New Gl Show
Proves Hit
BY Pvt. A. Randall

A laughing soldier is happy
soldier, and it is the job of
Special Service musicians and
entertainers to keep Fort Hua-
chuca GIs laughing.
One way they have of doing
that in this Post SO miles from
nowhere is to stage frequent enter
tainments for the men.
The latest entertainment thrown
together" by T/5 Maceo Anderson,
is called Gold Brickers of 1945,' -
and any reflection upon the habits
and idiosyncracise of any soldier on
this Post is purely intentional.
Cpl. Anderson wants it clearly
understood that Gold Brickers of
1945" is as unpublished as tank and
is as rough as an infantryman's
manners. It's soldier show and
people who are looking for ballet
might as well keep off the field
where it is playing.
Pfc. Emmett Babe" Wallace is
interlocutor for the acts and the
Swing Band of the Post furnishes
the musical background for the
gyrations of SOU comic-men: Pfc.
Eugene Jackson, Pvt. Freddie Baker,
Pvt. George ''SWanee" Givens and
Cpl. Maceo Anderson, himself.
Sgt, Vivian Bond, CPL Clellie
Pecot, Pfc. Lois Turner, and T/5
Ann Jones provide the feminine
touch, and each of them is good in
her specially.
Most of the members in the cast
have been professional entertainers
before they were inducted in the
Army, coming from stage, screen
and radio activities.

made by Pfc. Chester Butch"

MANILA, June 2.-Yanks of the

sition yesterday while attacking

Enemy resistance also stiffened

Americans pushed into the head of

Despite the beating administered
to the Shimbu line by the Ameri-

into that sector from Manila In
February, the enemy managed to
conserve important forces there.
$50 Japs Killed.
In yesterdays attack $50 or more
japanese were killed at river bend
position, but when the Yanks
stabbed into hill positions nearby a
new enemy line put up fierce re-
sistance.
On Mindanao, in the Southern
Philippines, the 3lst Division drove
the enemy back half a mile east of
Maybalay, but reported heavy oppo-
sition Wednesday from Japanese

The 32d Division blasted the last

The 32d joined the 25th Division
north of the trail recently but had
to backtrack and clear several road
blocks and hill positions to make
the road safe for traffic. The trail

with armored bulldozers and, in the

Captured in Pacific
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Civilian food experts soon may be
moving in the wake of battle in the
Pacific to speed the return to crop
production, particularly world-scarce
sugar.
Representative Anderson, Demo
crat, of New Mexico, confirmed yes.
terday as Secretary of Agriculture
recommended to President Truman
during White House conference
that food men be sent into Pacific
invasions with the Army to hasten
soil rehabilitation when the Shoot
ing stops.
"All the Pacific islands, clear to the
China coast, are potential sugar pro-
ducers, and we're not getting it," Mr.
Anderson told a reporter after the
conference.
Il recommended that some ma
chinery be set up so that we car
realize the full possibilities of any
area liberated"
The revived production In tht
islands could go to the Army ane
Navy there, tightening the drain OF
civilian sugar supplies in this coun
try.
The situation is tough and we'r,
going to have to get tough to NEE
it," Mr.. Anderson said. Its goin,
to be hard to convince the American
public how desperately short SUI
gar is"
Mr.. Anderson told the Presiden
either the Army or some civilian
agency could be placed in charge O
rehabilitating Pacific sugar produc
ton, but added: personally I'd pre-
fer that it be done by civilian fooe
experts from the War Food Admin
istration."
When he takes over as Secretar,
of Agriculture Mr.. Anderson will
head VIA.
In addition to Pacific sugar, hi
suggested that the same plan bt
used to rehabilitate liberated Eu'
rope to ease the drain on world food
supplies for that continent. A sim.
liar suggestion was made in the frs
report of the House Food COMMITTEES
which he heads.
