Coolest Guy in the Navy
Saw Beginning and End

while II was passing through 4
nest of German submarines in
the Caribbean Sea.
II kept knocking SOS signals
on the bulkhead until an officer
heard me and let me out" said
SWAIN He was lucky at Fedala,
despite his injury, because three
ammunition ships were torped-
oed around him and he escaped.
SALERNO WORST
OF all his landings, he thinks
Salerno was the worst. 1t was
there that the Germans first
made major use of radio con-
trolled bombs and they were out
to get the Ancon, a command
headquarters vessel which Bill
came aboard in June, 1943.
That Salerno was a baptism
of fire-if you want to put it
that way" Bill said. They
bombed all about us several
times a day. 1t was a funny
feeling to be in that chill box
with nothing but several tons
of spuds and cabbages. But we
had to keep the food moving out.
That bombing didn't bother any
body's appetite"
1t is about 36 degrees in the
Chill box" four degrees
above freezing. Bill Is one OF
the few men on ship who can
work in and out Of the box all
day long and he never catches
cold.

AIIereit Children
Need Physicians Care
BY GEORGE MCCOY
Cady-McCoy Pharmacy

Children are never irritable,
nervous, irresponsible or in
attentive without cause. The
trouble may rest in an undis-
closed allergy which a doctor
can detect and remedy.
A sensitivity to dust, pollen,
hair, feathers or to certain
foods is far more common
than is generally understood.
Unless such a condition is
remedied during early years.
a child may carry over into
adulthood traits of character
and of habitual i'll health
which will prove lifelong
handicap.
Consult physician at any
sign of nervousness, feeble
ness, or of slow growth In
your child.

ENROUTE HOME
Right now Bill Is happy as
the sunrise because his Uncle
Whiskers just decided he'd done
enough for-the Navy and started
him back home toward Pine
hurst in the great state of Georg-

Bill has been In Navy since
July Of 1912. He was flight in
strument inspector at Wright
Field before that.
The biggest blow in Bills life
came in 1899 when his father,
mother and two sisters were
killed in an auto accident in
Vienna, Ga. That and other
troubles made him glad to find
Navy berth during the war,
but now he Is happy he's return
ing to civilian life and while Bill
hasn't done much gun shoulder
ing he's seen more action then
several million American SOL
diers.
He saw the start of the
war In North Africa and he was
in at the finish in Japan.
Bills five amphibious landings
were made at Fedala In French
Morocco, Scogeletti In Sicily,
Salerno In italy, Normandy,
Okinawa and Tokyo Bay.
WOUNDED IN AFRICA
AT Fedala I got the purple
heart after was hit by shell
fragments" said Bill. At that
time he was working in "the

ship.

had a real scare when he became

Business representatives receive a little note from the State De- partment with their passports, warning them about life in France. Most of them find the warning all too well borne out, according to William Wallace Irwin, chamber of commerce general secretary.
 "They can't find a place to live, they have a hard time getting a ration card so they can eat, and then they have harder time find ing anything good to eat," Irwin said of the dozens of business men who have brought their big and little woes to him since liberation. They can't make travel reserva- tiors and when they do the sched- ules are not kept. The dogged, sturdy ones hold out. The impa- tient, hungry ones go home
 All business men coming here are asked to check in with com mercial attaches at the Embassy. Most of them do, grinning with triumph at having managed" place to eat and sleep, or storming with illustration, according to the attaches.
 sometimes they rejoice that so-and-sos cousin gave them hall room" one weary attache said. Sometimes they just say smugly that they have managed. Most of them have plenty of money and that helps anyone manage. But the going is rough for all of them"
 The Chamber of Commerce asked the Embassy to petition the French for one hotel where American bus inessmen could be billeted and mes sed. No definite decision has been reached on this. Meantime the French are demanding return of hotels already used exclusively by Americans.
 Irwin and attaches agreed that nobody knows exactly how many men have tried to reopen postwar businesses here. The Chamber of Commerce is circulating a question naire to get more detailed informa- tion.
 From personal interviews, at- CdCIleS SdlU IIley ledII4cu SOulc uACI have returned to find stocks stolen. while others have had the good luck to find everything almost as they left it in 1940. One bookseller reported 80 per cent of his stock footed .by the Germans. Many banks are dispensing service at a loss just to keep their names before the public.
 Attaches pointed out that among major difficulties is the fact that there is no free trade between France and the United States, the French government doing all the purchasing of imports. Irwin pointed out the French need lot of things America could sell, but thought it unlikely trade would be brisk for some time to come.

ROAD D|SCOURACES
 SURF BATHING
By vERDON R. DASTE Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

New Orleans, July 30 - (UP) - If folks here will just postpone their plans for grandiose vacations at the seashore a little while longer, they may have surf-bathing just 20 min utes' travel time from the Crescent City.
 Down below the bayou country of extreme southeast Louisiana, where the land gradually tapers of into the Gulf of Mexico, there is the fabled spot known as Grand Isle.
 Only relatively few persons ven- ture from here to the island because highway travel is over possibly the bumpiest road in the whole state. The road snakes its shell-backed way through swamp-iands and fish, ing villages on a foundation of logs. Each log forms natural, road-wide bump.
 Grand Isle and other islands in its immediate area provide vacation CTS here with virtually the only surf bathing to be found on the average motorists gasoline rations.
 It has now been disclosed that the Nays Catalina PBYs, is con- verted after the war, would fly 25 passengers from the Crescent City to Grand Isle in less than 20 minutes.
 Airline distance is 50 miles, as compared to 100 by highway over rutty and dangerous roads.
 Grande Isle is the central body of an island chain extending along the lower Louisiana coast for 50 miles. The others are Timbalier, Grand Terre, Bastian and Shell islands. All are narrow in shape, thus every home is almost certain to be located on the windswept beach.
 Freezes Blow
 Brisk breezes are almost con- stant. Swimming is excellent. Be- cause of their present inaccessibl- ity, the islands afford vacation pleasure to very few. However, their permanent populations live on them the year around. The abundance of wildlife and fish provides professional fishermen and trappers and their families com- fortable living. Natives of the is- lands also serve as guides for hunt ing and fishing parties, and take in city tourists as paying guests.
 If after peace returns the big flying boats can be used for pleas ure travel. New Orleanians will find the pleasure of the seashore at their doorstep.

No Proof Hitler
 Deod-Gorbutov

Berlin, July 30-(UP)-Col. Gen Alexander V. Gorbatov said today there still is no definite proof that Adolf Hitler is dead, and an in- vestigation is continuing to deter mine whether he still is alive.
 Gorbatov is the Russian repre- sentative on the interallied com- mand of Berlin, also called the kommandantur.
 We do not exclude the possibili- ty that Hitler is still alive and in hiding" Gorbatov said at a press conference.
 Gorbatov said two types of rumors were circulating in Berlin. One was that Hitler is dead. This. he said, was designed to halt further efforts to locate him. The other is that Hitler is alive. This. he said, Is de- signed to inspire hope among the Nazis.
 0orbatov said there was some un- derground activity in Berlin but that 1t was very deep underground and shows little on the surface, " after spending Q 3o-day furlough here.
