HAL BOYLE'S COLUMN Silver Foxhole for Servicemen Gayer Now During World War 2 By Hal Boyle PARIS. June 9.

Pares the "Silver Foxhole" In wartime 1 gayer than ever wide-opei your pocketbook. 11 Is odd to come back and se it as thronged with tourists as I used to be with soldiers. Your mem ory misses color of khaki And your mind goes back to thi war years when it was known Ihe perfect foxhole, it was the dream of every soldier to get here thousands rolled into town from he front lines in Germany, Bel glum and Holland. They were often unshaven and muddy and a lillle "punchy" from combat strain and the weary truck ride here. They had only a 12-hour brief reprive from danger.

They cleaned themselves up and made Ihe most of what time they had. They spent it in different ways. Many went excitement-fish- ng in Monlmartre. They spent their money, and when it was gone they went back face death with empty pockets. Variety of Knlertainmenl But there were many quiet boys larved for something nd peace.

Paris had that, too She harj something for every man In the world. So they drank in her antique beauty on sightseeing trips went to church, shopped for small Rifts of perfume and silk for the (oiks at home, These wartime (oiirisl.s from the front were a kind of living repoach to the natty troops who headquartered here In safety. The lamied and gawky combat men embarrassed them nu-rcly bv their reminder that all foxholes in the war weren't silver. Paris had a strange effect on many combat men. They wheeled i boisterous laughing a mtte hysterically 1 hey laughed because ihey thought that for 72 hours they could forget But many couldn't, it was In them to the bore by then.

In a ew a day and a tne newness wore off. The exhilaration died down, they were like a country cousin who goes to his Park Avenue relative's cocktail pnr- and finds after a round of cock tails that he is out of place. Having no one to talk to who 'ealty understood them, the combat men ganged up the Red Cross eave centers and talked to each lh The "Poke a language that could he shared only by mr-n who known hardship and seen nends Silver Tarnislies And as they talked Ihev began to about their buddies at Ihe ront. They missed the eossin of' the battle, line, the banter of their 1 own platoon males. And all at once the Silver foxhole tarnished They wanted lo be back with the men who knew (hem.

They were homesick to return lo the loneliness Ihey had left behind. So they climbed back Inlo their (rucks, some laughing and eager, some silent, some resentful at Paris and the life Ihey had glimpsed there. And Ihe trucks carried them back again to a comradeship that meant more than the risk of death comradeship of men in common dancer, welded together by love and fear and dependence upon each other. These combat pilgrims of wartime were the strangest tourists Paris ever knew. She didn't make them happy, as she has made so many, but it wasn't her fault.

There are different worlds In war Just as there are in peace. And the happiness of those men wasn't here be- their hearts weren't. If Paris did little for them, they did rquch for her. With their blood Ihey helped her remain la peac what she was in war-the Silve foxhole ol the western world. SOVIETS MAKE SEALSKIN SHOKS OT ni(! production stylish shoes" from skins 15 5tarted here.
