to some people to border on cocki-
ness.
He's seldom nse---outwardly, at
kasi--thesc days.
Particularly since his announce
nent that he won't seek re-elec-
ton, Mr.. Truman has given the
impression of being relaxed--even
serene--to q degree that not even
Franklin ID. Roosevelt could
achieve in his latter days in Of
flee.
Does this mean that he feels his
job is done--that he can afford to
drift through his last 10 months
in office?
Some people expect him to do
that. But the President seems to
have other ideas.
One Of his first acts after step.
ping out Of the field Of candidates
was to get rid OF his Attorney
General, J. Howard McGrath-s
step he had avoided taking before
and one he could have sidestepped
this time.
He followed through by ordering
government seizure Of the steel
industry to head off q strike--a
highly controversial action far re
raoYcd from any let's-let-thinge
drift policy.
The fact appears 20 be that 81.
Truman, whatever his opponent
may and do say 10 the contrar.
$ convinced he has done a GOO
lob as President and is determines
mat nothing must happen in Il J
final months Of his administration
! to spoil his record.
Mr.. Truman's early-to-bed rou
tire. his after.lunch maps, his
sometimes criticized Key West
Fla, vacations have eased the
tremendous strain Of office.

years. since June Of 1899, w. /.

ROUNDUP

WITH U. 5. THIRD DIVISION,
Korea u - Even in the Korean
mud, home Is what you make It.
And the q. S. Seventh Infantry
Regiment has come up with some
thing new in battleline housings
prefabricated bunker.
Bunkers are reinforced holes in
the ground which give the foot
soldier = maximum Of cover--in
other words Z roof over their
heads.
The Sevenfh's assembly line Is
just behind the front. Two pla-
toons cut the lumber to specifica-
tions set by the forward soldiers.
The bunker kits are delivered
complete. The assembly line even
sends along Z representative to
explain how it's put together.
All the infantrymen have to do
is have . proper size hole dug.
The frontIine soldiers usually cut
their own machine-gun slots to
fit their particular field Of fire.
Other openings are made before
han0.
Maj. Walter M. Turner, Sanford,
Fla, First Battalion commander,
thought Of the prefab bunkers. The
job was turned over to 1t. Henry
D. Hoyle, West Kingston, r. l.,
and Sgt. John NJ. Healy, West
Springfield, Mass.
The only problem facing the reg
imtnt now Is how it win salvage
the do luxe bunkers in the event
Of 4 move TO another sector.
At present the assembly line is
not worried about this. Every ef-
fort is being made to supply each
position with the finest in battle
front housing.

Police Seek Two
Honest Customers
Who Stole $,27l

MIAMI R - Police today were
looking for two ''honest'' customers
and the $z,271 they took from !
downtown drug store by a clever
ruse.
The men talked two Walgreen
store officials out Of position,
picked up the cash and quietly
walked out Of the place Thursday.
Detectives c. c. Papy and r. !.
Elder said this is how they did It:
One Of them hid in 4 phone
booth and placed call for Office
Manager william S. Reeder just
as the latter was putting the cash
in q canvas bage to take to the
bank.
Reeder went to answer the phone
and Gerald H. Mann, manager Of
the soda fountain, went over to
the prescription counter to watch
the money.
Reeder returned and said the
man on the phone claimed his wife
had received S. too much change
from the cashier and asked him
TO check to see If she had made
a mistake. He went to check.
While he was at the front Of the
store, q customer approached
Mann and said he had absent
mindedly walked ont earlier in the
day without paying an 18-cent soda
foundain bill. Would Mann give
him another check so he could
pay what he owedg
Mann obligingly stepped behind
the soda fountain to make out the
check. When he turned around the
customer and the money bag had
vanished.

not followed. the Korean War was

MAIDS NIGHT OUT
THE LION AND THE HORSE"
al the Strand Theatre
gY Dor

at the Strand Theatre
Babies and animals always steal
scenes in the movies when they
aren't meant to. due to the ma
turalnesS and nonchalance with
which they are caught by the lens.
Many actors refuse TO work in Sc
queneeS with such competition. In
this film, the star, a magnificent
ebony stallion, has TO compete with
lion and little girl for his share
of glory, which is considerable.
The main adult character is
Steve Cochran who looks steely-
eyed through the story and mana
geS to keep his head above the
waves OF galloping hooveS, lion
snarls and shots of herds of wild
horses. He's no slow-poke cow-poke.
The action concerns the life of
Black knight, the king Of the range
who trumpets defiance to other
stations, rules lesser Specimans of
horseflesh, and finally does battle
with an African lion which has
escaped from a show cage. The
fight reminds one of an old nursery
rhyme about the Lion and the Uni
corn which was one of the high
lights in Lewis CAROLS adven.
lures of Alice Through The Look
ing.GlaSs."
The scenery of the Western coun.
try is fascinating and beautiful.
It's must for the younger genera
ton and even adults viii find &C.
ton interest in the screened story.
