Freezing Marines Pray They Can Walk Out

night would bring, nobody could
foreJell.
Some Marines, stomping around
in the cold or being loaded on
planes for hospitals, were tired and
bitter men:
"Out of the valley again." said
one bearded sergeant, who had
grenade fragments in his back.
We'll there's one b who's
never coming out of here. That's
the b who threw this grenade.
Thank God I could still fire. I
killed him and I'd like TO stay here
and kill more Of EN-"
Most Only Silent and Numb.
Most others were only silent
and numb, not even able to show
the happiness some men feel when
they finally realize they're leaving
the misery of battleflelds behind.
One 19-year-old boy from Ala
bama. whose mortar outfit had
been virtually surrounded on one
hill for two days and who had
badly frostbitten feet, said: "We
did the best we could. We fired
every last round. was No. 2 man
and I still can't hear a thing in
this left ear"
Then he frightened bit as
he saw the plane. You know
something" he said, "this is my
first airplane ride"
Problem Of Manpower.
The problem of fighting the
bitter battles around here now
seems to have simmered down to
one of manpower rather than
equipment.
For most of the units suffering
heavily from frost bite and freez-
ing, equipment was there to pre-
vent it. But, because of the
overwhelming numbers of enemy
hordes. there was no time to
issue it.
Despite some gripes. most off,
GERS and men acknowledge that
the Quartermaster Corps has CIV
en- them as much as it could
without becoming burdensome
with the possible exception of
some as yet undersigned shoe to
replace the shoepac.
Feet Perspire, Then Frost.
Here is how it has worked out !:
Shoes-The shoepac with a rub
Der bottom designed to keep out
both dampness and cold, and to
be worn with heavy ski socks and
felt insoles, failed to prevent
hundreds of cases of frostbitten
feet. The men complain that
their feet perspire in the heavy
boots during warmer hours, then
frost as soon as the cold returns.
Experts say-change socks when
this happens. Combat troops,
fighting a continuous action, as in
the past few days, with not
enough men for relief. reply that
changing socks frequently enough
to prevent this is impossible.
Sleeping Bags - The quilted
mountain bag" with Upper Is well
liked by most units. 1t provides
sufficient warmth for most tenn
peratures here now. But, even
though it is light in weight. it is
bulky and the men can't carry 1t
into battle. With thin lines and
continuous fighting actions, keep
ing the bags up with line units is
not always easy. especially when
the units are cut off.
Stoves-Small metal tent stoves
and tents were provided to most
units on the basis of one per
platoon. When possible, troops in
the line were shifted frequently so
each man got certain periods of

burned.
Tents had been burned while
air-dropping planes were still
sending more down by parachute.
Some extra clothing and other
gear had also gone into bonfires
to prevent its falling into enemy
hands. But they come out with
most of their weapons.
Maj. Gen. Oliver P. Smith, Ma
rine division commander. sitting
in small hut only a stones
throw from mortar men firing
from last-ditch positions, said of
his regiments:
"I am proud of them. They
fought their way through 4,000-
foot mountain pass and they came
back as organized units. They
brought out much essential equip
ment and several hundred casual
ties.
Some Buried Along Route.
"They even brought back pris-
oners. Our engineer battalion,
which isn't supposed to have any
thing to do with building airstrips.
put together an airstrip here that
has probably saved 5000 lives"
Some Marines were buried along

There were no smiles here, only
numb looks of cold and fatigue.

most blackened by cold and ex-
posure. "but this cold is too much" +"
Not in the Book.
A lieutenant colonel on the di-
vision staff had another analysis:
II read lot of books on how to
diSengage and pull back" he said.
But I've never seen anything on
how to disengage on all sides and
pull back on road that's
blocked"
Back at the airstrip, Flying Box
cars, Clio planes, flew over the
area and unloaded more supplies
with f1utter of green, red and
yellow parachutes in the cold,
bright sky.
Sometimes Marine mortars and
artillery laid down a pattern of
fire on the ridges all around us.
Two CAT transport pilots, who
had stepped out of a plane to

A Marine at the airf1eld chuckled

We've all noticed as we walk or
drive along a busy road that the
nearer a speeding car is to US, the
faster it seems to move. AS 1t ap.
pears in the distance it does not
seem to be going nearly so fast as
when it passes us. Then as 1t goes
away it seems to move slower, even
though we know its speed Is actu.
ally the same.
The phenomenon offers photogra.
pliers two clues. The farther your
camera is from a moving object, the
slower the shutter speed required
to stop action without blur. And OBJ.
iects coming at or going away from
the camera can be stopped with a
slower shutter speed than when
they are crossing directly in front
of the camera.
Thus a baseball player running
for home plate might be photo.
graphed head.on as he leaves third
base with a shutter speed Of ITS
sec. When he is within twenty-five
feet of the camera It would take
1890 sec. to stop him. And If your
camera was set up midway between
third and home and twenty-five feet
from the base line, it would take an
exposure of almost $4,000 to make

There are charts available which

these still leave up to the photog.

how fast the subject IS moving.
With a little practice, you will find
you can estimate shutter speeds and

since often there isn't time to refer
to a chart when you are out shoot
