Y. P) Pvt. Joseph G. Simon, in a plaster cast from waist to neck and just off a trans-Atlantic army transport plane, sat tersely in his hospital bed Wednesday as a telephone operator put through a call to 1 Joliet, 111. He fumbled at the handset with a bandaged hand and listened.

Then he broke into a smile as, for the first time in two years, he heard the voice of a member of his family. Simon, wounded July 27 by a fragmentation bomb near St. Lo, thus inaugurated the overseas patients telephone service, set up under army auspices and paid for, by voluntary subscription, so that each soldier-patient might have a five minute phone conversation with his family. Civilians here discovered that no free telephone service was available to wounded servicemen, flown home from war theaters for treatment. Money immediately poured in and by last night the overseass patients telephone fund passed the $3,000 mark.

Simon chose to call his sister, Mrs. Madeline Cantwell, after it had been ascertained that there was no telephone at the farm, outride his native Wonewoc, where his wife, Belle, and his 18-month old son, Joe, were staying. The 23-year old soldier never has seen his son and last heard from his wife on June 10, but he swallowed his disappointment and happily talked to Mrs. Cantwell.

10 (Delayed) (P) Inching their bitter, bloody way along a narrow jungle avenue of retreat blocked by Japanese, an American battalion attempting to rejoin its regiment received a new spur to its courage when an Edg-erton man, Capt. George Hess, brought up reinforcements that helped the men slug it out until the Japs were rolled back into the jungle. Another Wisconsin man, TSgt. Carroll Booth, Stanley, led the sault spearhead of the wavering forward platoon, who took courage from their leader as he strode stubbornly forward through the jungle growth, killing Japanese with his tommygun. Capt.

Harry Lusk, Eau Claire, participated in the fierce fighting in which the Japanese used all their tricks. Describing the ban zai charges at the blast of bugle, Capt. Lusk said: They always massed behind a small front, a couple of hundred yards, and attacked in until every last one of them had been used. They dont care a damn about losses. "What makes it so tough, they usually kept coming until all forward outfits were out of ammunition.

The Yanks were cut off when a Japanese force trapped at Wewak attacked in such terrific strength that they smashed into the center of the Americans Driniumor river line, virtually isolating two Yank battalions. Fighting down the Anamo trail, the sole escape avenue, the Yanks finally escaped, led by Booth and his tommygun. With Capt. Booths reinforcements they waded straight into the Japs until tank destroyers, led to Japanese gun emplacements by scouts, shot them up. Then the Japanese broke, rolled back into the jungle, the assault company dashed into the breach and cleared the flanks and the escape road was open.
