PORT MORESBY, PAPUA NEW GUINEA
(AP)—Delayed, as they used to write at the
top of dispatches in the days when news came by
ship or the cable office was several days away
through the jungle. *
What you are about to read is a Memorial Day
story that came to me weeks ago when I was ■
flying over the jungles of New Guinea, but since
its about death and memories and unknown
soldiers in unmarked graves known only to their
God, the timing is timeless.
We were flying up over those three-mile high
mountains to Medang on the Bismarck Sea,
when the co-pilot obliglingly wedged open the
carge door so a group of Japanese ladies and a
few old men could drop flowers and bags of rice
out over the jungles and, as we made the turn for
pur approach, into the sparkling blue sea.
“Many sunken ships, hundreds of shot-down
planes down there and many dead still in the
caves,” the Japanese businessman seated
across the aisle from me whispered. A few pas-
sengers — Americans, sad to say — who didn’t
understand what was happening complained
about the wind rushing through the cabin, but a
tall British woman stood in the aisle and began to
sing in a frail, reedy voice:
“What though the shadows fall, naught shall I
fear,
When darkest night seems nigh, morning is
near....”
Others, including one of the American ladies
who had grumbled, picked up the hymn, until the
now weeping Japanese women by the open door-
way seemed to be wrapped in the rising, haun-
ting refrain, “Nearer my God to thee.”
On Memorial Day many American marines
and infantrymen who fought in the Pacific may
remember parachutists shot in the skies, bud-
dies bayonetted after capture by the Japanese,
the horrors of the Bataan death march and
prison camps where tortured victims perished
with placards reading, “It took them a long time
to die.”
But war is a beastly, barbarous business on
both sides. Off New Guinea in the early days of
“ 1943, the U.S. Fifth Air Force caught a convoy of
Japanese transports that had left Rabaul with
6,400 troops. A dozen B-25's, each fitted with
eight .50 caliber machine guns in the nose,
swooped low and sprayed the troops crowded on
the open decks, while delayed action bombs tum-
bled down from masthead level. All eight and
their escort destroyers went down, then the B-
25’s made a final pass to strafe the survivors in
the rafts and lifeboats, sending them to the bot-
tom of the same ocean that had received the five
Sullivan brothers.
“It was a grizly task,” wrote Adm. Samuel
Eliot Morisen, the naval historian, “but a mili-
tary necessity since Japanese soldiers do not
surrender and, within swimming distance of
shore, they could not have been allowed to land
and join the Lae garrison. Several hundred
swam shore, and for a month there was open
season on Nips in Papua; the natives had the
time of their lives tracking them down as in the
old head hunting days.”
Military necessity has its reasons, but on
Memorial Day one remembers in sorrow the
Psalmist’s line: “The heart, too, hath its '
reasons.”

initially, the 101st was
sent to Europe to lead the
way for the Normandy inva-
sion. As paratroops, the divi-
sion members were dropped
over the French beaches in
the dead of night to soften
Nazi resistance. That done,
they rolled overland with
other forces as part of what
was to be a final offensive
against Germany.
The offensive bogged
down, however, when Ger-
man armies launched an
attack of their own in the
Ardenne Forest. Striking
swiftly against surprised
Americans, the Wehrmacht
rushed into Luxembourg
and Belgium. This was the
Battle of the Bulge. The
Germans desperately
wanted to break through to
reach the vital seaports of
Antwerp.
The situation has since
been recounted many times,
in books and cinema. If D
Day was the turning point of
the war in Europe, the Bat-
tle of the Bulge rescued the
initiative. Historians believe
a German victory in Bel-
gium would likely have pro-
longed the war and cost the
Allies dearly in terms of
additional casualties
Much of the drama of the
time took place in the vicin-
ity of a town called Bas-
togne, where seven German
Panzer Divisions sur-
rounded members of the
101st Airborne Division. The
latter were under siege for a
month The weather was
bitter, supplies were gone;
and still the 101 refused to
step out of the way.
The divisional spirit was
immortalized in a four-letter
word. When German offi-
cers approached the Ameri-
cans to sue for surrender,
they received an inspired
reply: Gen. Anthony McAu-
liffe, acting commander of
the 101st, told the Germans
“nuts." The division held
out, and the first major
‘ehrmacht offensive was
crushed.
The 101 lost 420 men dur-
ing that historic confronta-
tion. Later on, during seven
frustrating years in Viet-
nam, it was to lose hundreds
more. Early this decade,
then, members of the divi-
sion decided to build a
Screaming Eagle monument
to honor the dead, and also
the survivors, who had given
so much to the unit.

cers said only Congress

unenthusiastic about the 1*1

WASHINGTON iNEA) -
This is a story that happened
one year ago And yet it is
still news, in a sense, be-
cause it has not-been widely
told. It's the story at how,
last Memorial Day, the na-
• tion turned its back on hun-
dreds at thousands of sol-
diers. living and dead, who
have served in the 101st
Airborne Division
The division should need
scant introduction It has
been fighting America's bat-
tles with distinction for
nearly four decades It's an
air assault outfit, bynamed
"The Screaming Eagles."
and it has carried the Ameri-
can flag from the frozen
foxholes of World War II to
the steaming chaparral of
Vietnam
The division was formed
in 1942, somewhat late, actu-
ally, in the war against Hit-
ler. For all its tardy begin-
ning. however, it was to play
a major if not epical role in
the European theater It was
in fact to emerge from that
combat as the best recog-
nized and perhapsmost pub-
_ licized military unit in the
world.
