Red Tape Makes GIs See Me
d
FRANKFURT, Germany
(UPI) The American GI's
biggest gripe used to be KP
"kitchen police." But in to
day's modern nuclear Army,
it's often the paper work and
red tape that has the troops
climbing up the proverbial
walls.
There's an old saying, "An
Army couldn't travel an inch
without a mile of paperwork,"
and not many American sol
diers in Europe would quarrel
much with that.
If a GI in Germany tries to
register his car, wants to get
married, applies for a security
clearance or requests a trans
fer out of his unit, he runs up
against a storm of bureaucrat
ic red tape. .
The Army is so efficient, it
even has forms to requisition
forms! .
At the U.S. Army in Eur
ope's (USAREUR's) massive
printing plant just outside
Frankfurt, they turn out 100
tons of printed forms every
month-twice as much weight
as an M60 tank or enough to
reach around the world more
than three times if laid end to
eA' GI in Germany will soon
need a briefcase to carry all
the cards he has been isued.
LOADED WALLET
"'ake for example SP.5
James McWhinney, a supply
sergeant stationed at Fuwa,
Germany. He has to carry the
following in his wallet at all
tlT weapon card, meal card,
social security card, Soviet ve
hicle recognition card, ruv
(privately owned vehicle) li
cense, military license, Code of
Conduct card, Class A pass,
Geneva Convention card, ra
tion card, Soviet military liai
son mission card, Status of
Forces card and a re-enlistment
card which states, "Your
Country Needs You."
A GI vho loses his wallet is
in trouble. He might as well
pack his bags for the long trip
back home because his enlist
ment would probably be up by
the time he got them all replaced.

RAWLINGS, Wyo. (UPI)
Rancher Bill McKee swears up
and down that Speedy Gon
zales, the most famous Brah
ma bull ever on the nation's
rodeo circuit, was what he
calls "plum gentle."
But McKee, who owns a
ranch in southern Wyoming
near Rawlings and who owned
Speedy, says the bull just kind
of went crazy in the rodeo
arena.
Speedy was nine years old
when he had to be destroyed
recently after he caught dust
pneumonia on the pasture.
At age two, Speedy began a
rodeo career that was fantas
tic by an standard.
A good rodeo bull, according
to most cowpokes, is one that
can make it through a single
season without being ridden
the required eight seconds.
In his seven years of rodeo
ing, Speedy Gonzales was
boarded 247 times . . : but only
briefly. Nary a cowboy over
the years was able to stay on
his pitching, twisting back the
required eight seconds.
PART ANGUS
Actually, Speedy wasn't a
pure Brahma. He had a little
Angus blood in him. This may
have had something to do with
his unusual arena acrobatics.
Last year, alone, five of the
top 15 bull riders in the nation
drew Speedy for their rides.
They all ended up in the arena
dust, including Larry Mahan,
a former national champion
and one of the best in the busi
ness. Bull riding always is the
most popular event in any
rodeo, thanks to such perform
ers as Speedy and the most
dangerous.
The bull rider uses a rope
looped around the animal's
middle. It is held around the
bull by the strong grip of one
of the cowboy's hands.
This is the only hold he is
allowed. The other arm must
be free.
A bull rider's greatest fear
is being bucked off away from
the riding hand. Sometimes
the rope wrapped around his
hand doesn't release, and the
cowboy is tied to the bull.
J
The cowboys say a rider in
such a predicament looks like
"a rag doll tied to a mad
dog" u A
A brave man is unashamed
ly sfraiH nf the Brahma s
horns. The
Fl
breed usually
throws his head about when
bucking in the arena. And if
a horn catches a man just
right, it can be fatal.
A good share of the nation s
best cowboys took their nicks
on Speedy.
