Corsica VnchangedTyy: 'T7ar;r
Inhabitants All 'Bonapartists9
' By WES GALLAGHER . ' - .'- -
AJACCIO,' Corsica, Oct. 10-(Delayed)-('P)-Bound for Corsica
we left a smalt French air -field outside Allgiers in a 1939
Martin bomber which had been converted for air travel." The
wind whips in through numerous cracks, and even at 1000
, feet it is- cold, There are numerous rain squalls and as the plane
bounces around the water drips down on your neck driven by
our 200-mile-an-hour plus speed.
Our pilot, like most Frenchmen,
believes In saving gas and does
not climb . unnecessarily. As a re
sult we skip through mountain
passes of 6000 feet elevation but
go only a few feet from the ground
below and even less from the rocky
walls that are just a few feet from
thewingtips.
e"AS ;We cut across theMediter
: ranean the squalls cease and we
ride serenely through huge foam
mountains - of clouds . stretching
four and five miles high. As we
approach Sardinia it" becomes bit
terly cold at 12,000 feet and our
summer khaki pants feel as clam
my as 'ice.
Sardinia suddenly bursts out of
the clouds below and we half ex
pect to see ; a burst ' of : flak - and
fighters because a few days ago
this was "enemy territory." .
We swoop into a slithery land
ing in the rain on a tiny airfield.
- Checking in with the French in
telligence, the m a J o r in charge
asks r us - if ' we have a Jeep as
though expecting us to yank one
out of the tail of ' our f'none-too
large plane." AD. Europeans expect
Americans to carry . boundless
packages of cigarettes in one
pocket and a jeep in the other, t
. .Ajaccio seems too..pa'cked with'
vaguely beautiful girls to one
who haVgrown accustomed to the
Arabs'' and mixed races of North
Africa. ( - . 7" 77 'i - '- ' "U
In the tiny town partisans with
Sten guns over t be i r shoulders
mingle with Goums, French Spa
bis, American .GI's -and a sprink
ling of British RAF men. -
A : small Corsican boy with a
wooden replica ofj'.a Sten gun
over- his shoulder 7 proudly steps
behind his partisan father who
has a morelethal weapon.
Like all of Europe the capital
is bare except for countless repli
cas of Napoleon. All inhabitants
on the island are "Bonapartists"
and r the Americans are more
popular -than the British because
deep in every .7 pure Corsican's
heart smolders ' a : resentment
against . the English for defeating
and imprisoning the famous Cor-
. sican. - "" !
. Food is scanty and a r walk
through the market makes one
wonder what would happen if
American housewives had to face
the same marketing - problems.
There j are only, four things for
sale apples, grapes, a weed used
for . greens and peppers. Long
lines of women, almost all clad
in mourning, stand patiently be-'
fore each, little stand. .
1 There are plenty of . sidewalk
cafes and in one we find two
American GI's of the handfull
now in the city. They are Signal
Corps Corporal Thomas A Owens,
jr., a former printer on the Pat
ton, Pa., Union Press, and Walter
Regan, Elmhurst, Long Island, NY,
The trouble , around here is
that you can't tell the French ar-
Lmy from the real GI's," complained
uwens.
The French troops landing : in
Corsica all have been re-equipped
down 7 to , their : underwear with
American army, goods, and it is
difficult to tell where one army
starts and the other ends. - 7 i 7
Owens and Regan, like . thou
sands of. other soldiers, are puz
zlied by the lenient treatment ac
corded the Italians who still have
the only ," transport on - the island
and - rush 7 about polished r- and
clothed like dressed window dum

of those blokes replied 'Well you

that? J he demanded while the
Grs sympathized.
The subject turned to Napoleon
as; it often does in this town and
Owens said he and Regan 7 had
just been down to visit the famous
Corsican's birthplace.
It looks sort of moth eaten,
he added.
