DefnS Ask Rs1bor Rs151 Probe
Slain to Make
A Russian Holiday

AN AMERICAN parachutist was killed, another
"A sustained broken neck and three others were
seriously injured in an exhibition flight over the
Templehof Airdrome near Berlin the other day.
They were members of the famous 82d Air
borne Division of the United States Army.
It was the first fatality in the division since its
combat Jump at Nijmegen, Holland.
It occurred, according to the press report,
during formal review and air drop in honor of
Marshal Georgi Zhukov."
Why are our American boys still being re-
quired to risk and LOSE their lives in useless and
purposeess exhibitions, now that the war is over?
1t is time to stop SLAUGHTERING our
American boys for any purpose, but particularly
for the purpose of making RUSSIAN HOLI-
DAY.
THE responsible officers of the American Army
in Europe should have higher concept of
their responsibility than needlessly and recklessly
to endanger the lives of our young heroes who
fought and won the war.
If these officers MUST "show off, for the
honor and edification of Russian generals and
visiting American congressman in a manner in
volving the risk and loss of American lives, why
do not THEY take the risks and do the dying in
stead of assigning American soldiers to the hazard
Gus and futile task?
Let some of the American generals Jump out
of airplanes with parachutes for exhibition pur-
poses if they want to, but let them stop PLAYING
WITH THE LIVES of our American boys.
If there is no more important work for our
boys in Europe than this, let them send the boys
HOME
There are already too many DEAD American
heroes in Europe.
Why should more of them be killed and
manned, just to IMPRESS dignitaries sitting COM
fortably in safe places?
If this is what Occupation MEANS let us
have as little of it possible and get it over as
quickly as possible.
The American people want their boys brought
home ALIVE, and not put up for further slaughter.
