 For just under two hours, then. our CT Special, crowded with fight ing men eager to get "processed, '" paid, and started home to their families, idled out in the Indiana fields while seven scheduled flyers roared past without so much as a toot of apology or of pity. We climbed aboard. Every man knew now that it would be Friday before he could start home from Camp Grant.
 Officers and men alike realized that there are not enough Pullman beds to go around, and they had lost out in the draw. They realized that there are more old coaches than new; that help is scarce and dirt accumulates fast. They under stood that when a troop train starts with cars destined for six different camps, some delays are inevitable in breaking down the train at junction points.

BUSY OFFICER FINDS WAYS TO
 CUT CORNERS
BY ERNIE HOBERECHT

(OultGu TreSS war OOITcSpOuUchGj Aboard An Aircraft Carrier off Okinawa, (UP)-Lt. (jg) Ed Keblu- sek figured he spent too much time and energy just addressing letters to his wife-time he could spend writing another letter or working oil his correspondence course from the University of Washington, where be was a football hero. So he cut a stencil and mimeographed pile of plain envelopes with his wife's address and his return address on them.
 His wife lives at SO3 N. Penin- sula, Daytona Beach, Fla. Then he figured out that it was quicker to put stamps on the en- tire stack at one operations than it was to open a drawer and fish out stamps every day when it came time to write another letter. So he put stamps on all the envelopes. "I've got to think these things out" he said. T don't have any time to kill like lots of these guys aboard Ship"
 When It. Keblusek is not work ing at his job, he is deeply involved ir some project which he considers worthwhile. His job is Landing i Signal officer. He sends carrier pilots off the carrier runway and directs their landing maneuvers when they come back to the float ing airfield at the completion of their mission.
 When I'm not working. I've got to be getting in some licks some where" he said. T always can work on the political science course I'm taking from the Uni versity of Washington or I can be mailing out applications for a postwar job.
 "This job business has me wor- ried. I'd really prefer to have a po- sition, but I'd deliver ice to be able to be home with my wife and baby every night.
 "So long. see you later. Just got an idea where I might apply for a iob as football coach"

slithery shenanigans and that's why 1t ruled that there were nine pints of oysters in every Maryland gallon. The commissioner pointed out that this applied only to oysters: there are eight pints in a gallon of Maryland ice cream, house paint, and sweet pickles:
 Oyster WiIcat Strike
 The Maryland oyster shuckers said they'd be doggoned If they'd shuck nine pints Of oysters for 60 cents, when the Virginia oyster shuckers got the same money ct Chincoteague across the bay for shucking eight pints. The Mary. flanders talked about . strike.
 One dozen firms including the Choptank Oyster O., said they'd like to oblige, but whatever they did they'd be wrong. Some Of 'em tried to salve the Ahuckers by hAy- ing 'em shnck eight pints. The State of Maryland hauled 'efn to court end charged 'em with being criminals for breaking the nine-plnt law. These eases stliI are pending.

hazards of crossing the street under difficult traffic conditions and that it is the duty of the motorist to drive 50 that he will not hit you. Possibly you have that right and the operator should always have his car under perfect control. You know that there are motorists who are sometimes careless or inattentive, that many motor vehicles are in poor mechanical condition = bad brakes, tires and steering mecfan- ism - and that even the most care- ful motorist has difficulty in heavy traffic in properly seeing all of the traffic hazards. This is particularly true at night.
 Individual Responsibility
 What I am trying to impress upon you, says the commissioner, is that I cannot take you by the hand and guide you across the street, nor can the police in your home town. The responsibility for your safety rests with you. If you want to be injured and go to the hospital, one sure way unless you have lots of luck is to walk carelessly. Spend few minutes some day standing at the curb of busy intersection watch ing pedestrians take chances. You will then wonder, as do, why more pedestrians are not injured. If you want to follow their example there is nothing we can do to prevent you from so doing and eventually you will probably end up in our statistics as another injured pedestrian. Il you are convinced by what I have said and by what you see that you can probably keep out of the hospi- tai by careful walking. please act accordingly and pass on the idea to one or more of your friends.

movements.
 We cleared the wreck. The en- gineer opened his throttle. We be- gan to study time tables and run ming times. It was 120 miles to Chi cago and another 85 to Camp Grant. Even allowing for the yard-shift in Chicago, we still could reach Grant for lunch, and many of the fellows could go through the processing routine and sleep at home that night for the first time in years. A private who had been very silent pulled out snapshots of the 18- month-old son he never had seen, studied them while, and showed them to me.
 Then the train stopped again. We were on siding just west of Columbia City. Many of the boys got out and strolled the tracks. From eastward came a whistle - the boys scurried - and westbound passenger train flashed by us toward Chicago behind two roaring locomotives. The time table

the cars were not clean, and the windows were actually dirty. The toilets were uninviting, and one was so clogged that it could not be flushed, though more than 50 men had to use it for 30 hours.
 From the moment we eased on- to the main line of the Pennsylvan- ia near New Brunswick, until we hit siding near Fort Wayne, our troop special, so far as speed was con- cerned, might have been sched- uled civilian limited in good stand ing. To that siding we were only four hours behind the running time of the Pennsylvania's prize New York-to- Chicago Broadway Limited.
 It took almost three hours to get from the siding to Columbia City, 19 miles west of Fort wayne, but the CTS were reconciled when they saw the remains of freight wreck through which we inched our way. The accident was a day old, but cleaning up might well inter- fere with the most urgent train

Ship Named For Priest

South Portland, Me, July B. (UP)-The SS. Lorenzo c. Me- Carthy, an airplane cargo carrier named for a former president of Providence college, was christened at the New England Shipbuilding Corp. yard today.
 The 10,500 ton vessel was spon- sored by his sister, Miss Genevieve c. Mccarthy of Providence, R. I. The ceremonies were witnessed by a delegation from Providence col- lege and by U. s. Rep. John E.. Fogarty, D., R. I.
 A native of Providence, Father Mccarthy became president of the college in 1927 at the age of 39 and was believed to be the young est college president in the United States at the time. He served for

nine years and in 1882 was mem- Der of the executive committee of the Rhode Island seminar on hu- man relations.
 Father Mccarthy studied at Holy Gross college, Columbia university and Louvain university in France. He was ordained in 1916 by the late Cardinal Gibbons of Balti- more. He died in 1941.

Camp Grant, III, July 25--"Give me French box car. That's solid comfort compared to this"
 That in a nutshell sums up GI opinion of the old, hard, dirty, packed coaches in which 167 off cers and 625 enlisted men travelled from Camp Kilmer, outside New Brunswick, N. J., to Camp Grant, 85 miles beyond Chicago.
 An exasperating two hour wait on a siding in Indiana, while seven de luxe passenger trains were given the right of way to Chicago, added noth- ing to the pleasures of the trip. There were 18 carS-15 coaches and three baggage-kitchen cars as far as Pittsburgh. There 10 cars were detached to head toward St. Louis and our eight continued westward toward Chicago. On the average, there were 53 officers and men in each coach, from 10:30 We'd nesday morning until shortly after 5:30 Thursday evening.
 DIRT EVERYWHERE
 The cars literally were filthy. Notwithstanding occasional po- licing they were filtered with dis carded newspapers, cigaret and candy wrappings and miscellany. Over everything lay a coating of black dirt, so thick that when you washed your hands provided you could get a turn at the sim gle toilet-washroom in most cars your hands were blackened again just by opening the toilet door to come out.
 The aisles had been swept be- fore our contingent boarded the cars, and the paper and other trash had been scattered en route. That is just about inevitable on such a trip. Much grime had come through the windows, opened to get a breeze into cars that otherwise would have been unbear- able.
 Even when we first went aboard,

Nine Pints |Of f0ysters
 To A Gallon
BY FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN

United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, July 25.-(UP)-Now we've got the mysterious case of how many pints in a gallon of oysters.
 Eight?
 Don't go betting money on 1t. That's where the War Labor Board made its mistake. It ruled (and later rued the day) that an oyster shucker should get 60 cents for shucking a gallon of oysters.
 What's a gallon?" demanded the Seafood Workers Union, Local 453, affiliated with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Work men of North America.
 Eight pints." snapped the VILE.
 Land of Plenty
 Except in the free state of Mary land" replied the Amalgamated oyster shuckers, numbering 367. including 202 lady shuckers. "A gallon of oysters in Maryland has nine plnts and We want justice"
 So help us. the oyster shuckers had the law on their side. The problem of what to pay an oyster shucker for shucking q gallon ceased being open-and
