TBtBtSPAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 29, 1951 ~ They're All GI On Top, But A Woman Underneath FORT LEE, Va. 4W Their uniforms are strictly Os. but under neath the khaki those Wac’s are strictly women. An unofficial survey at the Wom ens’ Army Corps Training Center turned up plenty of fancy lingerie # among the GI Jills, r The girls will tell you at the snap of a garter that this is perfectly natural. ‘"When you can’t be feminine on top, you’ve got to be more so un derneath,’’ said Pvt. Anne Con taldl of Bayonne, N.

The corps originally issued tall {ored, non-feminine undies, fre quently In shades of the all-too familiar khaki. “Something like the floursack scan ties farmers’ daugh ters used to wear,” observed one lissome buck sergeant. CAN BUY THEIR OWN But. as Lt. Marion Trow of Camp Douglas, Wis., put it, “There’s nothing so permanent in the army as change.” And top brass changed | regulations to allow Wacs to buy : their own next-to-the-skin wear. I A recruit arriving at Fort Lee only WAC training center in the country-is issued everything from nylons to field boots, but no below the-surface garments. On these she gets her choice, and clerks at the post exchange and stores in nearby Petersburg say they are hard put to keep enough black lace in stock., It comes as a shock to see dabs of filmy pink hanging out to dry | among khaki slacks and shirts, and misty blue negligees draped over barracks bunks, but the girl sol diers figure it’s none of Uncla Sam’s business what they wear where it doesn’t show. But on the whole, this woman’s army is not so different from the male organization. RUSH AND WAIT Pvt. Dora Jane Clemens of Phila delphia, in her first week of re cruit training, came out with the typical complaint: “We’ve waited in line for everything since we first got here. And they keep' rush ing us on to get in another line.” M-Sgt. Margaret Allen of North Wllkesboro, N. C., a veteran of eight years service, three of them overseas, bawled out her platoon of recruits with as typical a master sergeant manner as ever you’ve seen. The voice was an octave or so higher, but Wallace Beery him self couldn't have gotten the idea across better. The essential technlique of “Gl ing” a cigaret was proudly demon strated by Pvt. Carolyn Fortner of Kannapolis, N. C. Her long, oare fuiiy manicured fingernails dis persed the tobacco, and she tucked - the balled up paper down in her shoe, so there'd be no sign of a butt on the ground for the clean-up squad to worry about.

Wounded Gls Like Gals, Music, But Prefer Home WASHINGTON —Of)— The woun ded boys in Korea like songs and pretty girls, but their first thoughts are of the folks back home. Dory Claire, a blonde bombshell from Brooklyn, told me about the two months she spent close to the front lines while on tour with a troupe of entertainers. “For the first time," she said, “I* realised we were in a stinking, miserable and killing war but that lt hasn’t got our boys down. Their spirit is wonderful."

Dory, now on location at a local hotel, has a favorite song which she sings very well “l’m in the M"~* for Love." Truman Largest Tax Collector In AIL History WASHINGTON (IB The cham ber of Commerce of the United States said today that President Truman has collected more tax money from the American people than all other Presidents combin ed. It added that the Truman ad ministration has spent more than . one-third of all the funds ever ex pended by the U. S. government. The chamber’s figures were bas ed on a study by its government economy group. In the tax field, it said that fed- But the Korean wounded vets, j she said, were “in no mood for | anything but a good laugh. We' tried to give it to them.” THEY JUST BLUSHED “We thought we would show I them a little cheese-cake by baring | our legs," she recalled. “AH they did was blush like hell and ask for a song and clap like hell when we sang it.” | The troupe was handicapped in the tent shows but gave their all anyway. There was no piano, only a guitar, and half the cast often was out of tune because nasty wea ther threw the guitar off-key. One number the boys liked was that reckless mountain tune about the "Martins and the Coys.” “When we came to where it says “The Martins and the Coys, they were reckless mountain boys and their shootin' and their feudin' sure played hob,’ we'd shoot off a cap pistol,” Dory recalled. “It was a little feeble and hardly heard against the awful backdrop of the Red enemy fire.” The group spent a lot of time around Pusan, living no better than the troops. . TOOK BATH FROM HELMET "Many’s the afternoon I bor rowed a tin helmet from a GI, filled it with water and ducked into the woods for a long-delayed bath,” she said. “I was lucky. Those poor kids in the hospitals and. emergency tents didn’t get a bath very often. “But they didn’t care much a bout being dirty. .They were worry ing more about the folks.” Dory was so worked up by her experiences that she begged off hes job and spent almost a month in Brooklyn making the rounds of par ents and sweethearts of boys sb» met »“erseas. eral receipts from July I, 1945 through Nov. 16 totaled slightly more than $262,000,000,000. as com pared with $254,0000,000,000 from 1890 to June 30. 1945.
