The Texan's Share In
Winning World War 2
Texans would hav\e to see whut
their service men have seen to
really comprehend what the war
und Jap oppression lunve done
to the Philippines, reports Sgt.
Jack Johnson of Cold Spring.
"If 1 hadn't seen it, I couldn't
believe it," he wrote his par-
ents. "The Japs took all thu
food and burned the villages."
Appalled (by the desolation of
ihe country, Johnson and his
buddies were even more ap
palled at sight of the first Fili-
pinos who eluded the Japs and
made their way to the Ameri-
can lines.
"Most of them didn't have
clothes to cover their bodies,"
Sergeant Johnson wrote. "To*
children were hungry and weak
. . . Never hove I seen such
hungry kids. We had a few
ra ions and never have I been
so happy to do anything as I was
to give these people what we
had . . . But don't think for a
minute they, don't appreciate
what we do.
"I have seen the bravert men
in the world come down the
mourv ain, crying because the
Japs had bayoneted some one
near and dear to them.''
Neither wounds nor hardship
can make the American soldier
lose his sense of humor. Some
of his jokea are grim, (but be-
hind them lies the high courage
thot all Texans admire.
Several disabled Texas offi-
cers who returned from German
prison camps were talking from
experience in McCloskey. Gen-
eral Hospital at Temple. In the
circle sat IA F. A. Brumbelee,
^Midlothian; Lt. E. S. Proctor,
Port Arthur; Lt. Ralph Norsth-
worthy and Lt. Ernest Davis,
both of Dallas, and John Akers
of Greenville.
Under discussion were tho
books, sport equipment and
o her aids for combatting "barb-
ed wire sickness" in war pris-
oners which are furnished by
War Prisoners Aid. the Na-
tional War Fund agency to which
Texans contribute through their
county war chests,
"Without them," said Lt.
Brumbeloe, who shot down
over Bremen, "there's nothing
I® <io except 3it and stare at
each other and talk until „ you
iiate everybody. After a while
you gei to just chewing your
finger nails.
"■I'll say you do," agreed Lt.
L. E. Hearn of Tulsa, Okla..,
who sat with the Texans. "Look
how I chewed mine."
Amid laughter, he held up
lii.s left arm, off at the elbow.
Actually, Hearn lost his arm
in the action in which he was
captured .in the ^Vosges moun.
tains of France.
Texas gallantry has another
long list of decorations to ita
credit this week. Among others
