Sunday, April 19, 1342 SUNDAY. TRIBUNE AND STAR JOURNAL PAGE 2 Duluth Harbor Guard Troops Leave for Ripley SORE FEET Corporal (ftp, corral Now) Grim Gets Occupational Disease ill CV. 1 By CORP. GEORGE RDI Former Radio Director, Sunday Tribune and Star Journal CAMP JOSEPH T. ROBINSON, ARK There's one thing you don't want in the army foot trouble.

You can have almost everything else happen to you and it's not so bad. But a foot on the blink I've just spent a week with the great burden. It seems my right foot decided to become Infected; that blisters decided to sprout I State Legion to Be Asked for 'No' Vote Admission for Present War Soldiers to Be Discussed National Committeeman Mike Murray, St Cloud, will seek a negative vote today when the state American Legion executive committee meets here to consider whether soldiers of this war should be admitted to membership. Decision of the committee in its session at Dyckman hotel will guide Murray in his vote on the question at meeting of national executive committee in Indianapolis, April 30. Murray explained why he favored retention of present status of Legion eligibility.

"We have had organizations which have admitted veterans of various wars, and that very fact has robbed them of their distinct character," he said. "When we returned at the close of the last war we were not Invited to join the United Spanish War veterans. Neither were we asked to become affiliated with the Grand Army of the Republic And we had more respect for both organizations because they did not do so." 'AY 4 happen. You just don't appear before a general looking like someone who had slept in a barn all night The foot trouble went on. Lt.

Col. Quigley (from Minneapolis) was very solicitous. Captain Hogan at the infirmary became Major Hogan. Everything seem-ed to move along except that FOOT! I was walking about now, but I couldn't drill. I can't yet.

I have to sort of sneak out of formation just before drill. Tomorrow 1 go back into the line. The foot's well enough. I can look any sergeant in the eye. I don't have the endless formality of the sick book.

I don't have to explain a limp. I'm convinced of one thing: If you're going to get sick in the army, get something violent like smallpox or flattening, like the flu. Don't get a bum foot. Those sergeants just won't b-lieve you! Minnesota state guard troops waved goodbye Saturday as they left for Camp Ripley to train for harbor guard duty at Duluth. This contingent of 74, under Lt.

Herbert L. Bence, is but part of the unit of nearly 400 to be mobilized from the state, including four rifle companies, a medical detachment, a machine gun platoon, and a headquarters Each man will receive $75 a month.

In addition, sentence on addi tional counts was suspended and the defendants put on probation until Oct. 17, 1942. The action followed capitulation of the defendants who. had previously pleaded not guilty to an information filed in St Paul Federal court by Earl Larson, assistant U. S.

attorney, which charged the firm had employed oppressive child labor, failed to pay the minimum wage and failed to pay time and one-half for overtime work. Employes had worked as high as 80 hours a week, and in some in stances their wages averaged as low as 15 cents an hour. Boys and girls under 16 had been employed in the poultry slaughtering estab lishments, investigators learned. Such employment frequently inter fered with their schooling, but it was done to increase the piecework production and earnings of their parents. MILLIKAN TO TALK Dr.

The death brougth Minneapolis' 1942 traffic toll to 15 compared with 18 deaths at this time last year, sion have been looking for a Herman Johnson of Kasota for more than a year.

Saturday he testified an analysis of the syrup showed IT WAS CORN SYRUP. WATER AND MAPLE FLAVOR, WORTH LESS THAN 10 CENTS A QUART. He told the court Johnson has been sought for a long time for working just such a racket, and that he maintains a Kasota mailing address. And he WARNED THE PUBLIC TO WATCH OUT FOR ANYONE SELLING UNLABELED MAPLE SYRUP, especially if he has a southern accent. Johnson has a yen for hiring salesmen with south ern accents, he said, POSSIBLY BECAUSE IT SOUNDS SWEETER.

Anyone spotting such a deal, Kyle asked, please call the dairy and food division. Meanwhile he told the court Lashua was nothing but a tool for Johnson. Lashua got a straight 10-day sentence anyway. Two "definite" don'ts in case of an air raid were given Saturday night by Lt. Col.

Theodore A. Oberlander, chief of the blackout section naa io go 10 me innrmary. Ana that's how the troubles started. In the army, everybody does about the same thing at the same time. When you don't fall out for drill, you feel as lost as a man at a dance without a date.

Everybody is drilling, shouting "Hut! Hoo! Hree! Four," and you're limping someplace just within earshot. When the foot became unmanageable, I tried to find out how you went into drydock. "Sign the sick book," said somebody and scooted away. Where the sick book was or what happened when you signed it, I couldn't discover until I was given a lift by Corporal Carroll, who used to work for the Minnesota Amusement company. He produced a long leather book and started to ask questions, filling in a long sheet You take the sick book to the Infirmary.

My foot wouldn't work, so I borrowed a G.I. (gov-ernment issue) bicycle and sped to infirmary (On the way I was given fishy looks by sergeants who thought I was goldbricking faking a bad foot to escape drill. But I got by them, and to the infirmary.) They really take care of your health in the army. The two doctors, one a lieutenant, the other a captain, conferred, and said I ought to be off the foot. After some persuading, I wasn't sent to the hospital, but quartered.

Not DRAWN and quartered, just slapped into my tent with instructions to fill a bucket with hot water, plunge my foot into it and leave it there. Which was- done. At intervals, the tent door have framework half way up, canvas the rest of the way) would swing open, a voice would say: "Hey, whatyoudoinbed?" That went on for days. Every morning the sick book. The rest of the day, the bucket of hot water, the tent door bursting open, the sergeants demanding explanation.

Except one afternoon. I was asleep the foot in the bucket of rapidly cooling water. A tent mate shook me: "Hey, the General wants to hear the army day recordings." "Who?" I sleepily managed to ask. "The General." Frank shook me and caused me to understand that the camp's commanding general wanted me there in his office at once. I hadn't shaved.

I was rumpled from sleeping with the foot In the Ducket. As I jumped up, the bucket flew, flooded my corner of the tent. When the General calls, you answer BUT QUICK! So I arrived in his office with one shoe, one slipper no shave hair like a frightened porcupine. And I stood for a half hour in front of him while the transcriptions of our army day program went round and round. THE GENERAL LOOK-ED AT ME VERY CAREFULLY AND, I THOUGHT, VERY CRITICALLY.

When the records had finished and the general left his office, I apologized to his aide. I'm still expecting something terrible to Mr. Malcolm Heywood, who for WKX I Th the the in with of Minnesota civilian defense in a First was "don't fill your bath tub with water on an alert signal, but wait until bombs start falling in your neighborhood. "You can well imagine what would happen if all the people in the Twin Cities immediately ran to their bathtubs and filled them with water, and somewhere in the city fires were raging," he said. The second "don't" was-nlo not shut off your gas.

in the basement until bombs start falling in your vicinity. It might be some time before you obtain service if you were to shut off the gas on an alert signal," Colonel Oberlander added. City Defense Muster Set The Minneapolis Defense Council Saturday set Sunday, May 17, as "Mobilization" day for all units un der the council in the city.
