pyo and had received facial' In
Jurlcn at Ouadulcanol ; In the
Solomon Islands, Inspired the
Commandos to bring men still
In tho hospitals to Klamath
Falls for a fow days' visit,
"This young marine, a graduate
or the University of Kentucky,
Is the finest type of man who
makes up the ranks of our
Ck army, navy, air and marine
5 corps," said Captain Hcldomann.
''Ho Is approximately 6 feet 2
Inches tall, and has the carriage
of pride and determination that
make our fighting men out
standing on evory battlefield In
this global war." Her' Is tho
copy of his letteV:
Monday, January 4.
I arrived without Incident
early this morning, one hour
bofore the deadline, my train
bolng about 12 hours late.
' Words cannot convey to you
how much I enjoyed my trip to
Oregon, and especially Klamath
Falls. You know this was my
first time out to visit' with
Americans In almost a year,.
You did so much for me. 1
deeply and sinceroly appreciate
tho things you did for mo. I
shall; never forgot your kindness
and sincerity. It Is my prayer
O that I am worthy of your con
fidence and friendship.
On tho train for Mare Island
I met soveral sailors and sol
diers and they said Klamath
Falls was the best place, they
ever spent leave. I surely agreo
with them.
It Was an honor and a pleas
ure to go and keep the war far
from our beloved USA for peo
plo like you. I didn't do much,
but I did all I could.
I shall return to Klamath
Falls on another visit, and I'm
looking forward to meeting you
again.
May this be your finest and
happiest Now Year everl
Sincerely,
(Name signed, withhold).
"There are thousands of
young man coming back injured
from combat duty, who need
words of encouragement, the as
sociation of civilian life, and the
deslro to learn that they can
again take tholr placo and bo an
Important part in tho democracy
of our country," said Captain
Ilcldcmann.
Men Need Change '
"Another ro a son tho Com
mandos wish to bring mon from
service men's hospitals here for
n Jew days' visit has boon told
thorn by several mon who have
been In these hospitals and later
visited tho Commando, center
here. The sorvlcs men praise
our hospitals but, thoy suy,
there Is not a groat deul for tho
men to do In tholr wards besides
talk to each othor. Thoy talk
over their respoctivo buttles,
Thoy got these all talked over
and then another boatload of
wounded mon arrive at the hos
pital and they start In again.
They then visit and go over tho
battles of tho now mon brought
in.
, This Is the thing the doctors
try to keep the men from doing.
Howover, it is a difficult situa
tion for thorn to guard against
when these men are togothor
with practically no outsido con
tacts, as they have been brought
to these hospitals direct from
foreign duty, '
i Hits Home
"This war Is beginning to hit
In our very homes now, mon we
know being Injured, lost and
missing, It Is our duty to try
and do everything we can to
help our fighting men In every
way wo can. How could we do
it any bettor than to entortoln
few Injured men, send them
back to tholr hospitals filled
with a new spirit of friendliness,
confidence, and' let them toll
their fellow patients In our
service hospitals how the Amer
ican peoplo at home are trying
to do their part for them? The
fow guests we would entertain
In Klamath Falls would build
great deal of morale in theso
brave mon who have fought so
courageously for us.. It would
help awaken In their tired and
sick minds the deslro to have
tholr clmnco again In our Amer
ican life, ,
"Tho Commandos urge evory
pursuit buying a ticket to attend
this dunco at tho armory and
sco the outstanding floor show
at 11 p, m, it will be woll' worth
the price of tho ticket alone to
sco and hear the performances
of the soldiers from Camp
White on tho floor show. Camp
White Is sending over Its best
lulont. It is tho finest you would
see In any city, as theso soldiers
wore top professional dancers
and radio singers bofore thoy
entered the army. Tickets may
bo purchased from any Com
mando, the Commando Sorvlco
Mori's Center, 81S Main street,
telephone 0103, or Everbody's
drug store. The tickets are $1.10
each." ,

COMMAND NEW
PACIFIC ARMY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 VP)
The arrival of Lieutenant Gen
eral Walter Kreuger in Australia
to take command $t a now field
army of American troops, the
6th army, to be formed of units
already in the southwest Pacific,
was announced . today by Sec
retary of War Stimson.
Kreuger, formerly commander
of the 3rd army with headquart
ers at San Antonio, .Texas, went
to Australia at the request of
General Douglas MacArthur,
Stimson said, because the
strength of American forces in
the southwest Pacific has reach
ed such proportions that the or
ganization of a field army there
appeared desirable.
MacArthur retains his post as
commander in chief of allied
forces In the southwest Pacific,
and Stimson said also that Kreu
gor's now assignment would not
affect the, status Of Lieutenant
General Robert L. Elchelbergcr.
Elchclberger, the secretary
said, Is a corps commander.
Stimson added that ho has had
'a very gallant record," in the
field command of troops during
tho Papuan campaign In New
Guinea,

What Will Become of Him
When He Comes Home?
Kreuger Is succeeded in the
3rd army command by Major
General Courtney H. Hodges,
who becomes a lieutenant gen
eral by virtue of his new Job.
Secretary Stimson told his
press conference today not to
draw too hasty conclusions from
Kreuger's appointment that any
largo scalo offensive In the south
west Pacific was Imminent.
Officers who have known
Kreuger for many years regard
him as Just about the most com
pletely military man In the army.
A soldier on duty all day. ha
goes home at night and studies
military history, pores over mil
itary maps, bones up on cast
palgns and tactical theories.
