Most of th-a boys are from around.
Fort Defiance and used to work
for the Indian bureau.
The Indian boys knew before
we got to Okinawa thai the in
vasion landing wasn't going to V
be very tough. They were the
only ones in the convoy who'
did k.iow it. For o-ie thing they
saw signs and for another they
used their own influence. -Before
the convoy left the fat
south tropical island where the
Navajos had been training since
the last campaign, the boys put
on a ceremonial dance. -
The Red Cross furnished some
colored cloth and paint to slain
their faces. They made up the
rest of their Indian costumes,
from chicken feathers, sea shells,
cocoanuts, empty ration cans and
rifle Cartridges.' ' '
Then they did their own native
ceremonial chants and dances odt
there under the tropical palm
trees with several thousand ma
rines as a grave audience.. .. .
In their chant they asked the
great gods ill the sky to sap the
Japancs-e of their strength fur
this blitz. They put the finger of
weakness on the Japs. . And then
they ended their ceremonial
chant by singing the marine
corps song in Navajo. .
I asked Joe Gatewood if they
really felt their dance had some
thing to do with the ease of our
landing end he said the boys diil
j believe so and were very serious

"I knew -nothing was going
to happen to us," joe said, "for
on the way up horo there was
a rainbow ovor iho convoy and
I knew then everything would
be all right." i
One day I was walking through
the edge of a rubbled Okinawa
village where marine telephone
linesmen were stringing wire to
tin- lops of the native telephone
pol.-s.
As I passed, one of the tw.
linesmen at the top called down
rather nervously saying he was
afraid the wobbly pule was goiivj
to break under their weight.
To which one of the men on
the ground, apparently their ser
geant, called back reassuringly:
"You've got nothing lo worry
about. That's imperial Japan
ese stuff. It can't break."
There are very few cattle on
Okinawa but there are lots of
goats and horses. The horses are
small like western ponies and
mostly bay or sorrel. Most of
tliem are skinny, but when you
see well-fed ones they are jpod
looking horses. They are all well
broken and tame.
The marines have acquired
them by the hundreds. Our com

FIRST DAY
Whcntlic San Francisco Conference ends, tli'c delegates
will have experienced their "lirst day of school" for the study
of the complex problems of world peace, and for the dcvelop
mcnt of a curriculum for a permanent school.
Everyone everywhere should clearly understand that this ;
Conference is the most important international meeting in
history. '
,Wc can be thankful that our nation is represented by wise
and experienced statesmen with a sincere desire for peace,
and we arc sure the other nations have the same type of rep-,
reservation.'
'Ihc Conference will furnish (he leadership and the plan,
but peace depends upon the peoples of the United Nations
upon their will to peace, upon their sacrifice for peace, upon
their works of peace.
The difficulties arc enormous, some of the problems can
not be solved immediately, and compromises will be made by
all nations in order to arrive at conclusions that will be fair
to all countries.
.The .Conference cannot create an enduring peace. But it
will lay the foundations for a plan for peace to be put into
effect as soon as possible, and which we and future genera
tions of the world must maintain.
Let us Ik sparing in our criticism and generous with" our
encouragement and constructive suggestions.
And atone all lt5t us pray thayhc thinking people of the
, world will tafec advantage of the op-)ortiinityafTordcd by the
"first day of school" and build coiOinuously toward an en-
aunng(jxaj:c.
