Atl,000,000-Mark
WASHINGTON, May 31 (UP)
-U. S. combat casualties in this
war today were announced offi
cially as 1,002,887, an increase of
6,798 over a week ago.
!The total included 890,019 army
and 112,868 navy, marine corps,
and coast guard casualties.
The overall total, including
only those casualties which have
been tabulated and announced in
Washington is nearly four times
the world war I total' of 269,735
for all services.
The week's increase was al
most evenlv divided between the
'ftilvo major branches. Tha army's
r7ntal rose 3.494 while" the navv's
reflecting heavy losses of Oki
nawa, climbed 3,304.
The casualty total for all ser
vices includes 227,097 dead, 607,
468 wounded, 63,455 missing and
104,867 taken prisoner.
Of the prisoners, about 90,000
were in Europe and have teen
liberated. ,
Little Hope for Missing
The missing total includes
about 44,000 army missing' in
Europe. Undersecretary of War
Robert P. Patterson told a press
conference' that there was little
hope that- many of these will
turn up alive. -
.Patterson disclosed that five
infantry divisions the third,
fourth, ninth, 45th and 36th
suffered a total of 133,394 casual
ties. '.''
Each, he said, suffered losses
greater than its total strength at
any pne time. An infanliy divi
sion's strength is about J5,000.
With the exception of the
fourth, which landed . in Norm
andy on D-Day, all saw service
in North Africa, Sicily or Italy
before combat extended to
France- and Germany.

The purpose' of the" show is to
bring forcefully to the public the
cost of this equipment iri terms
of war bonds, every item having
its own price tag as represented
by the dollars the' public invests
in bonds.
The members of the various
teams were selected from groups
returning to replacement centers
after combat duty overseas. They
were sent to the famous infantry
'A 1 tsenning, ua.,
jVnnhere they underwent special
training. The basis of selection
of the men for this duty was
chiefly combat experience, and
the' 1,100 men who comprise the
teams have an average of more
than 2 years service. They col
lectively hold more than 1,000
medals and other decorations.
Disabled Veterans
Held Employable
CHICAGO, .May 31 (UP)
Ninety per cent of the returning
disabled servicemen are employ
able, Millard W. Rice, Washing
ton; D. C, national service direc
tor of the Disabled American vet
erans! said today.
Speaking to' state veterans em
ployment representatives of the
United States employment serv
ice, Rice predicted, however, that
disabled vdterans will never con
stitute more than 4 per cent of
the total number of employables
in the country.
"All of them can be accorded
the opportunity for suitable, use
ful, employment without disrupt
ing the entire employment situa
tion;" he s'iid.
The disabled prefer employ
ment to pensions and more jobs
for the disabled would relieve the
potential burden on taxpayers,
he added.

After church services, I walk
ed alone down the winding road
toward Red Bench One, the D
Day designation we had for that
stretch of shore. There in a quiet
glade the chaplains had laid out
our marine division cemetery.
Something about its solitude
reminds me of Hilton's Shangri
La. By some strange twist of
terrain here, too, it is secluded
and untouched. There is no tur
moil here, only peace.
Here it is cool. Here the sun's
rong rays seem canted as if
bent in a celestial canopy. Here
is a small stream at the top of
the tropical glade, reminding me,
somehow, of the Little Beaverkill
at the bend where we used to get
those Rainbows . . .

Black Marketer
Gets Stiff Sentence
NEW YORK, May 31 (UP)
Federal Judge Francis G. Caffey
sentenced Dr. Abraham Freitag,
44, to three years in prison and
fined him $100,000 today for
selling 3.000.0TO yards of cotton
bandage on the black market.
It was the heaviest black mar
ket sentence ever imposed in this
area.

white crosses, straight in their
long lines and evenly spaced. The
paint was fresh and white, the
names plain'-lottercd. Here a
major, there a private, all quiet
ly resting. The foliage is strange
and exotic to the eyes, but a palm
frond and a bougainvillia bloom
seem as peaceful here as the up
thrusting oak and spring flowers
in an Ohio country churchyard.
And if the road leading hero is
hot and dusty still this rude
road over the knoll is the one
they came down together. And
the sky is the same. sky. The
same stars come out at night. The
same sun shines on these new
graves as on the old at home.
Names I knew and their faces
come swarming back into mem
ory. Call them Smith and Jones
and Brown. Add a "ski" or jum

fought with; yet, I don't feel sor
row. Rather it is that I mis?
their ways of kidding, or of smil

the chow.
A man dies aid that's that. If
I die, here is where I would want
to be with the others, the men
I fought with.
In dying, these men these
friends of mine made this bit
of soil forever American. .They
are in no strange land. They arc
buried in no strange grave.
As I look out over this quiet
burial place and down the broad
vistas of the island hills to the
sea, I wish that those who loved
these dead could know this place,
could know amid what tranquil
ity their Sons have' found their
final resting places.
