battling bastards of i would like to make a As far As i the troops that fought at Bataan were the first american troops to see actual combat in world War i cannot see Why the Public and the War department have not tried to go out of their Way to give these for gotten men Why can t the bigwigs in Washington authorize a Spe Cial Bataan Patch to be worn on the left or right shoulder so As to give these men some Type of Consol ement for what they have been through you May say that officers and enlisted men who have returned to the states upon liberation in the Philippines have been treated with i agree with some of them i know of cases where army nurses who were interned at the Jap pow Camp at Santo have been Given the Silver Star and Bronze Star upon their return to the what about we Fellows that escaped from the japs and organized filipino guerrillas and continued resistance for three years even Macarthur must admit that the guerrillas were of some help to him Dur ing his liberation of the i for one have received no decorations in i had a Field commission As first but this was taken away from me and Ive heard nothing of it i Hope in the near future that Fellows like myself who return from the Philip Pines Are not treated As i i must say that cameras relationship with the nazis has been very touching in Short Carnera was a nazi Collaborator for the last few no amount of human interest can cover this feel that nazi collaborators belong in jail and do not belong As he roes in the pages of our army let us not forget so the soil is not yet lets not accept such people As friends because they happen to have been their responsibility was All the greater because of excuse and we will be Able to excuse them and they Are potbellied political appointees hold no Down the administrative tasks of the organization who Are not interested in the veterans the Public is pay Good Money to Send the Veteran to yet the men who Are to be the chief help of returning veterans Are sadly this problem is not confined to myself there Are Many vet Erans at this College who Are having similar am hoping that this demoralizing situation is brought to Light to the proper so that the Many returning future veterans will not have the wrong opinion of the country for which they James Wolf june Lostar withheld ii Draff the essential dear yank heres an idea for that army of occupation we see ahead of us for the next several War that venerable Dodge of so Many essential Young is on its last the essential Young men will no longer be quite so and then the Young men will begin they will weep because of the unemployment resulting from prob lems of peacetime they will also weep because they have had no Opportunity to Don their country uniform and perform outstanding feats on the Battlefield the of has been twisting their Arm so that they would stay on the Job All these they simply allowed to join the so How about canvassing these Essen tial Young then who Are no longer essential via their occupational defer ment cards found in each local draft Board then induct every one of them that has been deferred because of his production their term of As i see should read for the occupation and six shucks they might even get to be Kirkland Bender the inexcusable dear yank the Story about Primo Carnera by Dan polier was a charming human interest accompanied by a Nice family picture of his and his two it is a very Friendly the kind that would be written about any american boxing and it discloses these facts j Carnera went Back to Italy from America voluntarily to live happily under with the help of plenty of american 2 he himself is the first one to admit that he was not a helping to free his 3 that he was a Neutral in the whats that 4 that he respected by the Ger 5 that he was so respected by the germans that they hired him As an Over seer of italian workers at a mine near 6 that he made a propaganda movie Tor the together with Schmeling a notorious 7 that he and his wife spent a week end with of that he in turn invited Schmeling to spend a weekend with yank made no excuses for Primo Veteran problems dear yank i have served in the armed forces of this country for a period of three 25 months of which were spent at the present time i am enrolled at Pennsylvania state i enrolled in March of this and Only after writing to my congressman did i receive my monthly checks due the checks ceased to arrive for me at the end of and when i inquired As to the delay the veterans administration of informed me i was not entitled to further allowance until i had submitted proof of i had sent a letter to them when i enrolled at this stating that i did have a and that i needed that allowance for said during the three years i was in the armed forces there was no questioning the fact that i had a dependent i gave per and the government gave per month toward the support of the i went to see the veterans adviser at the from the Pitts Burgh and he was gone for the i went to a notary Public to have something made in Way of a state ment saying i had a dependent and he informed me it was out of his the Point is simply this there Are and what have playing up this i Bill of which is All taken in by the sweethearts and other relatives of the men in the but when we come out to collect the benefits under said we find a Host of Cigar smok dear yank the especially the married at the University of Minnesota Are faced with a critical housing neither the University nor the Legisla Ture of this state have made any pro vision for housing the and we feel that a step to ease this matter must be taken we also suggest that future veterans Contact the univer sity which they expect to attend and inquire into the housing situation if they would urge immediate action on housing they might be Able to secure adequate housing for the time when they Unive Nhy of Minnesota Peivie dear yank i have returned to College under the i Bill of i have read most of the yanks lately and Haven seen any letters from men who have returned to school giving out with the facts on this 50 dollars month so l have appointed myself a committee of one to Tell you what i know about last semester i attended the univer sity of this semester i transferred to Penn both colleges Are in typical Small towns where prices Are As cheap As but cheap As they Are the is not for at Penn double room which is the cheapest you can get costs a mini mum of a in four weeks that meals in a boarding House Cost a three meals a Day except sunday when there is no evening that adds up to for four therefore in anybody arithmetic it costs to eat and sleep for 28 All expenses such As toilet a dates and Beer come out of your own if besides the expenses mentioned you must be prepared to pay your own entire living expenses for the first six weeks or two it takes that Long for the veterans administration red tape to and get your subsistence when it you of by this will go on your record
