I t GI's Guard Lonely Roads, Bridges on Christmas While Others Eat Turkey e t a 1 --I By The Associated Press MALMEDY, Belgium, Dec. 27.- (Delayed)- There are plenty of nasty jobs in the Army but, at the present time, one of the worst is held by small groups of two or three men who comprise road blocks and bridge guards on lonely roads many miles! behind the front. Virtually every doughboy on the fighting front had turkey dinner for Christmas, but not these isolated men. They crouched over their little fires in the snow heating C-rations. They were completely out of touch with happenings. From one minute to the next, they did not know when a whole battalion of enemy para- troopers might sneak. around them in the woods, or when Tiger tanks would come lashing up the road. It was cold and lonely and nerve- wracking. If a car stopped, they would all rush out and ;et the "late news." Each tidbit was digested- and enlarged upon with rumor. ! The fifth column still is one of the Nazi's favorite weapons. Dou- ghboys who have been overrun and succeeded in hiding from the Ger- man troops told of civilians jump- ing on German tanks when they came into a town and pointing out the hiding places of GI's and pro- Allied residents. Civilians who showed a favoritism for the Ameri- cans in the overwhelmed areas now are having a rough time of it. Hitler's mixing of V-weapons with regular bombing is confusing. There's Court Drops Threej MtateBribe Cases DETROIT, Dec. 29.-(AP)-Charges of soliciting bribes were dismissed in Recorder's Court today against Rep. William G. Buckley, and former Rep. Joseph L. Kaminski, Detroit Demo- crats, and State Senator Charles C. Diggs, Democrat, also of Detroit. Upon motion of Prosecutor Julian G. McIntosh, Judge Joseph A. Gillis ordered charges that Buckley and Kaminski had sought a $109 bribe from Dr. Howard C. Simons, Detroit chiropodist in connection with a 1939 bill to regulate chiropody. one town behind the American front which seems to catch all kinds of trouble. You drive through its streets and suddenly hear shaking explo- sions and clouds of dust go up and everybody starts running. It is impossible to tell the regu- lar bombs as they hit from explod- ing buzz bombs. In some places, to this combination might be add- ed 800-pound shells from railroad guns. GI's who waylaid a German mo- torcycle rider yesterday received an Efforts Fail To Save Engineer In Detroit Crash' DETROIT, Dec. 29.-(P)-Death won a race with rescue squads seek- ing to free a trainman pinned under wreckage today after the derailment of all but one coach of a Detroit- bound New York Central passenger train in suburban Trenton. Enginecr 0. F. Hayward, 58, of' Sylvania, .. was killed in the cab of the locomotive after the train struck a stalled automobile, but Ray Har- mon, 36, of Toledo, the fireman, was still alive, pinned under the tender, when rescuers arrived. Rescue Efforts For more than five hours Harmon directed their efforts as they worked with .hovels and pieces of rail and finally with acetylene torches to cut away the twisted steel that had trapped him.< 3 Harmon's cries of "please hurry" and "I can't make it much longer" spurred the rescue efforts, but almost as the last steel barrier was cut away, he died. Passengers Shaken Up Although scores of passengers were shaken up as five coaches and a bag- gage car left the rails and bumped along the right-of-way for a block, only three persons required hospital treatment. They were George Fris- che, Toledo, Railway Express em- ploye, and Mrs. Bertie Rainey, Cleve- land, and Cosmo Tohazcuk, Bedford, Mass., both passengers. Nash Rush of Dearborn, a passen- ger who escaped injury, described the scene inside the coaches. "Bag- gage fell all around us and the win- dows started shattering," he said. "Mrs. Rush fell over me. The seat I was on broke off at the hinges and my wife fainted." State Stresses Need For Victory Gardens LANSING, Dec. 29.-(P)-If Mich- igan householders want vegetables on their tables next winter they should plan a victory garden, the Victory Garden Committee of the State Office of Civilian Defense de- clared today. The Committee said it believed 10 to 15 per cens fewer persons plan Victory Gardens. next summer and those who do plan gardens expect to reduce the size of them about ten per cent. unexpected German's eye view ofe the war. The rider was carrying2 press photographs headed for Berlinw of recent fighting. The pictures c showed burning American equip-L ment, American prisoners, the dead and triumphant SS troops. One picture in the group is beingf investigated. It shows a group ofc dead American soldiers lined up in front of their guns, and indicates 1 the men were marched out in a linet and then were mowed down. T41ere's still some work to be dones on air-ground liaison. One Ameri-s can held front line was bombed three days running by American planes,' while an American Thunderbolt pi- lot who came down to make sure where the front line was located was shot down by American flak. Luckily, he escaped with minor injuries. Here is a GI tip to housewives: GI's who hate synthetic lemonade which the Army medics insist they drink have found a good use for the lemon powder. It's the best cleaner for pots and pans to be found on -the market today. Sprinkled on a wet cloth, it will cut through any grease or dirt with one swipe. "If it cuts through dirt like that, think of what it does to your stom- ach," one GI said. "I'll stick to cognac and German-infested plain water." Children Return Old Age Money LANSING, Dec. 29.-(iP)-The chil- dren of a deceased old age assistance client have sent a $193 "conscience" return to the state, to reimburse it for money the mother "held out" while drawing assistance. F. F. Fauri, welfare director, said currency representing the payment was enclosed in a letter postmarked Grand Rapids which read: "Our mother received old age as- sistance and during the time she got assistance she sold some of her prop- erty she owned, and saved that money. She wanted us, the children, to have that to pay for the funeral, and the rest of what was left we could keep. "I don't think it is right for us to keep: that. I think the state should have it. So with this letter I send you $193 to put back in the old age assistance fund." Fauri said the old age assistance law makes no provision for accepting such contributions, but that the money would be paid into the state general fund, from which appropria- tions are made to the old age assis- tance and other state operating funds.
