ROMERO BACK
FROM OVERSEA
COMBAT DUTY
Back from nine months’ duty
on a combat transport in the
South Pacific and participation in
the invasion of Saipan and Tin
ian, Cesar Romero is playing a
different role these days.
Hollywood’s tall, dark “Cisco
Kid” of the movies, now a boat
swain’s mate in the coast guard,
is appearing before the nation’s
warplant workers to explain just
ii =■
what the fighting men overseas
! are thinking and doing.
Romero, who enlisted two years
! ago after completing “Coney Is
; land” with Betty Grablf and
j “Wintertime” with Sonja Henie,
received the usual, rigorous basic
training, then was assigned to an
j assault transport ship. Extended
preparations ana maneuvers fol
lowed along the west coast, and
finally the ship headed west.
“The Japs were stronger on Sai
pan than had been anticipated,”
Romero said commenting on the
action he had seen. “Within 60!
minutes after reaching our desti-1
nation, the troops were ordered j
1 =^\
i
ashore. „ i
“Devastation on the island was 3
terrific .Burning debris and dead 3
Japs were everywhere. Civilians 3
cornered with Jap soldiers were 4
killing each other or committing 3
suicide. Some jumped off cliffs, j 3
while others used rifles or hand i ^
grenades. Every day hundreds of J *1
dead bodies floated past our ship. 3
“After the landings were com- ]
pleted, our job was to pick up the 3
wounded. We carried the first 4
group back to Eniwetok, then re- j '
turned to transport Marines from .
Saipan to Tinian. These Marines <i
took an awful trouncing, jump- 3
ing from one invasion to another 1
without a stop. There were so 3
many wounded on board that we 4
ran out of blood plasma and every 3
man in our Coast Guard ship’s 3
crew voluntered for transfusions. 4
“Four days after arriving at 4
Tinian, we loaded more wounded 3
aboard and headed back to Pearl 3
Harbor.” ]
Romero returned to the States
several months ago. j
