
