Tents Are Struck,
Men Return Home
From Encampment
Tents were struck at Camp Men
denhall Glacier and over 300 men
began an airlift in reverse today
as the first annual encampment
of Southeast Alaska’s National
Guard units came to an end. Men of
of the 208th Infantry Battalion
(Sep i are returning to their homes
throughout Southeast Alaska after
completing the first winter encamp
ment ever held in Alaska. Officers
of the National Guard Bureau from
Washington, D. C. have said this
encampment is the only winter ex- :
ercise in national guard history. |
Units in the states hold encamp- j
ments on'y in spring, summer or |
fall.
War Gaines

Activities at the camp wound up
with two days of war games which j
gave troops an opportunity to put
to use the technique they have I
learned in training during the past j
two weeks.
“The men have worked splend- J
idly,” Col. L. Lars Johnson, adju- j
tant general of the ANG said to- I
day. "Their participation was far
above average. The overnight man
eauvers showed that they have ab
sorbed a great deal of training in
a brief time.”
Thursday territorial legislators (
and officials were given a tour of,
the encampment climaxed by* a i
firepower demonstration given by a
heavy weapons crew flown here'
from the 3rd Battalion, 196th In- :
fantry Regiment at Fort Richard
son. Present were Governor Ernest
Grucning, Secretary of Alaska Jo
seph Kchoo, Territorial Senators
Anita Garnick and E. E. Engstrom,
Attorney General Jerry Williams,
Territorial Representative Glenn
Franklin and Mrs. Mary Barrer of
the Alaska Magazine.
Realistic Maneuvers
During the war games troops lived
and ate in the field and practiced
combat technique in night patrols,
raids and skirmishes. Use of blank
ammunition and flares added to the
realism of the maneuvers. Head
quarters moved from the campsite
into the forest and operated ac
cording to tactical situations.
Maneuvers ended Friday after
noon and were followed by pay call
for all troops participating in the
encampment. Lt. Col. H. M. Jalsma
of the U. S. Purchasing and Dis
bursing Office at Anchorage and
Major Emory Kunkle handled the
cash payment to troops. The pay
call illustrated another advantage
of the winter encampment to south
east Alaskans. Most members are
busy with fishing, lumbering or con- 1
struction work during the spring,
when encampments are normally
held by guard units. To hold an
encampment then would be an eco
nomic hardship for many members.
The winter encampment, coming
during a time of slack employment,
helps the men financially as well
as training them for use in an em
ergency.

"Behave like you would in your own
home town.”
This is the U.S. Army's advice to
the American soldier in Germany
on how to win friends and influence
Germans. “Act like professional
soldiers” is another precept being
drilled into the GI here.
' Perhaps no other country in the
world has such an inherent regard
for military excellence as Ger
many,” says the Army bulletin used
a guide for soldier instruction
Classen w
"It is not suggested that appeals
be made to inspire militarism on
their part,” the bulletin hastens to j
add. "But the fact that we are1
here in a military status override- j
any other factor thet can influence i
the armed forces' , ‘.ations with the
German people’.”
Even this '.■sc-ignition 01 German :
tove for soldiering is a long step
from the original postwar attitude
of the American occupation, m
those days everything possible was
done to discourage any sign or
sympton of militarism in Germans.

Cardinals Try
To Get Slanky
For New Manager
By JOE REICHLER
NEW YORK. Dec. 8—OPI—Eddie
I Stanky was expected to become tne
new St. Louis manager following a
I ' Yes, or No,” huddle today between
[ Cardinal President Fred Saigh and
I officials of the New York Giants.
Only an unexpected last minute
i obstacle, or stubbornness on the
part of one or both of the club
executives, will prevent the year's
j outstanding deal from being made.
In exchange for the aggressive
second baseman, the Giants wer^
to get pitcher Max Lanier and cen
ter fielder Chuok Diering, the
players they have been demanding
since last Nov. 20—shortly before
Marty Marion was released as pilct
cf the Cardinals.
Saigh, who is here to attend the
major league meetings opening this
morning, has been reluctant to
part with Lanier, the Cards’ 37
ycar-old southpaw who had a 11
and 9 record last season. He had
tried, without success, to interest
the Giants in right hander George
(Red) Munger.
President Horace Stoneham of
the Giants, however, has insisted
all along that “no Lanier, no deal.” j

Look Out for
I Duds, Adjacent
To Rifle Range
A warning to all persons using
! the rifle range and adjacent area
I near Mendenhall Glacier was is
|sued tdday by Lt. Col. Dwight W.
! Dean, commanding officer, 208th
! Infantry Battalion (Sep). Unex
' ploded rounds of artillery and mor
, tar ammunition may be found in
this area, he said. These “duds"
failed to explode during firepower
and attack demonstrations held by
tlio unit during its encampment.
When such projectiles land in
soft snow and fail to explode they
are still extremely dangerous, Col
onel Dean pointed out. They must
be destroyed or made inactive by
specialists with a knowledge of high
explosive missiles.
“If anyone locates a dud it should
be left alt^ie. On no account touch
or move the dud. Mark its location
and notify the Alaska National
Guard immediately," he said.
The duds resemble small rockets.
They are filled with high explosives.
The Alaska National Guard will
attempt to locate and disarm all
duds in the area and will announce
when the area is sale. The pre
sence of duds does not affect the
normal use of the rifle range.
