'Black Jack' Pershing's Note
On Europe Invasion Revealed
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Dec. 2 (U.R) The old soldier was a sick man
5 even back in April, 1944, but the weight of the years hadn't
- knocked the flight out of his heart.
J.J.P. called an aide to his bedside at Walter Reed hospital
' and dictated:
"Statement bygr'w-j
. oenerai oi uie
Armies John J.
Pershing on D
; Day, June 6,
: 1944. (Remem
" ber this was in
April!)
"Ame r i c a n
troops have
landed in west
ern Europe. The
day of invasion
has arrived."
The old man signed his name
to the statement, half-licked the
cover, and sent it along by reg
ular mail to the office of war
information.
The intelligence was, of
course, a top-drawer secret
President Roosevelt, himself,
wasn t sure whether the plan
ned landing would come off on
schedule. But the old-timer
.who had slogged through the
mire of France in another war
to lead his men to victory was
confident that the sons of his
boys from World War I would
come through.
This part of the story has
never been told before about
" "Black Jack," as the general
affectionally was called.
Anyhow, the statement ar
rived in the morning mail along
with a lot of stuff that was des
tined to be pitched into the
; wastebasket. The man who
', opened it was Sam Davenport,
one of the executives in the
, OWI office and now editor of the
office of coordinator of infor
mation for the house of repre
sentatives. "The thing had come unseal
ed," the affable Davenport told
me. "Alter 1 read It, 1 was
trembling so that I couldn't re
member the combination to our
vault."
Davenport has the statement.
It is a treasured possession
and lies in his safety deposit box.
"That's the way old 'Black
Jack' operated, though,' he said.
"He was trusted implicitly, out
of respect to his position. He
knew every secret as soon as the
i high command did, or before,
' sometimes, and the old man lay
there on his bed and followed
the second World War by radio
. and maps.
"But he'd give you a fright the
' way he'd send things through
the mall."
for Hammond played several
numbers on the organ. , He is a
nephew of Les Scoggin from
Grand Island.
Earle Coburn, acting as mas
ter of ceremonies, called on Gor
don Matthews, WM, for a few
words of welcome, H. Wayne
Stanard, McMinnville; RWDD

Harry Sherman read the minu
tes of the first homecoming held
a year ago.
There were ten past masters
of Jacob Mayer Lodge present.
August Detmering was master
here 32 years ago and John
Parks, McMinnville was master
here in 1924. Both were present.
The Lady Byng trophy is
awarded annually to the Na
tional Hockey league player
who combines gentlemanly play
with effectiveness.
