Report Received From Trailblozeri
Little Newspaper
Tells 70 th Division Activities
' By Isabel Chilis
' City Editor, Ths Statesman i I
Because it carried a news story quoting The; Statesman on
portended , changes at Camp Adair,
70th division's TrailMazer newspaper was lorwaraea xo bus news
paper last week by PFC D. 15.
To newsroom personnel who
activated at Camp Adair, two
years ago June 15, who had known
many of the youths the 70th two
years ago consisted largely of 18-year-olds)
with the white pole

snow-capped mountain peak a gay
patch of color on . khaki shoul
ders, the four-page newspaper
published V "somewhere in" Ger
many" contained much of interest
besides its mention of The States
man. .
' ' j
The Trailblazers still officially
carry that name with , which they
were christened at Adair, but men
of the Z76th have a new moniker,
bespeaking recent activities they
are thet men of the Bloody Ax
outfit.
ColAlbertC. Morgan, only reg
imental commander who has serv
ed witfc5H0th since its activa
tion, adaressed his regiment, the
276thJ at solemn memorial serv
ices .held on the division's birth
day. But the services did iot
commemorate activation, nor were
they in honor of Infantry day!. On
Lorelei rock, where once nazi
orgiastic ceremonies were held, the
276th remembered its dead bud
dies, with a roll call of names of
men killed in action and a re
sponse by. friends in each com
pany. .. ;!j
The 274th regiment marched
smartly past a reviewing stand at
Wiesbaden that day.
Men of the 284th even in peace
time do more than parade some
of them have been taking scenic
trips down the Rhine on the gobd
ship Willem III, Rhine river pas

Omer Bradley as a private yacht

Units of the 70th captured Ju

of "Berlin and one of the large

Prepare Talks
By D. Harold Oliver,

momentous of all the conferences
of state' governors will convene on
this historic, ' auto-less island ' in

Chief executives' of more - than
40 stater will give almost exclus
ive attention during the four-day
session to -reconversion and post
war: problems and - to further
steps for winning the Pacific war.
Speakers will . include three
prospective candidates . for the
republican presidential nomina
tion in 1948, and top: command
ers of the army and navy. Be-v
cause of official duties President
Truman today declined an Invi
tation Ho address the conference.
However, Rational j politics, - a
hot sideline t. the 1644 confer
ence because of the closeness of
the ' nominating convention that
chose the governors of New York
and Ohio Dewey and Bricker
as the GOP presidential ticket,
may not be as evident on the sur
face this year.
"It is much too early to start
thinking about the ' 1948 conven
tion," commented Gov, Earl War
ren of California,- himself a pos
sible candidate and who Is down
for a speech Monday afternoon
on "Decentralization of Industry

Other possible GOPj candidates
