SASEBO -ocromsn so - NQVEMBER 4th ALL work and no play on the LEYTEYS part was knocking hell out of the Ko-Reds, but we gave groundvto another enemy-boredom. It was a pleasant loss though, our concession being a brief but pleasurable return to Sasebo. In five days the LEYTE LADS had this ex-.lapanese naval stronghold pretty well cased. They knew for instance, how to say Papa-san and Mama-san, Where lay Blackmarket Row, that each Son of Nippon is born with a built in giggle, and all in all, that a guy could pitch a good liberty.
