London, Mar. 3. CUPl-The OF

He'd give q weeks pay for . glass
Of ice-cold American beer ana an
evening with the gang In the bowl
Ing alley back home. He'd Ike 70
meet O 'really nice English girl"
but mostly doesn't know how, And
most Of ell, he hopes TO bump into
someone from his own home town.
Cpl. Howard Steadily Q six.footer
from Portsmouth, O., Is typical.
"I'm having q grand leave" he
told me, delicately balancing Q din
ner tray over the heads Of crowds
In o Red Cross cafeteria. That's
because I arranged before coming
here to meet up with six other
Portsmouth guys"
Steahly had never met them &c
home, but the fact they came from
Portsmouth was enough for him.
The CT in London disproves tho
old adage that Americans abroad
are clustering folk who know their
way around. He's so shy he usually
splends his FIRST leave here wan
dering aimlessly around the streets
too bashful even to ask directions.
It Is only on his third or fourth
leave that he begins to feel OF
home. This Is because he has worked
out routine Of doing exactly what
he does at home-going to Amer
lean movies and lounging In the
pub. Pubs are the British social
equivalents OF the corner drugstore.
"Most of us are small-town fel-
lows who don't dance and don't like
shows" Sgt. Robert Whitford,
Green Spring, w. Va, told me over
coffee and doughnuts at Rainbow
Corner, most popular Red Cross
club In London. $50 we 60 70 tho
pubs. It's kinda coy sitting around
over q beer and chatting with tho
barman."
American soldiers are rather shy
OF British homes, too. Invitations
from friendly English folk are far
more numerous than acceptances.
When the OF does drop around for
dinner, he usually takes along @
pal for moral support. He also takes
some food for stringently rationed
British dinners. English families
are daily nonplussed by large gifts
Of chewing gum.
Gwen Winningham, Cape 0irars
deau, Mo-, Red Cross worker who
answers thousands OF queries daily
at Rainbow Corner, says that most
Of the requests for hot spots come
from the boys from big Northern
cities.
"southerners prefer Sightseeing"
she told the United Press. "They
get along best In London because
they're used TO early curfews on
drinking hours such as prevail here.
Middle Westerners like roller~
skating Kinks. There must be moro
Of them In their part Of the coun"
try"
Half the Americans In the Nisscn
huts scattered oil over England arc
too shy even TO come to London
on leave. They prefer smaller cities
like oxford and Cambridge. There
they can get away from barracks
atmosphere by taking q hotel room.
Pre- invasion London Is 80 crowded
today that before he can come here
the American soldier must DO ass
signed O specific bed In Red Cross
club. Otherwise chances are he'll
be bllleted In the AFRAID shelter
OF O West End hotel.

Fishing Is O subject about which
Gen. Smith can, and will, talk at
length and with authority. He "
the sort of fisherman who takes
on sailhSh In the Gulf Stream with
O six-ounce tip rod, which Is about
the tackle most people use for bass.
His hobbies run along the same
line. In his spare time-there has
been none since he arrived In Eng
land nearly two years ago to join
Gen. EiSenhoWer-he makes his
own split bamboo rods ties his own
trout and bass flies, and does "a
little amateur gunsmithing." He Is
extremely interested IN antique
silver.
Those interests sound far re-
moved from inVaSions OF North
Africa and second fronts In Eu-
rope. Gen. Smith has been deeply
involved In the planning OF both
operations, and In the translation
OF plans into hard-hitting amphibi-
Gus assaults.
The Job OF chief OF STAFF to any
commanding general Is O behind
the-scenes one, and that Ia where
Gen. Smith believes he should stay.
"A good staff officer should re-
main O sort OF extension OF the
mind Of his communicating chief"
he says.
Smith Is O very good staff officer.
British officers who served on the
Anglo-American STAFF In the Medi-
terranean credit him with q big
contribution TO the remarkable
teamwork which was achieved.
The general prefers that pub
Lefty about him be restricted to
his official biography, which re-
cords that he was born In Indian
apolis, Ind, October 8, 1895, and be-
gan soldering as q private in the
Indiana National Guard"
He was commissioned as second
lieutenant In the 3oth Infantry, 4th
Division, on November ~, 1917, and
served with the unit In France until
he was wounded.
He served at various infantry
posts In the United States after the
war, and on the Mexican border
and IN the Philippines. He attended
the Infantry School and the Com
mand and General STAFF School,
and the War College. He became
bridagier general in February, 1912.
Smith was the first United States
Secretary OF the Combined Chiefs
OF STAFF Committee. In September,
1912, he Joined Gen. Eisenhower's
staff In London.
He Is above average height, well
built, and obviously equippde with
enough energy to keep pace with
the energetic Eisenhower. He wears
four rows Of medal ribbons from
this and the last war, the Legion
OF Merit, the KCB, the Legion Of
Honor, and the Croix de duerre
with palm.
His Job has kept Gen. Smith
steadily ct his desk since his ar
rival In London. But there is no
suggestion Of "chairborne infan-
try" about him. He obviously has
stood the ordeal well.
He does get little wistful about
hunting and fishing, though.
