Miller Philippine Trek Is Exhausting, Mail Exhilarating By LEE G. MILLER MANILA (By Wireless) I had returned to Manila .about noon after two weeks at sea, ready for a little rest. Uh huh. By night fall I was jeeping through rain to the 43rd division which was fighting Japs only an hour's ride from Manila. Lieut. Bill Robin son talked mi into it aguinst my better judgment. Some miles from our destina tion we had to switch off the jeep's lights and drive blind, le3t Jap artillery observers on high ground get curious. From time to time we would use a dim flash light to feel for the roadside. Whan we reached camp it was so dark the driver could barely find our lent by follow ing whits lines stretched out along ,the ground. Some 155 mm. gum were blasting away nearby, and continued i-itotr-miltenil all night. In the morning it developed there wouldn't be a whole lot to see after all this day. But Maj. Gen. Leonard F. Wing of Ruth land, Vt., briefed us on his maps, there under the coffee and mango trees, and we decided the bet bet was to look in on his 103rd regiment. The regimental '.'.commanding officer .turned out to' be Col. Jo seph P. Cleland of Omaha, who looks like n West Pointer and is one class of '25. Colonel Cle land hus white huir and mustache and I wjs surprised to learn he was only my age 43. "I'm an old-looking young man," he said. The colonel looks not unlike a younger Fritz Kreis ler. Well, he took me and Russ Brines in his jeep, and we drove along a newly made road as far as the road went. Then we walked. It was hot, and our path was just a trace flat tened in 10-fcot high "grass" by infantrymen who had moved up during the night to take another hill on the way to Ipo dam, which the Japs still held. .. Filipino laborers, hired to carry water cans forward; were squat ting by the dozens along the trail. The colonel would call out to them as we passed, "Let's get go ing with that jvaler. The men are thirsty up there." Some of the carriers got to their feet all right, but others just stared. Here and there we passed groups of soldiers resting brief ly, some of them intently read ing mail that had just been brought up. The colonel paus ed from li'.ne to time to ask a question or to issue an order. '..Finally we reached the brow of a hill from which he wanted to look at his forward positions on a ridge beyond, occupied dur ing the night with little resist ance. I sat down and panted. We retracted our steps through the toweling grass. The colonel stopped to talk business witn Capt. Don Lichteig of Wesley, la., executive officer of Clcland's second battalion, and according to the colonel a first-rate soldier. We got back to camp, and by now a bulldozer had extended uie ruaa u nine lurmer inruugn inc virgin grass, Dill we neaaeu back. "Get that road scraper up here," the colonel told a soldier. "Tell him one good pass at this road will save it if it rains again." We passed an MP, and the colonel told him to move on up to the en.i of the road and let the traffic move as far as it could go. He flagged a bulldozer and told the driver to doze a turnaround along the roadside to facilitate traffic. Artillery was moving up now. There wrre other hills to be tah- Weekly Casualty List Is Smaller WASHINGTON. Mav 24 (UP) Officially reported U. S. com bat casualties edged close to 1, 000000 todav with losses in ol! theaters totaling jyti,08!. The new total was 0,875 more than a week ago, the smallest seven-day increase in many months. The overall total included 886.- 525 anny and 109,504 navy, mar ine corps and coast guard casual tics. The army figure reflects actual fighting through the great er part uf April, before the Ger man surrender. en an nobody was sure where the Japs might make a stand. We stopped to look at a water plant being .installed beside a shallow stream. Water would be pumped from tho stream into a canvas tank and chlorinated. We passed a field kitchen. Soon men in the forward lines, now eating cold C rations, would get hot food again. Finally we got back to the regi mental command post and had lunch and the colonel told about stumbling onto a Jap tecently and killing him with a pistol. And presently we drove back to Manila. Well, it wasn't much of a war that day, but I find you don't have to be under fire to get wornout from noonday climbing in the Philippine sun. When we got home I found a double handful of mail though, and my fatigue vanished.

Anticipating the need, Dr. Carl R. Rogers, USO director of coun selling services, has written a pamphlet giving helpful advice. His pointers? (1) Don't give advice and don't talk too much. The important part of the art of helping is the practise of self restraint. (2) Try to understand the value of emotional release. (3) Try to comprehend that the behavior of each individual has its understandable causes. (4) Learn how to listen in an understanding fashion,, and re member that you understand with your neart as well as with your mind. They are rules which families and friends of veterans should follow as closely as do canteen workers.
