LAUGHS ON ARMY By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—I’ve been hearing such a raft of stories | about Army inductions and med- ical examinations that I can’t {think of a better way to start to- 'day’s communique than by re- laying a few. It’s said they are old stories, revived in every war, | but if that’s true, you wouldn't ihave heard them for 25 years. One told by Leonard Lyons of ithe New York Post concerns an armless man. Much to his sur- jprise, the armless man was ac- cepted after his physical examj- nation. Explained the Army doc- tor: “We've got a blind man tanks, and you Ish Kabbible of. Kay Kyser’s band says: “The way they ex- amine you now, one doctor looks into your left ear and another doctor looks into your right ear, and if they can’t see each other you're in.” Frank Fay: “If you can see lightning and hear thunder, you're in.” Ed Gardiner: (“Archy” of “Duffy's Tavern”): “If they feel of you: and you’re warm, you're in” j Eddie Jaffe, self-styled ugliest press agent on Brodway: “When I got rejected I asked the doctor if it was because of my eyes. He said: ‘No, not exactly, but next time you're examined you'd bet- ter bring around a Seeing-Eye ‘There’s only one kind of a Marine, and that’s a fighting Marine. Sgt. Woodrow Sporn is one, and Sgt. Murray Lewis is another .It was through Sergeant Ipwis I learned that Sergeant Sporn is the author of a new bal- lad called “He’s A Marine.” Now Sergeant Lewis, before he put’ on a uniform last Spring, was tub- thumper for the Stork Club, and launched the deb-of-the-year ca- reer of Miss Oona O'Neil, so I{ was used to being tipped off to] gems of informa- tion by the gentleman. Which brings up to Sergeant Sporn, a slender, serious Brook- lyn boy who was educated at Johns Hopkins, the University of Virginia and Columbia Univer- sity in order to become one of our moret successful writers of soap operas. With the Marine Corps’ 167th anniversary coming up November 10, Sergeant Sporn got to thinking about how few Marine | CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our heart- |felt thanks to those friends and neighbors who were so kind to us during our recent: bereavement, the death of our beloved one, |Maria Recio.

Stimson that 7,500,000 men will be serving in the Army by the end of next year emphasizes the enormity of this war. For that number is greater than the combined total of soldiers in every previous war in the nation’s bistary.

Some half mil- lion men enlisted in the War of 1812, slightly more than two mil- lion served with the Union in the Civil War, and 280,000 were en- gaged in the war with Spain.

He»fiever had written a song in his life, but he ‘went to work on one anyway. ee Sergeant Sporn got the lyric done, but was stumped for a tune. He appealed to Mitchel W. Post and Marion Barry of Tin Pan Al- ley, and they turned out a tune. Vaughn Monroe has_ introduced the ballad, recordings have been made, and what happens to “He’s A Marine” on and after November 10 is in the laps of the juke boxes. __As I said, there is only one clas- sification of Marines. Sergeants Sporn and Lewis signed up as bat- tle correspondents. They’d like to be in the Solomons doing t*eir fighting by day and war corres- pondents by night. But they were assigned unexpectedly to press work in New York, and were somewhat nonplussed. The point I’ve been building up to—you should know that the song’s prof- its go to Navy relief, and that the Marine Corps has been getting a good press lately—is that Ser- geants Sporn and Lewis, a couple of fighting Marines seen their duty and done it. i ay wees THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ENDING SPECIAL RIGHTS IN CHINA) Wide World Features This year marks 100 years of| extraterritoriality in China.
