Mo | ae | a perl i \ VP: CAMP KILMER, N. J. &#—The American soldier is known to have a wide heart. He proved it here in aci'|an unusual way. | Y Le | They passed the hat recently | i }among some 25,000 or more troops here during a United Fund cam- paign. The money solicited was for 23 charities in nine neighboring communiaies of this sprawling 15,- 000-acre camp. Some 20,000 soldiers kicked in for a total of $9,350, The amounts given ranged from a few pennies to $20, | ‘The result has made the camp commander rather proud. It left some of the local citizens feeling rather ashamed, The reason: Most of’ the soldiers who contributed to the drive were in transit, men just entering the service or men leaving it. Only a handful have any permanent con- nection here. Yet the camp in- creased its contributions 650 per cent over a year ago, while the citizens who live in the commu- nities lagged behind their goal. “The average soldier stays here only an average of six days,” com- mented Brig. Gen. Charle: F. Craig, who regards the record ‘troop eontributions as proof that “Army men want to become part of whatever community they are stationed in, and help serve its needs.” And industrialist Robert Wood Johnson, chairman of the board of Johnson & Johnson, observed: “Our armed forces have demon- strated a responsibility to the com- munity that should serve as an ex- ample to those who take too much for granted.” A local newspaper, pointing at the generosity of these strangers in uniform, asked its readers: ~: “What kind of-citizens are we?” Why should soldiers passing ‘through a camp contribute so heavily to a charity drive in a com- munity in which they themselves had no roots? I came over to find mal | | out. Y “Why don’t you ask one of the men back from overseas?” said WAC Lt. Lola M, Irelan: of Nor- folk, Va. “It was the men just returned from duty abroad who seemed to give the most.” So I put the question to Sgt. Wil- liam Skerry, 25, of Brocklyn, N.Y., who received a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts during nearly 18 months in Korea. - “The main reason the fellows gave is because they figired the money. might help some kid who needed it,” he said. “The way most of ts feel is that we saw the suf- fering of the Korean people, par- ticulatly the kids, and we don’t want it to happen here, ite @ of us lucky enough to have a $5 bill were glad to toss it . We'like to feel we belong. “War gives a man some sense. ‘He i$ more tolerant when he comes back, and he thinks about things more.” Sgt. Skerry, a former machine gunner, left combat after being wounded by 13 shell fragments. He has applied for training to become an officer. “If I ever get to be a lieutenant,” he said, smiling, “‘it’ll be just my luck to draw a platoon in Korea. But I'll take it.” SECOND CHILD BORN SANTA MONICA, Calif, #—Sing- ing star Jane Powell and her hus- band, Geary Steffen, insurance executive, are receiving congratu- lations on the birth of their second child. } The infant, Suzanne Tiene, WELL, GYPSY JOE SAD (D MARRY A DARK, / HANDSOME MAN.

Morrow, and his wife. The Morrows, who now reside in Brentwood, have taken over the Mocambo, a Sunset Strip night- club, for that evening to entertain about 400 guests from over the country. The party is expected to cost $30,000. Hollywood is buzzing with prepa- rations for the party, biggest since the Marion Davis affair a few weeks ago. And Miss Davis’ party was the most elaborate the film colony has seen since the years threw their money around. Designers, furriers and jewelers report a steady flow of orders for the apt Lpreee Mocambo personnel m- pagne will flow from Methuselahs —bottles big enough to drown baby elephants. Two orchestras will play in relays in the club’s main dining room, where the soloist will | be Edith Piaf, the Parisienne song- stress. There’ll be a floor show too.
