up our tents with the few luxuries that we
could borrow" from one Of the service
supply dumps.
Perhaps no men on the island became
more proficient in borrowing" things
than the six Marines who lived in my tent.
In few months we had acquired most of
the comforts of home, including wind
mill washing machine, bed lamps, a small
gas stove and a homemade still, which was
supervised by a tall, bald-headed man
from North Carolina named Red Snitzel
who had been making moonshine since he
was three years old.
The other members Of the tent were
Charlie Haddock, kleptOmaniac; Carl
Klaus. a telephone climber from Wis
consin. our strong man; Pete West from
Alabama, who had the only guitar in the
outfit, and Bill Brinkertop. a Missouri
carpenter.

Long before Eniwetok Atoll became a
happy atomic hunting ground, it was
inhabited by wild tribes of American sol
diers, sailors, Seabees and Marines. These
tribes wore hardly any clothes, ate moth
ing bu. SPAN, Vienna sauSages and canned
c rations, and kept from going crazy by
making shell necklaces and bracelets
which they sold on ships that occasionally
dropped anchor in the lagoon.
The men had been left there immedi-
ately after the islands were taken from the
japanese in February, 1874, and their mis-
sion was to defend the atoll in case the
japanese decided to come back.
Fortunately, the japanese never did
and, in six months, when the danger Of
attack had SubSided, the men became
more interested in their own physical
comforts than they were in the fighting
that was taking place several thousand
sea miles away.
Flow do know all this? Because
in 1874 happened to be Marine sitting
on Engebi. one of the islands in the atoll.
Eneebi was small triangle of coral, bor-
dered on one side by the sea, a second
side by the lagoon and third side by one
Of the most regular army colonies in the
Regular Army of the United States.
Every time read about new A-bomb
or H-bomb test with its binding FASH
and lawful roar" exploding untold num-
bers Of megatons over the atoll, ] remem-
Der our CO.. Colonel Gideon Z.
Onslaught.
He was an enormous man, who wore
his eagles as though they were about to
swoop down on the first unlucky soldier
he sighted. Among the men under his
command he came to be affectionately
known - for reasons which will be made
clear later - as Colonel Torpedo, and he
was believed to have an open mind about
everything but Reserves, enlisted men and
us. Marines. 1t was said that when he
ran out of powdered eggs he had Marines
for breakfast. But this was an exaggera-
ton. From the moment | learned how
much the colonel loved food, doubted
that the rumor was true.
If my memory is correct, there were
about 1000 displaced servicemen sitting
on this forlorn atolI, and we all suffered
from lack of women. beer and shady
trees.
And SO when the war passed US by, we
spent most of our days and nights hunt
ing for shells, shooting sharks and fixing

that Haddock couldn't borrow and
also to defend any of the men in case they
were called before the commanding Off
Ger for violating any of the articles of war.
Ii was perfect crew, and had we stuck
together we would have probably become
the greatest second-story gang in postwar
American history.
Late that November, word reached us
that Christmas was only few weeks off.
The spirit Of brotherly love and good will
toward men pervaded the camp. The
Armed Forces radio network started to
play Christmas carols, and packages of
crumpled cookies began to arrive from
home. But there was no joy in our tent
and as Haddock returned to the tent each
evening empty-handed, our spirits sank
lower and lower, until finally we made up
our minds that our first Christmas on
Engebi would be the saddeSt one of our
lives.
The only thing that gave us any hope
was our still, and we ordered Red to make
up batch of raiSin jack for the holidays.
Haddock. overjoyed to find employ
ment, came back in few hours with two
large cans of raisins and package of
yeast. West laid down his guitar long
enough TO borrow" some sugar from our
mess hall, and in few days the raisin jack
was rumbling as happily as first SER
geant's stomach.
Somehow, word got out about the
sugar; and one morning while we we're
playing poker, gunnery sergeant, whom
we called Hubba Hubba Fat with Blubba,
barged into the tent and beloved: "All
right, you politicians. I'm getting tired of
your nonsense. Get off your fat buttocks
and fall out in five minutes. You six are
going to unload that ammunition ship
out in the harbor. don't want any lip
out Of you or that moonshine still goes up
to the captain"
We looked at each other in dis
belief. Ammunition ship? A full days work
maybe two. 1t had never happened to
us before. But we couldn't afford to lose
the still, and we fen out as ordered.
A half-hour later we were standing
knee-deep in 5O-caIiber ammunition boxes
on a small landing boat tied up to the
ship, which, for safety's sake. was an
chored far out in the lagoon. The ships
giant crane lowered the boxes into the
boat. and we stacked them neatly into
piles.
When the boat was full, we made for

shore to unload the boxes on the beach.
1t was hard work, the sun grew hotter,
our muscles ached. our curses grew louder.
We cursed the Navy for sending the ship,
we cursed the munitions makers for max
ing such heavy boxes, we cursed Hubba
Hubba Fat with Blubba for being born.
Eniwetok was damned from there to
eternity.
Howard evening, as the last box of
ammunition was lowered into the boat,
we waved good-by to the crew. But just
before the little landing boat started for
shore, the ships captain yelled:
Hello down there, you have to come
back. I've got two Grated motorcycles
aboard for the commanding officer. And
hurry up; want to get out of here before
nightfall.
Throw EN- into the lagoon" yelled
Brinkertop. "We have to 60 TO chow"
The captain yelled: Don't give me any
back talk, and get back out here as fast as
you can or I'm going to signal the COM
manding officer on shore.
This threat had an instant effect. As
sergeant in charge of the detail, wanted
no part Of meeting with Colonel On
slaught i hastily ordered the coxswain
to turn the landing boat around, and in 30
minutes we were back at the ship.
The giant crane lifted large unwieldy
box with the word MOTORCYCLE stamped
on all sides and lowered it into the boat.
We moved it to one side. and the second
box was lifted out Of the ships hold. But
as the crane started lowering it. the cable
broke and the box crashed down into the
boat, breaking apart. We had all jumped
to safety and no one was hurt.
While we were recovering from the mar
row escape, we looked al the contents Of
the broken box.
Weexpected to see the mangled remains
Of a new motorcycle, but instead, much to
our amazement, we saw large packages Of
canned turkey, hams, cranberry sauce,
mushrooms. canned olives, fruit cakes,
sweet potatoes, candy and canned pump
kin pie. We quickly huddled over the box
so the captain. who was standing on the
ships bridge, couldn't see It.
He yelled down: Sorry about that. Is
the motorcycle badly damased?"
No, SIR yelled back, mot damaged
at ALL
''I'll make out report if you want me
to, he yelled back.

Bar Unit Calls Attacks

A District Bar Association

Because It Is q trial court. y

the vast quantity Of contempt

may come to their defense with
the same vigor that they repre-
sent their clients"
The report said that the court
was making progress in reducing
the time-lag before pre-trial, and
had adopted new rules that
should bring about relief from
"so-called" congestion of the
Ieivil Jury calendar. In addition,

several lightweight trains intro
duced earlier this spring by other
railroads.
The General Motors Corp
Aerotrain and its sister light
weights are low, light. plain and
inexpensive. The Sante Fe's new
cars are just the opposite
heavy, luxurious and costly.
They are designed for trans
continental travel while the
lightweights are intended to give
low initial cost and cheap oper-
alton without luxury service on
runs between cities no more than
200 to 300 miles apart.
The FL Captain cars are 1914
feet Might've feet higher than
conventional cars and nearly i've
feet higher than Aerotrain cars.
They weigh $4,000 pounds, COM
pared to 10000 for a conven-
tional coach and half that for
an Aerotrain car.
Santa Fe is buying 40 cars to

cope with her many children and
her lack Of money.
Karen loves her mother, and
somehow could never adjust to
the foster homes in which she
lived. Perhaps she felt disloyal
if she found herself becoming
ATTACHED to substitute parents.
One after another foster home
situation was failure, win Ka-
rem always the badly behaved
outsider in the home. The sha-
dow Of her own unhappy home,
and the ties that still bound her
to it, made foster home adjust
ment impossible.
Result Was Miraculous
Then Karen went to camp.
The result was miraculous.
Karen was everything at camp
she was not at home. All Of her
capabilities came out there, she
got along with her counselors
(who gave glowing reports Of
herb, she learned to swim. she
belonged.
Social service workers handl-
ling her case realized that Karen
lived more successfully in a
group than in a home. The old
shadow disappeared. and she was
able to accept and enjoy life with
youngsters her own age.
So arrangements were made
to send her to a boarding school
for children whose parents aren't
able to provide for them.
Camp Was Right Answer
The answer camp gave was
the right one. The school is
delighted with her record. She
wasn't doing good work in school
before, Now. she has q B average.
She has a new foster home, too,
where she spends vacations
successfully.
Karen hasn't forgotten how
wonderful camp can be. The
