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.

Suggested Rules
For Civilians
By ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
Meeting and greeting returned
combat heroes beset by personal
difficulties or problems of ad
justment often present situations
which require tact, sympathy and
understanding.
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.
