HILL 386 BATTLE
3 WEEKS IN HELL
M
Stand By 3rd Army Men
Saved Vital Bridgehead
One of War's Bravest
By Collis Small
United Press Correspondent
With the 3rd Army on the
Mosello, Oct. 2 (U.R Wraith
like men came out of the fox
holes on Hill 386 today after an
eDlc three weeks stand that
saved a vital bridgehead.
It had been three weeks In
hell. But they didn't look much
different from other mud-caked
doughboys that Is, until you
looked into their crazed eyes
and at their matted beards and
their feet, red and swollen In
shoes whose heels and soles had
rotted off in the stagnant water
of the foxholes where they had
been living and dying.
Death Bolide Them
1st Lt. Doald Phillips, platoon
leader, of Cadllla, Mich., was
calm. His hands hardly shook
at all as he traced the course of
his gallant comrades across a
map, from the west bank of the
Moselle near Arnaville to the
blood-soaked hill called 386.
"I guess you won't believe
me when I tell you what we
have been through," Phillips
said wearily. "Unless you have
lived with death sitting right
beside you in your foxhole. I
guess you wouldn't understand.
"We crossed the river in as
sault boats at midnight three
weeks ago. The Germans knew
we were coming because while
we were still huddled In the
boats on the west bank we
started getting It from 88's.
Hell Breaks Loos
"We finally got to the other
shore and started up a hill.
Some of us were pinned down
by German mortar fire until
dawn but we got up the hill
anyway.
"Then all hell broke loose.
Germans from an uncleared
area across the river pumped
88's Into us from the rear. Ger
man artillery screamed at us
from both sides and from up
' ahead. Our own artillery from
across the river was pounding
: Into the area. Nobody knew
which was which or which way
1 to duck.
"The little village of Arry
. was at the base of the hill and
tanks started out both ends of
. main street. Some Mark IV's
' punched holes In a stone wall
and fired point blank at us with
! just their muzzles sticking out.
Other tanks tried to hit us from
the sides.
. "German Infantrymen follow
ed the tanks out of the village.
We had a few Bazookas and the
boys fired them until they
burned out.
, "German Infantry tried to
storm the hill four times from
the cover of an orchard next to
the village but we drove them
back with rifle fire.
Nails Slaughtered
"At 3 o'clock the next morn
ing the Germans attacked with
a strong force. We slaughtered
them. The Jerries came sneak
ing out of tho woods and we
held our flro until they were
within 73 feet. Then we cut
loose with rifles, machine guns
and mortars. Dead Germans
stacked up two deep.
"I don't know whether It was
true but one of the few Ger
mans we captured said only
eight men survived out of three
companies.
"The next day was worse and
it didn't get any better for six
days when our armor came up.
It was horrible. The foxholes
filled with water and our shoes
rotted off.
"When we came out today
one boy told me couldn't eat
hot food anymore because some
thing happened to his stomach
up there.
"In all Jruth, we Were pretty
disorganized and it Is a miracle
we held. But we did, by God.
and we saved the bridgehead
too."

Assailing "waste and extrava

He said it was "far better" to
have low taxes and a national
income of $150,000,000 rather
than high taxes and $76,000,

YcJ, Associated is proud of the men and women who have worked so

We're proud, too, of the others patriotically bending every effort to speed

Type Catalytic Cracker unit which will vastly increase our aviation fuel
production still further.
OUTPUT UP MORI THAN FIFTEEN-FOLD
Avon's 100-octane output wis large in 1940, for Associated even then was
pioneering commercial volume production of this super-fuel. Since Pearl
Harbor, it has been doubled, redoubled and doubled sgain by immediate all
ut conversion, plus tireless efforts of the good soldiers in laboratory, draft
:g room and production line. Before this year's end, the new "Cat Cracker"
vill bring production to more than (ijleen-fold the 1940 level. And it will
tour out additional thousands of barrels daily of the amazing new super
iviation gasoline when the 'Army calls for it.
Our hats are off to the Citizen Soldiers who have ilaytd on thi job at
