The bill is practically the same
as the one approved some months

here. but it's audible.

II will remember how easy it was
to get in and how tough it was
to get out.) ...
In some closed areas, rows of
thirsty barracks are boarded
up. Remember that one about,
If 1t moves, salute it; if it doesn't

Emergency built, cantonment-

the inevitable chow line queues

These are, some of the reasons
why war isn't visible here. But
You can see it in the eyes of
Sergt. 1/c Boris Spiroff. The war
put the finger on Sergt. Spiroff
Saturday. The system that picks
a mans number for foreign serv-
ice on quota allocated to vari-
Gus units here did it to him.
A combat infantryman, he par
achuted into Yugoslavia for the
OSS during the last war long
before American soldiers were
around for company.
He has 81 months of overseas
duty-and a wife he married six
months ago.
I'D rather face a firing squad
than tell her." he. said.
But I think they ought to be
stopped in Korea before it gets
any further. If they want me, I'm
going. The only thing hate about
it is being married at a time like
this"

be attributed to the Korean situa-

learning how to be better officers.
How, when and at what to fire

Units of the Organized Reserved
Corps are on the post going
through their annual two weeks
training.
AS for the abandoned barracks,
it is a fairly simple process to put
them into action. They are in
good condition except for the
paint, and readying them is mere
ly a matter of ripping off the
boards, taking down the "off lin
its" signs, cleaning them UP and
moving in.

Two Youths Accused
OF Stealing Boys Watch

Two teen-aged boys were
charged with robbery and taker
to the Receiving Home early today
after a Mississippi Boy Scout was
robbed of his wrist watch.
Police said that Dewey Lane, Is
of Hattiesburg, Miss, and two
other Scouts returning from the
jamboree at Valley Forge had
checked their bags at Union Sta
ton and were walking near Peace
Monument.
They were approached by four
boys, one of whom grabbed the
Lane youth and took his watch,
according to the report. Dewey's
protests attracted the attention of
Corpl. Robert w. Smith of the
18th precinct, who was passing in
an automobile.
With the aid of Capitol po-
liceman he captured two of the
four boys. 16 and II years of age.
