Private With 45th
Traveled Fast In
Sicily, But Now
He’s Slowed Down
YI7ASHINGTON. Sept. 25—'Spe-
‘ ’ rial i—Private Alien T. Hep-
pert fought his way across Sicily
In 15 day*. He moved fast In
those 15 days—faster than he ever
will again. He now is paralyzed
from the waist down.
Today he lies at Walter Reed
hospital here. His right calf Is
gone but that alone means nothing
when there Is no feeling below the
waist, anyway.
Private Heppert talks slowly and
his voice catches In his throat at
times. He wants to talk but breath
conies hard. He Is a man that
only war would make Into a sol-
dier. Oentle and quiet, he was a
printer in Riclunond, Va., where
he lived with his wife, before the
army slung a gun across his
.shoulders and put him In Infan-
try.
* * *
I>UT this 30-year-old printer was,
one of the troopers who helped
clean the Germans out of the
mountains. It took the enemy 15
days to catch up with him, days
literally without end
"We got clear across the island,
though. In 15 days.” he said
proudly. "Once in a while they’d
give us a lift but mostly we walk-
ed. Sometimes all night.”
It was on the home stretch that
German artillery cracked Into him,
"We were Just outside of Palermo
when It happened." he said. "It
was noon."
He was in the mortar squad,
feeding ammunition to an 81-mm
gun. Something sped toward him.

held the upper hand all the way.
Clinton's first tally came In the
opening quarter after one of Jack
Ferguson's passes was intercepted
on El Reno's 45-yard line and con-
verted Into a touchdown The kick
for extra point was good.
With no scores posted In the sec-
ond stanza, the count stood 7-0 at
the half and the El Renoites came
back apparently bent on stemming
the tide—but to no avail. The Tor-
nadoes on a sustained drive march-
ed down the turf for a touchdown
and the ball was carried through
the line for the extra marker.
Score Is Deceiving
In the final quarter, the visitors
again rang the bell with a wide
sweep around right end. and kick-
ed the extra point
Despite the outcome of the game.
It was far better than the score
would Indicate. The Indians at
times appeared the better team,
and gave marked promise of de-
velopment Ferguson and BUI Bay-

be another non-conference match.
"I think It was an 88." he said, j is scheduled here Friday night, Oct.
He did not remember how many
times blood plasma was given him
after tire injury.
He apologized. “I don't know,''
he explained. "I ktnda passed
out.”

I IK was a member of the 45th

land. He was In Africa only five |
days before being shipped to the 1

him off at Sicily at 2 a. m. on tire
morning of the 10th when the j
opening guns heralded Invasion's

Two of his brothers also are In j

“Funny.” he said. ’'The brother

wouldn't mind trading places with
his brother.
IN the first column on this page is a story of a private
* from the 45th division, now in Walter Reed hospital,
Washington. If you haven’t read it, do so before you go
further with this reading . . .
Now that you’ve finished reading about Private Hep-
pert, of how “his voice catches in his throat,” don’t you
feel a bit of a catch in your own throat? If there’s a spark
of patriotism, an ounce of American pride, or even one’
drop of human kindness in your make-up, you’ll feel it,
surely.
Can’t you imagine how Private Heppert feels as he
lies in the hospital bed—that is, how he feels with the
half of his body in which he still retains some feeling?
For that half includes his mind, and it shouldn’t be too
difficult to picture his mental processes.
He is proud of the part he had in the conquest of
Sicily. He isn’t complaining about the sacrifice he has made.
, wa*1 f!ut there are times, in between, when he must think of
iw.mm.J’.___Ml what a dark future faces a printer—a man who works
on his feet most of the time—paralyzed from the waist
down.
It doesn’t take much thinking about Private Heppert
to bring that catch to your throat, does it?
* # *
gUT are you doing anything practical about that “catch
in his voice’ or the one you feel in your own? Are
you doing anything to show the thousands of “Private
Hepperts” who are coming back from the world’s battle-
fields that you, too, are proud of the country for which
they have fought, anything to justify in any measure the
great sacrifice they have made in your behalf?
Could you walk into Walter Reed hospital—or into
Borden hospital at Chickasha, less than 40 miles from El
Reno—shake hands with the broken heroes you would
find there and tell them truthfully that you have per-
formed your share of the war task one-tenth, one-hun-
dredth, or even one-thousandth as well as they have theirs?
The job those boys and millions like them have been
doing and must continue to do is a tough one. The one as-
signed to you and to us here at home is comparatively
simple. Yet, their works speak for themselves; from re-
ports now at hand, our works in hundreds of instances
have yet to be heard from.

Moscow Announces
One of Greatest
Victories of War
LONDON. Sept. 25 —(<P)— Smo-
lensk, among Europe's most heavily
fortified cities and backbone of
German central Russian defenses,
fell to Soviet forces Saturday in one
of the greatest victories of the Rus-
sian war, Moscow announced Satur-
day night.
Roslavl. 65 miles southeast of
Smolensk on the Desna river defense
line, also has fallen to the smash-
ing Russian attacks, thc announce-
ment said. The victories were an-
nounced in a special order of the
day by Premier Marshal Joseph
Stalin.
Three Columns Converge
Strong Russian attacks on Ger-
man bridgeheads on the eastern
bank of the middle Dnieper river
were hurled back with heavy tank
losses, and Soviet columns operat-
ing north of Cherkasi were smashed,
ft was claimed.
The fall Smolensk was re-
garded here as one of the most
disastrous defeats suffered by Ger-
man forces In the current Russian
offensive.
Berlin said the Smolensk evacua-
tion was completed early Saturday
and that covering forces blew up
bridges and important crossroads
after the last German transport
had left the city.
In the nine months since a bad-
gered Red army threw back the
Germans from Stalingrad, the Rus-
sians hare accomplished two-thirds
of their task of hurling the In-
vaders from Soviet soil.
Job Two-Thirds Done
Hitler's steadilf-retreatlng forces
j |ave now given up all but about
230.000 of the 700.000 square miles of
foviet territory they held at the
height of their successes, and hold
only about 3 percent of Russia's 8,-
800.000 square-mile area.
Even In Its easternmost penetra-
tion at Stalingrad the Germans oc-
cupied only about 9 percent of that
vast nation.
Since then the Red army lias
driven them westward 650 miles and
now stands a bare 150 miles from
! the old Polish border. Another
150-milc retreat would place the
Germans on thc "Rlbbentrop-Molo-
tov" line, thc springboard of Hit-
lers Invasion of Russia June 6.
1941.
The fall of Kiev also appeared im-
minent. The charging Red troops
there were separated only by the
bread I h of the Dnieper river from
llic enemy. Moscow announced in
Its regular daily war bulletin
Big Railroad Center
The Soviet communique had an-
nounced the capture of Korelly, sev-
en miles northeast of Mmolcnsk.
around which the famous Todt en-
gineers had constructed a vast sys-
tem of defense.
Other Moscow radio reports said
a second column of Red army troops
was advancing from the north live
miles away while a third column
was swinging up from the south.
Bmolcnsk. which has two rail-
roads entering It from the west and
three Irom thc east, fell to thc

Pressing: Onslaught

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA. Sept 25 —(*»►—
American and British ground forces
have smashed their way to the
mountain tops guarding the smoke-
filled plain of Naples, headquar-
ters announced today, as allied air-
men took a growing toll of Ger-
man troops attempting to flee by
plane from Corsica to Italy.
Thc American fifth army pressed
its onslaught day and night against
the strong German mountain de-
fense line. The total of Nazi pris-
oners taken since Lieutenant Gen-
eral Mark W. Clark's forces landed
at Salerno rose to well over 2.000.
Going Is Slow
Thc going was slow for the allied
attackers, who sweated up steep
hillsides with mules carrying guns
and ammunition where neither
trucks nor tanks could travel. But
the soldiers, who toiled on rooting
out Oerman strongholds as they
went, had the satisfaction of look-
ing down from the mountain tops
today on low country where the
enemy will lose the defensive ad-
vantages he now possesses.
Nineteen big transport planes car-
rying Oerman personnel from Cor-
sica to the mainland were shot
down yesterday by allied fight-
ers which had downed at least
seven such craft the previous day.
At least a dozen more of the
heavily-laden transports were dam-
aged in the past two days as R. A.
F. fighters kept up a vigilant patrol
over the route between Corsica and
the mainland.
