Poor Man’s Philosopher Says
“Girls, Don't Hide Them Legs™
By HAL BOYLE
PENGILLY, MINN. — (AP)—
Peace f 8 important to the men in
Korea, But they are also worried
about what is happening to the
legs of American girls.
Is a new cloth curtain descend
ing over the main stems back
home they adore?
This query is raised in a letter
from Lieut. Tom Hamrick, writing
from “near that li’l old parallel”
in Korea. He is fretting over
reports that the Fench designer
Christian Dior, creator of the “new
look,” has again decreed that wo
men’'s skirts should go lower.
(Editor’s Note: Why doesn’t
Dior design circus tents if he hates
legs?) :
(Boyle's Note: Look, don’t argue
with me. We all agree. But let's
let Hamrick say it. He's over
there.)
(Editor’s Note: Okay. But I still
say if 50,000,000 Frenchmen can’t ’
be wrong—well, one can be.) '
(Boyle’s Note: How do you like |
them—slender like a pipe-cleaner |
or curvy like a fat rainbow-) |
(Editor’s Note: Oh, I just like
them. I'm a man of principle. give |
it back to Hamrick. What's he
say?) s
From Charleston
Well, Hamrick’s from Charles- |
ton, S. C., where “legs are more— .
much more—beautiful than moon- |
light over Magnolias.” he says: .
“Speaking for a lot of guys sit- |
ting around in a lot of holes, I'd |
like to say Christian Doir is about
as far off base an an alligator in
& conary cage.
“He may not realize it, but if‘
Disr gets his way with women’s
fashions he's going to be as po
pular ag Kim Il Sung (the North
Korean dictator) when the lads
come tearing off that ship at |
Frisco with their eyes banjoing
like Eddie Cantor’s. After Korea
they want*to see only two things.
Grandma used to say it was vulgar
to call them legs. J
“Demanding that women should !
lower their skirts and cover upl
two of their four finest posses
sions is, let me scream like Pat- |
rick Henry—nothing short of trea
.on‘n
(Editor’s Note: Excuse me for
fnterrupting. But where does he
get that figure four?)
“Boyle’s Note: It's simple— two
legs, two elbows. All Lieutenants'
are crazy about elbows. !
(Editor’s Note: How about their |
br~ins?) l
(Boyle’s - Note: He's talking
about women.)
(Editor’s Note: Excuse me. The
third race just came in. I was
thinging of horses.) ;
Arch Rogue i
Anyway, Lieut. Hamrick says
the guys in Korea are so steamed
up they will catalogue Dior along
with the “arch-rogues of all time
if his ‘cover them calves’ edict
comes to pass. ‘
“Back there in the ‘old country’ |
(as you know Gl's refer to the
homc! of the installment plan) this
gent ‘must have become overex
posed to Milady’s snazzy under
pinning. If he could arrange to
come to Korea, he would not only
change his mind but come dammed
close to losing it altoghter.
“Over here the women do things
in perfect reverse of America’s
most dreamed-about sex. They
cover their legs but let the fem
inine areas north of the naval get
all the sunshine and fresh air they
can absorb.
“The ladies wear somthing in

FORT MEADE, MD.—Pvt. Gene
Fujita refused to fight against the
United States—and ended up be
ing blasted by a U. S. atom bomb.
He was burned, and his father
was killed at Hiroshima.
But now, 21-year-old Gene, a
Japanese-American, is ready to
fight for Uncle Sam. He's a GI
here at a medical replacement
training center.
If young Gene hadn’t refused
to take up arms against the
United States in World War 11,
he might not have been in Hiro
shima that fateful Aug. 6, 1945,
the day the A-bomb blasted that
Japanese city .
Fujita’s story goes back to the
summer of 1940 when he and his
family took a vacation trip to
Japan. When the family tried to
get back to the U. S. in 1941,
they couldn’t get transportation.
So American-born Gene and his
family were trapped in Japan
when the war started. 3
They tried to make the best
of it and Gene entered a high
school in Japan. Then came
1944, when U. S. forces were
closing in on Nippon and B-29s
were blasting Japanese cities.
Gene was given the choice of
joining the Japanese army or
becoming a first aid specialist
to help out after bombing attacks
He refused td join the army
and so was assigned to a job in
a government factori at Hiro
shima with a side task as a first
aid man.
He said that some other
American-born Japanese boys

FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1951. Wy
were in the factory when the
A-bomb-carrying B-29 appeared
over Hiroshima. Ten of the boys,
including Gene, went on an i
raid shelter when the alarm
sounded, and just as Gene
closed the shelter - door theie
was a tremendous blast.
Gene was burned on the hangd
but after the raid he picked his
way through the blasted city
giving aid to the wounded.
He says the main avenue of
Hiroshima was so littered with
dead he could barely walk, but
he gave aid where he could from
his first aid pack.
Among the victims was his
father.
After the war, Fujita and his
mother, Mrs. Mary Fujita, made
their way back to the United
States, She now lives at 412 2|st

DISPLACED FARMERS
AVAILABLE
WASHINGTON— (AP)— Am
erican farmers with labor pro
blems can find a solution in the
skilled European farmers now
coming into this ecountry fram
countries under the Communist
yoke.
Rigidly tested by U. S. agricul
tural experts on their practical
farming experience, the displaced
farmers arc mostly of German
origin who were thrown off their
farms by Communists. They are
willing to start at the bottom as
American farm workers. The more
than 1,000 DP farming families
are dairymen, poultrymen, cattle
men, wheat and corn farmers,
truck farmers and hog raisers, for
the most part.
Pearsons interest in sponsoring
a displaced farmer may obtain
