WASHINGTON, March 90
w The army promised a year
of training for soldiers but a
Mifflintown, Pa, soldier was
killed six months after induc-
ton.
Two 18-year-old prep school
graduates, inducted in Septem-
Der, were in France in January.
Some District of Columbia boys
OF 18 were killed, four months
after drafting.
Yet the army had also prom
ised not TO use the 18-year-olds
except for training.
A proper explanation of this
situation (which has melted
bitter comment publicly and
privately, through the country
has been given to a congress
siona' committee, but not gen.
orally divulged.
The army ran into unexpected
shortages in infantry, and not
only decided TO abandon the
year of training for Is year olds
and some others more than a
year ago without announce
ment, but actually instituted a
Is weeks training program for
battle in some infantry in
stances. Products of this 15-
week preparation were sifted
into other veteran trained COM
panies.
No one likes this situation,
but as the army has put it on
the ground of military neces-
sity, in tereste d congress
men have decided TO do nothing
about it.

CALLIES in Our Alley-A girl
~ went into a midtown drug
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1945-01-19
HOW WILL YOU HAVE
YOUR POSTWAR CAR?

The society of Automotive Engi-
neers wants suggestions from the
public on the construction of post
war cars. 1t has sent out the follow
ing list Of questions, to which Elmer
Twichell has appended answers:
1-Should automobile bodies be
made longer or more compact so
they could be parked easier?
Ans.-Shorten them up, boys!. And
how's about installing swivel SO
they can be folded in the middle?
2-What is the better type Of body,
the standard five-passenger, four
door sedan or the model with two
large doors?
Ans.-That two-door buggy is okay
only for gymnasts and contortion-
lists. And when you open one of those
doors you are practically establish
ing a roadblock.
3-Should headr0Om be sacri-
feed fer a low, rakish roof?
Ans.-Are you kidding? Lower
that roof another quarter-inch and
only turtle can be comfortable in
it. You might keep the roof where
it is, but cut holes in it for heads
and hats.
4-Would an air-cOnditioning unit
for summertime be worth the extra
cost?
Ans.-It depends on the extra cost.
Personally / think it mistake to
make the autoist any more COM
Portable. He seems to be asleep most
of the time now. Has he become too
lazy to open window?
5-Does the windshield c0nstruc-
ton and design permit vision clear
enough for safe driving?
Ans.-Now you're on vital mat
ter, mister. The primary need is
a new type of windshield glass to
which no sticker can stick. A wind
shield should be windshield, not
combination filing cabinet, bill
board and wastebasket.
A driver should no longer be in
doubt whether what he sees direct
ly ahead of him is pedestrian or
his tire certificate. And no sunset is
improved if the sun appears to be
setting behind his toll-gate sticker,
Federal auto tax and parking-space
stamp.
6-Has ornamentation gone too
far? Has too much attention been
paid to fancy hardware, fancy
shapes, contours, etc.?
Ans.-It is high. time to draw a
line somewhere between automo-
biles and nightclub bar fixtures. Ra-
diator ornaments should seem less
like meathooks. And those door
knobs rip a lot of garments.
7-ShOuld the new cars be so de-
signed as to place the driver fur
Their front or further back?
Ans.-Further backl He seldom
sees the red lights from where he
is now!

THE PRIVATE PAPERS
OF PRIVATE PURKEY

Dear Harriet
Well Congressman Clare Luce
came to the front and fired howit-
ger, but them Germans is still re-
sisting and it looks like we would
have to try something else. I was
very disappointed by the results.
Miss Luce fired the gun okay. Her
form was good and her rhythm was
pretty fair. Also so far as we know
the gun was alright.
We all waited breatherlessly ON
account of this was the first time
any gun with SO much person
atty behind it had been used i'm the
war. Also never before had
gunner been SO perfectly dressed,
with no flaw in the style nowhere.
The lady wore regulation officers
coat and pants, with ski-shOeS, wool
en- socks, a dotted kerchief with
muffler to match and earrings. ut
was the first experiment with
earrings by either side SO far.)
Well, like said we all waited for
big results but nothing special
happened. There was the same ex-
plosion, roar and distant explosion
but no white flags. Sergent Moon
ey says the Krauts did not know who
was firing that howitzer and that
our side fell down in not notify
ing them. He says If the Krauts
had anybody half as good looking
as Clare Luce behind a gun Goeb-
bells would of been warning the
whole world about it for weeks in
advance.
feel better about the whole war.
I hope Miss Luce sticks around and
that in the next campaign we get

Any Bradleyite who pledges al- legiance to swing music in any Of it's many forms can't help but view coming events with more than passing interest. Tommy Dorsey, "The Sentimental Gentleman" will open up Riverside's summer season tonight, the 18th. From all ap- pearances, this clambake promises to be sellout and we'll worth the price of two fish for the ducats.
 Anyone who has learned to tune a radio switch to the lon" position has heard of "T. D." For many a year, Tommy has been a top swing favorite and has sent many musi- clans and vocalists on the road to fame. The first Dorsey band was a partnership between Tommy and his brother Jimmy. Around 1881 this combination looked very prom ising, but numerous. quarrels and differences of opinion washed them up. Tommy formed his own band in 1885 and came out with strong outfit, including some of the best "sidemen' in the business. Some of these greats, Maxie Kaminsky, the late Bunny Berigen (trumpets), /, Bud Freeman (tenor), Johnny Mince (clarinet) and Dave Turf (drum), teamed up with Tommy on the "tram" to form the "Clam- bake Seven". This small combine swung out in the Dixie land fashion and produced Dorsey's greatest music from a purely jazz stand point.
 The Dorsey band as a whole fea- tured sweet and choral numbers. Marie, "Who" and "Yearning" fall in the latter group. Marie" was a sensation and did more than anything else to make" Tommy and a then unknown vocalist, Jack Leonard. Dating from the phe nomenal success of Marie, Dor sey's band has been rated one of the top four bands in all the land.
 To avoid any bloodshed, we will just mention in passing that for a while Tommy's featured vocalist was a boy named Sinatra-we think his first name was Frank or Francis or something like that.
 Tommy is, without doubt, the most popular and we'll known of the trombone specialists. However, he is not the best. Jack Teagarden and Mfr Mole, to name two, are better musicians than Tommy and have solved the knack of inter pretation in a way far superior. In sweet" execution though, Dorsey leads the field. His many offerings in the sentimental moods have ranked him as the ideal dance band soloist. Tommy Dorsey can't be topped for a steady, smooth, yet sensational style. Many of his rec ords are classics in their field, also his band, hence his style is popular year after year.
