Yank Lonely on
Leave In London
He'd Like to Meet Really
Nice English Girl, but
Doesn't Know How. =

LONDON.-The G.I. on leave ir
London is a real lonesome boy.
He'd give a weeks pay for a glass
Of ice-cold American beer and an
evening with the gang in the bowl
ing alley back home. He'd like to
meet a "really nice English girl"
but mostly doesn't know how. And,
most of all, he hopes to bump into
someone from his own home town.
Corp. Howard Steadily, a six-footer
from Portsmouth, Ohio, is typical.
"I'm having a grand leave" he
told me, delicately balancing a din
ner tray over the heads of crowds
in a Red Cross cafeteria. That's
because I arranged before coming
here to meet up with six other Ports
mouth guys"
Steadily had never met them at
home, but the fact they came from
Portsmouth was enough for him.
Too Bashful to Talk.
The CT. in London disproves the
old adage that Americans abroad
are clustering folk, who know their
way around. He's so shy, he usually
spends his first leave here wander
ing aimlessly around the streets, too
baShful even to ask directions.
1t is only on his third or fourth
leave that he begins to feel at home.
This is because he has worked out
a routine of doing exactly what he
does at home--going to American
movies and Longing in the pub.
Pubs are the British social equiva-
Tents of the corner drugstore.
"Most of us are small-town fellows
who don't dance and don't like
shows" Sergt. Robert Whitford,
Green Springs, w. Va, told me over
coffee and doughnuts at Rainbow
Corner, most popular Red Cross
club in London. $50 we go to the
pubs. It's kinda cozy sitting around
over a beer and chatting with the
barman."
Shy From Homes.
American soldiers are rather shy
Of British homes, too. Invitations
from friendly British folk are far
more numerous than acceptances.
When the CT. does drop around for
dinner, he usually takes along a 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 Girar-
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

drinking hours, such as prevail
here.

4-H CLUBS

The third meeting of the Blue
Ribbon Boosters All club was called
to order April 1 by Alma Fox at
the Fox home. 1t was decided to
collect waste paper for the paper
drive and to use the money for the

The principal part of the pro
gram was the cooking of a meal,
the first the members had prepar-
ed. They served several dishes.
Later they played ball.
The next meeting will be April
Is at the Beslanowitch home.
The fifth meeting of the Sunny
Valley All Farmers was called to

13 persons, including three service
men, charged with aiding inductees
to obtain 4-F deferments and with
draft evasion. They have pleaded
innocent
Two others, Mrs. Florence Wheeley
and Harry j. Dasch, jr., arrested by
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton June on charges of counseling,

inductees to avoid military service,

United States Commissioner James
K. Cullen ordered a sixteenth man,
c. Karl Martin, 80, of Hagerstown,
released under s2,500 bond for Fed
eral grand jury action on similar
charge. United States Attorney
Bernard J. Flynn said there was no
connection between Martin and the
other Is, although they were ar
rested about the same time.
Mrs. Katherine Scott testified that
Martin offered to obtain deferment
for her brother for $3.50, advising
him to take stimulant to induce
illness and to postpone induction
until he could raise the money. Mrs.
Scott told the commissioner that
her brother did not do so and was
indicted. Martin failed to get him
medical discharge as he subse-
quently offered, she said.
The servicemen charged are Ches-

of an hour I had reached q small
village and slipped into French
shop where 1 bought sandwiches.
"An old lady refused money, but l
left so francs on the counter
1T was after leaving this village
that I ran into trouble.
Il remembered Gen. Eisenhower
words in his letter and knew then
I just had to keep on moving. I
tricked a sniper into disclosing his
position by throwing rocks to draw
his fire. One shot silenced him"
Pvt. Mullins said that after what
seemed hours he finally reached his
destination. On his way back he
lost his original route and was
stopped by machine-gun fire. He
went in close and tossed a hand
grenade. 1t silenced the enemy.
The young Virginian said he saw
a German shoot at crew members
of an American tank. He shot the
German and took pad he had in
his hand.
Pad Had Valuable Data.

related, "a shell exploded in front
of me. I don't know when, but il

lain later told me the pad I had
taken from the German had valu-

aid. There a soldier told me that
after I left the command post 1t
was hit by shell and the chaplain
was killed. I want another crack

Gently by Gen. Eisenhower: Il have

he had lost his own copy of the
letter. Here is his story:
