Quota Smashed;
 Goal To Go

Bradley's Bond buyers have smashed their cash quota of $49,- 300 by purchasing s66,813.75 worth of Bonds across the counter and are within less than $22,000 of meet ing the Jackpot" goal of $125, ,O00.
 Spurred by the recent Civilian War Bond Rally the Bases total Bond buying, including cash sales and Class A and B allotments, amounts to S103, ,271.75. This figure does not, however, include recent allotments and the expected last minute payday rush of Bond buy ing which should assure the Base of meeting it's s125,000 goal. When the goal is reached a medium bomb CT will be dedicated to the Base. A breakdown on the present total shows that military personnel bought $37,550 worth of Bonds for cash and civilians s29,263.75. Class A and B allotment sales amounted to S36,458. :.
 The Bond Drive will end at mid night Monday. Monday is payday. We still have a goal to meet and war to win. 'Nough said!

Maj. Harry K. Collin, Ex-Merchandise Man, Bradley's PIX Officer

During the past two hot months and for the coming month when you dig down for dime and lay it on the line for a cold one, you are doing business with Major Harry K. Collin, the Bradley Field Post Exchange Officer.
 The Major was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, and after the usual primary education, he took a busi- ness course at Northwestern Uni versity and a merchandising course at New York Prep. He entered bus mess with his father in 1929 and after gaining some valuable expe- rience became connected with the Sears-Roebuck Company. He has been employed by this famous con- cern ever since as merchandise manager in various installations all over the country, having worked in the Chicago branch with Donald M. Nelson, the head of the WIPE.
 In July 1912, he was commission ed Captain and attended the Ar my Exchange School at Princeton University. A month later, he was sent to Presque Isle, Maine, to take charge of the Post Exchange there. While at this Army Air Base, he set up exchanges in Canada and also in Newfoundland, besides touring Greenland for the possibil- ity of building branches in that frigid cline. During his stay at Preque Isle, that Base was the jumping off place for numerous Groups, one of which was the one to which Captain Clark Gable was assigned. For the three weeks that Captain Gable was at the Base, he roomed with Major Collin and the two Officers became fast friends.
 The Major arrived at Bradley

 MT. c. w. Berry, Chief Clerk of Civilian Personnel, acted as Mas ter of Ceremonies during the affair and made a surprise introduction of It. Col. Lee Tucker, War Bond Off, ficer of the First Service Command. Col. Tucker, who had just flown in from Ohio, was thoroughly pleased with the splendid showing of Brad ley's Civilian Personnel in the cur rent Drive.
 As an added feature to the inter esting program, The Base Special Service Office presented the Nor man Corwin anti-Fascist radio dra- ma "Untitled," which featured Pvt. Gerald Wilson, Sgt. Edward Far ris, Pvt. James Maloof, SSgt' Curtis Sanders, SSgt. Edgar L. Young, Pvt. Frances Perry, Pfc George Hallaby, Pfc. Barbara Station, Pvt. Kay Tromley, S/Sgt Pete Luddy, Pvt. Robert Helwell and Sgt. James Luddy.
 Col. H. E. Johnson, Base Area Commander, presented cash awards amounting to S400 to three men who made outstanding, time-saving suggestions. Rolf Roman, foreman of the propeller shop, was the reel pient of $25O for three "speeder-up- pers." Bernard Grimm and Leslie Bonney split $50 for their joint entry on a sure-proof test of the

"We, who have fought over there and are still fighting over there, have no better morale booster than to see crate marked The Spirit of Prairie Junction or The Spirit of F1atbush' or any Hometown USA.' because then we know the folks back home are not letting us down. Buy the Bonds to bring the boys back soon." These are the words of Major Bob Johnson, Am erica's Ace Thunderbolt fighter, who has at least twenty-seven vic tories to his credit.
 It was Bradley's good fortune to have such a man as Major John son literally drop from the skies on the day of it's big Civilian War Bond Rally for, with the above words, sufficient impetus was given the occasion to prompt the pur- chase of S10,0O0 worth of Bonds. This magnificent showing left the soldiers in multi" with less than S4,00O to purchase before the Drive closes on the first of August.
 Feature of the day was the mes sage given by Colonel H. E. John son, Base Area Commander, who said, in part: Here at this Base we are a small item in the whole effort. From small beginnings we have grown up. But we are not old and tired. We have life in us and we have much to do. The pilots we will train in the coming months will accomplish over Berlin and Tokio as much as others have done over Africa and New Guinea. We

MARSHALL GIVES
PEACE ARMY PLAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. l. Up -
Gen. George c. Marshall has told
army planners that the postwar
American army must consist of the
smallest possible professional Or
ganization, with citizen reserves,
because the large standing army
has no place among the institu-
tons of modern Democratic
state.''
His directive, it was learned to-
night, has just been issued as basic
policy for all officers planning the
permanent postwar army organi-
cation. 1t contains, however, a
warning that the wartime army
may be needed long after the de-
feat of the Axis powers, in order
to help establish peacetime condi-
tons agreed upon by the Allies.
And it contains also a statement
that the policy directive is based
on the assumption that Congress
will approve a system of univer-
sal military training, under which
every able bodied young Ameri-
can shall be trained to defend his
country" remaining a member OF
the reserve components of the ar
my for reasonable period" after
his training is completed.
Details of the permanent organi
cation, the directive says, cannot
be determined until the nations
postwar commitments are known
they change with the changes in
weapons, modes of transportation,
and international relations. II
adds, however, that the type OF
organization-the small profession
al nucleus augmented in emergen-
cies by the citizen army-has been
the American way since the foun-
dalton of the Republic and will
therefore be made the basis for all
plans for postwar peace estab
lishment." w.

Allied avalanche that has thunder
ed 400 miles from Brest to Bel
GUM in a month is deploying for
the Battle of Germany, the immi-
nent and final phase of the war
in Europe.
From British Tommies n d
American doughboys up to the high
est generals in command there is
a quiet spoken confidence that
neither Germany's Wanted border
defenses nor the harried German
army can stop this next great blow.
Staff officers for weeks in the
early stages of the invasion insisted
over and over again that the Ger
man army OF the west could be de-
feated in Normandy. 1t was-in one
of the few fully decisive. victories
in the history of warfare.
Within 10 weeks the Allies stood
poised on the Belgian border and
in the Argonne within so miles of
the German frontier.
In flight which equalled or sur
passed the withdrawal after the de-
feat at Stalingrad, it was obvious
that the German army could not
muster another really organized
stand on the soil of France.
But the full import of the defeat
of the German armies in France
went even beyond that. From Gen.
Eisenhower himself came the sig
nificant comment that no defense
line was better than the troops who
