According to the ATSC rubber co
ordinator, increased tactical de
mands in every theatre have made
the present airplane tire situation
worse than it has been at any time
since Pearl Harbor. "Its a major
problem that can be solved only
through the all-out cooperation of
everyone concerned,” he said, "be
cause it takes rubber—lots of rubber
—to keep AAF planes flying."

Given Service Stars
WITH THE 106TH CAVALRY
GROUP CMECZ) OF THE SEV
ENTH ARMY—S Sgt. Stanley S.
Wright, who lives at 1234 Eureka,
Wyandotte, has been awarded three
Bronze Service Stars for battle par
ticipation in the Normandy, North
ern France and Germany war cam
paigns.
He has materially assisted his
unit in the completion of all as
signed missions which has contribut
ed greatly in the rout and destruc
tion of the German forces in
France.
The soldier’s organization has
been fighting in France since July
1944. The 106th Cavalry Group
(Mechanized) participated in the
Normandy Campaign and later on
the front of Lieutenant General
Alexander M. Patch's Seventh Army
In eastern France.
The 106th Cavalry Group has
been spearheading many drives as a
forward reconnaissance force and
during the Foret de Parroy fighting
on the Seventh Army front fought
as Infantrymen until the German
defenses were smashed in that sec
tor. Recently, the Group held a
m-jor German division attack long
enough to allow troops to be shifted
to meet the threat.
S Sgt. Stanley S. Wright entered
the service January 27, 1942 and
has served overseas since Feb. 27,
1944. He is the brother of Mrs.
Stella Gilewski. Before joining the

Ack Ack is Right
Hand of Doughboy
Hegedus Now With
Troops in Alps
6TH ARMY GROUP, France-
Playing a leading role in the or
ganization of a vast network of de
fenses In the French Alps along the
Franco-Italian frontier, an Engi
neer Combat Battalion of the 44th
Anti-aircraft Artillery Brigade—
part of Lt. Gen. Jacob L. Devers’
6th Army Group—is gaining a rep
utation as “the doughboys’ right
hand.”
In its present position in the.
French Alps, the men of the battal
ion are fighting the bitter weather
with a fortitude that is comparable
to their ability as combat engineers.
Through some of the most diffi
cult fighting terrain in the world
twisting mountain trails, snow-cov
ered ridges, and innumerable points
that are “naturals” for enemy am
bushes these Combat Engineers
have cleared minefields, construct
ed by-passes, repaired roads and
constructed bridges to facilitate
troop movements. At the same time,
guarding against any possible Ger
man counter-attacks, mines are
laid, barbed-wire entanglements are
stretched along strategic places, and
bridges and roads are prepared for
demolition.
Commanded by Major Willard
White, 2519 Harris Blvd., Austin,
Teas, the battalion is a compara
tive newcomer to the battlefields
of Europe. However, intense train
ing in all types of bridge-building,
assault-boat crossings, and infantry
tactics have given it a foundation for
coping with almost any kind of
enemy action.
Members of the Engineer Combat
Battalion include Pfc. Steven T.
Hegedus, 1117 Cora.
