phaSis on decentralization and busi-

Postmaster General Walker in his
flnal> annual report.
Representing nearly five years of
personal observation, Mr. Walkers
report, in effect, was rendered to
Robert E. Hannegan, the new Post
master General, as guide for his
administrative policies. Mr.. Hanne-
gan was not available for comment.
Mr.. Walker proposed:

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE-{R
1t. Frederick George Peckcao of
the Seventh Army and Buffalo, N.
Y, decided he would like to meet
his brother, Pfc. Edward Peacock
of the Ninth Army and Buffalo,
whom he had not seen in three
years.
He got two-day pass, borrow
ed a jeep and was about to set
off for the Ninth Army front
when
Cpl. Anthony A. Dagostiny, Chi
cago, said he also had brother,
Cpl. Peter Dagostiny, in the Ninth
Army whom he had not seen in
two and half years and asked
if he could go along. Peacock said
sure, provided he could get pass.
Dagostiny got the pass and the
two were about to leave for the
Ninth Army when
Sgt. w. F. Thomas, Nashville,
Tenn, announced he had broth
err, Cpl. T. J. Thomas, in the Ninth
Army whom he had not seen in
three years and would they please
wait until he could see if he could
get two days leave. Yes, they
said, provided he made it snappy.
He got his pass and all three were
in the jeep and just pulling out
when
Pfc. Harold L. Gorton, Ceres,
Calf, appeared.
II suppose you've got a brother
in the Ninth Army, too" the trio
challenged him.
mo, only half-brother, Master
Sgt. Tom Hurn, Jr., but haven't
seen him in three years and I'd
like to have a talk with him."
So they waited until Gorton got
his pass.
But the jeep was hardly big
enough for a long, cold trip and
it was obvious that if they had
to hunt all over the Ninth Army
area for four different brothers,
they had little chance OF being
back in 48 hours.

A Tale OfFour Brothers

So they obtained the use Of
weapons carrier, and an Ameri-
can Red Cross field director said
he would send word to the Red
Cross at Ninth Army headquarters
and see if all the brothers couldn't
be rounded up in one place.
The plan was successful and the
eight men met at Red cross
field club After long talks, the
four Seventh Army men returned
to their units just before their
leaves were up.
Parcels from home take so long
to arrive that strange things hap
pen to them. Petrified fudge and
fruitcake hard as a brick have
come out of some of the packages.
Sgt. Frank Triptree claims he got

been so delayed that the girls they
pictured had grey hair and the
men sported long boards.
