A short time ago it was our priv-
ilege to print a publication called
“The Black Cat," sponsored by the
Public Relations Department of the
13th Armored Division while located
at Camp Bowie, Brown wood. Pub-
lishing this paper brought us in
dose contact with a number of the
boys at the camp and particularly
with Sgt, Joe Lepo, the editor, a
swell nice looking and brilliant Yu-
goslavian; Capt. Robert Daly, as-
sociate editor of Time Magazine in
civilian life, and Marty “the Duke
from Brooklyn” as he was affec
tionately called by the D-V staff, a
Jewish bo* Lorn the Bronx who
made sports reporting his hobby on
a New York paper. So, on with the
story . . .
Tills wegk we received a very in
terestiifg letter from Sergeant Lepo
from Germany and at this time
seems very appropriate as the 7th
War Loan gets on its way The let-
ter read:
"I am writing from a printing
plant deep inside Germany, where
right now my pal "The Duke" is
patting liizzie (our fraulein is no
typist) on a nice part of her organ
shape to get going on opr copy.
But Lizzie doesn't know a d—
word of English. If we get any-
thing out of her, I’ll be sure to
enclose it in this letter.
“We haven't much to brag about
on our part in the war except for
the couple of times we Went into
action to get stories. Marty took
part in the liberation of the Allied
POW camp at Huffenstahl in the
Rliur. while Captain Daly and
were about the first soldiers in Dus-
seldorf (by mistake!) Our tank
spearhead came in a little later on,
and oh.bov, were we relieved.
About this time the flood of Nazi
PW was at high stage. Some sur-
rendered to us and just for curio-
sity I asked why? The one Ger-
man who could speak some Eng-
lish said in fright, "Ah, si* years—
dot’s eno*gh for me.” This seemed
to be the same all around . . the
soldiers were just fed up with it
all
“Perhaps this Is true but it took
some tough l imes to get this lesson

was jammed with crude wooden
