toward the peanut-eating Woodfin. YONKERS, N. Y. (CNS) — Michael Dildabanian became irked when the door of a trolley was slammed in his face as he was about to board the car. So he rammed his fist through the door, climbed aboard, and attempted to throttle the motorman. In court, he won a sympathetic pardon. Dear Safety Valve: You probably won’t print this, but I want to bitch about the American soldier. It’s a downright shame the way so many soldiers in Marseille act on the street—no wonder so many of the French have no respect for us. Maybe some of the wobbly, "zig-zag" soldiers think they’re smart when they go around insulting everybody in sight. Boys far from home have some excuse for a little excessive action—but that doesn’t mean they can go into bars and knock tables over for the fun of it—which is what I saw last night—or that they can proposition every girl that happens to come within range. It’s no wonder so many decent French girls won’t be seen on the streets with a GI. Here again, it’s a case of the many suffering from the fault of the few—but if we ever expect to be respected we must learn to act like intelligent people and control these hoodlums who insist on giving Americans a bad name in France.

DONT SAY 'THUMBS DOWN' TO A GI WITH HIS THUMB UP OF THE WEEK: LEGAL EAGLE Recent Trials: Brilliant CID investigations and JAG work resulted in bringing to justice an officer and several enlisted men. The offenders had been engaged in the lucrative business of changing American money for French francs. They all were sentenced to confinement and the officer was dismissed from the service. This GI got a break but didn't appreciate it. About two weeks ago he was tried by special court martial for taking a jeep without permission. He was sentenced to three months confinement but the confinement was suspended. Last week this same GI was picked up by MPs in an off-limits area. Instead of trying him for the new offense, they vacated the previous suspended sentence. Now he's serving out the three months. (What a price to pay, buddy). Here's a new twist to an old story. At Calas several days ago the CO of a separate company brought in charges of AWOL against one of his men. The JAG office referred the case for trial

The JAG office referred the case for trial to another staging unit having special court martial jurisdiction. In many instances cases are sent back because of a lack of the required number of officers, because the unit is departing, or for some other valid reason for not trying the case. This time the case was returned with the endorsement that the accused was not available. Investigation revealed that the GI had taken off again. They're still looking for him. This week the inquiring reporter asked, "Are you going to take advantage of the GI Bill of Rights?"

The library boasts 678 sixteen-millimeter films and 83 projectors suitable for small unit showings. This is an expansion of the film library services, according to commanding officer Lt James H. McAuley of Atlanta, Georgia, who pointed out that during the war “it was necessary for a unit desiring the use of Army motion picture equipment to have a training schedule, and then-only recognized training films could be used.” Cpl Albert G. Kaufman of Brooklyn has taught more than 500 men how to operate these projection machines during the past five months. In addition, the film library repairs an average of more than 100 machines monthly for Army and Navy units in the Marseille district. In charge of this work are Sgt John G.
