USO Studies
Coming Needs
In northwest
The principle of effective unity
Jn diversity was demonstrated at
the northwest training institute
lor staff workers of USO which
was held from Monday to Friday
of last week at Oceanlake. Repre
senting six agencies of three great
faiths, USO gave proof that the
whole is greater than the sum of
Its parts and that loyalty to agen
cy is not inconsistent with loyalty
to USO.
This is significant because the
plan of. USO is -new in the history
of the world and in its field it is
using principles of cooperation
which many believe must be
made universal if there is ever to
be an enduring peace. Mornings
united program of workshops and
panel discussions with Catholics,
Protestants, Jews, men and wom
en, negroes and whites taking
equal part. Aftemoens the group
of 100 divided in la agency ses
sions, considering specific prob
lems of their own selected per
sonnel. Nights the group met
again as a whole for inspirational
addresses by national and region
al leaders from New York and
San Francisco, followed by social
programs.
The most important problem
facing the USO in the northwest
Is the development of quality
commensurate with the vast
quantity of services now rendered
. ana me expanding needs oz a
-flexible program in anticipation
of the great Pacific military push
in the near future.
National figures show that few
er than 3000 professional staff
members, direct a volunteer force
of more- than 800,000 volunteers
who conduct . a program In 2697
. operational units, wun a
monthly attendance of 27,000,000.
Robert Boardman, executive di
rector of the. Salem Chemeketa

Most Famous Front Line Reporter Is Little
Known Soldier-Writer, Sgt. Jack Foisie
By KENNETH I DDCON
WITH THE AEF IN ITALY,
Nov. ! 7c-(Delayed)-(JP-The most
famous front line reporter in this
theatre is a guy whose name you
may never have heard.
: Sometimes several correspond
ents join forces on a junket to the
front, One by one these represen
tatives of big news services and
top ranking papers back home are
introduced' to soldiers who smile
politely and say hello. Obviously
the doughboys never heard of
them or have forgotten.
Then a quet gray-eyed little old
man of 24. whose leggings are
laced the GI way, steps up with a
soldier's loose and easy stride and
shakes hands. Delighted grins
break out all around. '
"Oh sure," the doughboys say,
"You are Jack Foisie of Stars and
Stripes. We've read a lot of your
stuff."
Or else they remind him of
when they met in a Tunisian cam
paign before he joined Stars and
Stripes. He jockeyed a halftrack
the army's illegitimate son of a
truck and a tank in those days,
and manned a machinegun until
the vehicle was shot out from un-4-
der him m one rout at Kassenne
Pass. Then this erstwhile west-
coast waterfront reported mount-
ed another and went back in with
the boys who finally ran Rommel
out to the sea.
For Jack was a reporter-soldier
before he became a soldier's re
porter, and now, since the army's
overseas paper is about the only
regular up-to-date sheet the fight
ing men see, Foisie's byline is a
byword at the front.
He's a good guy to work with
up front if you stay awhile. His
long face is open sesame at every
chow line. They knew him or of
him in Sicily. He can get cigarettes
(though he doesn't smoke) or C
rations, for the supply sergeant
knew him at Salerno.
He knows the score on battle
strategy, on the relation of var
ious nnita te the front, impor
tance of different troop and
equipment movements, the guys
to see for stories, the place to
park your bedroll at nifht to be
safe from traffic and camoufla
ged by tree or bush, and where
to fill your helmet with water
to wash and shave in the morn
lnr. ' More important, he knows when
to and when not to be scared from
actual combat experience. He
was bombed, straffed,- shelled,
shot at in Africa, but when others
mention it he qualifies it with:
"You can't compare what little
fighting I did with what these
guys are doing day after day and
besides, I've had closer calls since

Tva turned reporter again than I
ever did in combat."
Even so it's ' comforting . when
the thunder of the front is most
threatening to see Jack calmly
sucking a lifesaver and taking
notes from some private, and
when he makes a dive for the dirt
or foxhole it's time to take cover,
even if you can't hear or see a
thing. Hell take any risk to get a
good story, but none whatever
just for the hell of it.
Five feet nine inches tall, he
weighs a scant 140 pounds and
with his hairline already reced
ing from his melancholy pan, he
looks much older than his 24
years. At the ' moment his full
handle is Staff Sgt. Jack Foisie,
but he's been busted and boosted
time and again like many another
GI Joe, and he strips the stripes
from bis sleeve when he takes to
the field.

CAMP ADAIR Emphasizing
the value of singing as an im
portant morale builder for the
soldiers, special services officers
throughout the 70th division at
Camp Adair are training song
leaders from among' the Trail?

A song leader in every platoon

who has asked" company coman-
ders to pick their own songsters. -
Special classes . in- song-leading

of the trade are taught whereby
sweet music is lured from the most
unmusical vocal cords. Methods

the Pacific coast and directing
servicemen's vocalizing. '

Who : Woke
Poor Bugle
rz
CAMP ADAIR Spare the
bugler! Unless it's already been
done, somebody is going to mur
der the bugler (or the guy who
woke him in the black, foggy
dawn last week to blow reveille
for SCU 1911, Camp Adair).
The official waker-upper came
to the black bunk of the SCU
band barracks where the bugler
of the day. Pvt. Doakes, slept
"Time to get up," he hissed.
Pvt. Doakes, half - asleep, grab
bed his pants, GI shoes and his
bugle and headed through the
murk towards the parade grounds.
Under a street light he blearily
peered at his watch. Migoshi 20
past the hour! He'd never make
the area. So, sleepily he turned on
the road fronting barracks 464,
and played his serenade.
From each barracks came a
thumping sound. It was the bar
racks sergeant hitting the floor.
It was a cold morning. Here and
there lights went on. Then there
were other sounds. Then the
lights went off.
Pvt. Doakes had done his duty
welt He slogged back towards his
barracks. Under the street light
he looked at his watch again. Oh,
goodness! He'd blown reveille an
hour early! Oh, dear!
So, It is only out of kindness
that Pvt. Doakes must forever re
main anonymous.
