Miles Sees Foe From Observation Point at Front By FRANK MILES) (Iowa Daily Press War Correspondent) With the Fifth Army in German machine gunners and infantrymen were behind the next ridge, only 700 yards away, battalion commander of the 168th Infantry, told me when I joined him in the old stone house he was using for an observation post. American doughboys of his com- FRANK MILES mand were dug in on the side of the ridge we could see, easily visible with naked eye and clear as the headlines in this' newspaper through binoculars.

Two soldiers had been wounded in the house by shrapnel, which burst through the windows a few hours before. Jack Bell, one-armed correspondent for the Miami Daily Herald, Lt. Harrison Harding, of Des Moines, and led by another 168th battalion commander, reached the place from the rear after walking across a shell-pocked area, which resembled the bowl of a huge stadium. Seven, tank destroyers em- placed in it were firing constantly and being fire on intermittently. PFC.

Helmer Bruehahn, Monona, a jeep driver of the destroye outfit, and I shook hands at the post. We reached this hot sector in a jeep over a route through trees from a town, which was a mass of ruins. A company command post was there in a cellar lighted by candles. While I talked with some of the GI's, Jerry shells finished leveling one house and crunched in dirt nearby. En route from another 168th outpost we saw and smelled several dead German bodies.

At the post, which was an aid station for wounded men were: PFC. Howard Sloan, Monticello, who had fought through Africa and Italy, wore the bronze star and had been wounded at Anzio; Ralph Mead, Rhodes, who had had like service and was wounded at Cassino; and Harold Johnson, Coon Rapids. We went there from a sand bagged battery reconnaissance point just below the remains of an old castle atop a loftly mountain peak from which the country could be viewed for miles around. In charge was a second lieutenant whose commander was Capt. John Walter, of Ottumwa, who then was off duty with a fractured toe caused by a falling rock.

Bombers and lighters flew back and forth dropping explosive eggs amid nazi flak. Plumes of smoke from them and American projectiles in enemy territory made numerous and black blotches against the blue horizon. It was an interesting day.
