New Head of Military District
Recalls Service With Patton

Brig. Gen. Hobart r. Gay, the
new commander of the Military Dis
trict of Washington. some day may
add a series of untold chapters to
the history of World War II in Eu-
rope and perhaps its most contro-
versial fgure-Gen. George S. Pat
ton.
Gen. Gay arrived from Munich
last week to take over his new
post. He brought with him a diary
that covered activities he had seen
from the North African campaign
to the final occupation Of Germany:
Most of the time, he was chief of
staff to Gen. Patton. He was with
him during the automobile accident
that resulted in Patton's death.
Witnessed Slapping Incident.
Phe tall, soft-spoken officer said
he also was with him at the time
Gen. Patton slapped battle
shocked soldier In Sicily. Some
day I may tell my version of that
story, but the time isn't right yet"
he said.
Gen. Gay said he thought he
knew Gen. Patton more intimately
than any one in the Army. His
diary contained many references to
the Sd Army commander, but Gen.
Gay needed no reference in talking
about him.
Such controversies as the slapping
incident have created a picture of
"a hard-bitten, gun-toting, ruthless
man" that is entirely different from
the man Gen. George Patton really
was, Gen. Gay said. He drew
picture of a deeply religious, in
some ways naive, man, and added:
Loved Poetry and Bible.
"His two greatest loves were
poetry and the Bible. I can't re-
member a Sunday he didn't attend
religious services"
Gifts that poured overseas from
mothers and wives OF Sd Army men
to Gen. Patton attested to his popu-
larity with his men, Gen. Gay said.
He recalled that he had seen as
many as 100 fruit cakes and numer-
GUS boxes Of cigars and candy
delivered to the general from this
country. They were turned over to
servtcemen In hospitals.
Despite his reputation as the Sd
Army commander, Gen. Patton
always considered the 28-day inva-
sion Of Sicily the best planned and
Evening star., 1947-11-10

executed campaign Of his career
Gen. Gay said.
Shortly before his death, Gen
Gay said, Gen. Patton was seriously
considering retiring. HE had no
financial Worries" he said. "He had
given his Army pay to charity. He
wanted to settle down to spend his
days writing and sailing"
In Army Service IS Years.
Gen. Gay said his voluminous
diary was kept partly as record Of
activities, so that he could have
facts at his finger tips when they
were needed.
The new chief of the Military Dis
trict of Washington is 53 A native
Of Rock Port, ILL.,, he has been in
the Army for 80 years. He and Mrs,
Gay will make their home here at
Fort Myer.
At Munich, he commanded the I'd
Evening star., 1947-11-10

Constabulary Brigade, a military
organization set up along lines of
State police in this country to pro-
tect internal security in Germany.
Gen. Gay was at Fort Myer dur
ing 1899 and 1910 and again in
1912 during planning of the Afri-
can invasion. AS head of the mill
tary district here, he will command
Fort Myer, the Pentagon Building,
the Army Medical Center, Fort Bel
voir and the Army War College.
He expects to spend the next sev-
eral days, he commented, finding
my way in and out of the Pentagon."

Three Alaskans To Attend All Con- gress In Chicago

SEATTLE, (4D - Three Alaska high-school pupils, the Territory's delegation to the national All Club congress in Chicago next week, stopped off in Seattle looking very Alaskan in parkaS and mukluks- the first they ever had worn.
 Eldest of the three is Flo Alice Dinkel of Wasilla, IT years old. The far north attire she wore was her own, having been given to her by an Anchorage fur shop just be- fore she left for Outside"
 Flo Alice's boy companions, Lynn Sandvik of Palmer and Richard Dangler of Seward, each l6, wore borrowed parkas and mukluks, however.
 They wanted us to wear them," Richard explained, a trifle sheepishly.
 Its colder here today than it was when we left Alaska last night Flo Alice said.
 The cold-weather clothing prob ably was welcome, at that, as the visitors sat in the November chill at the University of Washington stadium for the University Wash lngton State college game.
 It was the first football game Flo Alice had seen. She has lived in Alaska since she was 6 years old. Richard used to see games be- fore his family moved to Seward four years ago, and Lynn has seen Army teams play in Alaska.
 Lynn won his Chicago trip as of garden club, and Richard belongs to poultry club

 w. Lewis and Pfc. Howard w.
 Jones. Sgt. Shelley last week was
 promoted to the grade of S/Sgt.
 Instead of the usual coffee in bed,
 it is rumored that this will be eggs and toast along with it. The squadron suffered a great deal this week, because Sgt. Dale E. Addison, the lucky boy, went back to the good old USA for rotation.
 Hq. Det. had some men in front of the promotion board on We'd nesday, and did they sweat that one out! But of course, AIS well that ends we'll" A third member has been added 10 the staff of WXLN. He is Pfc. Jack Stringer, who worked in the Service Club before. The station will be without the services of Sgt. Roger Mum for a week, who is in the hospital. He is being greatly missed, too, for the station is now on the air six teen hours a day.
 Last week trouble call came in to our Signal office that line was down out in the QM area and Cpl. Savignac was assigned to fix it. Everything went along okay and the line was fixed, and when Sa- Vlgnac started back to the base he backed just little too far and a snow drift gave way and the back end of the truck was hanging over a ledge about 20 feet high. If Cpl. Savignac had not been on his toes he would have fallen some twenty feet to the bottom.
 The 64th Fighter Squadron, a fairly recent addition to the base. is now a part of the post basket ball league. Or should we say, three parts of the league? With so many men wanting to play basket ball, we have split up into three teams. On Monday the "Prospec- tors" were beaten by the Hq.

 permitted to catch halibut in closed
 areas and that the ratio is one
 pound of halibut to ' pounds of sable fish or pink snappers. This

 fishing and excludes trollers from its benefits. The reminder was is- sued by Clay Scudder, Acting Fish cries Management Supervisor of the U. S. Fish and Wiidlife Ser vice, who said that erroneous re-
 ports have heen circulating that
 any fisherman may bring in hali- but.
 Scudder said that the report is untrue and that violators will be dealt with severely. He said that there have been no changes III this regulation which has been on
 the books for several years. Scud- der explained that only last year an appeal was made to the Inter
 national Fisheries Commission for such change but that it was re-
 jected.
