PERSHINC:
TAPS Sounds

Gen. John J. blackjack PERISH
ing, who led American troops to
victory in World War l., is dead at
the age of 81.
The aged former chief of staff
had been i'll since February, 1888,
when he was stricken at Tucson,
Ariz., by form of rheumatism
which affected his heart muscles.
He came close to dying at that
time, but rallied with display Of
fighting spirit which amazed his
physicians. Since then he had lived
at Walter Reed hospital in Wash
ington, D. C..
Death was caused by blood clot
which reached his lung. At PERISH
ing's bedside when death came
were his son, Warren; his sister,
Miss May Pershing, and his long
time physician, Maj. Gen. Shelley
Marietta.
Long the idol Of grateful nation,
Pershing held the rank of general
OF the armies, title conferred on
only four other American soldiers,
Washington, Grant, Sherman, and
Sheridan. He outranked such con-
temporary five-star generals as
George c. Marshall, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, and Douglas Mac
Arthur. Their title is general of
the army.
Pershing won his greatest fame
as commander-in-chief of the
American expeditionary force in
World War I. Appointed to that
post in 1917, he took personal
command of the American troops
sent to France. He almost imme-
diately became involved in a dis
pute with other Allied commanders

who wanted to break up the
American army and use it to rein
force the French and British
armies wherever necessary. PERISH
ing fatty refused to let his troops
lose their identity.
Born Sept. IS, 1860, in the from
tier town of Laclede, Mo-, Perish
ing was graduated from West Point
when he was rs. He became Sec
ond lieutenant in the sixth u. S.
cavalry and launched a career in
soldering to which he devoted
his entire life. He fought Indians
in the American west. Spaniards
in Cuba, Moro tribesmen in the
Philippines, Mexican bandits un-
der Pancho Villa on the u. S.
Mexican border and Germans In
France.
Throughout World War II, Perish
ing received a full report twice a
month from General Marshall, his
aide of 1917. Although old and
feeble, the general followed daily
developments closely from his hos
pital room, paying particular at
tention to ''ny boys" who included
Generals Marshall, Eisenhower,
and George S. Patton Jr.

Employment Gains

Continuing the postwar upward
trend in civilian employment, is
million more persons were en-
ployed in civilian occupations last
April than in April, 1947, it is re-
vealed in figures compiled by the
N tional Industrial Conference
board.
Accompanying this increased en-
ployment was decline Of more
than 200,0 900 in unemployment over
the years period. The ranks of un-
employed totaled 20 million in
April, 1913, compared to "a million
the previous year.
All of the increased employment
occurred in the non-agricultural
sector. With the exception of min
ing, employment in every other
industry was above the level of a
year ago as well as above the pre-
war figure. Farm employment re-
mains under its prewar level.
The report notes that reductions
in the armed forces from 1919 mil
lion in April. 1914, to liz million in
the same month Of 1913 we're abb
sorbed and unemployment rose
only about is million. The total
labor force declined 80 million
duE!ag this period.
