PAGE SIX THF PIOUA DAILY CALL MONDAY, JUNE 18, 194 Service Parade PHONE 105 MAJOR WILBUR LENOX IN PHILIPPINES CLAIMS "JAPS FAR DIFFERENT ENEMY THAN THE NAZIS" "To me, there is very little comparison between the Japs and Germans except for the fact that both were and are our enemies" wrote Major Wilbur Lenox to members of the Kiwanis club. He continued, "For me, the comparison ends right there. A veteran from the European theater i find an all together different type of warfare out here which i probably seem at first, to be a big farce. I think I can assure them they will change their minds after meeting the Jap. He is a soldier that doesn't believe in surrender.

Reports to prove this are sent out every day, when we read for example, 1000 Japs killed, three prisoners taken. From the experience I've had, when a Jap is taken prisoner he is as scared as a I believe they have been told that the Americans are cruel and sure death will follow capture, generally through torture. "The Jap has very different tactics in fighting also. They are generally employed in smaller groups but they have an uncanny ability to place their troops in 215 1 Spring street, who flew from Greenville, S. C.

I'm blowing my own horn, but proud of it.

We fired a total of 1233 missions, 21,700 rounds of ammunition with the following results: 1--Our basic mission, close support of the doughboys; 2-- dead Japs; 3-- Six light machine guns and four heavies; 4-- One 47 millimeter field gun; 5-- Three heavy mortars and; 6-- Four ammunition dumps. "Before credit is given, however, the infantry has to take the ground and make an actual count, so as a result we believe the above figures are under what they should be. And besides, all of these missions, we had a total of 18 men decorated for gallantry in action yesterday. And they were the privates in the majority'of cases. So you see why I am blowing my horn "We really aren't leading a bad life, getting good eats, a movie every night at present and plenU of sleep but still, I know everyone of as sore wishes this mess would fold up so we can come home."

Staying at one of the biggest winter resorts in Europe, is Pfc. John Wall, who is stationed with the 3286th Quartermaster Service company, at Hausburg, Germany.

On May 15, he wrote to his father, Leslie Wall, 512 Cottage street, describing the place, "Our company is staying in this Hotel Hausburg. Really a fine place, modern rooms, soft beds, white sheets, showers, lounging room, in fact, everything to make a hotel complete. "This town is one of the biggest winter resorts in Europe, and is surrounded by the Bavarian Alps. Snow remains on the mountains the year around. The famous Olympics were held here.

I'm enclosing some pictures of the hotel and it's surroundings. "Well, the war over here is finished, two down and one to go, I expect a furlough home soon, I HOPE!" The pictures included scenes of the mountains surrounding the hotel as well as various views of the hotel itself. One folder showed the interior, and John had marked the bedroom where he and his buddy had slept in the twin beds. Quite a difference from fox holes. Three years next month John left for the Army, with two years of that time spent overseas.

He participated in three major invasions, North Africa, and on up through Sicily and Italy; Normandy, and on across France! and last, but far from least, Germany itself. He is with the Third Army. He also is playing again with the band, the men first forming it at Fort Dix, J. prior to embarking for overseas, and they managed to stay together all this time. Two other sons are in service.

Pvt. William in Germany, has been a member of the armed forces for over two years and is also in the Quartermaster Corps, while Pvt. Thomas, will be in service a year in July, and is company clerk at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. FAMILIAR APPEAL A week away from home and already Tom Mills is shouting to Piqua friends for mail.

Mabel C. Eirk of LEARNS ABOUT GAS A newsy letter from Vernon Post '45, son of Ajt. and Mrs. Vernon Post of 129 South Wayne street, gave first-rate information on what's to learn about gas in the Navy. Says Vernon, "This morning we formed into three columns and marched away from the barracks, much as usual; only this time we all had gas mask riding on our left hip.

"The scene of our "baptism" of gases was an open field about half a mile from any part of Great Lakes proper. First they formed clouds of certain types of gas and we walked through them. Although they were diluted in concentration, we found out what horrible effects they can have upon the body; especially phosgene. It chokes and burns your throat. One breath of it and it is identified.

"We were then made to pass through a heavy concentration of tear gas without masks to teach us not to become panicky. It's queer to see all those grown men with big unwanted tears flowing freely down their squinting faces." Vernon's address is Co. 720, U.S.N.T.C., Great Lakes, Illinois.

PLANE SIGNALS ROGER NOSE IS DOWN NOSE IS HIGH TOO SLOW WING HIGH HOOK NOT DOWN Success of task force operations against the Japs depends almost as much on the efficiency of the landing signal officer as on the flying ability of the combat pilots.

Here are the signals, relayed by semaphore signal for "Roger," he knows his plane is making the proper approach. The moment a plane gets out of position, a correcting signal is given. THE Since the Group already wears the badge as a unit of the 1st Air Division, which won a Distinguished Unit Citation last year, ofiicers and men will show the new award by an Oak Leaf Cluster.

The deeds for which the 356th Fighter Group was cited helped clear the ground for the great Allied airborne invasion of Holland last Septemmer. On the dates mentioned, "the 356th Fighter Group was assigned the task of neutralizing enemy gun positions in the Arnhem area of Holland in a military operation designed to land effectively a large force of airborne troops. The nature of this mission involved concentrated strafing and dive bombing and oppisition was anticipated to be severe in view of the vulnerability of aircraft attacking ground defenses." Despite losses, the Group sent its pilots back to attack again and a- garn With wing guns and bombs, in this three days' onslaught, the 356th Fighter Group destroyed 4 German pillboxes, 12 machine gun posts and 75 light and heavy antiaircraft batteries. Silencing all these gun positions insured safe landings in that area for thousands of our paratroopers and glider- borne troops. RETURNING VETERAN VETERANS SERVICE CENTER 228 W.

Greene St. Phone 518 PUT YOUR RECORDS IN ORDER Every member of tfoe Armed Forces has a serial, service or file number. It is most important that he keeps a record of it, and of other such records--for example, original or legal copies of necessary papers, in a safe place where they can always be found. The reason is simple. Claims and requests for benefits will usually require certain information, such as a man's Arrny or Marine Corps serial number, Navy file or service number, details of his discharge and, in some cases proof of the relationship of dependents.

The most important records are the following: Army or Marine Corps serial number; Navy service or file number, Coast Guard Service number, Discharge papers, Disability Claim number, insurance policies, Social Security card, birth certificates of self, wife, children and or dependent parents; marriage certificate, any divorce decrees, last will and testament and Selective Service registration card. "Get these records in order now, even though you may not need them immediately. Some day you may be saved great inconvenience and delay by having them all together where you can find them easily," officials of the Veterans Information Center said today. BUCK GRIDDERS TO START PRACTICE DRILLS TUESDAY By DOUGLAS LARSEN NBA Staff Correspondent Washington, June 18--Here are some general questions from veterans and relatives on their GI rights: Q. My son received an artificial leg more than a year ago.

He has learned to get around on it very well. But lately he has been having trouble with it and while it is being repaired he can't get around. Is there some way he can get a new one or a spare? A. Yes If the artificial limb he has now isn't working properly he can get a new one from Veterans Administration, and can get a spare in addition. Q.

I live in Maine and my son recently went into the service. He is 18 years old. I received a letter from him saying he is going to get a girl he met near his camp in North Carolina. Can he get without my permission? He can't in this state. A.

In North Carolina, both parties to a marriage contract need be only 18 years of to obtain license to marry without parents' consent. Q. I am a former Federal em- ploye discharged from the Army. To whom should I apply for re- employment? A. Go to the personnel office of the agency which you left to enter the army.

If that agency has been abolished, or for some reason you can't get reinstated, apply to the nearest office of the Civil Service Commission. Q. My wife and I are both veterans. We want to get a loan to buy two houses which are on the same lot. Can I get a loan to buy one and my wife a loan to buy the other? A According to the law in order to get a loan to buy a house the veteran must live in it.

If your wile can prove she is going to live in one and you in the other you can get the loans, otherwise not. Columbus, June 18, (U.R)--Summer football practice opened officially at Ohio State university today with equipment manager Al White receiving the most strenuous workout of any student reporting.

Gen. James L. Collins, commanding the Fifth Service Command, today will present a five-year-old boy with the Congressional Medal of Honor awarded posthumously to his soldier father. The youngster, Herbert H. Christian, will receive the award for his father, Pfc.

Herbert Christian who was killed in action in Italy last June, Atlanta, June 18, (UP)-Tony and Sue read their mail today. Sue is the Atlanta girl who kept writing her paratrooper husband a letter each day, although notified by the War Department that he was "missing in action." She wrote every day. She prayed every day. And she burned candles in the church often. She didn't mail the letters, she just stuck them away in a drawer.

Pvt. Tony Mrozinski went overseas 18 months ago. He was reported missing in action on Sept. 17, 1944. But Sue insisted that her Tony would return.

That's why she wrote the letters, hundreds of them. That's why she prayed. It was Jan. 11, 1945, that she heard from Tony--he was in a German prison camp. Tony arrived at Fort McPherson, last night, safe and well.

Today another candle burned, and Tony and Sue read their mail. 15 POLES ADMIT (Concluded from Page One) It said he admitted operating, during 1944, 25 secret radio stations in Poland and 10 in the Western Ukraine. Okulicki also was accused of espionage and sabotage. The trial hardly had begun when Okulicki rose and demanded that at least a dezen Polish officers be called as witnesses to actions of his army and relations between his army and the Red Army in Poland. He said the officers were among those on a list already in Soviet hands.

Okulicki succeeded Gen. Tadeusz (Bor) Komorowski, who went down to defeat in the ill-fated Polish uprising Warsaw last year, as commander of the Home Army. The Home Army was under the direct jurisdiction of the Polish Exile government in London. Several other members of the London government were among the 16 defendants on trial for diversiomst activity behind Red Army lines. The trial began promptly at 11 a.

m. in the marble-pillared ballroom of the trade union hall, where the great mass trials of Soviet traitors were held in 1936. The ballroom was crowded with Allied diplomats, newsmen and Soviet dignitaries. Great kleig lights illuminated the scene and motion picture cameras made a permanent record of the proceedings. Three charges each of them in itself a capital crime-- already have been revealed against the Poles.

They are sabotage, terrorism of the Red Army and the use of illegal radio transmitters after the Russian breakthrough from the Vistula to Eastern Germany last January. The trial was expected to become a sounding board for Soviet charges that the London Exile government was carrying on underground warfare against the Red Army and thus discredit the regime in the eyes of the United States and Britain, which still recognize it. There was speculation that some of the defendants may have turned state's evidence in an attempt to gain mercy. NOV. 16 OPENING DATE ON HUNTING INTHi Mfilfi OF SPORTS CARDS NEXT ON SCHEDULE FOR REDLEG SQUAD Cincinnati, June 18, (U.R)--The St.

Joins Cardinals move into Crosley Field tomorrow succeeding the shicago Cubs. But the Cincinnati Reds hoped the outcome would be different. Big Ed Heusser seemed headed for a shutout over the Cubs yesterday until the ninth inning when Chicago exploded in a three-run uprising to win the game 3 to 1. The victory marked the eighth time this season that the Cubs have defeated the Reds who have still their first victory to chalk up against the Chicago team. Al Libke's inexperience in left field paved the way for the Chicago rally when he failed to catch Bill Nicholson's sharp single over short.

Poor Fielding Phil Cavarretta followed with a high fly ball to left center but Libke was slow in moving back and it fell for a double, sending Nicholson to third. After Andy Pafko popped out, Lowry singled to left to score Nicholson and Cavarretta and then went to second on the throw home. Mickey Livingston scored Lowry with a single. Libke tried to redeem himself at the plate, however, getting two singles and a double in four attempts. The second half of yesterday's twin bill was rained out.

Press Staff Correspondent New York, June 18, (U.R) Two 'oungsters and two old men brought he ambitious Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers down to earth xdayand made it apparent that any deas of runaway pennant races are extremely premature. The Pirates and Tigers, after steady climbing, took over the lead in their respective races last week, but they looked like anything but pennant winners yesterday in dropping double headers. Two young Cardinal pitchers, Rookie Ken Burkhardt and sophomore Ted Wilks, humiliated the Bucs at Pittsburgh before 32,936 ans, the largest crowd of the season, to 0 and 6 to 2.

Burkhardt, pitching his first complete game, gave up ive hits. Only one Pirate got to bird, Johnny Barrett on a triple. The Cards made 15 hits off Truett Sewell and Xavier Rescigno. Wilks, tarting slowly, yielded two runs in Jie first, then was invincible. The Cards made 12 hits, taking the lead with three runs in the second.

It was a different story for the Tigers at Chicago as they were tamed by oldsters, Thornton Lee and Joe Haynes, 6 to 1 and 7 to 5. Lee, gaining his eighty victory, effective- scattered six hits. Haynes had given up only one hit and one run jefore lie had to retire in the second game with an ankle injury suffered in a slide to third base. Amazing Dodgers Lead The amazing Dodgers took over the lead undisputedly, benefiting by Pittsburgh's lapse and the Massachusetts curfew. Playing at Boston, they handed Morton Cooper his first defeat after six straight victories, 9 to 6, then were least the second game was suspended in the eighth with the Braves ahead, 4 to 1.

BY NELSON PROVES HE'S GOLF'S BEST BY RUSS GREEN United Press Staff Correspondent Philadelphia, June 18, (UP)-Byron Nelson, Toledo golfer, whose specialty is winning under pressure, made it plain today that no golfer in the world can top him when he has his heart set on a championship. That was the way it was yesterday when he began the final round of the 72-hole Philadelphia Inquirer golf tournament one stroke behind the pace setters, Harold (Jug) McSpaden and Johnny Bulla. Because Nelson's putting had been off-form, the experts said he never would close the gap.

When Nelson finished his final round, he had shattered the 10- year course record with a seven under par 63, and he was 11 under par for the 72 holes with a 269. To win, he had to beat his best friend and host for the tournament, McSpaden, who entertained Nelson at his home here, then had to take a trouncing from him on the links. Evidence of Nelson's brilliance was the fact that McSpaden couldn't beat him with three straight rounds of 66, which with his first day's card of 73 gave him a total of 271. His Greatest Round The par-shattering round over the" rolling Llanerch course brought Nelson first money of $2,500 worth of war bonds. It was by his own admission "the greatest round of golf I ever played." Although his putting was superb, what made the difference between a good and a great exhibition was his uncanny touch with the wedge shots.

McSpaden, whose rounds of 66 each equalled the course mark set 10 years ago by Clarence Smith of Bloomfield, N. might have had a chance except for his shaky stare. He had a chance to tie Nelson as late as the 16th hole when he was only two strokes behind. He pocketed second money of $1,600 worth of bonds, while Johnny Bulla of Atlanta, with a 276 total was third and received $1,200. Fourth money of $1,000 went to dark horse Bruce Coltart of Absecon, N.

whose 279 was three better than the 281 total of Ed Furgol, Detroit amateur. Jimmy Hines of Chicago, the early leader, and Ky Lafoon, also of Chicago, tied for sixth with 284 Sammy Byrd of Detroit, the defendant titlist was next with 286, while three players, Terl Johnson of Norristown, Herman Barren of White Plains, N. and Henry Picard of Harrisburg, each carded 287's. DERBY, PREAKNESS WINNERS OUT OF BELMONT FEATURE By OSCAU FRALEY United Press Staff Corresponden New York, June 18, (U.R)--A thre way split of the turf's coveted apparently was assured today as three-year-old headed toward Belmont with Prea ness victory Polynesian ineligii and Kentucky Derby winner Ho lame in his stall.
