WRITES VERSE TO POINT UP
 ARMY CRIPES
By DOROTHY ALEXANDER

ny DOANO 4 AA fAAA1<AfAANOGAI United Press Staff Correspondent) Denver, Col, July 28 = (UP) = The CTS Ogden Nash is S/Sgt. Carl J. Harris of Lowry Field, Denver. A native Kentuckian, Harris has put the doughboys' gripes into ironic verse. Taking advantage of poetic license, the sergeant turned out this little warning: "Guys who stand on street corners
 and whistle Don't realize some day niss'H Take lem up."
 The CT bard started writing verses long ago to amuse his bud- dies during the long, lonely nights in Iceland. He's a veteran of 38 months of overseas service as a fighter armorer.
 Typical of common doughboy gripes are doctors and CT food. Harris put them in poetry, thus: Guys who gripe about the chow Usually eat it anyhow"
 and Whether it's headache, backache
 or chillS,
 GI doctors give aspirin pills"
 A more elaborate bit of verse con- cernS inspections: Inspections I've stood here and
 there
 Remind me of country fair. The troops stand rigid like a rock And get inspected just like stock. One rhyme which finds sym- pathetic ear, not only among the GIs but among civilians, too, is: T think they should smear feathers
 and tar on
 People who say, don't you know
 there's war on?'"
 From Harris caustic pen emerges this bit of philosophy for the sons of Nippon:
 Final illustration of Jap ambition Is crack-up on take-off on a suicide
 mission"
 But the one dearest to the dough- boys heart is the following couplet: 'I wish I could join the millions Of civilians"
