Editor’s Note; This is the first
in a series of articles on returned
veterans.
Cut off from the main force of
Allied troops with their radio, so
essential for sending back, reports
.on the enemy, out ,of , order, a
small American infantry unit
found themselves in a pretty tight
spot in the Moselle River .sector
of Southern France one day late
in October' 1944, .
Cpl. Joe Hodiri, a forward ar
tillery observer, was a member of
this' unit. He cautiously crept
through a field with enemy bull
ets spattering about him, made
Allied lines, secured , the needed
radio parts and once again dodged
back" to his outfit. '
For his gallantry, Hodin, who
has just resumed -his studies at
The College, has been - awarded
one of the nation’s highest mili
tary honors —the' Silver Star.
Veteran of 18 months of combat
overseas, he saw his first action
at the Anzio beachhead in Italy.
It was there that a low-flying
enemy strafed his positions 1 and
-aured him to be sent to a Naples
hospital. -
Returning to his division, the
33rd, Shortly thereafter,, Hodin
was in on the capture of Rome.
Next he took amphibious training
in preparation for the invasion of
Southern France.
Corporal Hodin. was wounded
again just, two days, after his. gal
lant action in Southern France—
this time by shrapnel from an
enemy mortar. Returning to ac
tion, he took part in Campaigns
in the Vosges Mountains, at Stras
bourg, Colmar, Nuremberg, Mun-.
ich and Berchtesgadeh. Incident
ally, the 33rd division received the,
Presidential Unit Citation, and a
similai-. French award for. its mer
itorius service in the Colmar sec
tor.

RESULT: MORE TRANSCONTINENTAL
TELEPHONE CIRCUITS
Willi wire scarce and wartime calls increasing,
telephone’engineers made existing pairs of long
distance wires carry nearly four times as many
calls as before. This was done lb rough installa
tion of additional carrier ei|uipmenl,requiring
closer spacing of the wires on I In? line and trans
positions af shorter intervals.
Three pairs on the Southern Transcontinental
Route were rearranged, and in a 430-mile section
this had to be done while keeping the urgently
needed wires in service all the time. To do this,
new tools and new methods had to he devised
in the laboratories aud on the job.
This is another among many examples of ly>w
Bell System teamwork and engineering skills
maintained telephone sendee under wartime
conditions.
