Drc l,L 3(ftsiKegv at Camp Adair, Sees Bitter Action - Th S61t infantry regiment, a part of the fist division one based at Camp Adair, has seenplcnty of action since being attached to General Clark's Fifth army in Italy, and "never save ground once gained." It was disclosed In a tor? .received by The Statesman. ' The story was sent by TJ O. Max Burns of Salem. It was ia the form of a clipping from an unidentified newspaper, 'and herewith Is reprinted in full: WITH THE 5TH ARMY, Sept. 14 The 361st infantry regi ment, whose presence in Italy as part of the 91st infantry division has just been revealed, landed in Italy on May 31, entered the line two days later, and the following day was in battle. Cmmarided by Col. R. W. Broedlow, of Medfbrd, Ore., the 361st first went into action north of Veletri where it was attached to the 36th Division. It participated in the fighting that won the Al ba no Hills, and it figured promi nently in a bitter battle for pic turesque Lake Albano. The fall of Rome, a climactic chapter of the campaign, brought no halt to the 361st Regiment By passing the city, they moved north along Highway 1, overcoming suc cessive German delaying positions in the process. v. ......, . , ...... 311st Advances Regularly On June 8, the 361st participated in the capture of Tarquinia. - The following day, it moved 10 miles farther north to capture Montalto. Continuing to advance, and pass ing Orbetello, the 361st defeated' German forces near Maglianol " .Upon ra riving in the Grosetto area, the regiment was attached to the 1st armored division. It was east of Grosetto that the 361st had one of its mot successful engage ments. At a place called Ponte d'Istria, one company crossed the Ombrone river to enter the town while two other companies flanked the villige. iWhen a German force moved forward to counterattack the one company, the other two on the flank caught the enemy by surprise. I Outfit In Bitter Fighting , ! On July 4, the 361st came out of the line for a week's rest and re fitting. - It went back on July 11, taking up a position east of the coastal village of Cecina. ' From there it moved forward against va ried opposition, taking Ponsacco, Orceto, and Pontedera. The 361st reached the Arno river on July 17, one of the first units to reach that natural barrier. ( , Although a relatively recent ar rival in General Clark's 5th army, the 361st has participated in bitter fighting, made spectacular ad vances, took all assigned I objec tives, and never gave ground once gained, an enviable record for an organization whose battle baptism came within 48 hours of landing. Kate Smith says : ' i ''I. ,i '' """"i'W- ' I t ' Ml Th Beit Friend Any Woman Ever Had" "Every woman, at some time or other, knows what it means to face a probfem endangering her love, marriage or security. And when important per sonal decisions must be made, a woman appreci ates g true friend who supplies guidance and comfort That's why I think Tacs Stobt Mac aztnb so well deserves its overwhelming popularity. For . we all learn more from the revealing true-life ' experiences of others than any other way. 1 i Last Call for. Overseas Mailing j October 15th Last Day Prince Mart ; 16-oz. Fbg. , ..

Felton is stationed in Missouri with the military platoon of the 70th infantry. . ' The chiggers dont attack all GI's," Felton . writes, "but they seem to have an affinity for me. Every time I go afield I come back covered with them. But seriously the Missouri people have been fine to us and it isn't a bad country at all.- tSdr':.-; 1 : Felton likes the country but misses the evergreens of Oregon. He can understand, he writes, how Harold Bell Wright became in spired to write The Shepherd of the Hills" with the Ozark moun tains as a setting. Rolling and heavily wooded, he writes, they are an intriguing sight. . ' . - A compliment was paid the po lice of Salem by the former judge when he indicated "cooperation, of the local enforcement officer here doesn't match that given by the home town police."
