The Story Of the 442nd

a liaison officer between the 442nd
and the 36th division.
However, he is not perfectly at
ease. He suddenly realizes the pride
and respect he had come to feel
for the fighting men of the 442nd.
When sergeant of the 36th ridi-
cules the 442nd, Grayson protests,
removes his lieutenant's bars and
knocks out the belittler.
Then comes the SCATTERING news.
The S6th, outmanned, is hemme1
in and being slowly cut in pieces.
Only artillery, the 442nd artillery,
can save them. Shortage of ammu-
milton, lack of tanks-or roads for
tanks to roll on-and mine fields
all work to the advantage of the
enemy, firmly entrenched in the
surrounding hills.
The 442nd fix bayonctS. Go
For BrOke!" fills the air, as they
charge relentlessly up the mist
swept heights.
The story of the 442nd ends
months later

cheering crowds. Newsreel cameras

bat team-what's left OF them

any other single regiment at the
front.
Reports that unit of Americans

WOMAN K SHOT DURING QUARREL
 WITH COMPANION

Julia Milton is in the Govern ment hospital with a bullet wound in her abdomen said to be inflicted by her from a revolver following an alleged altercation with a compan- ion, John Dieker, about o'clock Sunday afternoon ip one of the Martin cabins located on the hill side between lower Franklin street and Gastineau avenue.
 Her condition early this afternoon was reported to be satisfactory al- though it is too early to determine whether she is entirely out of dan ger, according to the physician i'll charge. The wound is high in the abdomen. Authorities said the shot was fired from a long barrel Smith & Wesson .22 calibre revolver on a 33 frame. There were powder burns and blood on the slip she was wearing over a pair of shorts, sald to be her only articles of apparel when officials arrived at the scene
 Dr. John Clements and Dr. w. P. Blanton were both called to the cabin where the shooting occurred. The city police were summoned to the scene and took the woman to the Government hospital where she was admitted at o'clock.
 Both Bieker and the Milton wo- man told officials that in the course of quarrel between them she had threatened to shoot him and that he had handed her a loaded revolver and told her to "go ahead" The Milton woman, they both said, then turned the revolver on herself and fired the bullet into her own body.
 Another man, Lawrence Frank. who was in the cabin said that at the time the shot was fired he was in another room preparing a meal and had not witnessed the shooting.
 No arrest have been made but of ficials said the occurrance is still under investigation.
