Thursday, March 30, 1944 Sunday-Monday, Main And No. 8 “Geometrically Perfect Beauty”—That’s the sincere compli ment paid to lovely Maureen O’Hara by Cameraman Leon Sham roy of "Buffalo Bill,” 20th Century-Fox new Technicolor produc tion in which Maureen is starred opposite Joel McCrea, who plays the title role. Shamroy explains that the term is used because Miss O’Hara has no bad camera angles. Combat Is Series Os Close Shaves (Continued .from Page 1) reached our lines." It was a'similar st»ry for his outfit in Sicily, Corrado says, starting with pill boxes on the beach, knocking out tanks, beat ing off counterattacks, and fight ing from town to town. The Germans, who had slowed up the Allies with hundreds of mines and booby traps in Africa, were now retreating faster, how ever, so that when Corrado s unit entered Enna they found large stores of ammunition which the Nazis had had no time to blow up His outfit was on its way to the coast on the 26th of July, preparing to attack once more, when Corrado became a casualty. East Armistice Day he was op erated on in the States for a wounded shoulder At present he is assigned to the overhead of D Company. "Shoot again," prompted the sad Salinetro, who plans to ask for overseas assignment again as soon as he can get it WHEN YOU GO OVER.... "When you go over,” Corrado said, "don’t carry too much un necessary stuff into combat You'll only have to throw away the writing paper and envelopes in the lines. Instead carry stuff of value like socks and toilet ar ticles and rations. Don’t under estimate the Germans—especial ly the young ones. They're a cocky, arrogant bunch with plenty of morale, all hopped up with propaganda. "In combat, don't dig your fox hole too close to anybody else. Scatter, so that one shell won't get everybody. Don’t tire on planes unless you have to—it gives away }/our position. As a matter of fact, if it’s possible, camouflage your foxhole so it can't be seen from the air.” "Rack ’em up," said Salinetro Nazi Academic Regiment Cut Up At Anzio "The proudest regiment in the German armed forces," in some respects the nearest Nazi equi valent to the Academic Regiment of The Infantry School, was smashed and cut to pieces at the Anzio beachhead in mid-Febru ary, it was recently revealed at Allied Headquarters at Naples Officially described as "an elite collection of technician special ists”, and called "an infantry demonstration regiment," its job was to teach new weapons to other units of the army. The reg iment was the controling force behind the "secret weapon”, the driverless tanks, which the Yanks blew up before they could reach the Allied lines. “We attacked just as we had attacked on the parade-ground at Doeberitzelgrund,” one of the prisoner-survivors of the outfit was quoted as saying by the AP, "but it was different here. It didn't work.” Topkick In Demand For Orientations Ist Sgt Francis Noonan. of D Company.
