Stevenson organized and ran the whole vast Rea Cross set up in England when we were there last year. He started from scratch and built up the now immense red Cress system in Africa. And where a Ever the american Amy goes next a few months id the states. He graduated from Princeton in 1922. Then he went on to Oxford As a Rhodes scholar and studied Law for three years at the famous English University. He likes and understands the English but he did no to go British and adopt an Oxford accent. In school he was athletic. He was american Champion of the 0�?------, 440-Yard dash in 1921, and took.

Once we get rid of military opposition not Only m Sicily but my Over Europe we have the people with  a a americans always get along with civilians in occupied countries said Cpl. John Eshleman of Forti Tond Oregon. They be done too much starving As it is and when the gigs began handing out the chocolate and cigarettes  be hanging on our necks no matter what Mussolini a been telling  pfc Patsy Pola Wilmington Cal. Whose parents both were bom in Italy is anxious to get across to the new combat zone. Pola Oran Datebook american red Cross army in Africa depends in Nis decisions. His employ pro run veto thousands. He spends millions of dollars a year. The daily headaches though less important Are As numerous As Gen. Eisenhower a. He has to be a Pioneer business Man Diplomat Dean of women military expert and Wheeler of Small favors All in one. Smart and honest yet until a year and a half ago he had never dreamed of organizing anything bigger than a committee meeting and had never thought twice about the institution known As the red Cross. Stevenson has been successful because lie is smart and because he is honest in the deepest meaning of the word. He has no sideline ambitions and no axes to grind. He wants nothing for his future out of the red Cross nor out of the army nor out of Africa or England v Italy or anywhere else. He is simply serving for the duration and serving with his whole being. When it s All Over he will go Back to take up where he left off which was head of the outstanding Young Law firm in new York City. Stevenson is a tall handsome athletic Man who looks ten years out of College instead of nearly 20. He looks what he is a successful Young professional Man. He is a ministers son but did t fellow either of the paths taken by so Many ministers sons. He neither turned pious nor went to the dogs. He wound up to be a perfectly Normal Well balanced Young fellow humorous and capable. Young Bill was born in Chicago but due to his fathers changes of pastorate he lived also in new York Baltimore and Princeton. Bill s father wound up As president of the Princeton theological Seminary and so it was Princeton were Bill went to school after prepping at Andover. It amuses him that he was recently while far away overseas and in no position to assume his duties elected a trustee of Andover which he left 25 years ago. Stevenson is now 42 years old. He was just old enough to get into the Marine corps at the Tail end of the last War and served there is one strange record that he is proud of. In 1921 he won the Quarter mile for team of Princeton comely against Oxford Cam Bridge. And then he went abroad and in 1925 won the Quarter Muse for the team of Oxford Bainbridge against Princeton Corneli. That a what is known in sync circles As working on both sides of the Ocean. In 1926 Stevenson returned to new York and went to work. His first Job was As assistant to District attorney Buckner in new York. Bill went into the prohibition Branch because it paid 1009 dollars a year More and be needed the thousand to get married Cju no drinking Buckner practice what he enforced about prohibition and insisted that his men do likewise. As a result the Stevenson could not even drink Champaigne at their own wedding. Mrs. Stevenson still thinks it was an outrage. A Little of prohibition work goes a Long Way so before Long Stevenson went into the Law firm of John w. Davis and stayed there until 1931, when he formed his own partnership with Eli Whitney Debevoise. They were successful from the beginning. They have had As High As 21 lawyers on their staff. Our Entrance into the War a Light Bill Stevenson in that same shadowy borderline stage of life that it caught me. He was too old for combat duty and too Young not to want to have a Finger in the pie. He did t know what to do. He could have gone to Washington and donned a Soldier suit with leaves on his shoulders and sat at a Nice desk but that somehow seemed ridiculous to him. He waited and looked around and after awhile heard that the red Cross needed a Man to go to England. He knew nothing of the red Cross but thought his Law experience and his three years in England. Might come in Handy. And it was a Chance to get across the water and into the heart of things. He got the Job and Here he is. Even better than Ever a new world about the invasion he thinks hell have a person 1 advantage if he does get aci\._, to Sicily. Esp cd by when it comes to get ing Ace. Tinted with the Signorina after the immediate combat task is accomplished. Next to being m on the sicilian a show Reading about it in the stars and stripes was the next Best thing according to Wallace Barnhart of new Orleans. Barnhart is a merchant Seaman and thinks the stars and stripes correspondents have handled the Eye witness stories in a bang up manner. Barnhart has a brother in the paratroops who Quot might have been in on the invasion. Just in Case he has a whole file of firsthand stories on paratroop activity during the operations clipped from the paper. This is his chief St Venir for the folks Back Home from this african voyage. To 3-c Louis Sherbecoe who was a Stock broker in Meridian conn., before he joined the Navy is looking Forward to Selling securities in Sicily some Day. He feels that the whole european phase of the War might be Over in six months and. Is of the opinion that italians in general will be More pro american than Ever after the War. Pro american enough anyway to want to invest whatever Money they live lying around in United states securities. Fireman first class Eddie Dailey Providence r.
