WITH THE AEF: The Yanks Highball The Freight BY A. I. GOLDBERG (Substituting for Kenneth L. Dixon) AVIGNON, France—<A>>—Avignon is only a bystop these days on the network of railways not operated throughout France by the U. S. Army’s military railway service and French railway workers. Mili tary security clftaks how much is being carried on how many trains, but from a third to a half of France is being supplied through Marseil les on a network of lines to the north, west and east. All along the lines you see Amer ican railroaders rebuilding bridges, restoring yards, laying track and ballast and moving food, ammuni tion and other supplies to the fight ing fronts and civil centers. Here at Avignon, a company of the 727th Railway Operating Bat talion commanded by Capt. James Beard of Vinton, Va., former Sou thern Railway construction execu tive, is typical of many units scat tered along several thousand miles of tracks in southwestern France. Most railroaders along the Lyon Marseilles stretch have been over seas upwards of 28 months with stops at Casablanca, Sicily and in Italy. Some outfits were brought over as units, but there have been a number of replacements as the work increased. Casualties have been light. This outfit has railroaders from all over. A track maintenance gang in the yards included Sgt. Harold Lollar, Atchison, Kas., who used to be a section foreman for the Mis souri Pacific; Cpl. August Car mon of Davy, W. Va. and the Nor folk and Western; Cpl. Durille Nel son, Amstown, Ky. Ex-foreman of the Southern; Pfc. Clifford Sonder, Mansfield, Ohio, and the Erie Rail road; Pvt. John Hrusko of Spring boro, Pa. and the Bessemer and Lake Erie. Hrusko has been overseas 27 months and says “I’m doing the same kind of work I did back home but at least that was home and I’d sure like to be hack there.” Others in gangs on duty, around fires, or just resting were Pfc Stan ley Andruski Milwaukee, Wis.; Pfc Kenneth Dittmar Niles, Mich; Pvt. Paul Allard, Skiatook, Okla.; Pfc Vincent Boland, Rapid City, N. D.; Pvt. Ferlin Kinman, Winslow, Ind; Cpl. Arthur Langhorst, Barnum, Minn.; Cpl. Harold Fetzer, Del phos, Ohio. Lt. Col. Charles Sanderson, Au gusta, Ga., former Atlantic Coast Line executive, in in charge of this area where the 1051st Port Construction Engineers, assisted by elements of the 360th General Ser vice Engineer regiment also are operating. The Germans left bridges blown and trackage torn up all along the path of their retreat, but the rail * ways service accomplished repairs with amazing speed. One of their principal jobs was to throw a 2, 000-foot bridge across a raging, flooded river using captured Ger man ihaterj al. The engineers not only have to rebuild spans, but clear tunnels, including one more than six miles long and another a mile and a half long. Conbination steam and diesel hauling is used on the French rail network. The French employes swung right into their jobs and did marvelous work, most Army of ficers agreed, though they lacked warm clothing and good food in the bitter winter just past. Lt. Col. Fred Okie, Birmingham, Ala., former division superinten dent of the Southern Railway now commanding the 704th Railway Grand Division, said the French worker*’ operating record ifid mo rale had been good. Military railways have operated within a mile of the battle front, but average generally about divi sion depth or six miles or so back -V JUST ASK THE BANKER BOSTON, March 8. —oi.R)— An OPA announcement that racks of poker chips are exempted from price control brought this remark • , gcyjs.K from a seasoned pi aye*.
