Message from the Transport Commander "The Transport Commander, Lt. J.R. Conte, is very anxious that all returning military personnel aboard the Henry Ward Beecher has as pleasant a trip home as possible." He is soliciting complaints. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Around the Deck with Mugg Wumpus Short Sketch: T / 5 Ejon Lipowski, was born in Germany, lived in Bremen and worked with an underground Anti-nazi group until arrested by the Gestapo in 1936. He spent 11 months in Luneburg Concentration Camp (One of the worst). When he was released he managed to get to Chicago where he joined the army in 1943, where he acted as interrogator for German PW's. Biggest regret so far: that he did not meet some of his former Nazi jailers in an American PW Camp. "T/5 Lou Pratt is the man you see with the cameras on deck, also the mustache. It's a hobby with him, the cameras not the mustache, but he has made it pay. He has sold a number of his pictures to newspapers and magazines." --------------------------------------------------------- Editor's Note "This bulletin belongs to the troops and crew aboard this ship.
