get out because of the heavy ar
tillery fire.
They kept up their fire on the
advancing Reds. "But when the
Chinese got the bunker next to
ours and then started to fire on
use we figured it was time to
get out." They dashed for the
nearby tank.
They made it to the tank but
found it "buttoned up."
Wheeler and Sanders inside the
tank heard the frantic shouting
and pounding on the sides of the
tank. "We thought they were
Chinks—but we finally recognized
their voices" said Wheeler.
A hatch was opened and the
men scrambled inside. Ten min
utes later Chinese were all over
the tank. They even stole one
of the machineguns off the top.
The men inside stayed quiet and
the Chinese finally went away.
"Then we saw a line of Chinese
toiling up the side of Old Baldy's
slippery sides carying ammuni
tion" said Wheeler "so we let
them have it with our 76mm and
machineguns."
The Chinese returned the fire
with grenades which blew the
hatch open. Morris fastened it.
down with his belt.
They started the tank down the
hill but a bazooka blew one of
the treads off. They were stuck
there all night under heavy mor
tar and artillery fire.
Mortar fire continued to pound
the tank throughout the next day.
Finally at dusk the men were or
dered over the command radio
to get out of the tank. As they
raced down the hill Allied artillery
and bombs chewed up the hill. A
jeep picked them up at the bottom
and took them to safety.

Shortwave Station Transmits
Free Messages For Hoodmen
Hood soldiers who want to send lings. Instead of sending fifteen or
greetings to their parents or just twenty words Corporal DeWolfe

'Guards Needed
For Post's Pools
There is an urgent need for qual
ified life guards to serve as guards
at the Post swimming pools Capt.
Harold T. Smith officer in- charge
of Division Special Services said.
For those who don't have a Life
Saving Certificate a special life
guard school will be conducted at
Pool No. One located behind the
Main Sports Arena on April 20.
This school will train and develop
the personnel necessary for the
operation of Hood's pools.
Men selected will be placed on
detached service with Special Ser
vice to act as lifeguards at one
of the six pools located on this
Post.
Many good hours of swimming
are in store for Hood swimmers
when the pools open on May 1 and
the pools will remain open as long
as weather permits Captain Smith
said.
Those interested in becoming
lifeguards are urged to get in
touch with Division Special Ser
vices at Building 237 or phone 509
or 3212.

ber. When the number reaches its
destination it is translated into a
"Happy Birthday" or "Best Wish
es" by the receiver before deliv
ery.
"This system would not be pos
sible" Corporal DeWolfe pointed
out "if it were not for the close
cooperation between MARS sta
tions and the licensed amateur
radio operators in America and
other countries.
"In fact" added Private Cross-
dale "our radio communications
would be impossible if it weren't
for the thousands of 'ham' ope
rators."
Backing up her statement are
hundi'eds of "acknowledgement"
postcards that K5WAB has receiv
ed from amateur stations they
have contacted.
When asked why stations under
the MARS system existed other
than the fact that they are a great
convenience to military personnel
Corporal DeWolfe had plenty to
say on that score. He explained
that thousands of operators are
now being trained. If an emergency
should arise thei-e will be a smooth
running network and trained per
sonnel both military and civilian
to handle just about any situation.
He added that at the outbreak of
the Korean conflict MARS stations
carried a great deal of the com
munications load to the Far East.
"That's why" Private Crossdale
remarked "we welcome as many
messages as we can get. The more
practice the better."
Located in Bldg. 2225 on 52nd
St. just across from the "Retreat
gun" at Division Hqs. Station
K5WAB is open for business from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday and from 8 a.m. to 12 noon
on Saturday. Although no guaran
tee can be made on delivery of
any message every effort is made
by the pair of "radio-bugs" to
get the mesage through. This is
true in most instances if there is
a MARS or ham station near the
destination of the message.

Scouts
About
Plans are well underway for the
North Fort Hood bivouac. Fifty
boys from Troop 111 plan to join
more than 800 Scouts from the
Heart of Texas Council for the
three day affair.
The Gi'een Bar Patrol consisting
of the Patrol and Troop Leaders is
making final plans for a three day
hike and camping trip to Belton.
The Patrol of about nine boys will
be working towards their Camping

scoutcraft activities.
Troop 111 is sponsoring a
"Neckerchief Slide" contest in con
junction with the National Boy
Scout Neckerchief Slide Contest.
Five prizes will be given to boys
in the troop. All the slides must
be constructed by the boys them
selves and members of the Green
Bar Patrol will judge as to quali
fications and eventual winners.
The contest will close May 11.
The Board of Review met at the
last troop meeting. Eight boys ap
peared before the board which is
made up of members of the Boy
Scout Committee. All the boys
had either met the first or second
class requirements and were pass
ed by the board.

age of 11 years are invited to at
tend any of troop meetings held

Changing Colors
(PIO)—"Part dog part chame
leon" probably best describes the
Japanese dog of Lt. Col. A. C.
Johanssen Fort Hood provost
marshal.
Answering to the name of
"Yushu" hte four-legged native of
Nippon is a thoroughbred Shiba-
Ken. Of medium height and weigh
ing 32 pounds the dog has sharp
ears a pointed nose and a long
curved tail with a hook in it.
But the most unusual feature of
the canine is his ability to change
color. Aged throe and one half
years "Yushu" is now on his
fourth color. When Col. and Mrs.
Johanssen first got hi mas a puppy
he was gray. From gray he turned
a mottled speckled color then to
a reddish fox hue and then to the
present light fawn color.
The traditional Japanese delight
in bright colors has not make itself
apparent in "Yushu" so far but
Hood soldiers won't be too surpris
ed if they see an animated rainbow

Wamsutta's Lustercale is made from all Egyptian long staple
cotton two-ply yarn. It is the finest fabric of its kind woven in
America. One of the leading testing laboratories announced publicly
after testing a garment made from Lustercale that it was the finest
cotton fabric they had tested in twenty-eight years.
It can be referred to as a cotton that looks and feels like silk.
Its beautiful hand and luster are permanent and will actually improve
with laundering. Its washing qualities have been extensively tested and
they are well in excess of any cotton fabric now being used in the
men's and women's wear trade.
Wamsutta's knowledge of weaving nothing but fine cottons
gained from one-hundred and eight years of experience their ability
to spin yarns finer than most other mills and their skill of incorporat
ing this ability to use the finest imported yarns is reflected in the
finished product.
