...trial before a U.S. court-martial in London was Sergeant Judson H. Smith-one of twelve men charged with cruelty to G.I. prisoners in the guardhouse of the loth Reinforcement Depot at Lichfield. But last week, as the story of repeated brutalities (TIME, Dec. 31) continued to unfold, lowly Sergeant Smith became almost the forgotten man at his own trial. The accusing finger pointed higher & higher up the chain of command...
...Best." Last week, in a bare-boarded, dirty-windowed courtroom in London's Grosvenor Square, before a U.S. Army general court-martial, the ugly story began to unfold.

Within a few hours a junction was made near Lamao with the 1st Infantry Regiment. Bataan was sealed...
...story of the supply miracle that had put the Allied armies on Germany's border continued to unfold. In London last week, Colonel Leslie Arnold, onetime Eastern Air Lines assistant to Eddie Rickenbacker, told how the ten-day sweep of General Patton's Third Army across France had been serviced by hundreds of cargo planes shuttling back & forth from England. In the last stages of Patton's rush, 50 gallons of high-octane aviation fuel had been required for every 100 gallons of ordinary motor fuel laid down for Patton's tanks and trucks-but, Arnold...
