FormerGIs Salute 4.F At Bonqu
 New Jersey Boys
 Honor Cripple.
 FiFst-CIoss Guy
By ROBERT RICHARDS United Press Stan COFPesuOndNnI


 Englewood, N., J., March 9--(UP) Perhaps for the first time in his- tory, 28 ex-flghting men stood up around Q table last night and salu- ted Q physically disabled civilian a 4-F.
 When they were drafted, when they went away to war, he was left behind. When their lives were changed, almost without warning, his remained the same.
 But these 28 ex- G,ISs of Engle- woods Lapland Athletic Club paid homage to crippled 2o-year- -old Victor Tarditi with Q chicken din- ner, It was the kind of dinner they had dreamed about every night while they were away from home.
 why're we doing it9" asked Charles Phillips, former Private First Glass with the Fifth and Seventh Armies. 'T'll tell you why. We're doing 1t because Vic 1t q first-class guy, and because he never forgot us-no matter where we were-those letters always came."
 There were eS members of the Lapland Club when war was de- clared, and 62 went into uniform only dark haired Tarditi, an in- fantile paralysis victim at IS, was left behind.
 Earnest Writer
 "He could have pounded his ear in @ soft bed every night, like a sensible guy" Phillips said. "He could have ducked his head into Q pillow and forgotten all about us, but he didn't. He kept right on writing. And, even when things got pretty bad, we always knew that his letter would come"
 There were no long speeches al the dinner, and no tears were shed Many of the Lapland boys are still in the service. The % men were home alive, and they were glad that this was so-but because they were also glad to take time out to think of their friend Tarditi.
 At one side of the room was an empty table, with three empty chairs. That's for the three whC didn't come back" Ozzie Pisarr said. Don't ask me for their names it would just make their folk feel bad. You can say one died 1T Normandy, one at Two Jima, anC the third on Okinawa."
 Victor Tarditi said, T did my bes to make things easier for them. wrote to them all"
 But you must not think tha this, was a sad party, even with th' empty chairs.
 Club president Van Pisarri, Oz' zie's brother, saw that everyonI had enough to drink. He said, "tha Tarditi, crippled or not, is the bes of us all. He's too proud to us' crutches, and sometimes he falls But we never try to pick him up We always look the other way.
 'TIe climbs up himself, and thu next time he stays up. That's th' kind of guy he is."
 No, there was no weeping for tn, dead at the Lapiand Athletic Clul last night. Tears come hard, ans tears burn deep, but they won reach to Normandy, to Two. t Olzinawa.
 we've got better ideas than cry ing" Van Pisarri said. They're raising a fund for Pfs Martin Wing, who lost his righ arm and leg in the war.
 He wasn't a Lapland boy. but h was a soldier.
 And we love them all lik htothers," Vic Tarditi said.
