A third world war is something few even wish to think about. But the second world war is still of tremendous public inter est. Politically, that war is still con tinuing, but its combat phase has been over for four years. And it is the period of actual fighting that people want to know more about. What was it really like? What really happened at places like Iwo Jlma, Salerno, Anzlo, Bastogne? Year by year, as the memoirs and the novels pile up, the real story of mankind's greatest test-at-arms is filtering through. For war Is a kind of huge jigsaw puz zle. You can't put it together and understand it all at once because the pieces come to you slowly. The general pattern of the war can best be found in the memoirs of people who usually write memoirs generals and states men. To get the real feel of bat tle and the hurts it gave, you have to turn to books written by the men who fought the war and best knew its boredom and dan ger the Junior officers and en listed men. , Two of the latest are "A Tent on Corsica," by Martin Quigley, an ex-sergeant In the 12th air force, and "Day Without End" by Van Van Praag, a former infan try platoon leader. New Phases Explored Both explore new territory. Van Praag tells a one-day tale of the life and death of a doughboy platoon in the heart-breaking hedgerows of Normandy. It ' is rough and bitter and true. Quig ley's book deals with the adven tures, sometimes hilarious, some times fatal, of a group of B-26 ' bomber gunners who knew they i had one chance in four of getting j home. It is the best story yet on ; the boys who rode the medium i bombers. I In the pictorial field, the most 1 ambitious presentation of the second world war is the series of 26 television films prepared by March of Time and based on Gen. Eisenhower's book, "Crusade in Europe." To compile the series, the editors had to scan 165,000,000 feet of official service films and newsrels some 31,060 miles. Terribly Factual This series, covering the Euro pean war from the rise of nazlsm to the signing of the German sur render in the schoolhouse at Rheims, shows the impact of war its brutality and devastation more graphically than any novel, merely because it is so terribly factual. I went to a preview of one of the films with two soldiers who had fought over the area shown the Hurtgen forest, which Eisenhower himself described as "one of the most bitterly con tested battles of the entire cam paign. "That's the way It was," said Corp. Seals W. Knight, 29. a bronze-star winner who was wounded in the forest. "I don't want anymore of things like that. It was rough there. "The public ought to know more about what war is like," said the other soldier, Corp. Oliver G. Snow, 42. "But you can't put It all In pictures. You can't put In the smell. "If you could do that, there wouldn't be any more wars." French Bathing Suits Horrible, Nudist Declares DENVER, Aug. 5.-UP) Wom en nudists consider bathing suits especially the French ones "the most sex-provocative things In existence." This comes from Mildred of Topeka. Kas., who Is attending the nudist conference near here. Mildred (they don't use last names), interviewed in her noth-lng-at-all, explained: 'They're simply horrible those French suits. And they're no good for swimming. You get out of the water and they're soaking wet. The water drips down your body. Ugh." Mildred said also that nudism was a handy thing around the house. "I get twice as much house- Ppcific Coast Peaches Going Into School Lunchts WASHINGTON, Aug. SUP) The Agriculture department has notified Rep. Holmes (RWashl it has authorized purchase of one million cw of canned peaches on the Pacific coast for use in the school lunch program. The action came after fruit growers of Washington appealed by telegram to members of con gress to get the department to do something about surplus pea ches, pears and prunes. They said that after a disas trous season with cherries and work done in the nude than when I'm wearing a house dress. No clothes to bind me. I feel free." Ed. from Texas, supported Mil dred's arguments. He strode up during the interview, dressed handsomely in sun visor and shoes and said: "Folks don't un derstand our attitude. But shucks, you'd think you were in the dressing room of any respectable club if it weren't for the mixed company. Now, wouldn't you. I ask you?" apricots, the growers face bank ruptcy without government aid. Senator Cain (R Wash I discuss ed the situation earlier in the day with secretary of agricul ture Brannan. Brannan told him, Cain said, the department is working out a program for handling the pear crop but could not do much about prunes. Brannan promised whatever aid the department can give, Cain said, but' added that al though he realized the situat ion in the Pacific Northwest there was not much his depart ment could do.
