HE'S LONESOME, TOO
General's Life Far
From Being Rosy
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. ( — It is always
lonelier on a mountain peak than
in a valley.
It’s that way with military life,
too. Generals are lonelier than
lieutenants.
To the ordinary private, who has
so many bosses he sometimes feels
like a hare surrounded by a high
picket fence, the life of a general
looks like one long dream of luxur-
iant liberty.
“Nobody can tell the general
what to do," the low man on the
Army totem pole tells himself en-
viously. "He can go where he
wants to when he wants to. He
can bunk down when he wants to
and get up when he wants to. He
don't have to walk in the mud-
he can fly over it in his own
plane.
PRIVATE’S VIEW
"He can get what he wants to
eat and all the liquor he wants to
drink. He sleeps between sheets.
He don’t have to polish his own
boots. He's got a high-class batboy
to do all his dog-robbing errands,
too. Man. how do they ever get
jobs like that?”
And, of course, the average pri-
vate envies the privilege which leg-
end accords, to most generals —
the privilege of dying in. bed in-
stead of upon the battlefield.
The general, however, sees his
own life in no such light. He feels
he is hedged about by almost as
many rules as the private, and of-
ten he rather yearns to have the
private's sense of freedom when
duties are done.
For there is no such thing as
complete freedom for a general.
He is held down by orders from
those above him. and he is re-
stricted in many ways by the opin-
ions of those under his own com-
mand.
“I can’t afford to let myself wor-
ry too much whether my officers
and men like me or hate me," a
general told me once. "But I do
have to be sure they respect me—
and that they will carry out my
orders."
Being boss means having less
plain ordinary human fun. When
they throw a party on an Army
post, the commanding general and
his lady arrive early — and they
leave early. They can’t hang around
and let down their hair with the
lower-rank lads and their lassies.
It wouldn’t do. Authority must re-
main upright — and keep its dis-
tance.
"It isn’t caste snobbery," one
general’s wife explained. "The gen-
eral can’t mix too freely in social
life for fear the idea will get
around that he’s playing favorites.
That wrecks morale.”
In battle areas the general is
really lonely. His companionship is
even more limited. He cannot share
his responsibility and there is no
vacation from it. He rarely feels
emotionally the death in battle of
individual men under him. If he
did. he couldn’t stand the tension
of being a general.
Ordering other men to their
deaths must by the nature of its
task be a lonely job to men who
live on the highest peak of deci-
sion. That is why, probably, the
only person who can really under-
stand a general is — another gen-
eral.

50,000 Miles-No Wear!"Proved Here:
After a 50,000-mile test in blistering heat along w
the Mexican Border, with proper crankcase a
drains and regular care, engines lubricated B
with new Conoco Super Motor Oil showed no
wear of any consequence: in fact, an average of
less than one one-thousandth inch on cylin- /
ders and crankshafts,
AND gasoline mileage for the last 5,000 /
miles was actually 99.77% as good as for the 1
first 5,000! This test proved that new Conoco k
Super Motor Oil with O1L-Plating, can make
your car last longer, perform better, use less •
