ed in Buckner Bay on Okinawa. Up
farther north we went, and finally
sighted Korea. I never thought, or
imagined I'd be that far away from
home. We arrived at Korea a month
ago today, Sept. z.
Ours was the command ship, so
we had lot of gold-braid aboard.
Admiral Barley was in command Of
the 7th Amphibious Force. 1t. Gen.
Hodges was aboard the Catectin
too. General Hodges was going to
accept the surrender terms from
the Japs.
We landed in the port of Jinsen,
Korea, and on the 9th of September
you could see an array of trans
ports, and a much larger group of
bargeS with our occupational troops.
1t was mighty nice to see our men
taking over some land without get
ting killed, or killing. In the two
days our outfit was there we stood
radio watches.
We left Korea on the 18th of Sep
tember aboard the U.S.S. Anzio
eve, and we had pretty nice time.
It was rough most of the way down
here, but we enjoyed it very much.
They had to put all the planes on
the hangar deck and secure them for
typhoon. We had army cots all
over the hangar deck, under plane
motors, bomb bay and wings. You
had to watch your step because
there. were cables all over. They
finally respected the planes on the
flight deck, and we had our cots all
arranged once more.
We had shows most every night
We could play volley ball, had ice
cream, good chow, music most OF
the time. You see, we were pas
sengers, and all of the men except
our air support unit went back tc
the states. We arrived at Pearl on
Sept. 30th.
The following day was my birth
day, and spent it as usual. We came
over to Camp Andrews on the 3rd
and still have five more days o1
rest.
This is a racket. We don't do q
thing but,-rest-Sl eat, &C

trunks wherever we go. We can &c

time we please, although we have

become a memory, and you can just
imagine how glad we all are to go
back to our Uncle Sugar, where
once again we can enjoy that de-
licious new French stuff called beer.
Of course, there's that stuff you
statesiders call whiskey, but most OF
us have forgotten what it tastes
like or what it look like.
We've had a recess from life and
are about to start anew. You should
listen to the pipe-dreams most of
these guys have. The majority want
to go back and plunge into some
kind of business, mostly cocktail
lounges. So if these guys don't
change their minds, night-lifers are
gonna have plenty of places to go
or will they?
Although 1 say all this, still
have my fingers crossed. A guy can
never tell what these big Wheels"
Cieutenants to you) will decide next.
They'll knock us off the shipping
list Cfor the convenience of the
Government and keep us sweating
for another couple of months.
Well, Craig, I'll B-CN-U around

Labor Lauded For
Outbuilding Japs In
Field Of Heavy Machines

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).- EN-
phasizing the value Of heavy machin-
cry in defeating Japan, Secretary Of
Navy James Forrestal praised the
wartime efforts of labor and manage
ment in producing record volumes Of
heavy machinery, enabling our forces
to outbuild the japanese in airfields,
roads, and advance base construction.
Coinciding with Secretary Forres-
tabs remarks came the report that
Philippines landing field which could
MT be built" because of quicksand,
swamps and impossible depressions,
was open for business in three weeks
time, thanks to labor's own fabulous
Seabees who manned the heavy trucks,
bulldozers, and power shovels turned
out months ago by American labor.
"Modern war;" Forrestal said, "is
war of machines, not merely the act
ual machines of military offense, but
the heavy machinery for rapid con-
struction Of airfelds, roads, masses,
etc.
"This is segment Of industry,
which the japanese apparently never
developed, and they therefore have
not been able to compete with us in
either the speed or scope Of construc-
tion. The kind Of machinery | refer
to is produced by vast number Of
American firms formerly building
peacetime products, now deyoting
their energies to war;"

ARMY OFFICER HITS
CONSCRIPTION DRIVE

New York City (ILNS).-F on
the high pressure campaign conducted
by the War and Navy Departments
and the Selective Service System to
high pressure Congress to accept now
a policy of peacetime conscription
comes from Col. Roscoe S. Conkling,
in pamphlet '9The Case Against
Compulsory Peacetime Military Train
ing," Postwar World Council, 112
East 19 ST., New York 3, N. Y. 1Oc)
Until Jan. 25th Col. Conkling, who
was first Director Of the Draft in New
York City during the World War /,
served as a member Of the Presidential
Appeal Board on Selective Service;
then he returned to inactive status at
his own request. He could not have
written this pamphlet had he remained
in active service, he makes clear, for
he says that although high Army Of
ficials kept talking for compulsory
peacetime military service, he was un-
able to get permission to speak
against it.
COL Conkling charges that Army
and Navy, ostensibly busy with moth
ing but the war, have been used as
propaganda agencies for the enact
ment Of compulsory military training
legislation, which he declares is un-
necessary and dangerous to democ-
racy.
In foreword, Prof. Alonzo F.
Myers of New York University, de-
clares that revelations in the pamphlet
"or of such nature that Congress
should investigate them thoroughly
before acting on proposals for peace
time compulsory military training"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-04-06

That will be a stupid way of think,
and and acting. But, it is far easier
not to think than it is to think.
If members of mobs ever thought,
even little, there never would be a
mob.
When Germany is knocked out
the war will NOT be over. Re-
straints cannot be erased. We
cannot all do just as we please.
If we were not at war with Ger
many, but only with Japan, we should
know much more and feel much more
deeply the cost and effort of the war
with the japanese barbaric people.
We shall have first grade war
still on our hands when Germany is
finished.
For THAT, we must keep our heads.
True enough, the war with Japan is
also going well. But Japan has a
great army and it can fight on over a
long period, at great cost to US.
We shall have to sit bit steady in
the boat, unless we want to increase
the cost of the war with Japan.
But there is more than that in the
picture of the future.
Ending of the war with Japan will
not be like the ending of World War
l.
When World War / ended there was
j great hue and cry to get the boys
home in the shortest possible time.
And that was done.
But when this war ends in Germany
the boys will not be brought home in
rush
We shall have great armies of our
own men to feed and clothe and sup
ply with all manner of things for
months and months and perhaps for
years.

look first at profit and second at
country. And there will be--for they

will be just as stupid and just as sell
fish for power and prestige, often

than nuisance value.
It will be the people John and Bill

heads when the great day comes.
We can rock to its roots the economy
of our nation and we can endanger
the next decade, just by being shall
low minded and nit-wittef; just by
yielding to the crazy yelping Of mob
leader.
Or we can help our country to go
