NEGRO REGIMENT IN ACTION
ON WESTERN FRONT
FOR FIRST Time
By Rudolph Dunbar

WITH THE u. S. FIRST ARMY
IN FRANCE, Mar. II (ANP)-A
Negro regiment is now in action on
the western front for the first time
since D-day. They volunteered as a
result of an invitation extended to
them by 1t. Gen. G. H. Leo, Gen.
Eisenhower's deputy commander.
eve got tired of giving our sweat,
so we decided to give some blood"
Those were the words written in
a letter addressed to the command
ing officer who trained the Negro
regiment that is pushing forward
to tear the 'guts" out of the Ger
man barbarians. The men were
given an arduous course of six
weeks training in infantry weapons
and tactics such as MI rifles, light
80 caliber guns, mortars and ba-
zookas.
The regiment is made up of men
from port battalions ordnance quar-
termaster service companies and
quartermaster baker, units. They
had to go through orous physi-
cal examination and were given in
structions in route marches, patrol
ing and night attacks. They moved
up toward the front lines imbued
with the spirit Of vigorous opera
tions for war.
Ranking officers at the depot
unanimously declared that they had
never trained so enthusiastic a
group of reinforcements. Most out
spoken in his praise of the men was
1t. Col. Nolan Troxell, Little Rock,
former battalion commander Of
the 315th. Infantry regiment of the
10th division.
'If it were possible" he re-
marked, II would like to take bat
talon into combat under my per-
sonal command"

ANOTHER NEGRO

CHICAGO, Mar. II (ANP)-

CL|MBACH BATTLE WAS 9. =.
COURAGE PROVING GROUND

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE,
Mar. II (Delayed) (ANP)-Sone
said he was self conscious over be-
ing a Negro. The commanding Of
ficer of Company c. said he didn't
have to be there. Wasn't supposed
to be, but he was, leading the task
force column of tank destroyers.
Some even said he didn't have CUTS.
Two hours later, though, he
proved he had CUTS. Lots of them.
They were strewn over the battle
ground woods. His jeep had hit
mine, an "88" smacked it head on.
A machine-gun sprayed lead poi
son over his vitals. But he stayed
up there with his men until evacu-
ated.
The guys in the 614th tank de-
stroyer won't forget it. Nor can
they help but remember the blaz-
ing hell that was Climbach. 1t was
tough going all the way on this
seventh army sector. In the wet
and the cold, the sticky, knee deep
mud. Krauts on the towns out
skirts and ridgetops were having
a field day yanking lanyards.
Medics were a whirlpool of ac-
tivity rushing back and forth. Some
were dead. Others wounded. Ten
men gun crews don't last long un-
der a hail of fire from nobody
knew where. And they didn't. Soon
one man was loading, aiming, fir.
ing, doing a full crews job.

seven medium tanks, all manned by
white boys from the south, were ir
there pitching with black Joes. As
comrades. Brothers, one.
For two days it lasted, two days
and one blistering night. One man.

. arm. Several were mutilated be
yond recognition.
But the damage worked boil
ways. Vice versa showed a pill DO,

Boston Red Sox
Make Comeback
By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, June 20. CUP)-The
time was ripe Wednesday to give
out with cheers instead of tears for
the courageous comeback of Joe
Cronin's Boston Red Sox.
Just in case it hasn't been no
ticed, the bat-happy belters from
Beantown are playing the best base
ball of any team in either major
league since that day in April when
they won their first game of the
season after dropping eight straight.
Everything went bad from the
start for Cronin's clouters. In the
midst of that losing streak he snap
ped an ankle bone in a slide at
Yankee Stadium and as he was car
ried away it appeared as if the Red
SoX pennant chances were being
toted out along with him. In addi-
ton to being probably the best in
fielder in the American League. he
was dependable hitter and as the
teams pilot was needed so badly he
couldn't be spared even until he
could hobble with a cane without
hurting its chances.
So it was no surprise that the Red
SoX floundered badly at the start,
but it was pleasant to learn that no
team in either circuit, not even the
amazing Dodgers, have won as con-
sistenly since April %, the day that
losing streak ended.
The Red Sox, unlike nylons, are
better when there are plenty of
runs in them and they have been
getting enough to win a lot of ball
games-28 against 16 defeats-since
that almost fatal start.
They are leading the league in
hitting with a 266 mark, which
isn't unexpected since in recent
years they have depended on
punching instead of pitching to get
along.

Wlldllfe resources predicted Wednes-
