Exclusive Central Press Dispatch WEST FOINT, N. Y.—The low- ly plebe at West Point will find a welcome friend in its youthful new superintendent — Maj. Gen. Max- well D. Taylor, General Taylor, a Kansas City high school graduate, went through the mill as a cadet and then returned to West Point as an instructor for five years. This ex- perience has made him fully aware that the undergraduate is the un- derdog, in the military academy. “There is a saying at West Point that the plebe doesn’t rank any- body except the superintendent's dog and the commander’s cat,” the general observed good-naturedly. A characteristic grin spread across his face and he beckoned to a black curly cocker spaniel sprawi- ing at his feet. “You know,” he added brightly, “I'm taking my little black dog along so the plebes will be sure Lo have somebody to rank.” Also, there’ll be a big Irish setter by the name of “Lilimarlene,” which General Taylor acquired from a German peasant at Berchtesgaden and became so attached to, he iz having shipped here. Popular Fighting Leader An outstanding scholar and field commander at the age of 44, Gen- eral Taylor emerges from the vic- tory in Europe as one of the most popular fighting leaders. He wears the Purple Heart and enough dec- orations to cover the front of his Jjacket. Taylor was the first American general to touch the soil of France in the invasion. He led his 101st air-borne division when it jumped to the Normandy beachhead on D- day, and then commanded it through 73 days of combat in the Nijmegen area in Holland. This close association with the rugged young paratroopers makes General Taylor even better equipped to handle his new assign- ment. He has been able to study NEW BOSS — Maj. Gen. Taylor. at close-range the character and the make-up of the modern teen- age boy. A tall dashing figure, with A magnetic personality, General Tay- lor was a hero to his boys, and he, in turn, felt a strong affection for them. As a matter of fact, that brought the only feeling of regret when his new orders came. “Naturally, anyone from West Point would feel greatly honored to be called back as superintend- ent,” General Taylor observed. “But I did hate to leave the divi- sion I'd been fighting with so long. Why, they just seemed like part of the family.” General Taylor insists he has no revolutionary ideas to incorporate when he takes over at West Point. He will carry on in the footsteps of those predecessors he admired 30 much. “The ideals of West Point never vary, although there may be some alteration of the exact formula,” he explains seriously. “The empha- sis is on moral, physical and men- tal development. You see, only one-third of that comes out of a book.” The general, himself, places great emphasis on character de- velopment. He Can Be Strict While he's personally congenial and good-natured, General Taylor can be a very strict disciplinarian when the test comes. He will be sympathetic and understanding with the boys at West Point, but that doesn’t presage any laxity in military regulations. General Taylor has always been a student and applied himself dili- gently to whatever was at hand. An aptitude for languages in high school led the way to his present career., He studied Latin, Greek and Spanish, and served as president of the high school debaters’ club. His high scholastic record brought the appointment to West Point, from which he was graduated in 1922. General Taylor filled various Army assignments in Hawaii, China and Japan. He now speaks four languages fluently, Italian, French, Spanish and Japanese. and has a working knowledge of Ger- man. He enjoys athletics and is a whiz at tennis. Among the general's not too highly prized “curiosities” is a ten- nis championship cup presented him in Tokyo by the present Jap premier, back in the late 1930's. The Taylor collection recently got another “curiosity,” a portrait of Mussolini autographed to Hermann Goering. The general picked it up in a box car in Berchtesgaden, ('THIS MAN'S NAVY' THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—JUNEAU, ALASKA LAUGH PICTURE SUNDAY FEATURE | AT 20TH CENTURY| made the Ladic merry | the 20 IS COMING SUNDAY AS CAPITOL'S BILL opens tomor- apitol and in it Tom Drake, who has been seen here be- Of | fore, plays his most important role com |as Jess Weaver, a young man crippled C {oy a tall from a horse 1 is thus {unable to join a dirigible service at | Lakehurs It has 20th C gears surprise ntury-Fox h picture the very This Man's Navy” ntury complications | sue when a girl cabby,| Robin Raymond, and a the person of Trudy M up a luxurious but de-| who has beauty, rything, in her head enth occupant in a Ned Trumpet Wallace Beery) who gets ssfully to operate on finds g lovely girl j en Ned follows out the has started by boast- fact, but a fellow flyers that her Jess, understanding [ 1 Avenue house t rted into a girls' ady, ardrobe ev reof ov the owded room | dece Ption he |ing to his [His own sor plays along ("' Tre film Jess is @ i tells with humor and junderstanding a story of cowardice jand hercism, of submarine patrol over the Atlantic and adventure in {the steaming jungles of Burma his Man's Na has been hand- somely produced and deftly directed, Beery is at his very best as the boastful Trumpcet, and James Glea- Ison,"who plays his -kick Jimmy Shannon, carries on a hilarious running feud with Wally.
