TOP OF THE MORNING

A father and his tiny son
Crossed a rough street one stormy day
"See, Papa" cried the little one,
I stepped in your steps all the way.'
If this man shirks his manhoods due
And needs what lying voices say,
1t is not one who falls, but two
81 stepped in your steps all the way!"

IN NORMANDY-Cby wireless)-
American aircraft gunners began
playing their important part in the
battle of Normandy right on D.
Day and shortly after H-Hour.
Ordinarily you wouldn't. think of
the antia1rcraft coming ashore with
the infantry, but little bit of ev-
erything came ashore on that me-
morable day - from riflemen to
press censors. From combat en-
gineers to chaplains-and every
body had hand in it.
The ack-ack was given place
in the very early waves because
the general in command felt that
the Germans would throw what air
strength they had onto the beaches
that day and he wanted his men
there to repel it.
AS it turned out, the Germans
didn't use their planes at all and
the ack-ack wasn't needed to pro-
tect the landings from air attack.
So like many other units, they
turned themselves into infantry or
artillery and helped win the battle
of the beaches.
They took infantry-like casualties,
too. One unit lost half of it's men
and guns.
When I started rounding up mate
rial for this ack-ack series I ran
onto the story of one crew Of ack-
ackers who had knocked out Ger
man 88 deeply ensconced in a thick
concrete emplacement-and did 1t
with tiny 37-MM gun, which is
somewhat akin to David Staying
Goliath.
So I hunted up this crew to see
how they did it. By that time they
had moved several miles inland, l
found them at the edge of small
open field far out in the country.
Their gun had been dug into the
ground. Two men sat constantly in
their bucket seats behind the gun,
keeping watch on the sky even IN
the daytime. The others slept IN
their pup tents under the bushes,
or just loafed around and breWed
an occasional cup of coffee.
The commander of this gun is
Sgt. Hyman Haas, of Brooklyn.
Sergeant Haas is an enthusiastic
and flattering young man who was
practically beside himself with de-
light when 1 showed up at their re-
mote position, for he had read this
column back in New York but had
not supposed our trails would ever
cross in an army this big. When l
told him I wanted to write little
about his crew he beamed and
said: Oh boy, wait till Flatoush
Ave. hears about this.
Their story is this:
They came ashore behind the
first wave of infantry. A narrow
valley leading away from the beach
at that point was blocked by the
German SS, which stopped every
thing in front of it. So Driver Bill
Hendrix from Shreveport, La,
turned their half-track around and
drove the front end back into the
water so the gun would be pointing
in the right direction.
Then the boys poured % rounds
into the pillbox. Some of their Shells
hit the small gun Sits and went
inside. At the end of their firing,
what Germans were left came out
with their hands up.
The boys were very proud OF their
achievement, but I was kind of

YOUTH PROBLEMS RECEIVE
ATTENTION OF TEEN-AGERS
{ Riverside Daily Press)

Caifornia's young folks-the teen
town inhabitants who receive considerable
attention in the enewsp2pers-got together
and discussed common youth problems
among themselves and with their elders
recently at the first statewide youth con-
ference in the nation.
The occasion was one we'll calculated
to challenge public interest. Discussion
groups were for the most part youth
conducted, as were panel talks, addresses
and reports on district youth meetings
and on teen town programs in various
individual communities.
Highlight of the conference, held for
two days in Sacramento, was the organ
ization of a statewide Youth council
composed of the various organizations of
young folks in the state.
The state convention was sponsored
by the California Youth Authority, who
asked the 'teen-agers to come to Sacra-
mento for a two-day conference, show
us what you want, and let us help you
with your problems
Approximately 400 young people re-
Sponded-about 100 more than the Sacra-
mento City Youth council had counted
on; the council canvassed the town for
extra beds and more than 100 private
homes opened their doors to the visitors,
who represented all types of private and
public organizations-'tee centers,
YWCAs and YMCAs, community centers,
churches, and so forth.
Representatives of the various youth
groups, large and small, met in churches,
schools and the YWCA to exchange point
ers on how to develop and maintain
membership interest; newly organized
groups took notes from older Organiza-
tions on types of activities to sponsor
and methods of financing activities; all
the groups learned from experienced
youth-minded adults how to meet social,
economic and racial barriers and how to
build constructive, unprejudiced recre-
alton programs.
Concrete results of this highly signifi-
cant conference, in which leaders of the
various groups represented met with Of
ficials of the California Youth Authority,
was the formation of the Youth council
and the laying of plans for the publica-
tion of a state youth bulletin to be pub
lished by the council and financed by the
state youth authority

Yanks E Burma
Make Record.
Saving Up Pay

/ MYITkY1NA, North Burma, Dec.
/ %. tUP)-Anybody who thinks the
American soldier in the Burma-In-
dia theater is playing loose with his
paycheck should take a look at the
books in the Myitkyina post office
they show the GIs are sending
home about s280,000 a month in
money orders.
One day recently the total sale Of
money orders amounted to S53,6l6,
according to Lieutenant Semitic A.
Rommel, Hempsted. New York, My
itkyina postal officer. And, he point
ed out. that's just one army post
cffice.
Besides money, the American SOL
diers in Burma are sending home
lot of packages, Rommel said. The
average day of outgoing mail is 4S
sacks of parcels and 16 sacks OF
letters. An average days sale OF
stamps to go on packages amounts
to about $4,000, he said.
JAP GRAVEYARD IN FRONT
The Myitkyina post office was
opened on August 10, about seven
days after the town itself fell to
Allied troops under General Joseph
w. Stilwell. The pest office was set
up in what had been the Myitkyina
court house in pre-war days,
fairly large brick structure, tall
enough to be a two-story building |
but having only one floor. The first
improvement was japanese grave !
yard, which Rommel and his two
assistants dug right in front of the
Five japanese, found IN
the building, we're buried there.
When the new postoffice was first !
occupied the entire postal staff con-
sisted of Rommel, T/5 Rodney w.
Robinson, Valparaiso, Indiana, anc
Private Chester Locy, San Francisco,
California. I'VE worked like hell
Rcmmel said. Now there are two Oh
ficers and l3 enlisted men and the
work is still hard. They are on duty
from 8 a. m. each day until some
times as late as a. m. the next DAY,
seven days a week.
MAKES GOOD TIME
Rommel said that mail from the
United States was now making good
time in getting to Myitkyina. The
best known time 80 far is six days
from Chicago to Myitkyina. Rommel
was particularly impressed by this
since a lot of Christmas packages
started coming in about the first
of November, adding to the volume
of the mail. Daily averages is about
1O6 sacks of packages and Is sacks
CT letters.
In the beginning there was no
daily mail. 1t arrived only twice
week.
The Myitkyina postal authorities
made one record once OF which
Rommel is extremely proud. I'VE
delivered a letter to soldier in the
front lines" he said, lin seven days
and IA hours from Chicago"
Packages sent home by GIs con-
tain just about everything, Rommel
said, from Japanese rifles to ivory
and silver trinkets which are OBJ
tanned by various means from the
native citizens. |

WHY RUSSIA LAGS
(San Bernardino Sum

There is much speculation concerning
Russia's current war effort. The Rus
slams are fighting over great expanse of
territory, but they are not directing
major thrust at any vital spot in Ger
many.
1t has not been forgotten that Russia's
greatest military successes have been in
winter warfare. When the snow is deep,
the blue winds rage and the going is
hard for other armies, the Muscovites
find conditions made to order for them.
It is conceivable that, Stain, after
clearing the northern and southern wings
of Nazi resistance will hurl winter drive
through Poland that the enemy will find
irresistible. If so, this fighting will be
repetition of that of last winter, and the
one before, which have seen the Russians
advancing and the Germans retreating.
Only this time the Nazis will have little
retreating room left before reaching the
end of their rope.
