IT’S A PIPE TO BEAT THE SHORTAGE IN CIGARETTES
LEAVES FROM A WAR
CORRESPONDENTS NOTEBOOK
■ - by Hal Boyle ——
HAPPY DAYS—Josephine, chimpanzee at the Broadmoor
Cheyenne Zoo, Colorado Springs, Colo., enjoys a drag on a
fag supplied by her keepers. This was BCS (Before Cigarette
Shortage) and Josephine didn't know how well off she was.
DEPRESSION—Then came the dark days when for some rea-
son keepers kept all their butts for themselves. Josephine was
reduced to mooching but most visitors left her empty-handed.
Josephine became nervous, irritable and despondent.
Enlisted Men at Camp Promoted
NEW DEAL-Josephine is happy again, puffing on her own
private corncob. Keepers say the pipe is strictly a compromise
and that Josephine (like many another briar user) will drop
it in a flash if shown any kind of a cigarette.

IN GERMANY——The famous
First Infantry division's new com-
mander is a pipe-smoking, coffee-
drinking, chess-playing former ar-
tilleryman with one chief battle
fetish—complete cooperation be-
tween doughboys and the men who
back them up with the big guns.
Kansas-born Maj. Gen. Clift
Andrus is the third man to
lead the “Red One” division
since it landed in North Africa
in the fall of 1M2. He knows
the value of infantry and ar-
tillery teamwork. Before be-
coming commander he served as
the division's artillery general
in all of its world war two cam-
paigns — in Tunisia. Sicily,
France, Belgium and Ger-
many.
At 54 he is perhaps the army's
most experienced artilleryman and
some military critics have rated his
First division artillery the finest
under the American flag. He com-
manded the 24th division artillery
at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese
attacked His unit was the first to
roll. Within 35 minutes after the
first bomb dropped, hi* artillery was
emplaced ready to defend the
beaches.
Andrus is friendly and approach-
able-the kind of an officer an en-
listed man can talk to without self-
consciousness. He is a man of aver-
age height with graying, sandy
hair, gray eyes and a small mous-
tache-a Mister Chips" in uni-
form.
Every man long in the First di-
vision to familiar with Andrus and
his jeep which he rides daily about
the frontline positions.
"Once in Africa he took off Ills
raincoat and gave it to a soldier
who needed one badly,” said Pic.
Lawrence Herman, 23, of Allentown,
a military policeman who helps
guard the division command post,
adding:
"It was raining like hell that
day, too. Bat I bet you the gen-
eral doesn't even remember giv-
ing him the coat. He's that kind
of a guy. I don’t know anyone
that doesn’t like him.”
Andrus keeps a farmer's hours,
getting up with the sun. He likes
to chat, likes to work, keeps his
pipe lit almost constantly, and
drinks st least s dozen cups of cof-
fee s day. When he thinks he hsi
been smoking too much he slows up
by "rolling his own.” He smokes
10-cent pipe tobacco His military
beliefs are simple and direct:
• * *
1. That the only way to whip the
Germans is to sock them hard, get
them on the run and never allow
them time to rest, or time to dig
in.
2. That the American dough-
boy is a better man and a bet-
ter fighter than the German
infantryman.
3. That you use less ammunition
in the long run and kill more Ger-
mans by massed artillery fire when
targets are available.
No division has had greater suc-
cess with mobile masses of artillery
than the First infantry under An-
drus. Typical was the speed with
which his gunners broke up a Ger
man counterattack northeast of
Aachen. The Nazis struck by night,
trying for * surprise, but exactly
six minutes after they were sight-
ed Andrus’ artillery was plastering
them with N guns—eight full bat-
tauoru The counterattack broke up
immediately.
Andrus has had phenomenal suc-
cess with the 105 mm. guns but his
favorite field piece is the new 155
mm, howitzer because It can “plunk
them into a rain barrel."
