PATToN's BACKGROUND

To understand Patton IL is nee
essary TO know his background.
His family goes back through
the military history of the United
States, TO a great-grandfather--
Gen. Mercer-who was killed by
the HeSsians al Princeton. during
the Revolution: 10 another grand
father, John Wilson. who crossed
the Indian country to become
mayor OF Los Angeles when Los
Angeles was still under Mexican
government: 10 his father. a colo
mel Of Confederate cavalry.
The family tradition will con-
tinue, woven into the military his
tory Of the United States, through
his son, George 6. Patton III. now
in West Point, and through the
husbands of his two daughters,
Ruth Ellen and Beatrice.
Both husbands are in the army
and their sons. as soon as they
reach military age, will be dedi-
Gated to lives in the service.
Gen. Patton's family and that
OF Mrs. Patton have been patri-
clans for generations. There is
wealth, great wealth, on both
sides of the family. And wealth

troops keep firing at the enemy,
or, if the enemy can not be seen,

He fought against the psychic
logical effect on his troops Of be-
ing pinned down by the enemy.
Patton insisted on close
ordination of his ground troops

II is equally ironlc that Patton,

If you guzzle beer occasionally (two cans per man every other day), you'll need a chit for this. Several of the open air movies require chits. If you are attached to ship, you need liberty chits.
