YORK POST STAFF

HIN GTON, Sept. 18
(ANP) Theodore r. Poston, vet
eran newspaper man, resigned his
post with the Office of War Infor-
nation in order to take a position
with the New York Post.
Poston has been chief of the Ne

years. His resignation returns him
to job he held before coming here
four years ago as a labor trouble
shooter for the old Office of Pro-
duction management. He aided in
the intergration of Negroes into
the nations defense program.
Considerable pressure is report
ed to have been exerted upon the
veteran newsman by administra-
ton officials to persuade him to re-
main in government service here.
He had established himself during
the last Roosevelt term as an un-
official policy adviser on matters
affecting Negroes.

5000 ETO GI'S MAKING
LONGEST TROOP
MOVEMENT IN HISTORY
By Sgt. George Woods Jr.

BIZ Sgt. George Woods Jr.
ABOARD A TROOPSHIP IN A
PHILIPPINE HARBOR, Sept. 19
(ANP)-"You men are among the
several thousand troops redeployed
from the staging area of Southern
France directly to the Pacific The
ater of Operations, which is the
longest troop movement ever re-
corded in history" declared the cap
tain of the ship to the 5000 troops
aboard as the vessel sailed into har
Dor to disembark the new PTO ar
rivals.
Officers and enlisted men of the
131Oth and the 1314th Engineer
General Service regiments formed
a large contingent of the troops,
who made the 37-day ''boat ride"
across two oceans covering a dis
tance of 1920 miles.
"Au Revoir France, Hello Tojo.
said T/Sgt. Amose Brown, Marshall
Tex, as the ship pulled into the
Panama canal, where troops were
given an overnight rest at mill
tary installation set up especially
for the entertainment of VITO GPs
bound for the Pacific.
In Panama, the tired, rest-broken
and seasick men were entertained
by civilians of Central America and
the Canal Zone.
Free sandwiches, cake and hot
coffee were served by American
Red Cross women, all white, who
put forth every effort to make the
visit enjoyable
The troopship was eight days out
of Panama when the japanese sur
rendered to the allied military
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-09-19


Instantly rumors swept over the
ship that the vessel would be re-
turned to the United States and ev-
cry man given a furlough. Later the
captain of the ship announced that
he had received no orders to return
to the states and that he would pro-
ceed to his destination according to
his original orders.
A special Victory-day dinner was
served to the troops on the Mid
Pacific ocean on Thursday, August
16, the date declared by the Presi-
dent to be officially recognized as
the date the japanese surrendered.
The dinner menu included stuffed
olives, mixed sweet pickles, turkey
consume, salted crackers, roast
young tom turkey, mashed potatoes,
sage dressing, cranberry sauce, but
ter, maple nut ice cream, assorted
nuts and coffee.
On the 37th day of the voyage,
high mountain tops reaching sew
eral hundred feet into the air above
the clouds along the Philippine coast
were seen by soldiers tired from the
water and homesick for sweet
hearts, wives and other loved ones
back home.
Shortly after pulling into the
harbor, news was received that
troopships two days out of Panama
were returned to the port of debark-
alton in New York City and the men
given furloughs. Conflicting news
reports were also received concern
ing the new point system. This in
stantly created a topic for discus
sion that caused all sorts of rumors
to spread throughout the ship.

Pacific Theater of Operations, Cpl.
